Wow I cannot believe this week is already over. This is such a sad thing to say, but I wish this week was longer! I have to-do lists up to my ears with wedding planning, charity auction planning and post-holidays catch-up work for my regular day-job tasks. Did I mention I found my wedding dress??? … More Best Photos of 2013 (and I said yes to the dress!)
Five countries. 17 cities. 1 year. 2013 was definitely the year of travel. This was the year I took action and let go of my fear of failure and my fear around meeting other people’s expectations. I did what felt right at the time and I did it for me, not anybody else. From planning … More 2013: My Year in Review
It has certainly been a while between posting hasn’t it? Last week I was exceptionally busy with work projects and editing photos with my brand new trial of Photoshop Elements. Ever since my computer crapped out, I have been slowly re-downloading programs and Photoshop definitely made the cut. I am no where near editing all … More Tropical Spice Garden: A Hidden Penang Delight

The last one we visited was the Shanghai Aquarium which was … More Kuala Lumpur: From Aquaria to a Reggae Bar in Chinatown
Yesterday we managed to stick with one of my 6 goals for the next 6 months! Instead of another lazy Saturday, we fueled up with some bacon (hello pork I missed you) and drove to Penang Hill. After getting lost several times, we eventually made it to the entrance of the Botanical Gardens and the jeep track. While … More Hiking Straight Up Penang Hill
Good news! I picked up my laptop on Friday! It turns on and everything! Bad news… They wiped my entire hard drive. Which would be fine except my external hard drive has chosen this exact moment to go haywire and not open on my laptop. Um. Awesome. I am praying that it works later and … More Kuala Lumpur: Finding Peace in the Batu Caves
A couple of weeks ago Peter had an unexpected 4 day weekend, prompting us to take a last minute trip to Kuala Lumpur! With only a week to spare, we booked flights and a hotel and were off by Friday afternoon.
