His Royal Highness, The Duke of York, Prince Andrew graced us with his presence at our office a day before Independence Day. We were told many things regarding protocol, since we didn’t want to look like fools in front of a member of the royal family (especially not one [...]

LL and I were in Ipoh today for a friend’s wedding. We arrived really late last night and checked into the Heritage hotel, which has not been updated since the 80s, and attended Geekchic’s morning wedding service.
I have to say the service was FAST. I believe we got over it in 1 hour. There was [...]

For some odd reason, emotion got the better half of me, and I decided to go buy the Bialetti Mukka Express Cappucino maker. I blogged about my initial discovery a few months ago, when I had dinner at Neroteca with LL.
