There are pros and cons of working from home. One of the biggest concerns that some of you may have is how to maintain your weight. Sure, Malaysia has started to ease the lockdown in some areas yesterday. But for others whose job can be done at home, they’ll still be spending most of the time, 5 days a week, burning lesser calories than usual. To my surprise, I don’t put on weight. I’m eating as usual but I acknowledge that I have a slight change of habits when working from home. I feel it’s good to share it with all of you, perhaps can help 🙂 Eat Plenty of…

Bajirao Mastani, an Award-winning Bollywood Movie for Lockdown Leisure
I seldom watch Bollywood movies. But if you’re free during the lockdown, I highly recommend “Bajirao Mastani”, an award-winning Indian movie that will mesmerise you for 158 minutes. “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” was the only Indian movie that I watched in my teenage years and it left a very good impression of Indian movies on me. #90skid #shahrukhkan After that, I didn’t watch any Indian movies until the lockdown. Now that I have more free time than ever, suddenly I thought of watching something different. I remembered the trip to India that I cancelled because of the unrest in Kashmir… So, I googled the best Bollywood movie and Bajirao Mastani…

Earth Day, Bees and Mirabell Gardens
Happy belated Earth Day 2020! Sorry for the late blog post, I was busy preparing for something important and not feeling well… but! I’m so happy that Google made Earth Day, which falls on 22 April, educated and FUN! Also, the Earth Day Doodle game reminds me of the beautiful Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg, Austria. Google’s Earth Day 2020 Doodle Bee Game In case you were too busy WFH yesterday and didn’t open Google at all, you’re missing going to enjoy the Bee game now that you’re free. I thought we could only play the game yesterday, but I did it again today, hehe! Basically, we’re helping a cute honeybee…

Happy Easter from Hill of Crosses, Lithuania
Happy Easter to my Catholic and Christian friends! I wish I could say it from Hill of Crosses, Lithuania, but I’m staying at home. I hope you’re practising the social distancing too 🙂 Hill of Crosses is a pilgrimage site in northern Lithuania. As you can see from my cover photo, there are hundreds of thousands of crosses, rosaries and other religious-related things on the hills (Wikipedia says there are 100,000 crosses in 2006).

Missing Spain Nightlife? Turn On These Songs for Latino Vibe
I literally MISSED the nightlife in Spain when I went there in 2018. My luggage was missing, I had no idea when it would turn up. As I had to be conscious of my spending for the next 9 days, I swallowed my dream of dancing with an attractive señor in a Spanish bar. Adiós! :'( Speaking about Spain and Latin songs, I’ve been stuck at home for almost a month and it starts to take a toll on me emotionally. I . need . to . spice up this bedroom-living room-balcony-mini market routine! So, I often listen to Latin songs because they have catchy, sensual beats. They put colour…

Cinque Terre, a Walk to Remember in Italy
COVID-19, be gone! It took me some time to get inspiration for what to write about for this week’s blog post. I miss walking outside so much thus I decided to write about my one-day adventure in Cinque Terre, Italy. It was a very long walk and tiring, yet made me so happy. Oh, how I wish to experience it again, especially at times like this! Cinque Terre is the postcard image of colourful buildings on top of a cliff with a beautiful blue sea that some of you may have seen on Google. The must-visit destination in Italy is located on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline and consists of…

Confessions of a Crossdresser
Buon giorno! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I went to Bali for four days and returned to KL in a flowery mood. It was a great, lovely short trip with my boyfriend. As you can see from the cover photo, we have a huge age gap. A friend asks me, “Are you for real?” haha… But hey! Age is just a number. We don’t get to choose who the heart wants. It just happens… You can deny or mask the truth, but you can’t lie to yourself. And then, out of a sudden, this friend of mine makes a shocking confession. “Clara… I’m a crossdresser.” The Heartbreaking, Beautiful…

Galentine’s Day at Sea Rock Villa, Bentota, Sri Lanka
It’s the lovey-dovey month again (yes, FEBRUARY) and the sky has been gloomy these days. Come on, we need sunshine to welcome Valentine’s day! In February 2019, I went to Sri Lanka for a 6 days solo trip and enjoyed it to the max. The travel agent arranged a one-night stay at Sea Rock Villa, Bentota before my last day and I found myself thinking, “Yes! I deserved this!”. Bentota is a resort town with clean, private beaches, comfortable resorts and is less packed. It’s a contrast to Hikkaduwa, which is as busy as Kuta (Bali). If you’re thinking to have Valentine’s Day trip to Sri Lanka with your bae,…
