I'm currently based in Penang and is in love with her blog, books and camera. Am totally addicted to black coffee (no sugar and cream, please) and nasi lemak makes me a happy, happy girl. When not reading (or working), I’m a shutterbug using mostly my good ol' Nikon D40 (and now I'm obsessed with my iPhone) to take the photos you see here in this blog. The Amazon Kindle, Dell Mini (a Netbook), Loverboy Bear (a hunkish teddy from Vermont), and Combat Bear (a plush teddy from Rhode Island) are a few of my favorite things. RSS me. And get connected through Email, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

M & A (no, not Merger & Acquisition but Meme & Award!)

MEME: The letter 'C'

I was at Sheng's blog and saw the post R, and what it is to me... . I decided to play as well, so I asked for a letter from her and she gave me the letter 'C'. Thanks, Sheng!

Here are the 10 C's of my life:

  1. Coffee - A must to kickstart my mornings
  2. Cats - I'm nuts about cats and had a few as pets
  3. Camera - I always carry one with me daily (that'd be my Canon A460 point-and-shoot) and for special photoshoots, I'll take my DSLR
  4. Christmas - It is both the day of birth of Jesus Christ and my hubby!
  5. Christ - He is the reason we celebrate Christmas and I love the beautiful song We Are the Reason by Avalon. Andrew Wong, a blogger and occasional photoshoot friend, sings it very well.
  6. Catherine - my bubbly, younger sister
  7. China - My late maternal grandpa was from China and I miss him so, so much. He used to share his Guinness Draught with me when I was a toddler...
  8. Computer - An important part of my life. I *heart* the Internet... my blog buddies... my Facebook buddies... my blog...
  9. Colours - I love colourful things and the colour orange makes me happy
  10. Cosmos - We are, after all, part of this harmoniously systematic universe!

Thank you so much for the award, Alice! And I love the meme. Though if I were to do it myself I might be tempted to come up with a new word, "cbooks" :P

Book Talk

"Books give us pleasure not because they make us comfortable, though some good ones may, but because they entertain us, they make us laugh, they make us cry; they inform, persuade, disturb, convince, seduce us; they make us think, speculate, see - and we recognize what we see as true, not as the truth but as a truth in the writer's fabulous construction that corresponds to what we have observed in ourselves, or others, or in the world at large, or can conceive of observing."

- William McPherson
