Hot Shop In The City
Two months a go, when I was enjoying my (another) holiday, I bumped into Bart in Cazbar at lunch time. The last time I saw him was probably in our wedding, as he had relocated to Bali and we moved to Scotland, so it was a nice surprise to see him again. He told me [...]
Scottish vs. Malaysian Myths
I read in disbelief when Catherine Brown, the food write, revealed her discovery that haggis, a very unique Scottish dish, in fact, appeared first in an English cookbook 171 years before Robert Burns even mentioned it.

100 Things To Do Before You Die (?)

The book was an instant bestseller and inspired a publishing industry all of its own with others of “100 Things” spin-offs and and even the movie The Bucket List. I have been meaning to read it, but there was [...]
Chick-Lit Overload
Here’s a question. Why do most of the chick-lit novels have their main characters working either as an author, a journalist, or as an editor in book publishing industry? Remember Candace Bushnell’s Carrie Bradshaw (a columnist), or Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones (an editor) or Sophie Kinsella’s Becky Bloomwood (a journalist), and of course, Lauren Weisberger’s [...]
Stick To Your Script
Maybe Sharon Stone thinks she could be another Susan Sarandon. Maybe she thinks she is intelligent enough to write her own script. Maybe she just doesn’t realize how powerful China and its market is. clipped from film.guardian.co.uk Sharon Stone is facing a ban on the showing of her films in China after suggesting the recent [...]
Blast From the Past
Social networking websites certainly are on the top of the game, everybody is hooked up and cannot live without it. There has been discussion in many industries about how they could tap into this new trend and get benefits out of it. It is so powerful that HSBC had to cancel their plans to scrap [...]
