This morning while I was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, our security phone started to buzz. “Delivery for you,” we were told. “Did you order anything?” asked my husband. “No” I replied quite surprised at the early morning call. The courier man arrived with a decent size carton and the addressee was me! That’s… {Read More}
Happy in Happy Valley
This post was featured on The HK Hub, a one-stop site for expats in Hong Kong on May 4, 2013. http://thehkhub.com/i-live-here/explore/happy-in-happy-valley/ Early one Saturday morning, desperate for an extra bit of wink time (late night celebrations for his recent rugby victory), my husband delegated the task of taking my son for his football practice to me. Being… {Read More}
TO BE or NOT TO BE at the Hong Kong Sevens 2013
7 reasons TO BE: 1. Nice opportunity to combine fame and game if your child, like mine is participating in mini rugby. Mini rugby fancy dress 2. If you have that fancy dress and wig gathering dust in your wardrobe then this is the place to flaunt it. Who knows you might also make headlines… {Read More}
Happy Navroze!
21st March. A day to celebrate every year. A time when I always miss my home, my colony, my city. I am a Parsi by birth and although my early ancestors must have been born in Persia (now Iran) before they fled their country to escape the invasion of the Arabs, I and most of… {Read More}
It’s Springtime folks!
With Easter holidays round the corner, memories of Easter egg hunts, decorating eggs and a beautiful spring in London come rushing back to my mind. We lived in London at that time and I was gearing up for the two week long Easter break at school. Not that I was dreading the holidays, in fact I… {Read More}
An unplanned day
Not very often does the ‘unplanned’ pop into my well planned life. I take great pride in planning my days thoroughly at least a week in advance so that I can set my priorities right and get the tasks completed on time. Of course there have been times when things don’t always go as per schedule… {Read More}
Where did my little boy go?
“You worry too much Mummy,” he tells me, with a big frown on his face and standing up as tall as his almost 9 years frame can make him, when I ask him to be careful one more time as he runs down the slope. “Of course I am supposed to worry” I tell him,… {Read More}
Rock-ing in Macau
Normally speaking we are not the best planners when it comes to holidays and most of our holidays have been planned at the very last minute. This time however going by our disappointment during the Christmas holiday period, we planned our trip to Macau more than a month in advance. But honestly travelling from HK… {Read More}
A coffee a day
Coffee cures….coffee nourishes …..coffee heals…..I can’t remember exactly when I started drinking coffee on regular basis, maybe in London, that was less than 3 years ago, and now coffee has become an integral part of my day. After my morning routine of dropping off the kids to school and jogging, I look forward to to… {Read More}
Home is where the Helper is?
“What? You don’t have a helper?” Ever since I have moved back to Hong Kong, I have been asked this question umpteen number of times, accompanied by raised eyebrows and shocked faces. I am a stay-at-home mum, have two growing boys, a house and a husband to look after, so where is the excuse for not… {Read More}
