It’s strange but true. Real yet surreal. Back to normal but a “new normal.” The world is ‘opening up’ after the corona virus lockdown that has affected more than 7 million people worldwide. Hong Kong which was affected in its very early stages seems to have done quite well comparatively. While Hong Kong has never… {Read More}

From Pokfulam to Kowloon Peak
This post is as much for my passion of writing – jotting down mundane day-to-day affairs that soon become memories of the distant past, as it is for being a helpful guide to anyone wanting to hike up to Suicide Cliff / Kowloon Peak – the highest peak in Kowloon at 600m. Here I’ve talked… {Read More}
Trick Eye Museum Hong Kong – a review
I had received an invitation to visit Trick Eye Museum sometime in November last year but our weekends were so packed with the boys’ activities, my work-related bazaars, my husband’s rugby commitments, plus planning for a big upcoming family event, that we could never find the time or the energy to enjoy this little treat together. Turned out for the best though for… {Read More}

A visit to Noah’s Ark in Hong Kong
Incredible but true! The world’s only full size replica of Noah’s Ark, in our own city, in Hong Kong! Maybe it was too unbelievable, maybe it wasn’t marketed as well as the other attractions in Hong Kong or simply maybe because my boys have grown up too fast, which why might explain why we took so long… {Read More}
Mums@PLAY – a new beginning
It’s close to 10 PM. I have been lying in my bed for an hour, resting my aching back, soothing my tired calves, trying to shut my eyes and go to sleep, but it seems futile with that last bit of adrenaline still refusing to leave my mind and body. It is making my fingers… {Read More}
