Kuala Lumpur

After spending 6 years frequently coming and going, including the entire challenging period of the pandemic in Kuala Lumpur, I can now confidently call this vibrant city my second home.

Even though I no longer live here semi-permanently, this special place will always hold a cherished spot in my heart.

And yet I still feel like I'm floating around, haven't completely settled in despite the fact that half of my wardrobe from Macau is neatly placed in my new condominium room.

Styling Silk Slip Dress and Sneakers

I did some shopping lately, and boy, does it feel good! All these moving in between the business of work is stressing me out, so I needed some retail therapy, and trust me, it always works. I know, bad, bad thing to do, but to be fair, I was much worse before. If you're an OG reader, then I guess you'd know.

Back from the Anti Social

Hello, strangers! Back from being antisocial (social media). Finally feeling some semblance of normalcy after settling into a new life here in Kuala Lumpur. Yes, it's been 2 weeks, it's been that fast! Time flies real quick, I tell you. And yet we still do not have proper living room furniture in our new apartment.
