How amazing is that? And i love how i somehow always find myself coming back to this blog every time a new year dawns, albeit alternate years apart, that it has become somewhat of a tradition for me even. I must say a plus point is that literally nobody is reading this blog (can i still even call it that) so my oxymoron of a public platform on the world wide web accessible to 7 billion people remains a private sanctuary unhinged.
So many things have transpired, expired, inspired since my last post, how does one even begin?

2017 in a nutshell
More than a year since my last post, and 2017 is already coming to an end. What an amazing year it has been - nothing major or spectacular but for me as long as my family is in good health and we get to spend quality time together as a unit, that's as eventful as it gets!
Started the year off right, spent an amazing New Year's eve celebration in our favourite place in the whole wide world, Switzerland. Skiing in Villars & Diablaret then back in Geneve with pitstops in Lausanne and Montreux, then to London again before flying back.
Summer of 2017 we took a family trip down under to Melbourne and Sydney - a totally spur of the moment decision thing but wonderful as always. Beautiful erratic winter in Melbourne, as always, and crisp and cool Sydney. The trip coincided with my 32nd birthday (promise this was unplanned... or was it?) which we celebrated at Matt Moran's Aria (food was top notch, please do try if you have the chance).
Celebrations were cut short unfortunately with the passing of my beloved FIL - he had been suffering with Stage 4 lung cancer since December 2015 and succumbed to the disease just short of commencing radiotherapy treatment at IKN in Putrajaya. Innalillahiwainnaillahirajiun.
Now as 2017 is drawing its curtains, I go on a different kind of journey altogether. Will probably sit and write about it, likely in a year's time as it looks like this blogging thing has become an annual affair LOL. Hoping and praying for Allah's blessings and that He grant all of us our deepest and sincerest wishes, for He is the best of planners.
Lets bring on 2018 with a bang!
PS: Promised myself no weight loss resolutions this year coz, lets face it, they've never stuck! ;P

Micro management
If I have over seven years working experience (and i'm DAMN good at what I do), please don't treat me like a fresh grad houseman, comprende? The only micro i need is a celine luggage.

Bag Baru
Today I'm finally taking out my brand new baby the LV Pochette Metis. Looking in my closet most of my bags are huge! I tend to gravitate towards big bags because I love to just chuck everything inside plus I'm tall so smaller bags would just disappear on me. But this one is such a good size and it fits so much! Plus point = adjustable cross body strap which is removable so it can double as a clutch too. LOVING IT!
Classic monogram done right.

Appom adventures
Made plans to see my HKL girls for tea yesterday, and we finally got to try the new appom place on Jalan Pudu (of all places!). I usually get my appom fix from the Indian aunty behind TMC and she makes them the bomb.com, but Hoppers apparently makes them fusion style and includes SAVOURY options and I'm definitely down for anything savoury. Came for the new special: BUTTER PRAWNS! But it was late in the day and it was already sold out.
I picked from the girls' plain with coconut milk, rendang ayam, gula melaka and horlicks ones before actually ordering mine lol. That's what friends are for eh, sharing food! How else would we have managed to eat 15 appoms in one seating? ;D
The savoury crab one was reeeeally nice and refreshing - with a squirt of lemon and that beetroot dressing, plus an additional runny egg por mi, PERFECTION! The sweet mango one was a miss - edible flowers were a tinge bitter and the mangoes could have been just a tad riper (is that even a word?) (plus i'm spoilt by my Harum Manis mangoes, I can't take any other kind lol). But they serve with a dash of sugar and coconut milk so all in all it was not too bad, but could have been better. These two appoms with a coconut drink cost RM31 which is a bit on the higher end but still not too bad for a novelty meal such as this.
So we'll definitely come again to try out newer varieties once available sebab sedap! And parking is easy too - paid open parking just a few doors down so you don't have to park on the sidewalks of busy Jalan Pudu.. takut bas langgar!
