Hi there, I’m happy you found my newsletter where I write about varied every day sometimes ‘quiet’ topics that may be ‘passed over’ by others but that touch me on a personal level. My hope is they resonate with you too. My subject matter changes from foods and recipes I find interesting that inspire me to  ‘resurrect’ long-lost ones like Cheok Wah the golden jelly made and eaten during festive occasions and others I find appealing to diverse other topics on plants, animals, diet, and health, life’s experiences and the occasional book review. I hope you’re able to relate to them. My shared experiences are likely also the common person’s life experiences and I try to bring awareness of them on a conscious level. To me, this creates a sense of appreciation for even those nondescript events of our daily lives that often get trampled under the big rush and busyness of our days. And to remind others we are not alone. When assailed by common life problems, we can uplift ourselves and still find happiness.

Writing allows me time to unwind, to get in touch with my inner self and feelings, a process I actually began to enjoy even as I continue to write. Struggling to find the right word to convey my thoughts helps me refine my expression and actually brings a certain level of joy. I greatly hope you will be able to share this same joy, enjoy reading my articles and perhaps even identify with some of what I write. Do let me know if you identify with my writings and if we share some common viewpoints and what topics interest you.

I plan to write on a more regular timetable but currently post when I find time to write. Thank you for being on this journey with me!
