We started our day by visiting the tribal people - Karens. These are those famous long-necked women that depress their collar bones for beauty. The thing that interested me more during our visit was their use of local engineering and technology.

My sister dragged her whole family out shopping at The Gardens today. Seeing that I have never actually shopped around there before, I decided to tag along.

Most of my Malaysian friends have been waiting for it to snow because they have never seen it snow before. Many were disappointed when the promised snow did not come yesterday. But their wishes have been granted today, on Easter Sunday.
I woke up this morning to see a nice blanket of snow covering everything in sight. I contemplated what to do with the snow. Every year that I've ...
