Sorry for the loooooooooooooooooooong absence.

My site was and is still going under a makeover. You know lah. People who reach my age have to go through a mental and physical makeover …

Otherwise, it’s been business as usual.

Assignments.

Started working on a food blog.

Caved in to instagram (at last).

… and I won two writing awards at the Magazine Publishers Association Malaysia 2012 awards ceremony :D:D:D

The first one is for the saucily-titled “Will Playing a High-Class Call Girl Save Your Marriage?” published in the Malaysian Women’s Weekly and Singapore Women’s Weekly last year:

The second is for a travel story published in Quill.

It was such a surprise that I actually won anything because this story was completely unplanned. I didn’t go on an assignment or whatever – Mysore was one of the three cities I visited during my nine-day journey through India in 2009.

But once I started digging my brains and all the memories came flooding back, the words flowed effortlessly 🙂
