Craving and Cooking
Cravings are usually associated with pregnancy. However, throughout my three pregnancies, I never really had any strong cravings. The cravings that I have is more due to living far away from my homeland. Malaysia is a blessed country where food is abundance. Whenever I feel like eating certain kind of food, I didn’t have to […]

Still Too Cold
The daffodils in my garden have bloomed. It seemed sunny outside so I thought of enjoying my lunch in the garden. However, it turned out to be still too cold. I had to bring the food inside and just ate in the living room because the dining table is too far from the window. I […]

Sunday Morning Delivery
Spring equinox is approaching and each day sunrise is getting earlier and earlier. Japan doesn’t have Day Light Saving clock adjustment, so this will go on continuously until we reach summer solstice. For those Muslims living in the tropical countries, prayer times do not vary much throughout the year. The most is probably 30 minutes […]
