Face it, the hubby and I are bloody meat lovers. I don’t think I can ever go through any of those detox diet or even go vegetarian. Had tried briefly during school days but failed miserably. I love meat too much. With the … Continue reading

Geneva 8-11 April 2013

Am back from a conference in Geneva! Had touched down yesterday. While I had adjusted pretty fast in Geneva, given the 6-hour time difference, it wasn’t quite the same when I am back home. I think the long-haul travelling plus … Continue reading
