chasing bawa

is back again. Sorry for being lax, what with work and life getting in the way. Check out my list of Thai sweets I sampled on my trip to Bangkok earlier this year. Feels like such a long time ago. I wanna go back NOW. Go on, have a gander at Umamimart: Slightly Peckish.

In bookish news, although I’ve been spacing out my book posts, that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped reading. Sometimes life gets in the way. Or tv. Especially Japanese drama and varieties on the net. I can’t help it, I’m addicted.

I’ve been catching up on Bleach the anime and am up to season five. Love both the manga and anime although there is an anime-only story arc which is pretty interesting.

I have a lot of reading to catch up on, I’m talking about the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness which my friend has lent me. Plus I want to read Embassytown by China Miéville, Snuff by Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fforde’s One of the Thursdays is Missing, all of which I should have read last year. I was saving them for a rainy day and here we’ve had the wettest April in god knows how long and I haven’t had the energy to start something I know I will love. Good thing we’re done with April.

And finally, my new baby niece who is adorable and SO cute is growing quickly and beginning to resemble one of those little wild boar piglets that Obelix is so fond of. She’s giving her mum and dad sleepless nights, but she always brings a smile to my face no matter how shitty my day has been. Viva lovely little A.
