Oh Hello!

December 11, 2018ETC
0
Chin Swee Temple, Genting Highlands.

I’M HOME! Guys, I’m finally back in beautiful, gloriously cold England for Christmas and I couldn’t be more excited. I spent much of my 13-hour flight and the 3-hour bus journeys either side joyously brainstorming blog post ideas and shoot plans for my return, and after a morning and afternoon full of post-holiday admin, here we are.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been in Malaysia, Dad’s home country, for the past three weeks. It’s been a bit of a blur as the entire duration of our trip was packed with family gatherings and plenty of travel.

I’m planning to share a few travel guides (at last! Nearly 9 years of blogging and I’ve not yet blogged about Malaysia?! Not sure how that happened…) in due course, but to sum up, I had a great time. I cuddled my niece and nephew, watched my cousin marry his love, had a massage at my auntie’s wellness centre, listened eagerly to Dad tell stories about his childhood, visited temples galore, had several chinwags with my wonderful Granny, flew to Langkawi for the first time… And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! As I’ve visited Malaysia countless times already, I’d love to hear what YOU want to know about the country, should you want to visit. Drop me your suggestions below.

With just two weeks until Christmas, I’m yet to feel festive and there isn’t a single present wrapped or a decoration hung in the Chai household. The house is littered with suitcases and bags of duty-free shopping, but we’re pretty much hellbent on putting the tree up, belatedly, tonight. I’m also going to amp up the festive playlists on Spotify and whack Elf on: we’re going full steam ahead!!

Aside from that, I wanted to say a huge hello and thank you to new readers around here (I usually post much more often than this!), the wonderful readers who’ve already picked up a copy of my e-book, and to everyone who has followed my trip over on Instagram. I really wanted to post a little more whilst I was away but I ended up using all of my spare time adventuring with my cousins (how can all my baby cousins drive?!), eating roti canai, sweating profusely or asking my Granny endless questions about her life and Dad’s childhood. I’ll be back to normal blog proceedings tomorrow, see you then!

Instagram post 2193084553068073079_30616375 Central Perk vibes 😏✨ Had the best time with my brother and sister at FriendsFest yesterday! We spend all of our time watching the episodes on repeat (like any self-respecting millennial) and it was incredible to see the sets and goof around together for a few hours, dressed like Rachel Green with my Gucci bag (“it's spelled like Gucky, which can be confusing”). Except from when a seven-year-old PUSHED ME OVER by Joey's Barcalounger. Fun fact: I used that copy of Vogue in my dissertation! #FriendsFestive
Instagram post 2192254609316598078_30616375 I finished reading this over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The Flat Share is a chick lit with a twist; I really enjoyed the sub-plots and clever character building throughout, but for some reason didn't adore the book. Beady-eyed readers who also follow me on Goodreads will know I rated it three stars which seems harsh, but simply means I enjoyed the book but wouldn't recommend it to a general audience and I wouldn't reread it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you read this book yet? #DaisybutterReads
Instagram post 2191316238771439516_30616375 “We can go drivin' in, on my scooter... Uh, you know, just riding in London...” 🎶. L O N D O N · G I R L :: Absolutely thrilled to share this masterpiece shot by @sianshoots. The moment I heard @taylorswift 'London Boy', I knew I wanted to capture it all, dressed in my @stellamccartney × Taylor look. I'm not from London and nor do I live there; but some of the best chapters of my life began here. My first writing job, falling in love, spontaneously buying designer bags on Bond Street, cab rides with friends in a drunken mess, food tours with my girls, hours-long walks, all amidst a grey drizzly haze. It all happened, and happens, here. London, you're so special. P.S. I have categorically never watched rugby in a pub with his mates 😂 ph. @sianshoots
