So ... the US House just overwhelmingly voted to ban TikTok. Will now TikTok be sold or closed?

The best way to start this day.

While I watch global events unfold such ae the US State Of The Union 2024 address, Ivo is totally contented with his own world made of #PeppaPig and #Chocolate

The coming years do worry me, but I still have hopes that baby Ivo will grow up in a world more peaceful than it is now. It's on us grown-ups to take the right decisions and have the right priorities in life.

Back to Shanghai after four great days in Vietnam. Our old and deaf cat Neve missed baby Ivo's company .

Join us for an afternoon adventure in Shanghai! Invited to venison sliders at Rooster Bar by a parents group colleague. After fitness classes, Daddy and baby Ivo will walk 20 mins to the bar. Meet friends, have a blast, and see how sociable Ivo is! Will he like the venison buns?

Ivo's adventures - a stroll in the Shanghai neighborhood

#ExpatAsia #Shanghai #Economy

From Shanghai SHINE:
"According to the Shanghai Bureau of Statistics and the Shanghai Survey Organization of the National Bureau of Statistics, the city achieved a regional GDP of 3.302 trillion yuan (US$451.278 billion) for the period from January to September. This represented a year-on-year growth of 6 percent at comparable prices."

One main difference I notice from 5 years ago is the amount of foreign talents working in this city, which is now remarkably low.

We are back to Shanghai and back tooting!

Our Family pic from the Dubai Photoshooting before flying back.

While we were in Mui Ne we went to Fairy Stream so I could get sunburnt, which is something I usually do when we go somewhere #vietnam #muine #beach #travel #expatasia #chinaexpat

Having a staycation at this lovely boutique luxury hotel

It was an old building that they converter to a hotel.

New on the blog, in case you need some late-Saturday night read (and a quick escape from the gloomy weather in this part of the world).

Wrote about this quaint resort years ago for Spot.ph, but here's a more personal take.

The funny thing about Malaysians is that we are so used to thinking our country sucks that when folks say otherwise we think they have an ulterior motive and are trying to butter us up

I've lived a couple of years abroad and have travelled extensively. I have come to realise every country has its problems. We in Malaysia, for one, take for granted our relative peace from conflict and natural disasters.

And no guns is also great

#MakanApaToday

Good morning from me and my Payless Pancit Canton Calamansi!!! Added wansoy, shiitake mushrooms sauteed in sesame oil, hard boiled egg, crunchy garlic, and fried shallots.

Finally going home to meet grandparents after 4 years .... we are ready to fly!

#MakanApaToday A little experiment: Penang Kopi-O but Kori Kohi style! The coffee drip bag contains beans, sugar, butter, and salt. Made into large ice cubes overnight then slowly melted in a mixture of milk, sugar, and water. #TootSEA #ExpatAsia
