The Book Bet : Mission Accomplished!

Sometime around late April I posted that Belacan Girl and I had something called ‘The Book Bet‘. (Click here for a recap) Guess what? I finally completed the first manuscript of my next book. Yay! So, with much anticipation, I finally ripped open the Alex Ferguson book. Guess this week I’ll be engrossed inside Fergie’s…

Poem for Belacan Girl

It’s that time of the year. When we make sweet diabetic wishes. Profess our love to one another. And later go out for something delicious Every year gets better and better. We crashed and we burned, but we got up. We were beaten silly, but we fought back. One year closer, One year better. Can’t…

The Challenge of Childless Couples

Usually it’s women who like to talk about pregnancy. Today, I would like to talk about trying to conceive from a husband’s perspective. If you’re a loyal BGCB follower, you would have noticed that we have never posted pictures of our children. The reason is we have not been blessed with any…. yet. We are…

We’re on Instagram!

Okay, okay. We admit we’re a bit too busy with work lately and have been neglecting to update. Guess what? We made an Instagram account so that we can update on the fly! (Self high-five!) Just click here to follow! -> ‘belacangirlcheeseboy‘ <- Just click here to follow!  

Maleficent : Review

It’s nice of Belacan Girl to treat her hubby for a movie night out. And the movie she chose was Maleficent… a movie we have been looking forward to for a few years now. (Beanie seats too! Yay!) SPOILER ALERT! This is an Angelina Jolie movie. So you have to be ready for that. AJ…

The Fancy Breakfast Club

Belacan Girl buzzed me about this new establishment in Bangsar. And then another foodie friend buzzed about it in our WhatsApp group. (Funny how word of mouth starts.) Honestly, I didn’t have a clue about the Fancy Breakfast Club. It was a hectic few weeks for me, so I didn’t have time to Google them.…

Yuna & Shila Amzah

Yuna. Shila Amzah. I rarely pay attention to local singers, but these two singers are not local anymore. They have become international stars, which is rare for Malaysia. Years ago, we’ve heard of Yuna but I wasn’t very impressed with her music. I felt that she ripped off Norah Jones, and it’s just because our…

Kampung Ku

What does ‘kampung’ mean to you? I have a problem when it comes to kampung. People normally regard kampung as the place where they were born and where they grew up. Other people regard their kampung as to where their parents are currently living (or have lived). I was born in Melbourne and I grew…

Let It Go

I’m not a fan of the mega-boxoffice hit “Frozen” (too girlie for my taste), but it did produce the excellent Oscar winning song “Let It Go.” (Ha! Caught you humming that ‘let it go, let it go’ chorus) I’ve always said to BelacanGirl that songs that have powerful melodies can go cross culture, and sound…

Apple iWatch

I’m an Apple fan. But they haven’t released anything new in a million years. (What’s wrong with you guys? Steve dies and you can’t think up cool things anymore? Come on, Sir Jonny! You can do better!) Finally there’s some great news! Today, Mashable, CNBC, and lots of other tech portals are saying that the “iWatch”…
