How did you choose your domain name? For me, it was very straight forward. My first blog was hosted by wordpress and the domain was clonic.wordpress.com because it chronicles the lives of CLONIC i.e. CL & Nic. I titled the blog, Notes From My Heart.
When I decided to move out of wordpress, I chose the [...]

Heya peeeple, how are you right now? I just came back from a time-wasting appointment. I was called out for some work but after hanging around for two hours, discovered that the person I was supposed to meet had not been informed of the date! Fa-lala-lala. It was all the way in the west too. [...]

When I was a student, I spent some time in the National Gallery of Victoria in St Kilda Road. Not that I am any art connoisseur. It was simply part of our History & Culture class.
One painting that I remember well was The Banquet of Cleopatra painted by Giambattista Tiepolo.
It showed the queen holding a [...]

If you’ve read Sheylara’s blog before, you’ll know that the best foods is always found at secret locations.
In Malaysia, you can expect to travel through dark alleys and winding roads before stumbling upon a humble stall that neither bears signage nor bright lights to indicate that it is anything else but a family home.
But recently, [...]

I was determined to bring back an elephant from Chiang Mai but Tiger Airways limited my check-in luggage to 15kg. Was it because the tiger fears my elephant?
I did still go on a spree though. My favouritest goodies from the trip:
1. ORGANIC OLIVE OIL HYDRATING FACIAL CLEANSER by http://mythproducts.com.
99% plant derived ingredients, 100% parabens (preservative) [...]

I took a long time to think of a new name for myself. I wanted a name that captures my Asian heritage, but I didn’t want it to be too Asian that westerners will never be able to pronounce it right.
After a long time of thinking it through, this is what I came up with. [...]

A friend of mine is having a small wedding so that they could buy a big house. What a grand idea!
I would be more than happy to have a simple wedding too if it means I could buy a couple of miami beach condos in exchange, !
Just kidding of course. The truth [...]

Well, enough about the hotel. Let’s talk about the yummilicious food!
Almost every day that we were in Chiang Mai, we will enjoy one meal of pork rice, shared between the two of us.
This was from a stall in the Tops Market Place food court which is right next to where we live. Admittedly, it [...]

When I have finally found my way to the hotel room, I jumped onto the bed, then jumped up again. I wanted to pull open the thick curtains to reveal the calming green view of the Chiang Mai hills, where elephants roam freely and hill-tribe girls jingle their necklaces.
Unfortunately, when the curtains were open wide, [...]

Sawadee Kah! We groggily left the house at 4:15am Sunday Morning after an hour of harried packing. Not that we’re complaining, haha.
The next day, over lunch, we met a young girl, fresh out of school, who travelled here from another country. She had to take a boat, followed by a car, followed by a small [...]
