“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. " Roland Barthes

On this day, Twenty years ago, in @heathrow_airport arriving on an morning flight from #Venice and about to check into a noon flight back to KL, I heard she died. I told my partner at that time, I am not going back to #malaysia. Her death #diana20 somehow gave me the #permission to live and make some #choices I didn't realise till then I could. Today is also the #independenceday of #malaysia60 and for me this is symbolic. True independence is about #makingchoices and the #freedomtobe #thegoddesslife #ilovemylife (at London Borough of Hackney)

One of the #bestthings you can do #foryourself #everymorning is #makingyourbed. I don't make mine the moment I get out of bed because I am allergic to #dustmites. I do other things and make it just before I shower #morningritual #casamangolisa #london (at London Borough of Hackney)

Because I #cookathome a lot, I rarely eat #malaysianfood when I go out but this #seabass at #rasasayang #chinatownlondon was a great dish. This was a few weeks back and I am still thinking about it #malaysianfood #london #eatingout #totastemaker (at Rasa Sayang)

[mangolisa]

You can get proper #delicious #malaysianstreetfoodstyle #sotongbakar #grilledsquid in #chinatownlondon #rasasayang. The dipping sauce should be improved as a proper #sambal or air Asam work better but the squid was perfect #eatingout #london #totastemaker (at Rasa Sayang)
