I hate smug, post-holiday write ups so I promise the premise of this is not to bang on about my recent-ish skiing holiday. In truth, there is not much to show off about: I haven’t skiied for almost a decade and the style of skis that I was once really rather good on in my teenage years are now no longer (it’s all about carver skis these days).
But that wasn’t enough to stop me trying to wear some vaguely good gear that would at least make me look the part. Here’s where it went wrong:
If you are trying to come up with a clever business idea, I’m both pleased and sorry to say that another one has just got away from you. Pleased because the rather brilliantly named Geek Team really does fill a gap in the market. As their name more or less implies, they are a mobile IT helpdesk who know all there is to know about computers. They bring the unofficial ‘Apple genius bar’ to you and your unwieldy desktop, or laptop too for that matter (they are also equally competent with non-Apple products I am told).
This is the first post in a new ‘Day in the Life’ series that I am hoping to be organised enough to publish on Changmoh about once a month. Each one will feature an insight in to the daily life of someone interesting. Katie is a great person to be kicking off this new concept for Changmoh – she’s not only a Scottish lass like me, but lives in – and loves – Asia (and in the interests of full disclosure, we have known each other since we were small). Her Weave necklace collection is my favourite of all her designs, with its shakable loose gemstones contained within a woven ‘egg’ and designed to your specifications.
In a fit of exuberance, I went to the wet market at Tiong Bahru this Saturday morning and bought a whole salmon (above) to bake for a lunch party that very same day.
Mistake #1: not checking whether or not all my guests ate salmon (one didn’t).
Mistake #2: not ordering my salmon in advance, as the few stall holders that did sell them whole, generally had nothing smaller than a 6kg fish. In the end – as for some reason I was not prepared to deviate from my plan to cook a whole one – I settled for one weighing in at 4kg which was the smallest I could find.
I have a real issue with anyone who uses apostrophes in place of letters; Fruit ‘n’ Fibre, Bloglovin’ to name just a few culprits. But I have had to get over myself because Bloglovin’ is such a good way to follow – and find – blogs that interest you.
