Off we went again to see Shagie’s at Balaclava, Ion. Clearly an absolute favourite of DK’s and Claire’s – well in fact of any one that goes to see them. Previous night they had sung for DK & Claire “I just wanna marry you”. Very apt, if you have read the previous blog. This wasRead More

[zilla_likes]

I’ll start this with the “why” again.  Why every year do we go back to help the people of Cambodia? Why do we every year visit the memories of the atrocities of Cambodia in S21 and Killing Fields? “Why?” Here is one paragraph of a poem written by a local, that I think just sumsRead More

Yes readers, Ollie did it. He is Eton House School Captain. Truly amazing.I hope the video will upload as it is quite chunky.

Nina Kennett

She calls our name and we come running, We have lost the voice we listened to, And there's a stillness now the rains stopped falling, And there's a sadness like we never knew, But we still see the shining of things. We love and miss you desperately Ni.

About Brian

I have worked in Telecommunications pretty much all my life, with good fortune to have worked literally across the world with amazing colleagues and clients from Sao Paulo, to Chicago, to LA, to UK, Europe and most recently to South East Asia and Australia.

I love to cook and to write and again for many years now have been writing a food blog, constantly morphing. I have also written a cook book for charitable reasons. I now also write a column for EXMag.sg a men's magazine with a focus on food - recipes and reviews. I do this under the tag-name of Semi-Naked Chef.

I am very focused at charitable work and CSR - having visited Cambodia 6 years running now to build houses on stilts for the less fortunate people there.

I have 3 kids - 2 half-Japanese and 1 half-Filipino.
