A year has almost gone by since our move to Billings, MT. Although a calculated move, it was hard to move away from Stillwater, OK. Having lived there for seven years, everything and everyone is familiar. The thought of moving to a new state is foreign to me although that was my thought seven years ago. Anyway, things have calmed down since our great move; there are still boxes packed up in the garage but I am not unpacking those. I am hoping that our next move will be more permanent aka our own house. :) Currently our apartment is a safe haven for us and with a bigger kitchen Ned and I can actually be in the kitchen together.
There are many things I miss in OK; namely the ethnic restaurants and the Asian supermarkets. Although a nice city, Billings does not have an Asian supermarket nor does it have many choices of ethnic food as well. Ned has promised me trips to Denver and we are going to try and make our way down there sometime within the next few weeks. I can't wait for that trip so I can actually buy all the spices and sauces I need to cook....
Since this is my first attempt at blogging, I hope I can actually find more interesting thing to post as oppose to daily mundane routine. Anyway I came across this site while I was searching for recipes and came across a few bloggers who are from Southeast Asia as well. That kinda makes my day today. Knowing that there are people who share similar interests and food habits like me within this region makes me feel a lot more comforted. Perhaps I can even ask these wonderful individuals for suggestions when I do make my trip to Denver. Wow.... the more I think about it, the more I think they are a wonderful addition to my life. Who would have thought that me searching for recipes would have connected me to these ladies...
Anyway, I might be ahead of myself as I have only contacted them earlier to say hi. I hope I hear from them. Gonna keep my fingers crossed. Anywho I did get some awesome recipes from their sites and I will definitely continue visiting their site. In the meantime, I am keeping my fingers crossed and reminiscing about how time flies...
Time flies by when you are enjoying yourself or not... :) But focus on the bright side as it sure beats being dark and gloomy.

Hi Soo Ping,
Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. Thanks for visiting my site. When I first started, I was the same as you. I never thought anyone would read the stuff that I write. Well, I'm not a great cook or baker, but I have learnt lots from all the wonderful cooks out there, who make even the most difficult thing look so easy. It spurred me on to try them and kind of boosts the confidence a little when the recipes you try turn out nice. In my links, there are lots of Asians, namely Singaporeans and Malaysians living in US and all over the world. Who knows, you might even get to meet them in person in your part of the world. I have met a couple of them in the past couple of months, all met through blogging. It is an amazing world out here but it can be scary too, as you do not know who you will meet. But still, enjoy your stay here and do come by to visit whenever you are free.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Just wandering where are you at currently and if possible, could I have your email address as well so I can actually email you. ;)
