I love Sydney!

I'm back from my 10-day working visit to Sydney. I've got to say that I've absolutely fallen in love with the city! It's a truly inspiring place. I'm really happy that I got to go with my husband as well, because he's great company and he's what I call the "human compass", so we never got lost!

A Close Eye

I admit it, as a parent, I'm pretty paranoid. Whenever we go out, for example, I get my son to recite the following rule - "Stick to mummy like glue". Well, I truly believe that we can never play it too safe when it comes to our children, which is why I wrote this article...

Sew-phisticated Beauty (Essenze Vol 14 - 09)

Check out the latest issue of Essenze magazine! They've made my article a cover story ;) This time, I've written something on the art of Malay embroidery.






I'll be leaving for Sydney in a few days, so excited!

It's official! The Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion will be out in May 2010! I wrote an essay entitled "Textile Traditions of Malaysia and Its Impact on Dress" for the South Asia and Southeast Asia volume back in 2006. It's been 3 years in the making! How exciting!
