Fernweh 2016 - Part 1

"Love appears and says : "You think you're heading towards a specific point, but the whole justification for the goal's existence lies in your love for it. Rest a little, but as soon as you can, get up and carry on. Because ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you..." ~ Paul Coelho

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Hello readers.

Things have been so hectic I have not been able to update.

I have been away on some local trips but have not been able to update you guys on it.

Will do that soon.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to my next fernweh trip.

Can anyone guess where this is?

Soon.

Updates soon.

Have a good rest of the week.

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.

AraCare #bethechange Is Coming Soon!

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world" ~ Mahatma Gandhi

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful 

I am excited to annouce that AraCare, a family run charitable organisation is the process of being born.

That is a typical day for Airiel's atok. 

The items in the orange packs you see are bought by the family, packed by the family to be given out to people that need it.

He has been doing this his entire life, and the rest of us have decided to follow in his footsteps.

 

It was then the idea for AraCare was conceived.

 

Stay tuned on the updates! In the meantime, lets #bethechange!

 

Much love from Airiel and I.

 

Peace and love to everyone,

Ekkamai - Solaris Dutamas

Where are all my updates?

Things have been crazy hectic. And my updates are all somewhere in my phone, head and mind.

Things are always changing in the food scene in Publika/Solaris Dutamas. A new Thai restaurant has taken over the Spanish place, Estillo which was now closed down. NIN and I came across it and decided to pay a visit.

 Ekkamai has been open for about 3 months now said its friendly waiter. It offers lovely lunch sets which are reasonably priced for Publika/Solaris Dutamas' standards (believe me, food prices in this area are ridiculously expensive).

I found the lunch sets a wholesome package. A refreshing pandan drink with a main course and lovely kuih muih are also included. They put out complimentary condiments on the table (cilipadi, chilli flakes, salt, fish sauce) so you don't have to keep on asking for it from the waiter and thats a big plus to me. The stuffed tofu you see below was ordered separately. Deep friend and absolutely delicious.

Do give it a try if you are in the area. It is a good alternative to Thai Cup and Tuk Tuk, also Thai eateries in the area.

Plenty more updates soon. 

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.
