Journey to the Perfect Chair

Oh, the woes of back pain – a familiar tale for many of us who've spent endless hours glued to our chairs, especially during the work-from-home era. The past few months have been a comedic saga of attempting yoga poses that made me look more like a pretzel and indulging in massages that left me questioning my life choices. Little did I know, my trusty old chair was the real culprit!

Cue the drama: my chair, a relic from the pandemic panic-buying spree of 2020, had been my steadfast companion through thick and thin. It had served as both my throne and my wife's pregnancy support chair. Ah, the memories – but my aching back begged for an upgrade.

Ipoh Chronicles: Of Temples, Tummies, and Tantrums

Hey there, fellow wanderers! Last week, I embarked on a short escapade to the quaint town of Ipoh, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster of laughter, food comas, and unexpected adventures. If you've been keeping up with my Instagram shenanigans, you'd already know that Ipoh is the place to be for all things exciting and belly-satisfying.

Our journey kicked off with a spiritual detour to the Pachaiamman Temple in Taiping. Picture this: a colossal Amman statue and everything in shades of green, even the vibuthi (sacred ash). It was so green; I half expected to see the Hulk performing aarti in the corner.

"Nandri solla unakku," I whispered to the temple, thanking it for the quirky start to our trip.
