Choleric with spontaneous shopaholic tendencies with the most understanding partner who spoils me rotten. A a lover of classical,rock,folk and jazz music.
It started after the honeymoon with a love so bright you could have mistook it for the brightest noon One message, two messages then three into a game of conversations but they were not with me Discovering led to a polyandry of connundrums and confusions of interstellar proportions You apologised and told me you would … More Separated-Part One
I’m a feminist in the Emma Watson speech sense; needless to say, it wasn’t her speech that changed my initial perspective to the movement….it shifted after a night of wine,classical music and a rant with an ex who’s a friend but enough of that. Sure, in the NRM 90’s when anyone who worked in an … More The C-Word: A Ugandan Feminism Paradox
Occassionally, I have been writing…just not writing on things I don’t lose in a few days as I clean out my car because of the clutter of shoes vs. books for purposes of boredom at funerals. A little mean, yes but to be honest…If whoever is in the box is someone I was not particularly … More Let’s All Be Civil
President Museveni not too long ago (not too long ago being Saturday 02-02-13) said that because the NRM government has been in power for a long period and has done so many things, people are forgetting its earlier big achievements and concentrating on minor ones and accusing it of failure. I, for one am one … More Open Letter To The President
The Trash & Treasure sale hosted by Lotus Mexicana,New York Kitchen and personal friend of mine,Lindsey Kukunda can only be summed up as something that should happen every month. The day was sunny,colourful,vibrant and quite easy on the pocket if I say so myself.To be fair, I didn’t expect the turn out to be grandeur … More Trash & Many Treasures
The Mayans were wrong and right. The world didn’t end but the intelligence of the human race did when gangnam hit 1 billion views (sadly, i contributed to 1…..cmon,I had to see what the fuss was about). 2012 for the most part was very angsty on a personal level but there were several changes to … More Flying in to 2013
Putting aside the controversy that the Summer games has brought, a thought popped into the head of a friend of mine. The Olympics is filled with sports of bias…sports that Africans have for centuries tried to master but always fall terribly short or perhaps do not have conducive weather to compete. We ski and bob … More TROLYMPICS
Leaving Malaysia in 2011, I was elated to have made it through skin, bones and mind intact. While I survived by creating a cocoon of safety from everything that was wrong with Malaysian society, I was filled to the brim with anxiety and worry for my sister whom I had left behind. Knowing that she … More The Malaysia I know
Screw me over once,shame on you. Screw me over a month later after a second chance at redemption,Bob would have choked on his own lyrics. This not not so funny pun of an establishment called The Pavement at Kisementi has tickled the wrong bone. Since I have been sitting on this review for over two … More Truly a pavement
When I left Uganda, four years ago, it was fair to call us a closed off country with little to no changes every year. But 2012 seems like the year of the face lift for Kampala and Uganda in general…with a large population of foreigners living and working among us. Businesses similarly have given themselves … More Kisementi’s New Entrant
