About Me
Selamat datang! Welcome to my site. My name is Mimi. I'm a Filipina married to a Malaysian. Kuala Lumpur -- or KL, as the locals call it -- has been my home since 1993.
In addition to juggling a full-time job and motherhood (I'm 'Mama' to 5 children, the youngest of whom are identical twins), I'm also a photography enthusiast, incidental world traveler, self-confessed gadget geek, and aspiring linguist (7 languages, at last count).
I love it when readers (that's you!) leave lots of comments but if you prefer to email me instead, you can do so at mimi[at]sleeplessinkl[dot]com.
