Sweet-Sour-Spicy Heaven

Mar 15


Mom knows me well.

Hundreds of miles away in Australia, she thoughtfully sends me three packs of Thai Sampaloc balls.

She must have known how, like when I was her little girl, I'd gleefully pop each ball into my mouth, loving the tug-o-war between the tang, sweetness, saltiness and spice.

Thai deli carts sells Thai sampaloc in malls, but it's the thoughtfulness and the attendant memories of a happy childhood that makes the three packs of Thai sampaloc from Mom a little piece of heaven. :)

Why AnneThology?

Anthology means a collection of poems, short stories, plays, songs, or excerpts. My name is Anne, and this blog contains a collection of my thoughts, musings and writings (poems, short stories), some songs I like, plus a sprinkling of excerpts I find worth sharing --hence, AnneThology.

Did you know?

Anthology derives from the Greek word ἀνθολογία (anthologia; literally “flower-gathering”) for garland — or bouquet of flowers — which was the title of the earliest surviving anthology, assembled by Meleager of Gadara.

Look, what I have -- these are all for you.
