Passage from A Bright Cold Day:

To be posted...

About me: Hi, my name is Alice. I’m a Malaysian-Swedish polyglot and book blogger living in Huskvarna, Sweden. I moved to Sweden from Singapore with my (Singaporean) cat, Mister Pops, in August 2021.

I’m semi-retired, and when I’m not working, I read, sketch, indulge in photography, and experiment with foreign languages. I speak English, Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and some Italian. My Swedish is steadily improving. I’m also the founder of Huskvarnas Kattvakt.

Listening to vinyl on my 1980s Mitsubishi DP-200 is one of my favourite pastimes. My small but cherished collection includes a standout favourite: the In The Mood For Love Soundtrack (花樣年華). In December 2023, I added a 1930s HMV 102 gramophone to the mix, and in early 2025, I picked up a secondhand 2015 Crosley Cruiser portable turntable.

About the blog: My virtual home, which started as aliceteh.com in 2005, has evolved into alicetehlarsson.se. It is now more than 20 years old! I created it to share my love for books, art, music, beautiful sentences, and creative musings. At times, I write in British English and at times, American English.
