Hello, you.
My name is Michelle; Alexandra Luella is the name of this blog.
I am an anti-counterfeiting lawyer who loves to write.
This blog was started after I graduated from university. It documents my life in London — my ‘London Journal‘ — the story of a wide-eyed child absorbing the city while chasing a legal career. It was during this time I also built ‘Places‘, where I archived the maps and memories of my travels back then, capturing the world as I found it. One of the highlights was my frequent trips to France, documented in “Frequently in France,” where I immersed myself in a third culture, fine-tuning my outlook and digging deep to understand what I truly wanted.
Now, in my mid-thirties, the scenery has changed. I am happily married, settled, and soon to be a mum. Life has pulled me back to Asia, and “Life in KL” is my restart.
Years ago, I spent my time translating Western living for my friends in the East; now, I hope to do the opposite. I want to show you the beauty, the nuance, and the magic of life on this side of the map.
Welcome to my blog—to the new friends and the ones who have stuck by me since the London days.
I hope you still enjoy reading this as much as I still enjoy writing it.
With love x
