Hi there, I’m Jun

Affectionately known as Junniepie, the PuzzlePieMaker.

Nah, I’m not really into baking. But I do like pies and I absolutely ❤️ love jigsaw puzzles.

First of all, thank you so much for visiting my site!

Jigsaw puzzling has always been a keen hobby of mine since childhood. But as an adult – with the hustle and bustle of city life – if not busy working, I’d spend most of my free time socialising, travelling, partying, going to the theatre, festivals, concerts or museums, and exploring new places to eat.

Then at the start of the pandemic, unable to indulge in my usual activities, I decided to dust off my old favourite past-time and got a lot of respite from it. I was spending an exceptional amount of time (and money!) on jigsaw puzzles, and then I thought – hey, why not jump on the blogging bandwagon and share my passion for puzzles with the world?

I was born in Kuala Lumpur and have lived in Auckland, Melbourne, and Shanghai. I am currently residing in Amsterdam with my better half, Johnniepie, in our cozy Piehouse, brimming with puzzles and board games. I associate with being an introvert but when I tell people that, they don’t believe it. I should probably clarify that I am a social introvert. I have no problem meeting people and wouldn’t exactly call myself shy. But I really value time alone to recharge my energy – that’s why I love jigsaw puzzling so much. (read this post for all the reasons why I love puzzling). I love other forms of puzzling too: word puzzles, trivia, riddles, codes, escape rooms.

I hope you find the tips and information on my site useful and fun! As a blogging newbie, please bear with me as I gradually add more content. Follow me on Instagram to see some of the puzzles I’ve done. And if you have any suggestions for puzzle-related topics you’d like to see more of, I’d love to hear from you!

Let’s spread the wholesome goodness of puzzles throughout the world!
