Reading women's magazines usually makes me depressed, and not just because of the air-brushed models and the zillion beauty tips that make you suddenly feel totally un-beautiful. It's because of all the sex. Has anybody ever noticed that every issue...
You know, you'd think all the stuff you've written gets buried in obscurity under the newer stuff, but Google does a pretty good job of keeping it alive. I recently got a new comment on an old post I wrote...
I always intended this to be a "proper site", not just a blog. But I've been so busy I haven't had time to restore and rebuild the pages I lost when my free site went down a year ago. However,...
The alarm rang, jarring the stillness of the morning. A hand emerged from under the blankets, rummaging around for the source of the annoying noise. Opening one eye, she squinted at the blue screen of her Nokia 8250, noting the...
V. bad morning. Could not get up from bed. Think sleeping at 5am had something to do with it. Was reading Bridget Jones's Diary. No similarity to my blog (despite what certain people say). Similarity only popping up now. Style...
Clarence asked me about Malaysian food. His question reminded me of something an American friend once said to me: "I never realised that you'd eat Chinese food all the time because you're Chinese!" LOL Growing up, the number one thing...
Hmmm. Paul has a question about my Christian experience. Snoflek and I were discussing this very question a few weeks ago. Both of us grew up in Christian families, started going to church services even before we were born, later...
Have you heard the story about the guy who called up Pizza Hut? They asked for his national ID number, and when he supplied it, they called up his "file", then recited his address to him. Next they discouraged him...
Nikkiana has nominated my blog for Best Malaysian Blog at the Asia Weblog Awards. And Howie has nominated me Best Essayist. Wow. Thanks guys :) In other news... Darren of Living Room is organising a secret santa thingamajig among bloggers....
There are days when I'm soooooooo grateful for Paul and Romans 7:18-19. Yes, that "I do what I don't want to do, and what I want to do I don't do" passage. Gaah! Last night I slipped very badly in...
Thank God for friends who tell me things I don't want to hear -- but need to hear nonetheless. This friend's words made me realise that if I don't want to continue going downhill, I have to do something. I...
I'm finding that you can't be passive when it comes to temptation and sin. These things always hit you when you're not looking. And if you are not actively resisting you're likely to be in it before you know it....
Every other blog I read is talking about Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Do you know that I haven't watched ANY of the LOTR movies? Nor the Matrix ones? Part of the reason is... I have...
Remember the MyKad? The smartcard in the scary story? Well, now we're going to start using it in lieu of passports: "The use of MyKad for Malaysians travelling to Brunei has already been agreed to and will start next month,"...
Having people attend a worship service as the primary way of doing church communicates that being a Christian is about passively attending to someone else’s ministry efforts. There has to be a pastor, who presents the information to be absorbed....
...not much, but it's a start :) You see, I have the habit of emptying all my coins out of my purse every two days or so, because they make the purse fat and give it an unsightly bulge. Oh,...
Despite it being the season of peace on earth and goodwill to all men, my car's radio and speakers have inexplicably quarreled and are now refusing to speak to each other. They are on the brink of divorce, citing irreconcilable...
Sometimes I have a hard time figuring people out. Quite a few US bloggers have written about the tendency to "de-Christianise" Christmas by saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". I can't understand that. What's the big deal with saying...
Note to self: in future, sleep early on Christmas Eve. Especially if you are scheduled to travel home the next morning and are not looking forward to it. Haven't you learnt yet that sleep deprivation and stress equal a melancholy...
Darn, I narrowly missed the chance to be a member of Dan's new club. I was weak and gave in to sweeping tide of the Lord of the Rings mania. Wait a minute, no, I didn't. People infected with the...
Sometimes I wonder about us Christians. We seem to have a need to yell, "I'm Christian! I'm Christian! Look at me!" But shouldn't that be evident in the way we live, the things we say, and how we treat others,...
For two years now I've made it a practice to prayerfully think over my life at the end of the year, and, instead of making a New Year's Resolution, I make a commitment to God concerning some aspect of my...
