I've been remiss. Of course I knew that Tuesday was Malaysia's 47th Merdeka Day, or Independence Day ('Merdeka' meaning 'freedom' or 'independence' in Malay), but I didn't blog coz my parents were around for the long weekend. Dad took Monday...
I've been busy. Among other things, I went dating with this weird but still good-lookin' fellow on Saturday night. Okay, okay, I confess, he's my brother, and no, there's nothing incestuous going on between us, okay?! :D (and in...
On Sunday afternoon, Ariel, Jotay and yours truly (pic: left to right) earned our bragging rights. We became the first bloggers ever to cuddle the famous baby Jesse. I swear, probably about half of the Malaysian blogosphere has been...
I recently saw Puteri Gunung Ledang (The Princess of Mount Ophir), a locally-produced movie with the much-touted budget of $15 million*. It's the most expensive movie ever made in Malaysia, based on the local legend of -- surprise, surprise --...
Popular Bookstore has opened in 1Utama Shopping Centre! In the old wing, above Marks & Spencers. I don't know whether to rejoice, or feel chagrined... Bookshops are my especial weakness; I almost never walk out of a bookshop without buying...
My credit card company called me today and told me I've been blacklisted till I make full payment. Only 26 and have already busted my credit rating. It's like having reality crashing down on my head, destroying the nice little...
I have the bestest housemates. I went home after work yesterday and Adeline asked if I was okay, coz I'd already sent her text messages about the situation. We went to her room and she held me while I cried...
Raising Helen is only the second movie to make me cry (the first was Dead Poets Society). It gave form to one of my oldest, deepest fears: that I'll never find a man who will love & accept me as...
Word has it that someone (or several someones) is going around Yahoo! Messenger telling people to vote for Andrew Tan (pic) in the Malaysian Idol contest because he is a pastor's son. Further research has revealed that Andrew is...
Last night I donned pink for a pink-themed party and hopped into my little car, essaying out into the unknown. I'd never been to my friend's place before and the area was totally unfamiliar to me. I got to the...
I don't believe in falling in love. I never have. Funny, isn't it, coming from a hopeless romantic (or, as Yvonne would put it, "hopeful romantic")? But I don't believe in falling in love. I do believe that love can...
All of a sudden I can't write, and what's more I don't WANT to write, which in my line of work is akin to suicide. I'm missing deadlines, I'm broke, I'm apathetic, and I want to kill someone. Gaaaah. And...
And now I am getting deluges of comment spam. Grrr. Why are the updates to my MT Blacklist (an application to block spam comments based on keywords or known spam URLs) not working?? I really must set aside time this...
Today I am listening to Diana Ross, one of my favourite albums. I've also decided to forget about "writing properly" -- at least on this blog -- because when I try to "write properly" all my writing comes out sounding...
Talk about the wonders of technology. There I am in the office washroom, minding my own business, when my mobile phone rings. Do I answer it? Most of the time I do, although the hollow echo-ey sound can be a...
I've finally figured out why God gave us two eyes. It's coz we need both of them!! (Like, duh...) See, last night when I went to sleep I put my glasses next to my mattress as usual, like countless other...
I took emergency leave yesterday to get my glasses done. After work on Tuesday I got to an optometrist and asked if he could straighten out the frame for me. "I can try, but no guarantees against breaking," he said....
