No sex education please, we're Malaysians

Forget about sexual education in schools; now even articles and Q&A columns on sex are not allowed in the print media. This means virtually every women's magazine in Malaysia is screwed. In an article on page 8 of The Star...

Testing 123

Testing to see whether this posts, coz I've been trying to update my previous entry and the silly thing won't save & publish the changes. Grrrr. Of course, if it DOES post, I probably won't be able to change this...

Google down?

Is Google down? I cannot access its search page and all the Blogger blogs (Blogger is owned by Google) are also inaccessible. What on earth --? UPDATE: MSN appears to be down, too. No access to any of the MSN...

Mid-year evaluation

Hard to believe half a year has already passed... it feels like two years. I feel like this year has been going on forever, and can barely even remember what happened in the first half now. I don't know whether...

Blogging for charity

I was in my early teens when one of my uncles died from cancer. I don't remember much, except visiting his house and standing quietly in the hall whilst my parents went into the room where he lay on the...

Stupid (and corrupt) policemen

Am so geram (frustrated) today. Kena saman (was issued a summonses) on the way back from Puspakom, the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre. Remember I couldn't find my car registration card? I found a photocopy of it, and all the previous...

Are you crazy enough to buy a RM700 mattress?

I'm beginning to think that Murphy's Law was created especially for me. I need to go back to the Road Transport Department AGAIN early Monday morning. I don't even want to talk about it. *        *        *        *        * What I will talk about...

A musical entry

Murphy's Law is still operating at full strength where I'm concerned. My mattress is not arriving today after all. Waaah The King Koil lady said something about there being a problem with the lorry drivers :( *        *        *        *        * I said once...

My parents are THIS close to finding my blog

I spent much of the weekend in my uncle & aunt's place, coz my parents were in town. I ate so much durian I think I might need to diet for the next two weeks. (For the uninitiated, durian is...

Above & beyond the call of duty

My housemate Sharon & I have finally gotten Streamyx (broadband) to work at home. Oh, the fact that it took so long wasn't TMNet (the ISP)'s fault. Surprise, surprise ;) We applied with a Streamyx dealer, one of the shops...

Curiosity killed the cat

I used to walk past the fan blades (for stand fans & table fans) on sale in hypermarkets, and wonder: Who on earth would ever need to buy a fan blade? Guess what? I got the answer yesterday morning. ME,...

Off to the jungle I go

My boss is sending me to the jungle. Upon hearing this, my housemate Dion said, "Banished to the jungle? What did you do?!?" I did suggest to my boss, "Don't you want to send one of the guys for this?"...

The jungle experience

Ever since I came back from the jungle, friends have been asking me how I found the experience. I find it really hard to answer this, because, well, a trip is a trip lah. Mostly okay with some interesting experiences,...

Somebody write me an email!

I went away for six days and when I got back I had exactly four personal emails waiting for me. That is, out of the eight active email accounts I have. The rest of the stuff were subscriptions from mailing...

The things I don't talk about

I am struggling with my faith. Not the believing side of it, but the practical implications of it. The doing side of it. How it is supposed to work. What all that believing is supposed to mean. Whether I can...

Email address now crucial to spouse screening process

*ahem* So I called my aunt and she said she had heard from my other aunt in Australia, the one who's trying to match me up with that Australian psychiatrist. The story goes that my aunt in Australia met up...

Don't know where it'll end

I can't write anything at the moment, except this; and just so you know, I might not write anything else here for awhile: There is something in my life which is not good for me but which I do not...

Was ever there a heart like mine

I wrote this in 1998 but the sentiments are still relevant now. Yes, it's been a looooooooooonnng struggle. I hope the optimistic note at the end will prove to be "prophetic"...  Was ever there a heart like mine Pledged wholly...

Guilt-ridden all the time

It's terrible how guilt can so easily creep in and poison one's life. I realised this afternoon that I feel guilty just buying a pair of earrings, even if they cost a mere RM5, because I already have so many...

A fighting chance

Okay, okay. I am not by any means ready to give up my faith yet. I think I spooked some people by saying "I'm tired of living like this", but I only meant I'm fed-up with living under a cloud...
