No need diamond lah, I not that demanding.

I was kidding around with twwt2001, hinting to him that my birthday is sometime this month, when he asked me to put up a wish list. So I asked YP: "Do you think it would be too muka tembok (thick-skinned)...

Food is getting to be a serious problem. My office is located in an area with an abundance of restaurants and cafés, but considering that: The shop where I normally eat chap fan (rice with dishes) has been temporarily closed...

How convoluted can you get?

I am having an identity crisis. Well, sort of. Zewt was asking whether he should identify himself as Zewt at blogger gatherings, or introduce himself using his real name. Those of you who have been around long enough will know...

Blog under the microscope

I've been browsing a lot of Malaysian blogs lately, and you know what I discovered? Most blogs have lots and lots and LOTS of pictures. Many blogs are doing sponsored posts, Pay Per Post and other money-making stuff. Suddenly I...

Do they have nothing better to do?

Have you heard the latest? It's now a crime to decorate a cake with the design of the country's flag. Why? Because you end up cutting the cake, eating it, digesting it, and then expelling it. How dare you desecrate...

You're in my space, dude

Every day I get flyers and brochures in my postbox, which I glance at uninterestedly and then consign to the rubbish bin. Every day I get spam in my email inbox, which makes me grumble and wish all inconsiderate spammers...

Impotently angry

Does anybody else want to know why we spent RM108mil building a low-cost carrier terminal that was "never meant to be a permanent terminal from day one"? Because I do. Because, even though I'm currently not within the taxable income...

Virtual reality

Is this man cheating on his wife? [Hat tip: Karen]Ric Hoogestraat and Janet Spielman's Second Life avatars married in May 2007. The real Mrs Hoogestraat is not amused: since February, her husband has been glued to the computer for 6...

Every day I'm amazed anew

I finally, finally listened to the Negaraku music video that everybody has been talking about, and then I discovered I can't understand it, because he sang so fast and I don't read Chinese! The Internet always has the answer. I...

Is this where I run out of the room, screaming?

I wonder whether there is a course on "How To Deal With Difficult People". Or maybe, "How To Deal With Psycho People". People who are paranoid and think everyone is out to get them. People who blame everything on others....

Housemate wanted... again

Yes, Meera is moving out. Here's the deal. We need someone -- a female someone -- to move in at the end of September. We've got all the amenities, including a fridge and washing machine (no TV though). The vacancy...

Sometimes I think there is NO HOPE

I had a lovely birthday. But today I opened the newspaper and got pissed off. "Tunku ensured Malay predominance," screamed the headline. After 50 years of independence (okay, maybe 44), what is all this nonsense about Malay predominance? Why does...

Off to camp! Ta!

Wasn't that smart of me -- I signed up for church camp and forgot all about it. I even PAID the camp fees, and still forgot all about it. (You'd think I'd jolly well remember since I had plonked down...
