I’m feeling kinda depressed at work lately, not helped by a recurring headache since Sunday night. And so what do I do? Bitch about it on my blog! No seriously, I’m gonna bitch about the internet. This is just my humble opinion, feel free to add at the end… WHAT’S COOL: … Firefox. Opera WHAT’S NOT: … Internet Explorer. Netscape WHAT’S COOL:… WordPress. WHAT’S NOT: … That other one, that isn’t WordPress. WHAT’S COOL:… Amazon.com WHAT’S NOT: … Barnes & Noble WHAT’S COOL: … “Take Back the Web” WHAT’S NOT: … “Windows have encountered a problem…Send or Don’t Send Error Report…” WHAT’S COOL: … Google, A9 WHAT’S NOT: … Lycos,…

I used to work in a crummy site office in a steel cabin. They arranged a few cabins and made a roof in between to make a larger office space. The place was a dump, to say the least. There were like 100 guys and 10 girls in the place at any one time, not including sub-contractors. Yeah, and they say the office is the best place to meet chicks. Anyway, get this. There were 3 toilets, one for the girls, two for the guys. In the evenings, Indonesian workers used one of the stalls to bathe. Imagine if you had a horrible stomach ache, and there a 45 guys…

I just read fishtail’s entry about locking your keys inside the car. I’m sad to say it has happened to me at least twice (I say ‘at least’, because I’m pretty good at forgetting embarrassing incidents. Like that time when my dog… er… I can’t remember much). The first time was no biggie, I left my pal with the car, borrowed his motorbike, went home and got the spare key. It was a good thing I had kept the spare, if not I’d have to shell out like RM50 for a locksmith. The second time was at a New Year’s Day party at my friend’s house. It was like 3am…

As some of you might have noticed, I won the third prize in the “Me & My Car” contest organized by Dinzlink and his blogging car 8555 (both of which are on a temporary hiatus). I was quite ecstatic about it, I never win anything in all these contest (Dinzlink might want to interject here that there were only 4 entries, so Simon chances of winning was 75%, but Simon is not paying attention) The prize was of course an ORIGINAL copy of the movie “Initial D” on ORIGINAL VCD. First off, I’m not a fan of recent Hong Kong movies (the last one I paid money to watch one…

Top Ten Things You WON’T Hear in the Next Episode of Desperate Housewives by Simon (who auditioned and almost got the part of Edie…) “What kind of magic grass is this? It grows so fast I need to mow it EVERYDAY!” “I knew it!!! Dana is actually Dana Sculley! And look, here comes Fox Mulder! Woo-hoo!” “Sarah, let me be frank with you. I’ve actually been lying to you all this while. I’ve not really a plumber… I’m a top fashion designer for Salvatore Ferragamo, and I am SO gay. And darling, you SO need to make-over your wardrobe…” “You know what, Sarah? Sometimes I feel we are just four…

Top Ten Things I Learnt Watching Desperate Housewives by Simon (who has nothing else to watch on Tuesday nights… In America, every woman in the neighbourhood looks like a million bucks. Except ONE lady who’s a nosy busybody, who looks like your normal makcik. If you’re only 5’6” tall, you still can be a ‘top model in Europe a few years ago’. American municipal councils keep their streets spick and span, with not even a dried leaf in sight. Cleaner than Damansara Heights just before the Prime Minister visits. Even if your neighbour suddenly committed suicide, you can still hear her voice in the background every day. Even in your…

Important Landmarks in Indonesia-Malaysia International Ties 1400 – Parameswara flees Palembang to come to Melaka. Takes the Dumai ferry. 1824 – Anglo-Dutch Treaty (Perjanjian Inggeris-Belanda). Great Britain and Netherlands swap autographs and divvy up trade rights in Southeast Asia. Refer to Form 3 History textbook. 1962-66 – Konfrontasi between the two neighbours. I won’t open up the can of worms here… 1967 – ASEAN formed and ‘Konfrontasi’ ended. Malaysia ‘kasi chan’ to Indonesia to host the secretariat in Jakarta. 1991 – Malaysia beats Indonesia to win the Thomas Cup. I can’t remember who won the next few ones. 2002 – Indonesian workers riot in Nilai and destroy property. Police intervene…

Now that the haze has relative cleared, we can’t talk or complain about it anymore. So what should we talk or bitch about during lunch hour or at the mamak? Here are some new topics. Top Ten Things to Bitch About Now That the Haze Is Gone Price of petrol (Always a good one…) How long Rafidah will last (“We’re open for bets! Step right up!”) How the smokers are back in full force again… (If you think the haze was bad…) Whether next year’s haze season will come earlier or later. (“According to the Chinese calendar, it should come somewhere in July…”) KL drivers. “Wow, did you watch last…

If you’re a Chelsea fan, you’re probably a new staff in the old company. If you’re an Arsenal fan, you’re probably an Assistant Manager. If you’re a Manchester United fan, your company has probably just been bought over by corporate America. If you’re a Blackburn fan, you probably have a boring job. If you’re a Manchester City fan, you probably just lost your best employee to that multi-national corporation. If you’re a Sunderland fan, you’ll probably won’t stay long in this company. If you’re a Wigan fan, you’re probably very popular in the staff canteen. If you’re an Everton fan, you’re probably involved more major projects than you can handle.…

Not my idea of a good top ten list, but since SOMEONE asked for it, so I asked around for some feedback, and so here’s the make-shift list, it’ll will have to do. Top 10 Most Good-Looking EPL Footballers by Simon (WHO IS NOT GAY!!!) Robert Pires (Arsenal) – an obvious choice, as suggested by my friend Boone. I dunno, it must be that Gallic allure, or that cheeky goatee that drives the girls at the clock end screaming every Saturday afternoon. Simon says he looks a bit like: A very young De Niro Pic taken from dnet.net.id Laurent Robert (Portsmouth) – This Newcastle bad boy has joined Pompey for…
