Last post on petrol prices, I promise. For this year. I snapped this pic somewhere in the city the other day, i then realized that a lot of the petrol stations have put up this sign. Anyway, if you can’t see it properly, this is what it says: Actual Price Govt Subsidy Retail Price RON 97 2.797 1.177 1.620 Diesel 2.137 0.856 1.281 *sigh*… RM1.62 man… soon its gonna be more expensive than most of the shares I own… hahaha… [tags]petrol, fuel, petrol prices, fuel prices, unleaded[/tags]

Alright, its the third day of christmas, and I’m typing this, most of you are either still sleeping on your holiday or sitting in a half empty office like me. Well, at least it’s a nice morning, and I had 2 days of holidays myself. Very tiring two days, but quite fun. And now 3 more days of work, then more parties and festivities… Anyways, some pics taken over the past few days. Below: This is taken from the centre court at the Curve, Mutiara Damansara. Their first Christmas decoration was a little disappointing, and there was considerably less people there as compared to 1 Utama or MidValley. Maybe they…

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” *** For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting…

Today is the Thursday before Christmas, there are 3 more days to the big day. Short post today, maybe there will be another one later today. Depends on the position of the sun in relation to Venus. Right. This one is about Favourite Christmas Carols. Mine is ‘O Holy Night’, it isn’t really popular, but I’ve loved it since I started carolling. What’s yours? Mike Tyson’s favourite Christmas carol: All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth Michael Jackson’s favourite Christmas carol: Little Drummer Boy Ariel Sharon’s favourite Christmas carol: O Little Town of Bethlehem George Bush’s favourite Christmas carol: Joy to the World Junichiro Koizumi, Hu Jintao…

Today is the Wednesday before Christmas, there are four more days to the big day. (yep, I’m still counting down the days…) We heard so much about the ‘White Christmas‘ decorations at Mid-Valley, so last week we decided to go down, brave jam and maniacal shoppers to see it. The place was quite packed, school holidays and all, there were no shortage of people fuelling the Malaysian economy. Economical slowdown? But MNG is on sale!! Speaking of MNG sale, I wonder if Uncle Belacans was there… hahaha… Okay, first the pics, then the top ten list… Below: As you can see, the White Witch has already come here before. And…

Today is the Tuesday before Christmas, there 5 days left to the big day. (I’ll be counting it down everyday til then, so you guys have to be patient with me…) Here are some pix i took at the Christmas with Us party, there was a big turnout and we had loads of fun, not to mention some delicious turkey to eat… Below: “Oh my gawd! Check out my skinny legs! I knew i shouldn’t have worn shorts!” Below: “Gaaah, Somebody call CSI! They have murdered and decapitated Frosty!!” Below: Things started getting ugly when everyone wanted to do the newspaper’s Sudoku first… Below: “You call this a Christmas tree?…

Ah, Christmas gift buying. The very simple activity that fuels 80% of our retail industry in Decembers. I did a post a few days ago, but since I just finished buying Christmas presents for my friends, I’m so inclined to write another post. Well, there hundred of articles telling you what to buy your girlfriend / boyfriend for Christmas, I thought I’d write about stuff NOT to buy. Hah. You wouldn’t expect anything less from this blog, right? Some Things You Do NOT Want to Hear Your Girlfriend Say When She Opens Your Christmas Present ”Wow. A hundred ringgit voucher for a slimming centre. Gee, you think I’m fat?” ”This…

It was a warm Wednesday in September, that day. The sun was warm even in those days, this is some years ago. In the heat of the afternoon, I knew it was going to be a long day, it would probably go deep into the early hours of the Thursday. I was crouched over the low coffee table on the living room of our small college dorm. The three of us had taken over the whole living room, including the 2 coffee tables and the chairs. And on the bigger coffeetable, the drawing sheets were laid out for us to work. There was actually 6 of us in the assignment…

Really, you would think they’d send someone else to a conference attended by international delegate? But since the topic of the seminar was not something important like world peace or press freedom, i wasn’t fully paying attention. This was sometime back. Anyway, i thought i heard some of the following. Or they could have been voices in my head. Please note it was NOT the big international leader’s summit in KL, OK? What? You mean we’re NOT having durian for tea time? How can?! As a memento for all of you attending this wonderful conference, we are giving all of you this precious, collectible, rarely minted RM1 coin! Can we…

Nothing much happening these days, i suppose a lot of people are winding down during the school holidays. These days, most of the talk around here is about the road closures, floods and rains and the coming Christmas holidays. I kind of like these slow days, at least the traffic is as mad as when school is on. I’m planning to do a few posts on the highlights of 2005, it has been such a interesting year to say the least. First off, perhaps my readers can share about the most significant event in your life this past year – whether it was a personal incident, national news story, or…
