I was asked to do a posting about this, i was quite reluctant since i have never watched a full episode of this wildly popular series. Just bits and pieces here and there of the many spin-offs. Anyway, yesterday I managed to catch two full episodes (finally), it was quite entertaining, but i guess after so many seasons, the ideas aren’t so fresh, it was more of the usual cop and lab investigation thing, with the usual fingerprint dusting and blood sampling. But anyway. Top Ten Reasons Why There is No CSI: Malaysia Grisly murder scene re-enactments censored, shots of dead bodies censored, sexy scenes censored, foul language censored, what…

It’s one of those end of the year things, i suppose. Ah well, 17 days to Christmas… Top Ten Things Simon Learnt in 2005 My Iswara actually now reach RM56 for one full tank. If you leave a plastic bottle on your dashboard under the Malaysian sun, then its bye-bye bottle. I have been watching re-run of ‘Friends’ for more than 11 years. I need a DVD player. 50,000 words for Nanowrimo is really difficult. But once you finish, it’s really satisfying. There are far too many reality show and medical investigation dramas on TV. Bush is funny. Not intentionally funny, but funny nonetheless. Malaysian Idol is predictable. Akademi Fantasia…

It looks like lots of people have burning questions about Christmas and Santa than me… judging from my previous post. So i’m dedicating today’s post to answering MORE questions. Really, its also becoz I have nothing else better to do… Why does Santa wear red a red suit?(question by lucia) It’s not red actually, it’s white. Due to excitement, his blood rushes out to his clothes. Why does he has a long white beard? (question by lucia) It’s not really his beard. Santa has a problem with excessive nose hair. How was Santa like when he was young? (question by Ken) Very Ho-Ho-Horny. Young boys, you know. How does Santa…

Simon is bored. SO, today, he’ll answer random questions about Christmas and the festive season. Apologies to Santa, elves and the tooth fairy. No offence meant. How come it doesn’t snow in Malaysia? Global warming. How come I never get to see Santa Claus flying around the sky on Christmas Eve night? Santa uses a cloaking device. If Malaysian houses have no chimneys, how does Santa get into our homes to distrbute presents? Using master keys, plus some useful skills he picked up from prison, and a circular blade saw. Is Rudolph a real reindeer? Why is his nose red? No he’s a mutant kancil with fake antlers. His red…

Hah, i saw this meme floating around, and even though no one tagged me, I’m doing it nonetheless. Yeah, life as a third rate blogger is pretty sad, sometimes. I think the meme has something to do with memories of food from your childhood, so here goes: Mee Siput – Boo yeah! this stuff rocks! I never seen it since i left me hometown, but a few years ago, my brother bought it somewhere in the city. It’s crunchy stuff, looks like Muruku, but it’s brown and has sort of like bubbles on. i used to buy one on the way home from school everyday for 10sen from the Indian…

I’ve been travelling a lot. It tells, doesn’t it? Top Ten Thngs You May (or May Not) Notice When Your Traveling On the North South Highway Most drivers break the speed limit. Some drivers even break the concorde speed limit. The accepted lane convention for Malaysian 3 lane-highways : Left lane is for anything slower than 110km/h (buses, lorries, old cars, me). Middle lane is for constant speed of 110km/h (move any slower, please move to the left lane). Right lane has no speed limit. If you’re on that lane, be prepared to be flashed down by the black CLK doing 168km/h. Express buses can speed pretty darn fast, too.…

December is on us, without most of us even knowing it. There’s less than 30 days left in the year, with means that Christmas is no more than 4 weeks away. Woo-hoo! Christmas usually means one important thing for courting couples – Christmas presents. Let’s face it, buying prezzies is a tough one to call. Getting that right present she likes, at a price that won’t puncture your wallet (or make you eat Hi-5 bread for dinner for the whole of January). Sometimes, you think you’ve found the right present, but for some strange reason, she doesn’t like it… sigh… Anyway, here are some popular ones most guys go for…

Short one today. Something about observing other drivers. Tomorrow I might continue the movies-that-never-made-it-here post (see this one). Or maybe actually do the ‘Why there is no CSI:Malaysia’ post (as recommended by nadia…) Then again, maybe not… Let’s face it – there are too many cars on the city roads these days. Far too many. Even in small towns, the traffic jams are horrendous, but not as bad as KL on weekdays. Just look around you during peak hour traffic jams: almost every car is empty except for the driver. I spend a lot of time observing other drivers (during jams, not while cruising 105km/h on the Kesas highway) and…
