Get Professional Makeup and Look Like Jessica Simpson

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

You know those high class counters in the shopping centre selling designer perfume and obscenely expensive make up for women? Behind the counter are usually the prettiest sales girls in the shopping centre, dressed up in either white, grey or black, usually with heavy make up and fogged up perfume on their necks.
And with highlights […]

The Prime Directive

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Mr. Tan – Alright, today’s a very important day. Let’s start out mission briefing.
Susie – I’m so tired… can I have another 5 minutes of rest? I didn’t get much sleep last night.
Mr. Tan – Discipline, Susie. You are a soldier, on a holy mission from the elders, discipline! Don’t make me report you to […]

Remembering Kenny

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Remembering Kenny. It has been a year.
It was just past midnight, on the 3rd of February, 2005. Just a few days before Chinese New Year.
It was always at the back of my mind, I didn’t feel like posting about it until I read Pat’s post. Strange thoughts, indeed.
I don’t have any photos of the […]

More Obscure Movies That Did NOT Make It Here

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Some of you may remember this earlier post I did. Well, since its another slow day, here’s more of the same. Some more obscure Hollywood movies that strangely were never released here…
Hairy Potter and the Prisoner of Alcatraz – The Chewbacca-like wizard boy Hairy Potter (too much hair-growing hormones) is back for another hair-raising (no […]

What Bosses Like to Say

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

I’ve worked with lots managers over the years, some good, some bad. Some even are like that pointy-haired boss in the Dilbert comic strip. But one thing they do, they seldom say what’s on their mind. I’ve no idea why. But I’ve pretty much learnt to understand what they are really saying (to hear between […]

Celebrity Showdown: Superman vs. Batman

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

For those of you who follow Hollywood news, you’d know that there’ll be a new Superman movie coming up. While the fan boys are salivating with the prospects of it, while busy discussing this like the size of his chest logo, I’m not exactly totally psyched up yet. Probably it’s because of the old movies […]

Veteran and Noob Bloggers

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

OK, I’m bored and restless. And too un-motivated to do anything productive.
These days, there are literally dozens of new Malaysian blogs appearing everyday. I think the turning point was during the PPS 2nd anniversary, and all the publicity in the papers, and then the floodgates open. Browsing through our local blog portals, i can see […]

Make Some Money From the Rains

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Looks like another day of rains and floods in the capital. Bummer. I’ve been thinking of some ways to beat the blues and maybe make some money…

Put out as many empty mineral water bottles in the rain until they are full, seal them, label them with some expensive sounding name like ‘SkyJuice‘ or ‘La Rain […]
