Journey to the North Part 2: Dim Sum and Beyond the Perak River

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

This is the continuation of yesterday’s posting. Warning, though, lots of pics. Not friendly to dial-up connection, yadda yadda yadda… zzz…
Anyways, so we spent a night in a hotel in Ipoh. My ex-colleague was telling me that when he stayed in a hotel in the same town some years back, some pimp will come and […]

Journey to The North Part 1: Ipoh in the Twilight

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

So it began like this. Some months ago, a few of us decided to go for a SG holiday as together, as we do annually. Three years ago it was Melaka town. Cue lots of photo snapping at the historical monuments. And lots of durian cendol.
Then the year after that it was er… let me […]

About Ipoh, Penang and KL

Monday, March 27th, 2006

I’ve just come home from a weekend holiday to the North - Ipoh and Penang, to be specific. I’ve got lots of stories to write about and photos to show, but right now I’m too pooped to do much, hopefully it’ll be done in the next few days. I’m got to get the photos uploaded […]

Plugging Some Blogs

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

I know I plugged Jolene’s blog before, but I have to do this one.
Best post I’ve read in a long time. (Be patient. It loads s l o w l y…)
I’m not a particularly mushy person, but i think it kinda speaks to anyone who has ever been in love.
It really reminded me […]

This Year No Calendar Lah…

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

I seem to have very few table calendars this year. By table calendar, I mean the those half A4 types that stand up, and you flip them over every month, not those A3 size ones where you hide your resume under it. Every year I usually get lots and lots of them for the past […]

MATTA, MATTA, matta…

Monday, March 20th, 2006

Was at MATTA Fair over the weekend. This was my first time there, I was bracing for an mass of human bodies. It was packed alright. These people started parking their cars on the ramp leading to PWTC across Jalan Tun Razak. OMG, how kiasu can they be?! We got a parking spot easily at […]

Top Ten Reasons Why Simon Cowell is So Nasty On American Idol

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

Horrendous. Ghastly. If I’m being honest with you, it reminds me of a bad wedding band performance. Simon Cowell, well, he’s perennially nasty and unforgiving in the American Idol judges chair. Ever wonder why? I dunno, I have a few theories…

Horizontal Stripes Make You Look…

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

My friend likes to wear horizontal stripes. He isn’t pudgy or anything like that, he’s quite slim, actually. Not Kate Moss slim, but still not flabby either. More like Ryan Seacrest slim. Or should I say Seacresty? Okay, fine, fine, I need to lay off watching too much American Idol.
Anyways, this guy I know always […]

My Neighbour And The 3 Dogs

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

My neighbour has 3 dogs. If you think that’s a lot, get this. They used to have 5. Some of my other neighbours complained to the landlord, so they got rid of two of the uglier shaggier ones. I think they gave it to their friends, so there’s three remaining now. The three aren’t dogshow […]

Monday, March 13th, 2006

First there was napster. Then came Morpheus, Kazaa and Grokster. Now there’s BitTorent. It’s really becoming big, some of my friends haven’t touched their DVDs and cable remote for months…
