The Thomas Cup finals are starting soon. Now, now, I can hear you say, “So what?” or “Who cares?” but bear with me here.
As uncool as badminton is in Malaysia now, there are a lot of people who would like to see our boys lift that old silver cup. In the age EPL, Tiger Woods, […]

Just Why Is Ikea So Popular..

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

I go to these show houses at those housing launches quite a lot. You know, every time a developer launches a new housing project, they build a nice, swanky show house fitted out with nice, clean furniture like those you see in interior decoration magazines.
Nine out of ten show houses will be fitted out in […]

Anyone Remember The Alleycats?

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

It was led by David Arumugam, with his Afro bigger than that guy from Boney M. Then there was his brother Loga, who was pretty much a thinner version of David, with a slightly smaller Afro (but still bigger than then-Malaysian striker Zainal Abidin Hassan’s). I never understood what Loga did in the band, the […]

A friend of mine is pregnant, and the baby is due next week. I just saw her gobbled down a slice of rich chocolate cake and a slice of cheesecake the other day. I’ve two children (I didn’t give birth to them, my wife did), so I know pregnancies pretty well. One thing I know […]

Top Ten Secrets To Be Revealed in the New Superman Movie

Monday, April 17th, 2006

There’s going to be a new Superman movie out soon, I believe its called ‘Superman Returns’. I dunno, unlike all the salivating fanboys out there, I’m not really excited about it, despite the hype that has been dominating the media of late. Maybe its that in its absence, too many other superhero movies and comic […]

“Daddy, what’s G-O-O-G-L-E?”
What to answer? The Microsoft of the new millennium? The Internet juggernaut that is taking over almost every aspect of the online experience? The start-up by two guys that have change the way we read […]

And then after that, it’s Easter. It’s the most important day for Christians, don’t believe what the media tells you about Christmas. (Head over to Lil’s blog, she’ll tell you more about the Holy Week)
