And Another Thing About My Wonderful Neighbours…

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

I’ve mentioned my neighbours before, and after a quite few months, they’ve acted up again. As I’m typing now, one of the couples staying there are having a massive shouting matches (I’ve no idea what’s it about, I can’t make out the screaming words at the top of their voices). It’s a bit like those […]

If You Can Read This… (Also Something on Black Lagoon)

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Saw this at the carpark. Picture of the Day.

No idea what it says, though… :pbpbpbpb
In a totally unrelated matter, i’ve got to mention this - Silencers is absolutely spot on - Go and watch Black Lagoon. It’s brilliant.

An Introduction to Malaysian Reality TV Singing Contests

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

A few days ago, Suki was just crowned the first ever “One in A Million” champion. I hardly watched the show, the timing didn’t agree with me, but by and large I follow most of the local (and foreign) reality TV singing contests.

But first, some definitions - these shows are really just singing contests, not […]

Some Overused Marketing Clichés In Malaysian Condos

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Marketing property is pretty much the same as marketing anything else in Malaysia - lightbulbs, credit cards, second hand cars. The all hype up their products, focus on one or two of their ‘best’ qualities, seldom show the research or calculations to back their product, and more importantly, overuse cliched marketing buzzwords and catchphrases that […]

Let’s Talk Cellphones

Friday, September 15th, 2006

There’s this ad on TV (and by TV, I mean satellite TV, I have no idea what they’re showing on local), I think it’s by a local telco, where they show the evolution of handphones (or as the Americans call it, cellphones). First there was the huge brick-like ones (can anyone remember the Nokia Mobira […]

The Twenty One Lies of The Internet

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

I haven’t had this much fun writing a post for such a long time. Dedicated to all my friends, both real and online.

“I’m only going to check my e-mail.”
“Hot girls are waiting to talk to you now.”
“No, I never googled any of my friends.”
“Click here to unsubscribe.”
“Fastest growing petrol stocks.”
“Click the monkey and win […]

Top Ten Signs That the Mooncake Festival Is Getting Far Too Commercialized.

You want to buy lotus paste single yolk but the the neighbourhood shop only sells ‘new‘ flavours like snow skin vanilla with Ipoh white coffee and tiramisu. And low sugar white lotus and cheese.

Mooncakes shaped like Garfield are SO last season. This year’s new […]

Of Women’s Tennis Players (Specifically Henin-Hardenne vs. Sharapova)

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

Speaking of women’s tennis, the US Open final is on this weekend. I’d like to say that the US Open is probably the most exciting of the 4 slams, Wimbledon is full of tradition but tennis on grass don’t look so great if you’re not serve and volleying. And what’s with the white-gear-only ruling? […]
