Today’s Halloween. It’s okay if you dunno anything about the occasion, I don’t either. It’s some American tradition like Thanksgiving and Superbowl Sunday. But judging from all the TV programs, its supposed to be a day originating from Samhain where kids dress up like supposedly scary costumes (You want scary? Has anyone dressed up like […]
Trigger - Hey, Silver. You know something? I feel a little uneasy around here. This place is a bit… spooky.
Silver - Aw, c’mon, it’s spook because it some festival going on here in Malaysia. All the good folks have disappeared off somewhere, leaving the Filipino maids, Indonesian labourers, Myanmar coffeeshop workers and other foreigners like […]
Hari Raya is now in its third day, most folks are still on leave, there’s probably one more day of ‘Raya TV specials’ on air all day. Let’s face it, local TV during Hari Raya hasn’t changed much in the last 20 years. The stars may be younger, and the production slightly better (just slightly) […]
Selamat Hari Raya folks.
It’s been a good day, so good i had to drag myself off the couch to blog a bit. Okay, just a little.
Let me see, today i woke up at 10, went to Mid-Valley Megamall (just before the carpark became a madhouse), tried the new KFC variety bucket, came back, slept it […]
I’d like to wish Happy Deepavali or Diwali to some notable Malaysians. I’m not sure if some of these people celebrate the Festival of Lights or not, but in the spirit of Malaysiana, I wish them well all the same.
M. Karathu – that humble unassuming Perak coach that lighted up Malaysian football all those years […]
Stall Owner: Sawadee kap… want to buy silver/silk/T-shirt/priceless-artefact-unearthed-from-ancient-sunken-city-of-Ayutthaya?
Me: Hmmm. Just browsing. (Points to something, NOT the priceless artefact, of course) How much for this one?
Stall Owner: This one I give very cheap. 400 baht only. (Gives the all famous ‘land of thousand smiles’ smile)
Me: (Raises eyebrows).
(Side note: I dunno. This raising eyebrows thing is […]
If you’re wondering where I’ve disappeared to for the past few days, I was on holiday over the weekend to the ancient Siamese kingdom of Lanna, or Chiang Mai as you would call it today.
Don’t worry, I won’t be posting like 20 vacation photos here, just a few interesting points about the oldest city in […]
Haze, rain (flood and traffic jams), haze, rain (flood and…), haze…
I’m beginning to see a pattern emerging here.
After one week of lung choking haze, number of MC’s increase. Yes, I contributed one day, too. Then the papers will be out with their swords against those people contributing to the haze e.g. evil logging companies, […]
Regular readers of this blog (yes, all TWO of you) will remember me mentioning about my (un)trusty old Proton Iswara, which DBKL is considering to award the “Oldest Proton in the City” special prize soon.
These days I seldom use it, due to a variety of reasons, namely – air-con not working, engine overheats every time […]
I know this happened before, but simontalks.com is closed temporarily due to the $%@#$ haze and related respiratory illnesses.
Normal services should resume in a day or two. Hopefully. Some more tomorrow not holiday for me man.
Anyway, for those who can’t remember how our country looked like before our neighbours tried to choke us to death… […]
