Starlight Cinema Week (a.k.a. “Disney cartoons making you hurl?”)

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Have you ever wanted to watch good anime on a large screen?
Have you dreamed of enjoying subtle Japanese humour and candor under the polluted Malaysian night sky?
Think that Japanese girls with big shimmering eyes, pleated skirt, knee-high socks and pink hair are uber-cool? (Oversized sword optional)
Saccharinely sweet Disney cartoons making you hurl?
Want to understand the […]

It’s Secretary’s Day Again. Woo-hoo.

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

It’s Secretary’s Day again. Woo-hoo!
Last year I wrote something about Secretary’s Day, as did I the year before. And to this day, I still get incoming clicks from Google on subjects like ‘sexy secretaries’ and ‘secretary’s legs’. The internet never fails to amaze me everyday.
I don’t have a secretary, never had one. But if I […]

One Year On A Deserted Island…

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

This one is quite interesting, got it from mott and lilian - the premise is that you’re stuck on a deserted island, and can choose too bring along 5-6 of their most wanted bloggers, for one year.
I’m thinking most Malaysians like me aren’t going to survive long on a deserted island, doesn’t matter even […]

Five Things You Never Knew About Me

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Five Things You Never Knew About Me.

I’m lefthanded. My dad’s ambidextrous.

I’m supposed to be wearing glasses, since i can’t really see well in the dark. But I’ve never got round to getting one.

I hate wearing watches. In the days before handphones, i always kept my watch in my pocket. Lost it once and my mom […]

Nothing To Do At Work

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Some years back, I worked in this stuffy, serious office right in the middle of the city. It wasn’t any of those offices where the bosses were liberal and every day is Casual Day, this was one of those stuffy, dreary offices where the lighting is dim and everyone was dead boring. Except me la.
There […]

They Say the Elections Are Coming…

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

They’ve started to re-pave the road leading into the kampong near my house, so I’m thinking the elections are coming soon. The last time they paved the pothole-ridden asphalt road was like, 5 years ago (go figure).
As any responsible Malaysian, you should go and register and vote. Here’s a few good reasons why.
Four Good Reasons […]

What? SPM Results Out Already?!

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Last Monday the SPM results were released. Or so i was told.
So after a few months of slacking off and unbridled freedom for the 17 year olds all across the country, it was one weekend of anxious waiting and flurried text messages.
I remember during my time, (oh, just a few years ago) when they announced […]

The Obligatory Together-Gather Party Post

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

Was at the Together-Gather Bloggers Party on Friday night at Federal Hotel in the heart of the city. My office was less than 5km away, but with the !@%&!! traffic jam it took me more than 90 minutes. Some bloggers from PJ told me it took them 2 hours plus.
I definitely wasn’t the last to […]
