Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Yes, I know it’s a bombastic title, but i couldn’t resist it…
Anyway, we had a (very small) mid-autumn festival thing at home last week. We had a lot of mooncakes, and brought out all our old RM1-for-three paper lanterns we kept from last year. For candles, we had three boxes, supposed to be for birthday […]

Manga Talk

Monday, September 24th, 2007

I was going to blog something about a boy named vincent, but after mulling about it for 2 minutes, i decided not to.
I decided then to blog about something else.
I’ve been reading quite a lot of manga recently, and spending less and less time watching anime. Some have been quite bland, but i found a […]

Bye Bye, Jose

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Okay, footie post.
So after three seasons with Chelsea FC, Mr. Jose Mourinho has left the London club, through mutual consent.
Let me just say that while i first thought of him as an unnecessarily arrogant jerk, and still think of him as one, he was an excellent manager, and brought success to Chelsea where many others […]

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Looking for frappuccino, but not willing to pay like RM12 for it?
Stuck in the neck of woods and craving for espresso and bran muffin but there’s no Starbucks within 134km radius?

Consuela and Pat have both gotten me onto the Facebook bug and it’s addictive…
I’ve never got on the Friendster / MySpace craze, now i can see what the whole fuss is all about.
If you guys are on Facebook, come look for […]

You know WHY i am not watching TV like every other Sunday night?

Because my kids are watching the premier of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2, that’s why.

Anyone Remember Vivian Chow?

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Oh wow, she was super popular back then, wasn’t she?
My pals were like totally worshipping her, with huge posters of her on our college dorm walls. She did this series of ads for Canon BubbleJet, and one of my pals even managed to swipe this life-sized cardboard cut-out of her holding the small printer…

Seriously, she […]
