Wow, is it the year end already? Time sure passes quickly when you aren’t keeping track. It’s been a fabulous year for me, really, although it has it share of sad moments. But i was thinking of what to write all today to sum up the year, but i couldn’t really think of anything. Maybe i’m not that big on New Year celebrations and resolutions… But instead, i’ve give some awards to the highlights of the year according to me, Simon… Movie of the Year – i’ll go for a tie between Superbad and The Simpsons Movie. Website of the Year: Facebook. Like, everyone’s on it, man… Beyond the surface…

Overhead On The Night Before Christmas
“I forgot all about Steve! What can I get Steve for his Christmas present? I know! I’ll recycle that hideous T-shirt my mom gave me last Christmas… He’ll never know.” *** I swear to Gawd if i hear another song about Rudolph or Frosty or freaking drummer boy, i am going to explode…” *** “Who’s Arsenal playing in the post-Christmas Day clash? Got live telecast or not?” *** “Oh my Gawd!! I spent 1 HOUR waiting for a parking spot in 1-Utama this morning…! Why does everyone have do their last minute shopping as the same time as ME?!” *** I can’t believe Suria KLCC brought out that old tallest…

The Hunt For A Renovation Contractor
A few weeks ago, we decided to do some renovate our front gate and brickwall fence, after more than 8 years of putting it off. We estimated it to be about RM5,000 judging from some of the works done by our neighbours. Here’s an interesting fact – our house is probably the ONLY house left in the whole housing estate that has NOT been renovated – front or back. I have to admit – it’s really for friends to find our place… “Easy to find one, just look for the only house that looks ORIGINAL…!” So we started to look for a renovation contractor. Obviously we aren’t going to get…

Weekends
When I was in college, there was one sure sign that the weekend was here – when you come back to the dorms on Friday evenings, you see the laundry hanging out to dry. So typical of guys to leave all their dirty clothes to be washed once a week. Weekends take on a whole different perspective when you are working, and an even deeper relevance when you have a family. After working jobs that require me to work on Saturdays (and some Sundays) for more than 6 years, I’ve recently just moved to a new company that has one of the best perks a job can offer – a…

Don’t Cry by Guns N’ Roses
Reading this by bob reminded me of Guns ‘N Roses, and i went on a little journey of re-discovery of one of the greatest metal bands of the 90’s over the weekend, many thanks to my old CDs and Youtube. I wasn’t exactly a rabid fanboy of GN’R, but i did have their albums and listened to them quite a lot back in college. But i suppose in my book, they’re probably up there along with Metallica, Bon Jovi and Manowar. Gn’R’s fame is largely based on 4 major studio albums (among other factors) – Appetite for Destruction, G N’ R Lies, and the double album Use Your Illusion I…
