For most people, the last time they actually did some serious running was during the Tingkatan 5 sukantara at school. That’s when they made all of us run 100m, 400m, shot put and jump into the coarse sand to score some points for our sports houses (I was in Gryffindor, you leh?). These days the only time you run is: To be first in when the roller shutters open at the Isetan Sale at KLCC. 70%. When you see the traffic cops issuing summons and you are triple parked outside Starbucks. Stupid neighbour’s rottweiler chasing you down the street, mouth foaming (the rottweiler, not you). Free food buffet at Mano…

And the moron of the day is … Normal people like us who drive cheap cars only need one parking space, some people get more than one because they are probably too dumb to park properly… probably called in sick the day their driving instructor taught Parking 101. While we are on the subject, here’s another example: You DO know what the meaning of the word ‘WALKway’ right? Or does it translate into ‘FREE shaded motorcycle parking are while blocking people from walking’ in YOUR dictionary? ___ Don’t mind the negativity, I was actually just testing my new camera phone, this is one normal setting, there’s a higher setting with…

We were having a cup of coffee at Leo’s some weeks back, Boone and me, talking about cameras and websites and raptor watching at Tg. Tuan. Somehow we veered to talking about taking awesome pics of the full moon, and he mentioned something about seeing the ‘rabbit in the moon’. What rabbit? Boone was surprised i’ve never heard of it. If you look at the glowing full moon, you can roughly see an image of a rabbit in the moon. He says when he was a kid his mother told him about, and most his friends also knew this. Well, I didn’t. I’ve heard about the ‘man in the moon’…

Simon has a spanking new toy to play with – i just bought the [tag]Sony Ericsson w660i[/tag]. I was mulling over a few options, and finally whittled the choices down to the [tag]Nokia 5310[/tag] and the super-slim [tag]Sony Ericsson w880i[/tag]. A friend of mine bought the [tag]Nokia 5310[/tag] (red one) and i was very impressed with cool look and free carrying pouch. But I wanted a [tag]3G phone[/tag], and the 5310 didn’t have this feature. The [tag]Sony Ericsson[/tag] w880i had all the functions i wanted, but it was a little pricy (about RM760) and the buttons were very small (is it meant for ladies?!), so finally lowered my expectations and…

Back in the hair-[tag]metal[/tag] days of the 80’s, most of the mat rocks I knew were all into the bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, LA Guns, and a whole load of ’em poodle rock bands. But the serious metal fans (as paradoxical as that sounds), well, they were into Whitesnake. I dunno, in the whole hair metal scene, [tag]Whitesnake[/tag] were quite different. Maybe because they were British, but so were Def Leppard, but there was something that set them apart. In retrospect, i can guess it was because of [tag]David Coverdale[/tag], the lead singer (and leader) of the band, that was the driving force (and only member to…
