Club president: Have you been noticing something weird about our club recently? Club Secretary: Yeah, we keep getting these weird looks from people… Club president: Maybe its our club logo, people keep pointing at my the club sticker on my car and laughing? Club Secretary: What’s wrong with a Scuba diving club? Club president: Precisely! The other day, i was parking my car at the shopping mall, this weird guy took a pic with his (awesome) camera phone! What is WRONG with this people?! Club Secretary: Tell me about it… it’ll probably end up in a blog or some forum, but i don’t have a clue why our club logo…

My Parents’ Old Vinyl Record Collection
Last trip back home to my parents home was a event-filled weekend, good food, and running about a lot. On the last night, i decided to fire up the old turntable, or record player as we called it back home. It’s been awhile since i last played it, prolly something like 5 years ago. Growing up, the record player was a fixture in our household, my parents would once in awhile play their old records from the 60’s and 70’s, and their tastes was a huge part of my musical education as kid. Actually this isn’t the turntable we had all along, ours was a large impressive one with tape…

Meeting The Justice League in the Flesh
One fine day two weeks ago we were bored sitting at home during the school holidays (actually I was the one bored, my kids were having the time of their lives) so we decided to go shopping. Not wanting to join in the mad crowds at 1 Utama or Mid-Valley, we decided to join the mad crowds at Sunway Pyramid instead. We made it just in time for the ‘Justice League Meet & Greet’ session. Look how cool and slim the three of them look! Anyway there was some time to kill before the event started, so we checked out the stalls and displays. This is specifically to tell you…

My New Fully Leather Sofa Recliner Set :)
i’d had my old PVC sofa set since i got married and moved into my home some 9 years ago, and let me tell you this – PVC sofa sets don’t last long and they don’t look good after a few years of heavy usage. But it did serve us well over the years, considering we got it super el cheapo from some export surplus place, together with my dining set. Sooo-ooo… after shopping around for a few months, and checking out almost every decent store that sold fully leather sofas, like Lorenzo (so expensive! even during sale!!), Harvey Norman (also expensive! But i liked the La-Z-Boy) and many others……

5 Years of Project Petaling Street
Project Petaling Street (PPS) is celebrating its 5th birthday soon, and first a foremost, let me wish Aiz and PPS a warm Happy Birthday! I started blogging back in 2005, back then, there were quite a few Malaysian bloggers already, and then there was PPS. It was (and still is) THE place for bloggers to ping their latest post, and come to find the latest in the burgeoning blogosphere. Most of the bloggers that I’ve come to know in the past 3 and a half years where through PPS. Back then PPS had this black and white look (i really loved it) where they had this window at the sidebar…

Rattan Shop in Gunong Rapat, Ipoh
Was in Ipoh last weekend, as usual it was food, food, coffee, and more glorious food. The important stuff, you know… But aside from the (glorious food) on the last day i was there, we decided to buy a rattan chair for my FIL. He likes rattan furniture, and he needs one to read his morning paper everyday, rather than on the cold mosaic floor. So we drove to this rattan furniture shop in Gunong Rapat in Ipoh, same row as the big market where my MIL buys siew yoke for us to eat in the morning. i must have passed this shop many times in my many trips to…

Nonsense From Me
I usually only wear white Tees. If its a polo Tee, then maybe in some pastel colour. But last week i bought a heavy coloured T, first in a long long time. White tees go well with my faded blue jeans. Speaking of which i was in the Levi’s store on Saturday and asked the guy “you have this kind of cutting and this color?” (pointing to the jeans i was wearing) “Nope. Levi’s don’t come in that colour anymore”, came the immediate reply. It’s been a loooong time since I bought a pair of jeans. *** Whenever i log onto the Net, this is the order of importance: Gmail,…
