    Filler Post #395: Afternoon Delight

    Ever since Sun Yin Loong coffeeshop increased their prices by 20sen earlier this year, i’ve stopped going there even though they’ve got the best brew in town. Last Monday was a pretty slow day (post holiday blues) so i couldn’t resist having a cup to pass the time until 5pm. While I was there, might as well indulge in the egg on toast. Mmmm, can you smell the cholestrol…? 🙂 Time passes slower for me at the office, especially in the sleepy afternoons.

    My First Cup of Coffee After 31 Days

There were a few occasions I couldn’t tahan so…

    Irony

    Malaysiakini‘s Zunar is probably one of the funniest political cartoonist since Lat (are they even any others?). This one is exceptionally ironic, worth a mention here. I like the pointed sarcasm on hypocrisy. Pak Lah can pay all the lip service about equality and meritocracy he wants, but we all know the reality of it.

    My First Ericsson Phone Back in 1996

    Was rummaging in the cupboard for something the other day when i came across this. It was my very first phone back in 1996! That was 12 years and 6 handphones ago, man… Back then almost everyone had an Ericsson phone. They had different variations of the basic model – some for PCN networks, some for GSM, some had flip-downs, etc. They pretty much had the market sewed up back then, and Nokia was a distant second. The box was BIG. You can’t tell from the first pic, but here’s a comparison with the box for my new Sony Ericsson which i bought back in March. The old phone box…
