    Malim Nawar

    There’s a small town somewhere in Perak called Malim Nawar, I’ve no idea where it is nor have I ever been there. But that i’ll always remember the name of that town because there’s where my pal Looi came from. I say ‘came’ in the past tense because 17 years ago at the young age of 20 he passed away. He was my classmate and friend during my first year in university. He was actually roommates with my good friend Ray, so the three of us became pretty tight. He was a simple guy, from a humble background, a typical Perak guy of Cantonese descent. He was frank and funny,…

    ‘What It Takes’ By Aerosmith

As of a few weeks ago I have just found new way to pass my precious time unproductively – StumbleUpon. It’s not new, some people have been using it for years. So what does it do? It recommends you interesting websites as recommended by people with similar interests as you.…

    And Battlestar Galactica Has Come to an End

    And yeah, so, about two weeks ago, i watched the series finale of the Greatest Television Show Ever ™, Battlestar Galactica, bringing an end to four seasons. I realize the majority of Malaysians have not heard of the new BSG series, let alone follow it (although it comes on 8TV). I had it better than most people, taking less than a year to finish all 4 seasons of it, the original schedule took about 6 years to complete due to the writer’s strike in the US and a protracted break halfway through season 4. For the uninitiated, BSG is a reimagined series loosely based on the old 1970’s series, but…
