Last month my head office had to retrench some staff due to specific reasons.
I wasn’t there, since i’m not stationed at the head office, but i figure the immediate superior or the HR manager would probably call the poor guy into the office and say, “i think you better sit down first…” or “You know […]

It was some time in the mid 90’s, i was renting a room slightly bigger than a closet somewhere in SS2.
Everyday, i come home from work, plonk down onto my spring metal bed with the plywood-thin mattress (bought for RM22 at the pasar malam) and turn on my old 14″ TV sitting on the floor […]

Here’s an interesting Internet experiment if you’ve nothing else to do.
Out of the 70million blogs out there in existence, and millions more created each day, want to the special one million?
I’m at number 1271. Nice number.

Thanks to Silencers for the idea.
On another note, has anyone noticed how HOT the weather’s been these past 2 weeks? […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Simon has a spanking new toy to play with - i just bought the Sony Ericsson w660i.
I was mulling over a few options, and finally whittled the choices down to the Nokia 5310 and the super-slim Sony Ericsson w880i. A friend of mine bought the Nokia 5310 (red one) and i was very impressed with […]

Back in the hair-metal 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 […]

That’s right, folks, you read it korrectly.
It’s kambing. And here’s the preview video. Turn up your speakers to the MAX.

(sorry for the bootleg quality video, i dun have any awesome video editing software, k?)
For my post on the last year’s bash, read here.
So, there. Get ready for TGG2. More details soon, […]

I’m joining the MSM (mainstream media) boycott.
(For the background to it, you can read it all here)

But beside the fact that they print lies and blatant propaganda, i have another reason to wean off buying it. Our newspapers are basically crap.
Let’s look at NST and the Star. Look, the local news about politics and stuff […]
