    Today is Nov 24th, But you’re probably reading this on the 25th. That leaves us with 37 days in this year 2005, slightly more than 5 weeks.

Yes, all 25 of them. Start your Christmas shopping. Plan a year-end holiday. It’s FAR too late to… Start looking hardworking so…

    Satellite TV Rants

    I was reading in some local forum where quite a lot of people where complaining about a certain Malaysian cable provider (let’s not mention the company to protect its identity, haw haw). The complaints aren’t new, and they aren’t the only people who have this problem. One of the biggest gripe with them is not receiving the programme book. I dunno, I gave up reading the programme book a long time ago. Firstly because the print is so bloody small. Secondly, the programming is sometimes incorrect. They say one programme, but when the day comes another show in on. Plus for most of the sports programme, schedule of telecasts can’t…

    Good Brands to Buy

    If you want to buy good mosquito coil, you need to buy one and only one kind – Fish brand mosquito coil. It’s in a yellow and white box, with a picture of a big-eyed goldfish on the cover. I’ve tried other modern brands, like Shelltox or don’t-know-what, but they tend to break easily, and drop shavings all over the place when you handle them. If you want to buy matches, there is only one good brand to buy – the one with the picture a flying superhero on it. What do you use matches for nowadays, you may ask. To light the mosquito coils, of course. Anyway, if you…

    Short Post

    Short post today, not in the mood for histrionics. I was in KLCC last week, I wanted to go to one of the particular shops. But guess what, it was closed. There was a paper note stuck to the roller shutter. According to them, they were closed due to power failure, until further notice. Then I remembered reading about a fire at one of the exits to the cinema in KLCC, and the power failure was due to a fire during the Hari Raya week. I noticed it wasn’t that one shop only, all the shops in the new wing were closed. Wow, I thought. That’s a lot of potential…
