I don’t believe in all these bad luck thing about Friday the 13th, but coincidently, I got a foul piece of luck today. Last night my computer hanged while I was downloading something from online. It happened while I was translating and the whole word document, although periodically auto-saved, also went off when I had [...]

Gossip Man
Move aside Gossip Girl.
At the risk of sounding like a feminist bigot, I want to nitpick on a certain species today which goes by the name of man(kind). In particular, about men and the gossip syndrome. The husband once told me, men don’t gossip. I beg to differ as I observe otherwise.
In the mornings, I [...]

They say…
Did I hear correctly ? That there was supposed to be an invasion of sorts? That Indonesia is going to invade Malaysia like today or is it tomorrow?
heh , as I said to a friend and on my twit, I hope the invaders ‘tapau’ for me a set of Nasi Uduk and a carton [...]

Seriously, ye ye orh!
It is depressing enough looking at the sheer volume of deaths in the papers since yesterday from the Padang earthquake. The photos not only say a thousand words, they probably caused a million tears to those whose families and friends are part of the death toll. But what I found more depressing was that last [...]

neun neun neun
Murphy’s Law, to put it simply states that “anything that can go wrong, went wrong”. I had a bit of Muphy-ism on the neun/neun/neun 090909 day today.
First it was a student who screwed up his exams, and then a situation which threatened quite a bit of problem as it involved a shipment of goods not [...]

The holy cow and 50 ninkampoops
The whole lot of us were at the usual kopitiam which we usually go to after every Friday night’s training. Our dojo gang, I would always refer it to and made up of people of different colours, races, nationalities and religions united under the banner of aikido.
Just as our orders arrived, one of us, scrolling [...]

A few days later
There are no outraged reports in the international media about the stabbing in the Dresden courtroom. Her only crime was that she wore a hijab. A German stabbed her, before she could give her statement in a full courtroom. She was suing him for racism, he stabbed her, pregnant et al– in front of her [...]

He just didn’t get it
Tito just doesn’t get it. In order to mate, he has to get out of the house compound, find himself a tabby he fancies and be done and over with. But nooo.. he paces back and forth in the house, walks angrily around in the garden, howl on top of his lungs, get mad and [...]

About rudeness
Recently, some of us from the same community here teamed up to take part in a carnival which is to happen this Sunday somewhere quite near us. This would be the first experience for all of us participating collectively in a Malaysian event.
To cut the story short, we were disappointed by the tardiness of the [...]

The orator and the rilek one corner syndrome
Other than the camp of the great food and waterfalls and wonderous nature Malaysia has to offer, I am not in any other camps, politics or otherwise where Malaysia is concerned. My mentality here has always been a place of transit before the next land to sink my wandering feet into.
However, I had to admit [...]
