Congratulations Al-Joharah!
Friday, November 21st, 2008It’s nice to see more and more women up there in the world. Condoleezza Rice is really something, but for Al-Joharah, who is Muslim from a Muslim country gets up, even if it isn’t as high up, it shows the world is changing. Slowly but surely.

In Malaysia, anything is possible….
Friday, November 21st, 2008Remember me telling you earlier about how people are only friends with you for a reason? Well this has happened to us before in my family, and even to me personally.
Even Razak Baginda says that he used to get hundreds of Hari Raya cards before his trial and during this hard time, he got about […]
Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace 007
Monday, November 17th, 2008I love Hollywood flicks as much as I love the deeper British productions because I love analysing creativity. Taking apart entire finished products and criticising them is what I was taught to do at University.
Quantum of Solace
The music at the beginning was already weak and that put me off - not catchy, not zany, not […]
Scrimping on handphone bills
Monday, November 10th, 2008Usually, I have pretty average mobile phone bills. I only call a hand full of people and because I hate using the phone to talk, don’t use it much for that purpose. What I HAVE been doing a lot lately is sms-ing, only because we are in the midst of a family crisis and there […]
Book your Jersey Boys tickets early, folks!
Thursday, October 18th, 2007Have you heard of the Jersey Boys? They’re a famous rock and roll band in the 1960’s, way before we were born……but some of our modern day songs are taken from theirs, people. Walk like a man, Big girls don’t cry……
Anyway, the Jersey Boys today is a popular musical touring the USA starting November so get […]
Since when did Halloween come to Malaysia?!
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007When I was Tee’s age, Halloween did not exist. It was just a fairytale that we heard of and knew was American. These days, even International Poop Day is celebrated in Malaysia.
So my girl has been observing all these Halloween posters around town announcing parties what with all the orange pumpkin buckets laid out at […]
What do you think of Magicians like the Mad Hatter?
Sunday, October 14th, 2007
For her birthday this year, Tee wanted a magician to perform at her party. She seems to have an interest in magic, I think from the many times her Daddy has lied to her. Like when he bullshits her about Barney driving the red Ferrari on Formula One or when he commands her to count […]
How many credit cards do you have?
Friday, October 5th, 2007I have three but I only use one. One for gaining access into the lounges at airports, one for emergencies and one for our day-to-day use. Which should also really be classified as ‘for most dire circumstances when cash becomes invisible in wallet’. I’m not much of a credit card person because I personally prefer […]
An IT bimbo like me would never have known this
Friday, October 5th, 2007But allow me to share since I’ve had the chance of knowing a computer hacker. I met S, an Indian national, who just arrived from Sillicon Valley to open a local office at the Petronas Twin Towers. He eventually became a friend and shocked me when he told me that hackers, depending on their grade […]
A man I truly respect
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Have you heard of Ananda Krishnan? Well, it’s not him. But there is someone in town known as ‘the other’ AK or ‘the other’ Krishnan. He is non other than the owner of Eversendai Corporation. Look him up. He is one of the most humblest and most polite gentleman I’ve ever come across and he is very loaded. […]
Road rage and naked child public punishment
Thursday, September 27th, 2007The latter will scare and infuriate you to no end. These are true stories happening right here in Kuala Lumpur.
We’ll start with the lesser of evil.
Kampung Pandan roundabout
Whilst driving today, I witnessed a road bully. Malay male on a motorbike stopped 90 degrees in front of a green Iswara that housed a blur looking old man. The bloke […]
Of sponsored posts AGAIN! Let me rape you….
Monday, September 17th, 2007Some of my readers feel that when I do not fore-warn them that a post below is a sponsored post, they feel cheated, used, dirty and downright manipulated. Did I tell you I was a serial rapist in my past life? I raped women.
I think that as a reader of my blog, one has to be […]
Last post here - Blog suspended
Sunday, August 5th, 2007Friend from New York just left. Another friend from New York arriving. Busy….then we’re off for a holiday.
I am working on the new blog. My old blog was transferred but now I’ve decided that I want a new look so I’m learning…….HTML code. It will be awhile, folks, before the new site is up. Fingers […]
Bridge collapses in the USA
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007Hrrmmph……I have always had this fear in KL, especially with the state of corruption in our lovely land. And ESPECIALLY since I was in the construction industry, and KNOW exactly how contractors cheat and take short cuts. It’s all about making money. Not safety. And it’s a lot more blatant than I’ll have you know.
So […]
Premier Banking - what the fuss is
Monday, July 23rd, 2007I spent more than an hour at the bank today and finally got to see the insides of a ‘Premier’ bank. Have you ever wondered why there was a difference? What is Premier Banking?
Once, I followed a friend into a bank and it was the quickest, swiftest bank visit ever. I asked him - what […]
Malaysian Police Force
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007Whilst stationery behind a copper at a traffic light, a car in front of the copper turned right crossing a double line, then made a 3 point turn, causing traffic to hold behind him. And got off scott free.
THEN.
The copper beat the red light.
WTF!!!
I took down the copper’s number plate, time and place; and will […]
Oops! Miss USA fell on her butt!
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007I watched Donald Trump’s Miss Universe 2007 tonight and screamed, “AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” when Miss USA fell on her butt. Ouch.
It clearly hurt but she was so graceful about it and her smile didn’t show after that she had lost an ounce of confidence. Inconsiderate audience for boo-ing her later.
I liked her. But I was happy that […]
Everything from China is condemned
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007Ever since my MIL returned from a holiday in China, she’d been harping on and on about how dirty the way they prepared food was, how they put dogs into cans, how they used infinite amounts of chemicals in anything that can earn them an extra buck, how they fed steroids to pigs and fruit…..etc.
So………..we’re […]
