Auld Lang Syne


I want it , I got it! Ha,ha. No more toffee nut latte for me for 2010! I’m very very much looking forward to 2011! Should Old Acquaintance be forgot, and never thought upon; The flames of Love extinguished, and fully past and gone: Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold, that loving Breast…

1Malaysia? I rather just called it Malaysia


Ibrahim was spot-on when he said Peninsular Malaysians were only familiar with very few communities from Sabah and Sarawak. When The Star editors met on Wednesday evening to pick the front page photo for the Thursday edition, none of us Semenanjung folks could confidently identify the ethnic groups represented by the four pretty girls standing in front…

Sayang Kinabalu


I am feeling a little patriotic today, due to the 16 September 1963 that marked the formation of Malaysia (British North Borneo, Sarawak, Singapore and The Federation of Malaya) and later Singapore was expelled from Malaysia in 9 August 1965. Upon the merging of the independent entities to form ‘Malaysia’, a 20-points agreement/memorandum drawn up…

This been killing me this week. Thanks to 1000mg shots of ascorbic acid & caffeine. Burning the night oil has been pushed to the maximum. Pray that I will stay well until the end of final exam for this semester. Or else, pray hard my 24 years of intelligence to help me to bull shit…

Final Decision


I’m moving to Penang this July 2009. There! I had a conversation with my employer and tendering my resignation just now. I told the whole clan yesterday too & somehow it slipped to her ears yesterday. So when I hand-in the resignation letter, she accepted it calmly.  I know it’s such a shame to let go of…

We don’t segregate each other according to race but we…
