Almost finished

Well am glad to report that we are in the final stages of the house renovation. They finished with the painting yesterday and are currently installing our new awning – slightly hampered by a short shower this morning which thankfully has stopped. Good thing the weather has been good the last two weeks. Only a [...]

At present my house is in a chaotic state. The other major plumbing surgery is ongoing, not a bypass this time but a whole heart (tank) transplant! Our old rusty metal tank will be replaced by a larger new plastic one. The plumber decided to go through the roof instead of the ceiling for which [...]

A Virginia woman grabbed the world turkey-eating title on Wednesday by gobbling down a whole roast bird in 12 minutes. Sonya Thomas, 37, who weighs just 105 pounds, beat seven men in the annual Thanksgiving Invitational: a race to eat a 10-pound turkey. She is ranked as the No. 2 competitive eater in the world, [...]

Ok so sue me for being fickle. Decided to try out yet another new template from Blogger Templates. I think it looks more cheerful than the last one. I did get a WordPress blog from WordPress.com but as yet am unable to import old Blogger postings. Moreover the available templates are pretty limited and cannot [...]

Following up to my blogpost yesterday about succeeding against all odds, it was very heartening to read in today’s Star of the prompt response from caring Malaysians. Deputy Education Minister Datuk Hon Choon Kim promised to pay for her education up to Varsity level. Hon said he has also instructed his personal assistant to monitor [...]
Against all odds

I came across a very inspiring story in the Star today about 12-year old Priya who scored 7As in the recent UPSR exams. What makes it extra special is the fact that she comes from a poor family background and has to walk 15Km to school from her squatter house everyday, sometimes without having any [...]

Yup President Bush has done it again! (make himself look silly I mean) He tried to make a quick exit from a news conference in Beijing on Sunday – only to find himself thwarted by locked doors.
The president strode away from reporters looking annoyed after one said he appeared “off his game”.
President Bush tugged at [...]
House Facelift: Update

Well it’s been five days since they started renovating the house and all I can say is dust, dust and more dust. Needless to say I have been sweeping, dusting and mopping and the house is still extremely dusty. I’m thankful that today is a day off for the workers – I need a break [...]
Odd balls to roll over to playgrounds

Following up to my previous blogpost on the MPPJ Odd Balls, the Star reported that they were a “mistake”. The balls were an idea that was based on MK Land’s Damansara Perdana landscaping and were supposed to sport the council’s colours and be an artistic representation of Petaling Jaya Municipal Council’s progressiveness – rolling forward [...]
