I was rather ashamed to have complained about the blackout 2 days ago when Cyn and Jel came over to bathe on Monday night due to stinking water. I found out later that is was a pretty widespread problem all over the Klang Valley and was so thankful that SJ was spared. I cannot imagine [...]

Dear Mr Postman

Dear Mr Postman,
Are you dyslexic? I am wondering why you cannot seem to differentiate your Alphabets and persist in delivering letters meant for Road C to Road B — I would think there is a world of difference between them, most evident when the address is printed. You have made this same *&%#* mistake FOUR [...]
It sucks being an Arowana

Life sucks when you’re a fish — especially when you’re an Arowana. I guess not many people would agree with me. Afterall arowana are supposed to be very expensive fish that bring wealth, luck and happiness to the owner. My friend paid over 2K for a five-inch arowana that has grown to about 20 inches [...]
Are we that shallow?

Well Valentine’s Day is round the corner yet once again — the time of the year when florists, restaurants and chocolatiers make a big killing. I was reading a thread on Valentine’s Day plans in MyPDACafe when I was struck by how shallow and money-minded these guys seem to think women are. When someone asked [...]
Size isn’t everything

Well at least where Mandarin oranges are concerned!
The small ones may be much smaller in size but they sure taste much better than the big orange shown here. For that matter the ordinary Mandarin oranges that we used to buy some years back taste much better than the newer bigger individually wrapped Honey Mandarins [...]
So-called faith healing

This is one of my rare rants so please bear with me. I was rather disturbed last night when a friend told me of a close friend of hers who died of breast cancer recently. That in itself is tragic enough, but what was worse was the shocking story of how she was diagnosed with [...]
Is Bill Gates Sexy?

Came across this picture on my favourite tech site GeekRant.Org but found out the true story behind them on Snopes. They were publicity photos taken in conjunction with the release of Microsoft Windows in 1985. He sure looks like he is asking, “Do you think I’m sexy?”
Home away from home

Reading hubby’s latest MMR blogpost on homesickness brought to mind the homesickness I felt when I was in KL in Med School many moons ago. Not only the overseas students feel homesick you know. It helped a lot that my sis (who was senior to me) and brother were both in KL but still, it [...]
Are you an EN blogger?
Posted in Thoughts on September 19, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Although I am not an avid blog reader, I do read a large variety of blogs from time to time and have come to the conclusion that there are 2 types of blogs. I call them either the EN blogs or the DIS blogs.
EN blogs are those that ENcourage, ENlighten, ENliven, ENrich, ENhance our lives [...]
Telegram anyone?

When was the last time any of you received a telegram? I have not seen them for many years now, the last time probably was over 10 years back when people used them to send messages of condolence. To my utter surprise I found a telegram in my mailbox today. Wow! I did not realise [...]
