Moving New House 2006: In God, We Trust Part 2
I thought the difficult part of shifting to the new house was done and over but I was wrong; it did not turn out exactly like that.
Taxpayers Money 101: Malaysian Astronaut and Teh Tarik – The Truth
(Who have thought the prospect of doing a teh tarik in space? photo source: www.yuffy.com)
When the idea of sending astronauts into space was mooted and deliberated, I joked about it. I was wondering what in the earth that Malaysian Astronauts would be doing up in space. One of things that looked “viable” was doing a “teh tarik” in space. That remained as a joke until couple days ago and I would not have believed the story if it was not reported in the Reuters.Read More »Taxpayers Money 101: Malaysian Astronaut and Teh Tarik – The Truth
Moving New House 2006: In God, We Trust Part 1
(Don’t worry – this has nothing to do with Merdeka or the Budget 2007 but a major house shifting process)
The preparations for my new house are well underway.
The contractor for the renovation of the house has been picked and the price has been agreed. It is nothing major though – I will not be breaking any walls for the house renovations. Just a simple fixing of the kitchen cabinet and the grilles would do under Phase 1.

Personal Grooming 101: Time For A Shave
The whole of last week, I was so busy with work and other stuff (excuses, excuses) that I did not have time to shave.
I started to look like a Neanderthal man – unshaven and the moustache & beard had grown like a wild bush. I started to look sick, so much so some of colleagues started asking me whether I was having a problem or was having a fever. I entered the lift with a senior colleague of mine last week and I noticed she was staring at me and before she could open her mouth, I said “Had no time to shave”. She looked a bit shocked but replied “I was about to ask you on that”. I said to myself “Why I am not surprised?” I need to shave before the start of next week.

Doing Art on Pillow
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and I was feeling a bit drowsy.
It has been sometime since I had this afternoon naps. Often I get my son to sleep and then spend the rest of the day, playing computer games and watching TV. One of the reasons I don’t sleep in the afternoon these days is because I tend to get all lazy when I wake up (often resulting in last minute cancellation of appointments).… [Click to read the rest] “Doing Art on Pillow”

Home Grown Moral Police
You know that somewhere out there, the nation is bleeding money, time and valuable resources just because some people want to be smart and impose their moral values on others. It is made worse when they do it blatantly at the expense of the public – all in the name of “I know what’s best for you”.… [Click to read the rest] “Home Grown Moral Police”
