From the yearly archives: 2007
As I type, I am watching The Sound of Music on Star Movies. I accidentally stumbled across it while channel surfing, and it completely floors me that a three-hour film made in 1965 keeps me stuck to my sofa in 2007, forsaking all other channels and a much-needed shower.
I must have seen this movie [...]
When I finally got a cab yesterday morning (the ten minutes I waited is the longest I’ve ever had to wait for a taxi at that particular bus stop/taxi stand), the cabbie, who had seen me try one other cab before him only to be turned down, gave me some advice:Offer cabbies an extra RM2 [...]
Some guy from UAE tried to pick me up today in a Coffee Bean queue. He insisted on paying for my food, even after I pointed out to him that I was married. I think it was an ego thing. And of course, he hadn’t noticed my engagement ring and wedding band before he started [...]
As a writer with HELLO! magazine, I am ‘strongly encouraged’ to identify (or better still, get to know) entertainment types, corporate bigshots and miscellaneous Very Important Persons, usually with titles preceding their names.

Of late, I have had urges… to throw myself into something and give everything I have to be the best I can be. I say ‘urges’ because the determination flows and ebbs. I say ‘of late’ because I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way before. Well, not in recent years anyway.
You could say [...]
You probably don’t know this, but I’ve been taking cabs to work and back almost every day since I started working. Most people pull funny faces of disbelief when they hear that, and I would very much want to know: why is it so surprising that I’m taking taxis? I know lots of people who [...]
God really cares when I go to church in shorts and slippers if half the pews are filled with hypocrites?
God really cares when I go to church in shorts and slippers if I am the hypocrite?
You criticise what I wear to church when you hide your mess behind the ‘right’ clothes and makeup.
You talk to me like I’m second-rate because I miss a church service when all the services you have attended seems to have done nothing for you.
You go to almost pathetic lengths to put up the [...]
