I should have put on my seatbelt before I left the petrol station, but home was 30 seconds away and I was in a hurry. I didn’t see the cop until I’d passed him and by then I knew it was too late. His partner pulled me over some 10m ahead.
“Ma’am, you weren’t wearing [...]
I could never do the groupie thing, she realised as she watched the screaming, waving throng. A little jumping, lots of cheering, some singing along, plenty of clapping, that was about the extent of it. Perhaps it just wasn’t in her to offer such devotion to a celebrity, rock star or not; she certainly could [...]
I discovered Twitter quite a while back, but brushed it off as just another Internet fad for: a) kids who had too much time and money on their hands; b) self-obsessed people who think their every move at any moment would actually be interesting to other people.
I get to say things like that [...]
As promised, excerpts from my interview with Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed. These were my questions but it was a group telephone interview so any of the other journos were free to use them. I admit to being a little annoyed sometimes, especially when I read other articles that were written using mostly [...]
I’ve never been one for celebrity reality shows, but I must say Gene Simmons Family Jewels has piqued my interest. The combination of Gene Simmons, who is quite the character, and his close-knit family, the “happily unmarried” partner Shannon Tweed and their two kids Nick and Sophie, make for a pretty interesting [...]
Scenario One:
I was at Bandar Utama New Wing LG carpark looking for a spot when I see this lady getting into her Kancil. Even though I was at a t-junction, I stopped and put on my indicator (she was right ahead of me facing the junction) because I was running late and well, I [...]
Figure out how much you should be paid
It’s a very interesting thought and she’s right, the people benefitting most from non-transparent salaries are the employers themselves, but I wonder if this would really work here.
Salaries are such a closely-guarded secret in the workplace, but why? Even though I suspect I sort of [...]
…and to be honest, I hate blood tests. My first was when I was suspected of having dengue fever sometime during high school and it totally freaked me out. Like, the crying kind of freaked me out. I think my crying traumatised me more than the test itself.
My second was insisted upon by my [...]
We were doing the same ol’ at work on Thursday morning when there was a massive bump against the window. We pulled up the blinds and figured it must have been a bird that flew into the glass. Then we saw it – a Myna lying on its back in one corner of the [...]
I watched Red Cliff today… three hours before I attended a press conference with John Woo, Chang Chen, Lin Chi Ling and Zhang Feng Yi. I thought the movie was absolutely fantastic, though I should also add that I’m a huge fan of Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro. For non-fans, I’d tone down the adjectives [...]
- Writer and mummy. Excited about entertainment, sports and telling other people's stories. Occasionally nerdy. I wish there were 30 hours in a day.
