By now you would probably have heard about the cow’s head temple demo incident, where a group of people marched with a severed cow’s head, took turns stepping on it and threatened bloodshed in the name of Islam. All because they didn’t want a Hindu temple relocated to (their) Section 23 in Shah Alam.

The first time I went with hubby to the emergency room because he’d strained a back muscle playing basketball and couldn’t move – this is after he underwent surgery for a torn ankle ligament and subsequently sprained his other ankle several times – I tried to get the doctor to tell hubby basketball is [...]
2AM. They don’t speak English too well but they sure can sing.
Estranged. This is the actual view from where my seat was. So I found a better corner and maximised my camera’s zoom function.
Raygun. Their single ‘Just Because’ is really growing on us in the office.
Pixie Lott. She’s [...]
There are several reasons why I love doing what I do. Meeting talented, interesting and nice people (good-looking is just a bonus) and getting to hear their stories probably ranks on top. I’ve never been very good at telling my stories; I always feel the dramatic ones are overly melodramatic and almost everything else is [...]
I turned 27 last week. It feels the same as when I was 26, not that I was expecting it to be any different. When I turned 21, I said it was probably going to be my last “big” birthday celebration until I turn 70 because after 21, the years just seem to blend into [...]
This is J, Y and C poring (pawing) over the new iPhone 3GS. This is me being bored so I took a photo of them. I’ve never been one to get gadget envy but I must confess, I’m starting to develop a real hankering for a phone that allows me decent Internet access and, [...]
This photo was taken last Tuesday along Jalan Sultan Ismail as I bravely – some would say foolishly – tackled Kuala Lumpur city centre traffic at 6pm. It eventually took me an hour to cover the 20km home but occupying myself with such pursuits everytime I stopped at a light definitely helped.
I know some women who do, but Y says men generally do not have the same concern. Why should they, he says, they can be 40 and still date a girl in her 20s. Age is not a factor. In fact, for some women, the older a man is, the more attractive he becomes. So [...]
There’s nothing like a death to remind us of our mortality, to put things into perspective, to shake us out of our complacency. And recently, there have been too many. Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett, Yasmin Ahmad and now, Jeffrey Lee. Of course, there were others in between and Jeff was hardly a celebrity, but [...]
This was taken using Y’s mobile phone one slightly gloomy Sunday as we had lunch. I would say we found it, except really, it found us. And it stayed for a little while. Isn’t it a beauty?
