If the shoe fits…

I always chuckle when I hear girls complaining about how people are staring at their legs, boobs, ass and whatever other bits they have hanging out. Look, if you want to wear a short skirt, you can’t expect the hot-blooded dude on the MRT to avert his eyes. If you’re flashing cleavage, then Joe Blow [...]

Falling short

I’ve never thought very highly of air stewardesses, or flight attendants – as they prefer to be called these days. To add to my disdain, I have on several occasions – because of my 1.71 m  frame – been the victim of the terrible pick-up line, “Excuse me, are you a stewardess?”. Firstly, do I [...]

Blinded by the Light

Colin came home from his Wesley small group meeting on Friday rather perturbed. These small groups are weekly gatherings where members get together to discuss issues and raise questions relating to God and religion in general. It seems that, however, these meetings have turned more into social gatherings of sorts (this was even brought up [...]

Hepatic lipidosis, a gourmet indulgence

I was on Facebook earlier today, exploring what I’m sure must be hundreds of existing applications. Most of them are just for laughs and silly fun. But there are also some applications that support various causes. I believe that even if you are not in a position to do something, you can definitely help by [...]

The slaughter of dolphins in Japan

Colin sent me this video today. I guess he knows that I’m a sucker for most things marine.
This brutal massacre takes place every year in the village of Taiji, Japan. Having seen these beautiful, intelligent beings up close in the wild, it sickened me all the more. Even if you don’t think you have the [...]

The Milo saga – chapter 2

I received an e-mail from the people at Nestlé today, in response to the dissatisfaction that I’d expressed about the new formula Milo (see previous post). But as expected, my feedback has been brushed aside. Alas, I am just one voice. Old school Milo drinkers unite, I say! If we whinge loud enough and [...]

What have they done to my Milo?!

I read an article about the “new formula” Milo in a local paper a few weeks ago. More malt, more milk, apparently. The writer hated it. Having grown up on the chocolatey beverage myself, I didn’t think it could be that bad.
Anyone who knows me knows that I take my Milo very seriously – my [...]

Priceless

I bumped into some people today who are distantly related to Colin, but whom I didn’t really have an opinion about. That changed today – I now have an opinion about them and they rank just below ‘pond scum’ on my list.
It was about 7:45 am and I was at the arrival hall at the [...]

Cheesed Off

First, there was the ban on using pan-asian faces in local ads. Now, Malaysia’s advertising policies are going one step further – Ronald McDonald, Colonel Sanders and other fast food moguls may no longer be able to rake in any ad dollars on Malaysian television. Word around the campfire is that local radio and tv [...]

Devastated

During lunch today, Marcie and I heard some work-related news that left us a little gobsmacked (the next three months are going to be interesting!). That was the first stunner of the day.
Then, while I was at Lau Pa Sat earlier this evening, I noticed a group of line dancers getting jiggy wit’ it. Uncles, [...]
