Lost In Penang.

Published on January 31, 2008

Here I go again.
(Not to Penang, I mean. I haven’t been on this island for many years.)
Its “here I go again - wandering around some path I randomly followed”.

It’s getting late, and I might be heading to the club Slippery Senioritas with some MDeC guys.

I had to learn this the hard way, losing badly in board games like Risk, Imperial, Monopoly, and mafia :(
In the future, I will […]


Confessions I have to make

Published on January 20, 2008

Lately, a few write-ups and incidents have left me feeling somewhat ahead of myself. Pretentious. I’m not suggesting that the recent publicity/ newspaper write-ups etc have been misleading. Not at all…
