Of Prosperity Burgers and Morality

December 21st, 2008

Update: Part of this post was featured here in The Malay Mail, thanks Sheila!
If I knew my brief encounter with the Prosperity Burger at McDonalds would haunt me forever, I would’ve never made that order. But you know how it can be difficult to predict the future right? It’s much easier to blog about [...]

Watching out for love

July 10th, 2008

I never thought I would fall in love on the plane.
But yeah I’m on the plane right now, on the way to Sarawak, and guess what.
 
No, it’s not the dude in the magazine.
I know you like looking at pictures, but let me give you the full picture. I think I found love. And it’s [...]

The Death of SMS

July 6th, 2008

Three weeks ago my mobile phone decided not to send SMSes on my  behalf. If you sent me an SMS, I would read it and compose 160 characters of wit just for you… but you would never receive it.
What a pity.
Then the unexpected happened…
I would call you instead!
You send me an SMS right? And I’m [...]

It was a long night.
Nika’s friend had a friend visiting from Poland, it is her first night here in KL. She was walking in front of Bangsar Permai apartments on Jln Tanduk, Bangsar, when 3 men leapt out of the car, armed with a giant curved parang.
She got [...]

Protect The Fat Kids From Getting Punished During Chinese New Year

February 7th, 2008

Poor fat kids.
In my extended Chinese family, the annual exodus back to the village for Chinese New Year is pure hell for fat kids.
Pure. Hell.
My relatives have no mercy on fat kids.
Maybe it’s just my relatives. Or maybe all Malaysian families, not just Chinese ones like mine.
I don’t know. You tell me.
Imagine for a [...]

Dear Grandma

Random Philippino Moments

May 20th, 2007

Rumour has it, he could chew open a coconut with his bare teeth. The legends referred to him as the “Buko King”…
I had to defeat him.
Watch video PROOF… of me taking on the “Buko King”.

I remember other incidents of course. Some even more surreal.
Such as being led by an island singer to a lonely streetside music [...]

A Morning In The Cemetery : Full Picture Story

April 23rd, 2007

Rule number 5 for writing fiction, according to the late Kurt Vonnegut, is to start as close to the end as possible..
I’m not sure if I can get closer to the end than this, considering today’s story begins in a cemetery. 

But then again, this is not a piece of fiction.
Or maybe it is.
I’m not [...]
