Protect The Fat Kids From Getting Punished During Chinese New Year

Published on February 7, 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 […]


My Recent Speech at theStar Education Fair

Published on January 13, 2008

UPDATE: If, for some reason you’re interested in me speaking in the first place, I’m speaking at Youth 08 on the 19th January, about prototyping your ideas and the internet. It will be very different from this speech.

The session had already started when I arrived.

Racecar driver Alex Yoong was already on stage, sharing some interesting […]


"Going Behind The Brain Of…"

Published on December 23, 2007

This is a short and exciting game I play with myself. I play it when I feel like some rapid learning.
Playing this game once a week might make you go crazy, I’m not sure, I don’t play it that often. But I allow myself this pleasure once in a while, and I’d like to think it helps […]


Sudden Escape Into Chiling Waterfalls

Published on November 10, 2007

I usually leap outside my comfort zone by choice. Sometimes, I get dragged along.
Last year, my high school buddies dragged me off-track into leech infested areas of a shallow jungle.
This year, the same culprits chose some other jungle.
During the monsoon season.
Accidents have happened here, due to flash-flooding. Don’t make this trip in adverse weather conditions. The river will become impassable when the water level […]


Every Halloween Costume @ Laundrybar

Published on November 1, 2007

You have no idea how I love dressing up, being in character, or dancing like no one is watching…
Last night I did all of the above ;p
That’s not big news though. The shocker = so many people in Klang Valley are just like me!
And they all came out to haunt Laundrybar… fully decked out in Halloween outfits […]


A Morning In The Cemetery : Full Picture Story

Published on April 23, 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 sure what […]


BHPetrol Orange Run 9km Shocker

Published on April 15, 2007

After 2 weeks of trash talking, the big day arrived…
My colleagues and I at MindValley do more than run mySQL queries and AdWords campaigns… we run offline too ;P

7 of us take part in BHPetrol’s 9km Orange Run at TheCurve.

Khailee: I bought new running shorts. I’ll show them to you when you arrive at […]


A Weekend of Food, Alcohol, Music, and Good Vibes

Published on March 22, 2007

I was going berserk making sure kitchen towels and garbage bags were in its right place.
My phone was going berserk coz I gave everyone some DaVinci Code map to get to my place.
I have never hosted a party of this magnitude before.
Good thing the 60+ guests were darlings! How do I know?
You know you’ve invited […]


Twilight Streetside Action With Borneo Rockers

Published on February 10, 2007

Why not go busking at the Bukit Bintang crossroads at 3am, with migrants from Borneo dancing and making song requests? Yeah, why not let’s do that.
Call the gang.

No, it didn’t happen like that.

How to feel alive

Published on January 19, 2007

Imagine… the right music, the right people, the right vibe… all the elements needed to smile for no reason.
When was the last time that happened?
For me, it was 2 hours ago.
Been attending (and organising) quite a few gigs over the past year, and until tonight, I admit I was almost getting used to the live […]
