I read in The Sun newspaper this morning that 2,000 Selamat Hari Raya cards posted by Khalid, the Selangor MB, to his constituents were found dumped outside an apartment. Instead of anyone getting all pissy about it, I think the Selangor government can greatly benefit from this by turning this into a memorable Public Relations exercise.Here's what I suggest:1.

All my life, I attended a public primary and secondary school. A while ago, I started thinking about some of the crap we endured as students and it made me wonder... Why didn't any of us say anything? Why did we just sit back and take it?I'm writing this because most school-going kids these days have Internet access and a sense of good judgement, both of which are more than what I had when I was

On 14 Jan 2009, my neighbourhood organised a Dialogue with the local Police on neigbourhood security. I found out about it thanks to the TTDI group on Facebook. That evening, a few of us attended a BEC meeting, then adjourned to the Dialogue. We were surprised to see a table laden with not just snacks, but solid food like rice, fried chicken and etc. I wondered if the point of that was to get

Phew! What a mad few weeks it's been. The Big Bad Recession is looming, but according to my aunts who are visiting from overseas, nobody here acts like there's hard times ahead. I certainly agree.

I read somewhere once that childless people are really good at criticizing others' parenting skills, but once they have children themselves, it's the last time they ever claim to know the best parenting solution. One area in particular people love commenting on is on how spoilt a child is and the way in which parents deal with the brat.So, this article is both for parents of young children and

As I was getting a haircut last Sunday, I made a shocking discovery: I have a phobia of getting my hair cut.Lets rewind to what my haircuts are about. From the year 2004 till 20 August 2007, I have only been to a hairdresser twice. No, I'm not one of those people whose hair takes 6 months to grow 1 inch. My hair grows pretty quickly. All the other times in those 3 years that I had an overgrown '

Absurd travel rules are getting people all around the world worked up. One that astounded me was the rule about not more than 100ml liquids on carry-on luggage. I can think of a million reasons this will inconvenience people more than keep them safe, and I'm sure you can too.What amazed me even more was the utter idiocy of the bloody American government. Thankfully, it seems like Americans think

It's been one week since my last ciggarette. It's been pretty easy so far, mainly because I haven't been put to the ultimate test - not smoking while clubbing / drinking.Let's see how long it'll last this time.A little hiccup I encountered last night: I dreamt that I couldn't hold back any longer and lit one up. It was so damn real that I woke up feeling guilty as hell. Man, was I relieved that

Since the whole reason people go nuts over sneak previews is so that they can brag about watching a movie before anyone else, I shall join the bandwagon and proclaim:I watched Pirates of the Caribbean : At World's End last night!

I had been prodding Reyhan to get tickets for 300 (the movie with lots of washboard muscle and a nifty lesbian scene) for over a week. Yesterday, I managed to spin him into action after reading on MSN that some Iranians were getting pissy because the movie portrayed Persians in a bad light and distorted history. I told him I was afraid people would decide to ban it here, because it's already

Do you use Maxis Hotlink as your mobile phone service? Beware the Hotlink Rewards. A month ago, I wanted to redeem RM10 talktime (this requires 1000 points). After I sent the request to *100#, I received an SMS saying that only RM5 had been topped up to my account. But 1000 points had been deducted!After it happened again, I went to the Maxis website to inform them and to get my damn rewards.

The family was all in favour of 7.30pm mass on the Eve instead of the usual midnight shindig. Bugger. Since I hadn't the time to get a Christmas outfit, I opted for something which looked like it came straight out of the clubbing scene. For the first time in ages, we sat outside church for Christmas mass. How sad was that!After mass, we hopped over to my house, where we had pie-less dinner and

Weeks of planning, cleaning the house, and getting yelled at by Mum had ended. It was time for our yearly Christmas party! I had planned to get a turkey from Cold Storage on Keith's advice, but I cleverly thought that ordering it the day before the party would guarantee delivery in under 24 hours. I found out they need 5 days. Lesson learnt.The party was a huge success. Our 'special event' this

A few months ago, I got bored of clubbing. The late nights, wasted cash and mother-effing hangovers just weren't doing it for me anymore. I also hated the fact that on almost every occasion, my mum would just be disappointed and pissed off the next day because I had yet again shirked my responsibilities at home (going to the market, cleaning my room, laundry etc) As I was hanging over today (a

Two weeks ago, Dalveen, Josh*, Jeremy* and I went out clubbing. Dalveen and Josh left in one car while Jeremy and I left in another. About half an hour after we parted ways, I got a call from Josh saying his gearbox transmission has messed up and the car could only go in reverse. So off we went, Jeremy and I, to rescue the two.While waiting for the tow truck at 6am, we started joking around about

The stealer of Blook Bangsar was caught on tape. She's Indonesian and has a child. She doesn't want to return the phone, saying she's thrown it away and asking if its OK to pay up 300 bucks for it.

Last night, Dalveen and Fiona went shopping at Blook in Bangsar. After they paid and left, Dalveen realised she'd left her phone on the counter so she rushed back for it. The cashier had gone to Guardian Pharmacy, and the other staff there swore no one would take the phone (the phone had been switched off by then. What does that tell you?)Dalveen has requested a CCTV viewing today with the

Referring to 30 Aug, thanks a lot for the suggestions... Not! I didn't get even half an idea from the dead cat under the bleachers. Still busy as a dwagg, but Pada Ta ta taa! I'm still lovin' it!I dropped by MSN.com on 11 Sep, and those assholes are still going on about 9-Eleven. Every section had something on the bloody (tee hee) day.

Two great colleagues left the company, and I'm now Project Exec. Long hours, lots to learn, writing reports like there's no tomorrow. It's mighty different from copywriting, I tell you. Lovin' it.My company takes up two floors: The projects managers and sales department below, and the creative team upstairs. It's fun to have moved down (but up, ha ha).On to other news, Dalveen has taken a PR job

You know these emails which go around warning females to beware of snatch thieves? Well, I've always paid attention to them to find out their latest tricks - things like "Watch out for 2 guys on a motorbike" and so forth.This helped me feel slightly less suspicious of a lone guy on a bike - I figured he might not try anything because balancing a bike and leaning sideways while trying to grab a

I went shoe shopping last week with Fiona. No, it wasn't retail therapy and I wasn't in a spend-spend-spend mood. I was just sick of having 2 pairs of busted shoes. Anyway, Vincci it was.This is what we've noted:1. Vincci thinks that at least 40% of women have size 4 and below feet.2. They believe that ALL women have slender & narrow feet. Bunions are non-existent in Vincci-world. I saw a pair of

Saturday afternoon was a very weird experience for me. And it really frightened me. Someone I know did something totally wack, un-Godly, and out of my league (and possibly theirs) for a person they love. That night, a thought crossed my mind: If you ask for something, you might have to give a certain something in return. And when it is asked of you, you might not want to give it, so you need to

Why is it that in the past few years, every pop solo or group act has felt the pressing need to cut a "Best Of" compilation of their 'greatest hits'? There used to be a time when "Best Of" albums were compilations of songs which really meant something, songs which showcased amazing, unsurpassed talent. Today, most Best-of albums are pure shit. Which even my deaf dog can't bear.Let's make a little

Critics hated Da Vinci Code. Sam and Melissa didn't like it either. And I'll bet half the movie-fan community thought it sucked. Ha ha! What a waste of energy on the parts of:1. The Vatican (300 old men)2. Assorted religious persons from various countries e.g. bishops, cardinals, priests, nuns (550,000 women and men)3. Weird Christians (1 million)4. Albinos (4,000)5.

I take the bus to work every day, even though it means I have to live in constant fear. Today, I saw a sign on an inside window:Call 1-800-388-228 if Driver- Doesn't print ticket- Drives dangerously- Is rude Excellent! The bus service is really picking up then... NOT!What about a number to call if the bus breaks down (which happens pretty often)? What about a number to call if the bus is late?

The Sunday after I read it, I went to church and actually started wondering if my faith has been a piece of elephant shit (those things are way bigger than plain old bull shit) lie which has been successfully yanked through 2000 years.You know which line really hit me?

I'm leaving NZ. Cried at least 2 buckets: At immigration, at security, when getting on the plane, when we took off, through 40% of the flight, when we landed at Singapore, when i was transitting, when i got on the flight to KL. Jesus. It was so bad, a flight attendant on Air NZ came round later with the drinks and asked if i was ok. How embarassing. I knocked back 2 glasses of wine and slept it

Woke up at 10.20. We were supposed to be at Arnold's place at 9am to help decorate for Josh's bday party. SHIT. Made a dash for it, and it turned out ok, although i freaked out when a bunch of kids appeared out of nowhere and started talking... ALL AT ONCE. I calmed down after a while and it turned out all good. Karen and Arnie were left without dinner so Chamba and i cooked them chicken curry.

Went to the drags at night. I felt like I was in a Fast and Furious movie. Watched a couple before we had to dash off. It was a blast! Prenny and Chamba reckon I was pretty lucky because they rarely have a park up. Coppers get a sniff of illegal activity too quickly. I heart illegal activities :D

Kitty and Khooty's last day in the city together. I had developed a craving for boots... and Hannah's was having a sale: Buy 1, Get 2nd pair at Half Price. Can you guess what happened next? NZ$60 each, we paid. A jolly good bargain.Chamba couldn't resist: we went to Orbit - the revolving restaurant atop Sky Tower for dinner.This time we borrowed a camera. Perfect dinner. I had salmon and Chamba

I'd plotted with Eddie to bring Faith to Aotea Square before work (8.30am!!!) so we could Happy Birthday her with the cake. It worked! Perfectly! She Loved It, even though she said she couldn't fully jump around as she was hanging over. No worries, neither could I. Gah. Hangovers. Went to a Mallu function in the evening... purely for the food. Yum. Met up Alex :) Then the SOK (suck) boys decided

Hopped over to the Cheesecake Shop to get a cake for Faith. Went clubbing later and parked on a bus lane. Loaded Hog is shit now so we hopped over to Waterfront which rocked. Everyone but Chamba and I wanted to leave at about 3-ish so off they went. 10 min later, Pren txts us - the cars have been towed. SHIT. We made a plan and got them back at the low, low price of NZ$55 per person (multiplied

Faith's early bday celebration. Dinner at Mexican Cafe (yes, that's the name of the restaurant/bar. Can you guess what they serve?) 80% of the menu items sounded similar to one another so i was pretty stuck for choice because everything sounded nice-ish! I got some beef thing in a warm roll which was nicee! Faith got chicken in a tequila sauce. yum. I had my first Mojito. Super refreshing due to

Harvin came over to Prenny's to be egged for his birthday. We had dinner at his place - another tight spread courtesy of his mum. Plus, uncle decided to drink so we got a bottle of brandy. Yum-my. i got tipsy quick. Damn, its good shit.Went to Geo's friend's place. Which was full of Malluz. God help me, they were speaking Mallu and I stood next to Chamba like a dumb blonde.

Good Friday holiday and 1st day of the Easter break for the boys. Harvin, Prenny, Preena, Chamba + me went to Mission Bay. I decided to go vegetarian and got a quiche. The boys had fish n chips (what else - its Mission Bay!) The longest queue I'd ever seen for Movenpick. We jumped into the madness. Mucked about by the beach... Prenny tried to chuck me into the sea.

Went to uni with the guys, hung out at the Hub and all the other uni haunts. Met up a huge bunch of people including Ronnie, Sanju, Sajid, Majid and Marc. Just like old times, not a care in the world. I wanna go back to uni!!Faith shouted me Korean lunch (yum) + movie - March of the Penguins. Excellent date :D

Dinner at a surprise location for Chamba's birthday. A buffet at the Observatory atop the Sky Tower - the highest restaurant in Auckland. Chamba was speechless. In a good way. He'd never guessed, even though i'd hinted that it was in the city :D damn, i'm good. Ate like pigs, both of us. We even took regular smoke breaks (convenient smoking location) and came back for more. I loaded up the

Steak over a cheese thingy for me and Portuguese grilled chicken for Chamba. Yum again! Dessert was Movenpick ice cream (just 2 doors away) Double yum.

Although he was in dreamland. ha ha.Went to visit Faith at work. I cried. Havnt seen her in more than a year. Visited Uncle Arnold & Karen & Josh too :D I'm in heaven.
