Does Your Home Have Mojo?

If I have not been all together blogging much, do forgive me. I’ve been tied up with website projects and recently with all manner of stuff related to our new apartment. Well, it’s not exactly new as in brand new but it’s finally some place we can call Home. Which is very surprising to most [...]

Seeing Through Holes

Eyes. Can’t see without them. 90% of what we get from the world we get through our eyesight. When I was at St Nicholas Home for the Blind recently, I was truly grateful for my vision though I wear contact lenses. It’s like, sure, I don’t have perfect vision but these children are blind. Some [...]

Medalin called me this morning, to thank me for spending time talking to her 20-something son. He had taken over the family business just a few years ago. He’d come around yesterday to our office and we shared with him our beliefs and philosophy of running a business. Actually he had come to ask our [...]

Look What I Bought for RM87

Didn’t mean to buy so many books but I could not help myself when I went to my regular secondhand bookstore. If I didn’t stop myself, I would have bought more. And a few more old issues of the O magazine by Oprah. And In-Style, too. One of the most exciting finds was this tiny [...]

I wrote ‘What Makes a Good Writer’ over at the business blog before I realized it’s also quite relevant for this blog. Check it out and let me know your thoughts, particularly if you are a fellow writer.

Putting You In A Great Mood

I love classical music but this has to be one of my personal favourites. For a quiet, undemanding Sunday of Internet surfing. For a good deep breath. For a great way to relax without doing the retail therapy grind (which I have been doing for the past few days and eating myself a bit silly). [...]

12 Money Saving Tips… Add On Yours?

I emailed this over to a writer friend as she was preparing for a magazine article. Little did I know I missed her deadline! And as always, she only asked for one money-saving tip but I gave her 12. I know, I am a bit over-lah! So instead of throwing it all away, I am [...]

Prose and Poetry in Cat City

This is quite late a post but I have very limited Internet access in Kuching. Don’t ask me why. It’s either some bloody dial-up (which works not) or have to go to a cafe with wifi access. Going to Kuching can be quite trying for me, at times. I wrote this post on 3 Aug [...]

120 Malaysians, 1 Hope, 0 Money

Among all the artistes in this video, Ning’s my fave. But then again, I’ve always liked her vocal power. The lyrics are kind of strange but the chorus gets my nod for being the right sort. The sort which sticks in your head and plays itself over and over. March 8, 2008 has changed Malaysians [...]

Cursed Brilliance

While I try to keep my blog lighthearted and full of fun banter, it’s sometimes difficult to be like that when I read news about brilliance coming to nought. This morning, I read about Math prodigy Sufiah Yusof whom according to a report, has now turned to prostitution. What saddened me most was the last [...]
