What Do I Do At Work?
It’s 6.30 and I’m jazzed up by beer and junk, at the office waiting for dinner. So I figured, what better time to answer the most frequently asked question in my life? “What do I do at work?” Honestly, guys, that’s one question I get really, really, often from parents, relatives, friends, acquaintances, people I...
Bali Awesomeness: My 4 Days In My Favorite Island (After Penang)
Hey y’all! It’s been awhile… but that’s because I’ve been two B things — busy, and in Bali. For those of you who don’t already know, this is my second time in Bali (and it won’t be my last either by the looks of it), and I totally love the island. No, it’s not just...
My First Marketing & Media Presentation At MindValley: Public Relations & Your Testimonials
I’m sure by now you know that I’m working full time at MindValley – and have been for the past 8 months. Every Thursday, we have a marketing meeting with the entire marketing & media team to share ideas and train the rest of the team. If you know how much I fear / loathe...
Do Something EPIC — VOTE
Did you know that if you register for voting ONE month, TWO months or even THREE months before the General Elections, you’re still not eligible? What are you waiting for? What’s all the procrastination about? My dear fellow Malaysian, 4.39 million Malaysians over the age of 21 have yet to register as voters. That’s roughly...
Lessons Learned From Love And Loss
On the first day of Chinese New Year, I scrambled downstairs (in jammies and all) to my Dad’s pretty excited calls. I found my mum’s cousin, Aunty Juju, at the gate. No she didn’t come bearing ang pow. It was better than that. She came bearing this. A beautiful, two-colored, 3-month-old female Beagle! I instantly...
Things Bee Sim Says That Crack Me Up
If you know Bee Sim like I do, she’s full of critical nonsense. She just sent me the video of “We Are The World 25″ for Haiti It’s a really good song, mind you, and I love that Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie placed all the strong vocalists in the beginning, where I feel more...
Malaysian Politicians Down With Chronic, and HIGHLY Contagious Cases of Verbal Diarrhea
I don’t think it’s just contagious. I think it’s hereditary too. This is what I mean: Take #1 — Rais Yatim’s urge for a “wider use of the National language in the private sector” to further dignify it. The ministry — with the cooperation of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) — would carry out continuous...
‘Cause People Got Me Questioning, “Where Is The Love?”
Yesterday, my colleague Lisa stumbled upon a comment on one of the blogs MindValley manages. An (I’m assuming) American woman posted this comment that left me pretty aghast. Here’s the most appalling excerpt: In fact, I was so horrified at this woman’s completely misguided and misled portrayal of Islam and Malaysia that I felt compelled...
#7: Ending The Old, Ushering In The New
New Years’ Eves are awesome events. The first day of the year (and in this case, the decade) is equally as awesome. That being said, I love 2009. 2009 has got to be the most eventful and the speediest year of my short almost-22 years on Earth. In fact, it passed so quickly that I...
#6 Driving Old Vehicles
As many of you know, I drive an 18-year-old, 1st generation, Japanese-made Proton Saga that was handed down to me by my mum (who got an upgrade courtesy of the father to an SUV). I’ve driven it around the Klang Valley, the North South highway and Penang for 4.5 years already, and it’s served me...
#5 Waking Up To Blue Skies
I love waking up to blue skies. Literally. My current apartment is located on the 16th floor, and I unfortunately get the morning sun as it faces east and there is no adjacent building to block out the light. But there’s a bright (pun unintended) side to all that sun. I’m greeted by the bluest...
