Summer Blog Episode 11 – Headphones and Lipsticks, Testicles and Handbags (Final Episode III)

July 2nd, 2010 No Comments

On the Friday before our two weeks summer holiday to Europe, what a beautiful morning it was.  Life had been hectic, up until that morning.  I felt so lifted that morning.  And as I walked towards our car, I stopped, and realized that I have forgotten to bring something important to work. “Oops. Where are [...]

Summer Blog Episode 10 – A Piece Of Work (Final Episode II)

July 1st, 2010 6 Comments

What is a piece of work? My friend Barbara from Philippine did some research and noted to me that it either means “someone who, although often interesting, is difficult to get along with on an every day basis” or “a remarkable person, achievement or product”. For some strange reasons, in my mind, when I asked [...]

Summer Blog Episode 9 – Shortsightedness Versus Spelling Handicap (Final Episode)

June 30th, 2010 2 Comments

I too am shortsighted.  So I am not here to poke fun at you, if you are or know someone who is shortsighted too. Looking at the number of people around me who require optical aid or surgical treatment to see properly, I cannot help but to wonder from time to time what would happen [...]

Summer Blog Episode 8 – I Am Your New Minister For Transport

June 29th, 2010 8 Comments

I had a dream.  I had become the new Minister for Transport. *     *     *     *     * Dear citizens, I have great news to announce.  As a small child, when I see that an average citizen has to pay up to $100,000 to buy an average Japanese car, I see something is not right.  For [...]

Summer Blog Episode 7 – Organic Vegetable Noodle With Soup

June 28th, 2010 4 Comments

Recently I have been experimenting in becoming a quasi-vegetarian.  There had been in the past heated debate between my friends and I on how healthy, or rather not healthy some vegetarian dishes are.  Granted.  San meat does not mean that it is good for health.  To take one level up, recently I have been experimenting [...]

Summer Blog Episode 6 – Who Created Zipper At The Back Of A Dress?

June 26th, 2010 2 Comments

These cannot be coincidences, the more I think about it. If you are a man, imagine wearing or taking off a shirt with a long zipper all the way up from your waist to the back of your neck.  Or from the low side of your hip all the up to your armpit.  Whoever designed [...]

Summer Blog Episode 5 – Lifts Going Crazy

June 24th, 2010 2 Comments

This is a true story. The problem was not without warning.  At first I discovered that the buttons that called the lifts were not as responsive.  At times when I pressed the button, it remained dull, and nothing happened.  As if determined by some random events behind the electrical circuits, the button would light up, [...]

Summer Blog Episode 4 – I Am A Wallpaper

June 23rd, 2010 8 Comments

Year 2000, Kevin Bacon played the character of Hollow Man.  Being invisible, this fictional scientist takes full advantage of his new found ability doing stuffs that he would not be able to do, including spying on his female neighbor.  Rumor says that there is a deleted rape scene too.  The film prompted me to read [...]

Summer Blog Episode 3 – My Table In My Primary School

June 22nd, 2010 No Comments

My memory of my primary school life has been fuzzy.  Of the few fragments that I remember, there were those wooden tables that we used at school, unlike perhaps the fine furniture students use today.  The surface though smooth, was uneven.  You could trace the texture of the wood and you could see the little [...]

Summer Blog Episode 2 – A Harem Full Of Girls And A Hard Disk Full Of Music

June 21st, 2010 No Comments

Cynthia often pokes fun at my ears.  She says my ears are promiscuous.  I used to buy many compact disks regularly.  My favorite pastime since the day when compact disk format was made popular was to camp at record stores, staring at the nicely wrapped disks trying to decide if I should buy just one [...]
