NaNoWriMo Blues…

November 28, 2006 in NaNoWriMo 2006

Blergh!
Two more days to go… hadn’t written anything in this past week. Was so swamped with work, university assignments and family commitments. As much as I’d like to throw all those out the window and live in utter seclusion to write my novel, I can’t ’cause I’ve got to make a living and poor old [...]

Birthday Blues

November 27, 2006 in Personal Reflections

It’s understandable that when you reach a certain age, mostly by your mid-40s or so, birthdays will lose its shine and will be just like any other day to you.
But it definitely and should not be the case when one is in their mid-20s!!!
So damnit, why do I feel not like celebrating my 24th birthday this Wednesday, 29 November [...]

A Wake Up Call to All Malaysians!

November 21, 2006 in Local Politics, Social Activism & Religious Matter, News Items

Very long post ahead…. You’ve been warned…. 
I love Malaysia.
I really do. And I do very hate to see it going down the rut.
I just wish all Malaysians would just read what an Australian journalist for The Age had to say about the things going wrong in Malaysia. I just can’t bear to hear people say [...]

Latest Celebrity Break-ups…

November 20, 2006 in On Actors & Actresses

Okay, so I rarely – if ever - write about gossips and the private/personal life of celebrities… but this time, I really can’t stay silent about this…what with three famous star couples strolling down Splitsville. The TomKat pair had better learn a lesson or two from these sad marital break-ups so that they too can avoid the same [...]

My NaNo Novel, Chapter 1

November 14, 2006 in NaNoWriMo 2006

The second week of NaNoWriMo is coming to a close tomorrow and the third week shall begin. If you’ve seen the word counter on the right sidebar, you’ll noticed that I have been practically working on a snail’s pace with my NaNo novel. I would’ve liked to have written more but unfortunately, the past couple [...]

Value peace and unity among races

November 9, 2006 in Local Politics, Social Activism & Religious Matter

My letter to The Star was published this morning. It touched upon the recent hoo-ha caused by Johor Mentri Besar over his protest against Bangsa Malaysia, which he thinks will result in an unhealthy mish-mash of races and dilute the Malay identity.
Obviously, such remarks put paid to any hopes Barisan Nasional’s efforts to integrate and unite all [...]

Sakasama No Chou – Jigoku Shoujo (Opening Theme) – Song Lyrics

November 5, 2006 in Otaku Corner, Songs, Lyrics, Music & MTV

Well, as I am busy with my NaNo’ing throughout this month, updates on my blog will be very infrequent and there could be periods of a few days silence. Besides that, trying to write a 50,000 word novel has taken a toll on me…I just can’t think of anything else that would be an engaging [...]

WTF?? Who the heck bans Spongebob Squarepants and The Wiggles??

November 3, 2006 in Bookworm Confessions, Local Politics, Social Activism & Religious Matter

And that’s not all the bloody damned Kementerian Hal-Ehwal Dalam Negeri (Home Affairs Ministry of which the Prime Minister is in charge of) banned… for the full list, visit here courtesy of Silverfish Books. I’m a bit late in commenting this, but at least am commenting about it, no?
So idiotic. So silly. So stupid. So [...]
