I love staying in the capital city....at times

To be honest, I hate living in Selangor or KL. A lot may beg to differ. Who doesn’t want to live in a big city, where all the fuss and buzz are? Well, not me.

Why do I prefer small and quiet town to happening and vibrant KL? Simple!!
I don’t like to get caught in a traffic jam to and from work.
I don’t like to queue up ALL the time.
I don’t like to wait so long to get a carpark on a weekend in shopping centers.
I don’t like the fact that it needs more than 30 minutes drive to get to places....Read More...

I miss my grandpa

I miss him, especially during Chinese New Year. There’s no doubt CNY is his favourite time of the year, he used to fuss around, making sure everything is in place and everything is in tip-top state.

He has just left us, it is during this celebration and family get-together that his presence was sorely missed. CNY will never be the same again without you.

I miss you, grandpa!!! How I wish you could stay a little longer to see me walk down the aisle. =(

We are made to worship

After much reading and analysis, I’ve come to a conclusion that I am a Democratic Socialist. I feel strongly about people’s welfare. To me, capitalism will only promote and nurture the greed in us.

So what does “We are made to worship” has anything to do with my political view?

Here’s the story.

I have just finished reading “Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China”. In it, the author described the horrors of living under the rule of Chairman Mao. She talked about how the “cult of Mao” had crippled the the society. At the height of this craziness, people would carry with them “the Little Red book”, containing quotes of Chairman Mao. They were to read and mediate on the words of their beloved leader. Newspapers or any material containing the picture of Chairman Mao are to be treated with respect, that meant they can’t be thrown away or discarded. Anyone found to violate this, can be punished as capital crime, as serious as treason!! People would bow to the image of Mao and chant “long live Chairman Mao”....Read More...

So many hobbies....but so little time, so little $$$

Yes, this is what I’m feeling. Not just me, Hannah agrees with me as well! I think I’m a very restless person, because besides work I need hobbies to fill the void.

Don’t you agree with me that certain hobbies are very expensive?? Photography for one. I have been eyeing on a Digital SLR, so I’m now trying hard to save up on one. After getting the body, I still need to get those expensive lenses!! Luckily we’re living in the digital photo age. Just imagine how costly it would be to develop every single photo taken!!...Read More...

The world is flat!

I have not been doing speed reading for ages! While I was working 2 years back, I used to read a book a week. It’s a good way to make good use of one’s time, I used to read when I took the public transport to and fro from work, and back and forth from Seremban.

For two solid years, all I have been reading were textbooks, scientific papers and journals. I’m glad that now after graduating, leisure reading is back on my list of activities =).

Among the books I am currently reading, this book caught my attention: “The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century”, an international best-seller by Thomas Friedman. On separate occasions, Hannah, Yong Yi and Janet Tan mentioned about this book, and so I’ve decided to check it out....Read More...
