Apologies again for such a long break from blogging. =)
Last night, at 9pm, on my landline at home, I got a call from a Princeton alumni all the way from USA. It had become one of my most memorable phone calls in life. I shall remember speaking to a fellow Malaysian who graduated from the [...]

Minor Accident
As I type this as calmly and rationally possible, I feel shortchanged for having to pay for someone’s ugly mistake.
As I was driving on the highway back from SS3, one lousy Mercedes hit my car’s right rear, stripping partially the rear bumper. The driver didn’t even stop to look, just zoomed away. I am real [...]

Perak Peril is no Thrill
I write this post with full disappointment after knowing about the collapse of the Pakatan Rakyat-led Perak Government today. Indeed, I am in full support of an anti-hopping provision in the Federal Constitution to avoid such betrayal of the people’s democratic right in future.
