The meaning of the word, DEFENESTRATE
in flight entertainment, originally uploaded by abikuu.
Defenestrate means to throw something out of the window.
To look at a historical perspective, Wikipedia has the goods:

I used to subscribe to National Geographic WORLD as a kid, and they would teach you how to pronounce words.
DEFENESTRATE (dee-FAN-nus-trait)
You can hear how an American pronounces it here.
I like how Encarta [...]
Answering the Gut
I think you’re crazy… Just like me !, originally uploaded by Nas .
They say that learning isn’t like a ramp, but like a step. A leap of faith would be succinct, to put it another way. Because, to be honest, faith isn’t grown, it is learned.
Ever since I started work, something in me has [...]
Macau Trip on Flickr
I went to Macau recently, and finally got around to posting the photos on Flickr. It’s been a long delay - so I’m now trying to make up for the investment I made in the PRO account. Hope you enjoy it. I’ve posted a few of my favorites here for you.
Here’s the link to the [...]
Leap Walking
Sunshine, originally uploaded by Soffia Gisladóttir.
I launched a career-related blog. I’ve decided to come out of the dark that I care a lot about work enough not to do too much of it or too little. While that makes me go crazy, some of it makes sense.

Singapore - Vivo City?
I must admit it isn’t quite wrong to reach new heights of retail utopia - but a ‘beach’ atop a shopping mall has got to be one of those things that makes me wonder if someone was just getting ahead of themselves.
The landscaping is done very nicely, I must say. It makes for walking around [...]

An Accomplished Eczematic
I went to see a skin specialist today. I got really tired of nursing my wounds, which didn’t seem to go away, and I had suspected that I was spreading infections all over my body all by myself.
The doctor gave me a look that make me feel like I was truly an accomplished eczematic, or [...]
Maybank Stole My Money Update 2
I got my money back. I checked my Maybank account yesterday and I saw a house check being approved for a RM400 deposit into my account. The whole process took 9 months. I’m glad I got the money back but I wish it didn’t take so long. It could’ve been a lot more efficient.
Rant blogging?
I’m one of the few surviving members of blogging people around my circle of friends, who are not ostentatiously vocal, extraverted, or plain stupid (least I hope not).
I blog because I love to write. And I write my thoughts, because I have too many. But then I stop, and start wondering why I blog in [...]

The last sentence of the article is too funny. w00t!
It feels good to be a Jayhawk.
