Letters from the Equator

I wrote the God-fun article not too long ago, and a good friend of mine posted a comment, which was relatively lengthy and thought provoking. Here’s what he said: link So, because I believe in proper research rather than blind faith.. and also because I respect my friends for who they are and they have [...]

I’ve been living in a proverbial cave for the past 20 years of my life. Isn’t God supposed to be fun?! But it’s my fault, really. I have been taking things too seriously. Hey, I even got married! Just kidding. A lot of people I know don’t equate God with fun. Google certainly doesn’t, apart [...]

My wife is away on a company trip. They say that widowed men are more likely to break down in loneliness than widowed women. But I don’t know. On what basis do they compare loneliness? Do men cry in bed? Do they stare blankly into space? Do they go back and read old love letters? [...]

After a brief explanation from a colleague of mine about the differences between Britain, England and the United Kingdom, I still don’t know how I shouldn’t treat them all the same… but anyway, I was generally glad to be given the opportunity by my company to go there and do stuff. My work is becoming [...]

I got it! Glee…. All the buttons are accounted for, save for the battery eject and usb outlet, which is pointless when you’re in the water. Much appreciation goes to Eric for getting it for me from Japan. tech boonchew

The compensation allowed from late delivery is a small amount of 2 or 3 refrigerators, which is a nice supplement to our measly apartment savings.

The past month has been a gruelling effort to stay awake and productive. At the same time, I’m halfway battling a strong desire to punch someone’s nose for the late completion of our apartment. By this point, I have survived: – a three day-long exhibition- a physical weekend of paintball and go-karting- post-deadline deadlines for [...]

Earning a living, however, is a different thing altogether. Making money and earning a living, though related, are not quite the same. This article does give me some comfort that some folks don’t need to steal to earn a living. Selling [...]

I squeezed out enough momentum to rush out and get the Panasonic Lumix FX-01 last Friday. It does meet my expectations, despite the spottiness in low light conditions. The three main factors that make this purchase well worth it are: 1. color2. detail3. wide-angle lens! yummy….. here are some photos I took over the weekend [...]

Let’s get some publicity. Spread the word. Make some noise. This article was published in the Star today:http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/5/24/central/14249567&sec=central Fined for nothing I was in Petaling Jaya Old Town on April 26 to pick up my son from a tuition centre. I paid for a parking ticket marked 9:38am and expiring at 10.38am. I placed the [...]
