Letters from the Equator

tehais Originally uploaded by jaremfan.
This is one of my favourite drinks in the whole wide world. Served mostly at mamak stalls, the present generation’s colder derivative of the well-established teh tarik, it can probably be the nation’s most enduring pop drink. So much of it represents [...]

It’s hard to look past the glitter and gold of the season’s festivities. I, for one, have never been acquainted with a tradition of Christmas, since I was never brought up around it. Now, even seven years after my conversion, I still don’t have a firm hold on what should be done on Christmas day.
So [...]

I’m so thankful that I have managed to attend the very last Friday cell group of the year. UKH’s message was really a godsend in preparation for the next year, and with all that has been happening to my life lately, has given me reason to press on for good.
The memories that have taken place [...]

Did you know that white eggs come from white chickens and brown eggs come from brown chickens?
I never knew that!
Well, now I do. And so do you.
p.s. actually, I did know that, but only recently… like a year ago or something. I [...]

I used to work in the application development department in my previous company, and 90% of the engineers would cater food instead of going out to eat. One of the advantages for that was low cost. The other advantage was time. You didn’t have to spend a lot of money and effort to go out [...]

I used to draw stuff like this way back before puberty. It was quite amazing, when I think about it. I believe I produced something like four to five comic books, one cross-over (a friend and I were into this odd hobby), and one adaptation of a movie. Haha.
Anyway, I stumbled upon Inkscape sometime back, [...]

Oh no……….. not another Ruby blog post on the internet!
Strangely…. I have become infatuated with it…… and I’ve just only managed to install it, rubygems, and build ruby on rails remotely.
Everything went so strangely well. It’s so…. surreal. I’ve never tasted a language with such finesse, it’s almost tastes like premium icing in a cake.
Just [...]

The word Advent means “coming” or “arrival.” The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent, and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in his Second Advent. Thus, Advent is far more than simply marking a 2,000 year old event in [...]

My dad’s new infatuation is his Port Dickson apartment near the beach, and he’s been spending time thinking of how to furnish it and make it more livable. Of course, to dad, that means just buying a couple of lamps and turning it on, and stocking the place with more food and drinks.
The rest [...]

I’m back from Penang, and I’m absolutely worn out. The back of my mom’s MPV gets really bumpy especially at higher speeds. No chance to nap. I had to control my drool at one point, and I seriously could not understand where all that saliva was coming from, and for what reason.
Anyway, I’m just glad [...]
