can i go home now?

Month: February, 2009

“pretend i’m a rock!”

today is cultday at the office. i’m not too sure if it’s a monthly or bi-monthly affair where the president of our swingers club arbitrarily sets a theme to dress up for. the theme this time round was a rather blah “Fitness”. was going through the network shared folders (fondly referred to as “nerds”) and [...]

telco black hole

maxis called me today about the horrendous connection at home. and meh, i’m psychic. months and months back, the usj5 residents (WHOOPS, NOW YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE) were protesting against a telecommunications tower somewhere next to a frackin’ playground. and what do you know? majlis perbandaran subang jaya actually took their complaints/petioning/whining seriously and [...]

like a broken pencil – pointless

hur hur hur. so pun-ny.

cut the crap then spread it thick

i’m going to hold everyone at arm’s length now. how do you explain disappointment or genuinely hurt feelings without coming off whiny? WELL, SORRY, BITCHES BUT YOU CAN’T. i’ll preserve this macho façade (which protects my warm chocolate centre) with this non-confrontational, passive/aggressive stance.  think i’m getting more and more comfortable with it. oh, but [...]

vday = doomsday

so, it was valentine’s day yesterday, and i wouldn’t have noticed its passing save for the fact that set meal prices went through the roof. strangely, if you sift through all the angst and anti-vday sentiment on the internetz, it makes you wonder who actually is celebrating. i imagine all the naysayers broadcast faux disdain [...]

grumble: no maxis coverage in usj 5

Emerg. calls only maxis is really fucking with us. what happened? did someone lop down a telecommunications tower in usj? fucking hell.

burning money

mama told me to get my petrol rebate asap since news has it that they’d be scrapping it after july. i tried getting the rebate online but obviously FAIL! had to renew my road tax and motor insurance first. the runner came last tuesday for my premium and came back on friday with the road [...]

北京一夜

i’ve been doing a chinese-english translation of this song i got from mr. music today. not a good sign. the twice i ever did this in my life, i was emo’ing heavily. i’ve read that it’s split into male/female parts (hence the falsetto) to tell the story. listened to two versions: the original by bobby [...]

reasons i hate suits

warning: broad, sweeping, uber generalisations ahead: they have low IQs you know how it is when they come back and say they “don’t get it” but only because they’re looking at it from a REALLY RETARDED CONSUMER STANDPOINT? it’s a fucking lie. these forest gumps who only have enough electrical pulses in their brain to [...]

arborio. risotto. can’t i just use jasmine rice?

so, i’ve been hankering for risotto since last week (blame it on the little italian place in taman desa that we frequent) and the recipes i’ve dredged up online seem simple enough (since my food always comes out presentable and no one has died or purged yet). image from tamarind and thyme. unfortunately, jusco didn’t [...]
