Yes, it’s soccer or as we in Malaysia locally call it, football. The national team lost 5-1 to China on Tuesday night match, and it is not a good news. However I am not a football fan and this blog is not a sports blog. I just need to vent out my frustration and disappointment [...]

So now Malaysian Government is planning to make it compulsory for bloggers to register themselves. Here is an article from The Star: Bloggers may [...]

Last night (Sunday morning) at 2.50am my stomach started to rumble as I was staying up late to finish up some work. So I went to McDonald’s to get some food at the 24-hour drive thru. I arrived there exactly at 3.00am, and there were 3 cars ahead of me in the queue. I didn’t [...]

Ok ok I know this is old news for most of you. I just can find this time to write a bit about it. Technically speaking WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.

Yes what you heard is right. Sued. Jeff Ooi and Rocky were served separately by a group of the same people for what else but the contents of their blogs. I am very unfamiliar with law terms, and in the area itself so I am not going to comment much. However seeing the situation I [...]

For those working/studying or doing whatever in Cyberjaya, please be careful if you make the illegal U-turn after exiting The Street Mall. If you can, do a U-turn somewhere else where it’s safe.

Recently released, Malaysia latest blockbuster, Cicak Man has been said to collect RM2m within five days. Not bad at all.
