I had to go through quite a significant number of resumes the other day, and here are some tips for fresh graduates out there.

Try to make your resume short. 2-3 pages is just nice, 4 is too many. Skip that section listing your primary school results and hobbies. What good does it make if your [...]

I have no plans to change this blog to an insect blog or anything like that. I am just disappointed with people who are acting like Weaver Ants. The disappointment is greater since most of them are friends.

These ants usually live in elevated spaces, most common on trees. Some orchard farmers also [...]

On the road, one should not only think about oneself but about others. If the road is made only for 2 parallel vehicles, don’t make it three. But then again people don’t care.
For example: Who is more despicable, queue jumper or new queue maker?. I like this post so much I am borrowing his images.

You can consider this as an honest and sincere opinion from me, as a Malaysian and a heavy Internet user. Maybe, if Rais reads this it will be much fun.
It’s all because of this news article: Malaysians advised against being immersed in Facebook, Twitter.
In twitter, the tag #yorais has been spreading like mad. The tweets [...]

I spent 6.5 hours from 9.00AM to 3.30PM at Puchong Naza Kia service center, wasting time because I didn’t realize they have free wifi.
As planned, we rushed to the Big Bad Wolf book sales at Amcorp Mall. The traffic was moderate, but Amcorp Mall was packed with people. Arriving at the outdoor parking space we [...]

Show: The Unit
Scene: Jonas (Snake Doctor) was tied up and a terrorist was looking over him
Dialog as I remember it:
Terrorist: (drinking something hot)
Jonas: Can I have some water please?
Terrorist: (looking at Jonas, then walked over to him, splashed the hot drink on Jonas)
Terrorist: Sorry, I missed
And the Malay translation for the last line was…
Maaf, saya [...]

My other half and I have always loved Secret Recipe. Among our favorite dishes are the Thai Fried Rice, Vietnamese Beef Noodle, Singapore Laksa, and not forgetting the cakes. It’s a Malaysian brand, and it provides good food.
However we have not been visiting any outlets since a couple of months ago because we had a [...]

This is an overdue post that I wanted to write right after I came back from there on Tuesday, but I couldn’t.
That day, I went back home earlier than usual as my other half was craving for pasta. Pizza Hut and Kenny Rogers pasta were also candidates but we like the Carbonara at Italiannies best [...]

My car refused to start on Sunday, and as a car dummy I didn’t expect it was the battery. I thought the maintenance-free dry cell would last longer than acid lead batteries. That incident caused me to miss a friend’s wedding, but I am happy to see the pictures posted in many other blogs as [...]

This post is dedicated to my one and only Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations who is working extremely hard, 24 hours a [...]

Queue jumpers of 2nd April 2009. These jumpers are from the right lane, and the queue was about 300m long:
Hyundai (Matrix?) WLH 9953

BMW PEM 3331 and Kancil BJJ 3914, too bad I missed the Satria Neo in front

The biggest offender of all - a UPM bus

If I were to make a separate website dedicated to share pictures of queue jumpers, would anyone be interested in joining in? It can be worldwide as queue jumper is not a rare breed.
Queue jumpers deserve to be shot, and if I have the power like Sylar I would have thrown the truck upside [...]

The overflow pipe at my home has been running since the end of January but I was too busy to either call a plumber or look at it myself. I was surprised with a RM50 water bill this month when the usual bill is around RM3. So I decided to climb up the “attic” to [...]

This picture was snapped in front of the shop next to Restoran Amir, Seksyen 9, Bandar Baru Bangi. Yes, behind Pusat Rawatan Az-Zahrah and Pusat Rawatan An-Nur the two big medical centers. Aedes can’t read blogs, so if you’re a public health officer go there and try to do your job.

When it comes to personal life, “assume” or “assumption” is the ugliest word. My good friend Ijoy has written about assumptions in his blog, most probably after someone assumed something that is not true about him.
