Who’s Biased Now?
Although I try to make a point of ensuring I read a Malay language newspaper a few times during a week, I don’t always manage this. Sometimes I’m too busy and other times, I’ve simply forgotten to do so. There have also been times when I just could not be bothered, because let’s face it, […]

Networking
I’m no great networker. In fact, I freely admit that I am crap at it. I remember attending a conference once, and whilst people were wandering around exchanging cards and chatting during the break, shy ol’ me just stood around reading all the posters and doing my best to avoid conversations*.
Socially I’m better. I don’t […]

My 15 minutes of fame
I am now, officially, famous

Aku tak pernah jatuh cinta … :-)
It’s obviously a bit of a blast-from-the-past week for me. First pugly tags me with songs from when I was 18, then today the SPG sent me an email with a youtube link, and boy was I in for a surprise. I clicked on it, and up popped Ali Setan. Not a […]

Sniff
Much as I love seeing the weather turn warmer, there’s one thing about spring I don’t like - hayfever.
It’s awful, sneezing all the time. And that’s the least worst thing about hayfever for me (the sneezing I mean). You know what’s the most irritating thing about hayfever? It’s when your throat starts feeling itchy. Do […]

The Tony Legacy
I read the other day that Tony Blair was somewhat concerned about what his legacy would be once he leaves. So, off the top of my head I came up with the following list (I dare say I’ll find more items if I really thought about it!); hopefully it’ll help him work out how […]

The Things You Learn
Yes, I admit it, I’m finding it increasingly harder to find the will to blog these days. Not because I hate blogging, or have nothing left to say (because I do!), but I’m finding it increasingly more difficult to just find the time to sit down, compose my thoughts properly, and write.
The thing is, […]

Tardy
I’ve not been very good with blogging, am I? Too many things going on, not all of them good. One of these days I’ll blog properly about all these things.
In the meantime, for those of you in countries that give you a holiday over Easter, have a good break.
