    Some Iraqis, both Sunnis and Shiites are missing Saddams iron clawed ruling, which to them are better than the weak leadership they have now. They are weary of the uncertainties of life, even though it offers more possibilities and chances of living a better life. Sounds eerily familiar, doesn’t it?

    I’m scared. This is reported almost on a daily basis. statistically, I’d say once a week or at least twice in a month. All in our beloved country. And reading it just after watching In The Company Of Men, just made it worst. If you haven’t watched this masterpiece, then read this. I’d make a…

    …but trust the country instead.  – George W Bush, Harold And Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay After reading this, this, and this, I am feeling lost in my own backyard. Why is someone else being punished by the stupidity of others?  And quite incidentally, I came to watch Harold And Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay, when the…

    A group of driving trainees were furious after finding a hidden CCTV camera in the toilet at the driving test centre. The funny thing is (at least to me), the camera is in the gents, instead of the ladies like what normally would happen. Maybe the Menggatal instructors want to see if their students are…

    My sincere condolence to the family of Pak Samad and the whole Malay literature community, and Malaysians generally, for we have lost one of the rare gems of our culture. Al-Fatihah.

    Ok. The debate was a success. Both party had gone great length to outdo the others. I can’t really say who won. Those who sides with Anwar will say they won, and those pro-governments will say they won. To me, what matters most is, what now? Will we see a better Malaysia, or worse? Or…

    Not to be confused with the previous post, this post is about a Malaysian who was nominated as one of the top ten most influential person on Earth, by Time magazine. Upon writing this, I’m having mixed feelings. I’m feeling proud, that this is a true blue Malaysian achievement recognised by the world. I’m not…

    It’s saddening of what we are becoming nowadays. I don’t know what’s wrong with us. What’s it with us and prank calls. From radio Deejays making prank calls to all for corners of the world (I’ve heard them pranking Disneyland Hong Kong, and many more), to the over 600 calls made to the fire department…
