in any case i am back and writing and will be updating on my rather whimsical life. there are a few things that i would like to share but that i [...]

Race relations in a nutshell

while on the way home it poured again. i had to take shelter at a void deck.
while counting cats and dogs and anticipating the whims of the wind and rain, a Hokkien-Chinese couple arrived. with their helmets and rain coats, it was obvious that they were avoiding the torrid rain that has caused havoc to [...]

Johnny Cash and Trent Reznor

it is normal for young artists to do old songs.(Christina Aguilera) it is also normal for old artists to do dead man’s songs. (Rod Stewart) Christmas and Eid songs dont count. it is a fine thread to tip toe on because it isnt easy.
hence my admiration for their efforts that might have ultimately bombed [...]

I’m singing in the rain…

So, Avloomat. how do you think you can you be of value to the school? my interviewer asked.

i think this is an emotion worst than the feeling of loneliness… some people say they’d rather be alone… i think to a [...]

look what the cat dragged in…

while i absent mindedly open my inbox, i saw this attachment. i uploaded it and read it.
there was a part of me that did the Van Halen. there was a part of me that did the Wet Wet Wet and the last part did the Pink Floyd.
i am not jumping the gun just yet. i [...]

Miss Real Estate

i have a friend who is in real estate. so let us just call her Miss Real Estate. Ms Real for short.

An Open Letter….

Dear Muslims…
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you people (well not all but that minority) on establishing the notion that Islam is a religion of terror.
