I guess now would be a good time to update this blog. In about 30 minutes, I will be 34 years old. So why am I here updating this blog and not out celebrating? It's kinda sad actually. Well without going into much details, currently I'm out of work and to top it of, I'm also away from my family. Actually other than that, all my buddies are all out of town now. I'll probably get some birthday

WTF! So this is Human Rights?

2014-04-21T18:19:00.000+08:00

Look at the picture, the part that is highlighted is titled "Perjuangan HAK ASASI MANUSIA, Antara Agama Tanpa Kebebasan dan Kebebasan Tanpa Agama".

WTF - 9 Month Old Boy Accused of Murder?

2014-04-06T19:47:00.000+08:00

9 Year Old Boy Accused of Murder I thought it was some sort of "Chucky" nightmare killer but does that look like a face of murderer to you? I don't think so. There is just something very wrong with the police and judicial system there in Pakistan. Apparently the boy was even fingerprinted and even went to court. He is even expected to return to court on a later date, and I'm guessing so that

Someone Should Get This Guy a Free iPhone

2014-03-20T14:41:00.001+08:00

What would you do if you had found a phone on the street? Not just any phone but a smart phone like say an iPhone. For the person who'd lost the phone, chances are slim you'd get it back. I've had the unfortunate luck to have lost my phones, once in a DJ concert (in Manila) and a month later after getting a replacement, lost the phone in a night club (in Malaysia). To me Jenny Roberts Dodge is

ÖKO ODYSSEY 6 in 1 Bottle WOW! Why didn't I think of that? I've seen the portable filter bottles out there but this is by far this most innovative water bottle out there. The ÖKO ODYSSEY bottle has 6 functions this seemingly normal looking water bottle. On the bottom you can have storage that can be used as a cup. It's able to store 8 fl.

Rant: What the hell did I just read?

2014-03-18T23:18:00.001+08:00

I was going to write about some of the tech news that I think will have a huge impact on peoples lives but after reading an article via a Facebook post I was so pissed off and annoyed that I just couldn't continue on doing the research articles on the tech news. The 1st post I saw was this: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/257464 It wasn't much as the you'd need to subscribe to view

For those who had been following closely the news of the incident, the updates presented here might not be new, as there were already unconfirmed reports swirling on the Internet.

It's All About The Selfie

2014-03-15T16:26:00.000+08:00

I prefer group selfies Did you know the word "Selfie" is not in the dictionary? Well, it's not in the Oxford English Dictionary, not yet anyway. But it is in the Oxford Dictionaries Online. The word "selfie" was also the Word of the Year 2013 and interestingly was not in the dictionary before this. Now according to the dictionary, a selfie is a photograph that one has taken of oneself,

Raja Bomoh (shaman king) in a ritual to find MH370 in KLIA In one of the weird news in the MH370 incident few days ago, a shaman (Raja Bomoh) had visited KLIA to perform a ritual to look for the missing plane.

Need for Speed 2014 Like many Malaysians, especially those living abroad, the MH370 incident has been a hot topic to follow closely these few days. From hearing reports of stolen passports used by passengers on board, revelations of families still being able to ring the passengers, to seeing shamans (witch doctor) performing rituals in KLIA to locate the missing plane, I was thinking, I

WTF - Playboy Hello Kitty Leica Camera

2014-03-08T17:34:00.001+08:00

What would you get if you got together Leica, Playboy and Hello Kitty? Well someone thought it was good idea for this 3 brands to do a collaboration it seems, and the result is a Leica C compact camera plastered with a Hello Kitty Playboy design. Now, I gotta admit, I am a fan of the overpriced Leica brand of cameras. If you do happen to have a spare Leica M series camera lying around

WTF - LG G Flex Weird Ad

2014-03-08T15:44:00.001+08:00

LG G FLEX If you haven't seen it, that's the LG G Flex, a curved shaped phone that has self healing properties. I think the phone itself is pretty good to attract people to buy it but if I had seen their below, I'm not too sure if I would still be interested. You need to watch it to the end. I don't know about you but after watching that ad, if I went out to get that phone now, I'd feel

2014-03-07T00:30:00.000+08:00

What if I told you could smell bacon just by using your IPhone? No actual bacon cooking involved. Yeah, sounds weird to me but have a look at the video. If you were a huge bacon fan this would be a dream come true. While for me, the idea of waking up and smelling bacon in the morning doesn't excite me as much as smelling fresh brewed coffee. Previously there were news about adding

Rent A Friend Anyone?

2014-03-06T23:49:00.000+08:00

Friends for rent? Ash Wednesday! (do we greet people "Happy Ash Wednesday"?) I wanted to write about Ash Wednesday celebration here in the Philippines (and I was already doing some research about it) but I changed my mind when read an article on Business Insider about a new business start-up where you can pay to rent a friend by the hour. If you were like me, you'd be reading that twice.

My first blog! again?! When I think about it, it took me probably more than 20 years to come to this point where I finally "blog" on the Internet. I still remember back when I was using an Intel i386 (or was it i486) computer which probably had a 14.4k internal dial-up modem, then upgrading it to a USRobotics 56k Sportster modem.
