I just found this out today about Gmail, and I think it's super cool. Heh. From https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10313# : “Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short: homerjsimpson@gmail.com =

"i didn't get to watch the match, but from friends' tweets n fb updates, many people now hate fakri but like fadhli. well done harimau!" I was at work so I couldn't watch the SEA Games Football Final match between Indonesia and Malaysia. We won the previous one so I was hoping that we would win again. From friends' Facebook updates, it seems that many of my Malaysian friends, including

On Monday 17 October 2011, I organised a lasertag event at Star Command, Trocadero Centre. It's situated above Piccadilly Circus tube station. Link to Star Command: http://ultimatelasertag.co.uk/starcommand/london-laser-tag-prices-and-packages.asp We had 3 great sessions of lasertag! There were 26 of us, split into 2 teams. The red team won the first game and the green team won the second game.

That’s levi-OH-sa, not levi-yo-SAH, okay? I’ve just watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 yesterday and so finally, I’ve watched all the Harry Potter movies, and read all the books too. My first Harry Potter ‘experience’, if you can call it that, was watching the first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I have to admit, I didn’t really understand what was going on

assassin’s creed 2 and brotherhood

2011-02-21T23:04:00.002Z

Assassin’s Creed 2 picked up where Assassin’s Creed left off. Desmond Miles is still trapped at Abstergo Industries in 2012. Lucy Stillman, who’s played by Kristen Bell might I add, then helped to break him out. They escaped to an Assassin safe-house where Desmond met Rebecca, who designed Animus 2.0, and Shaun, who’s played by Danny Wallace who has a column in Shortlist. If you live in central

It’s been a really long time since I wrote about food in this blog (and quite a while as well since my last update). If you look at the ‘food’ category, there were quite a lot of entries when I first started blogging. I used to make a lot of desserts during uni, but got lazy to make any since then. Anyway, let’s change the topic slightly for the moment. Don’t worry, it’s still about food. Heh.

student march or student riot?

2010-12-12T18:22:00.001Z

There has been a series of student marches in London recently to protest the increase of the capping of university tuition fees from £3290 to £9000. This is a maximum amount to charge local students. If you’re wondering what this is all about, here’s a good page for some Q&A info. For international students, there are no caps, so it’s hugely expensive to get a degree here in the UK for

I took the morning for Raya Haji, so after the prayers, I went back home to lepak a while before going to work. Amer and I watched TV, the This Morning show on ITV1 to be exact. Suddenly, the host, Phillip Schofield, was touching his earpiece and then he said they just received news that Clarence House just announced that Prince Williams and Kate Middleton were now engaged. Clarence House is the

ed's first prime minister's questions

2010-10-13T22:44:00.001+01:00

Ed Miliband recently won Labour's leadership contest and has since selected his shadow cabinet. In the UK, the Prime Minister will spend half an hour every Wednesday morning to answer questions from Members of Parliaments (MPs). This is called the Prime Minister's Questions (PMQ). And today was Ed Miliband's first PMQ and it was entertaining to watch. Although they did criticise each other, it

2010-09-06T00:48:00.000+01:00

I keep having to dust off cobwebs from this blog. Doesn't matter anyway since I don't think there's much traffic anyway. Hehe. I'm now back home in Shah Alam. Will be in Malaysia for 3 weeks. Cuti Raya yeay. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with some old friends. The flights home were okay, but both of them were delayed, quite unreliable really. Maybe I should update this blog more often, but

england in the world cup

2010-06-22T21:59:00.002+01:00

England played ok during their first game against USA (except that goalkeeping gaffe), but they were absolutely rubbish against Algeria. My amateur opinion on what England's formation should be: RooneyJ Cole LennonGerrard LampardBarry A Cole Upson Terry G Johnson James England will surely win against Slovenia with this formation! Hehe.

first election debate in the uk

2010-04-15T23:24:00.002+01:00

It was a very interesting debate between the 3 main party leaders: Nick Clegg, David Cameron and Gordon Brown. I'm too lazy to elaborate here so I'll just jot down some quotes. Nick Clegg on the duel between David Cameron and Gordon Brown:The more they attack each other, the more they sound like one another.I must say that there were quite a few jabs from Gordon Brown towards David Cameron:You

2010-03-04T22:57:00.002Z

I went to Wembley with Amer, Apiq and Kat to watch the friendly match between England and Egypt. Headed there straight from work, meeting them at Marylbone station along the way. I must say, Wembley is huge! Humongously huge. Yeah, I know, incorrect grammar but the stadium’s really big. And it looks good too. Inside, the atmosphere was great. We were in the home fans section but there were a

In C++, age++ is equivalent to age = age + 1, which just means increase age by 1. You dah kat ofis ke? Belum. Tengah siap2 ni. Boleh tak tolong bukak pintu?

On Friday night, I opened my email and lo and behold, I had an invitation to preview Google Wave! Never thought I'd received one because I didn't get an invitation when Google first let it out into the world a few weeks ago.Don't know what the fuss is all about? Well, I'm not gonna explain it to you. Haha. Read about Google Wave here. There's a (really really) long video about it. There's also

2009-09-07T21:26:00.004+01:00

I finished watching the whole series of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica last week. Yup, that’s right, the WHOLE series of four seasons, plus the pilot miniseries and webisodes. I must say, the series as a whole is quite amazing. They’ve managed to maintain the continuity and avoid major plot holes. Plus fantastic story telling that keeps you at the edge of your seats. Yes, it is

kite runner

2009-06-28T23:50:00.003+01:00

I finished reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini more than a week ago. It’s a rather good book. To be honest, it started a bit slow. Usually, when I read a book, it would be difficult for me to stop reading, but with The Kite Runner, that didn’t happen until I got through more than half of the book. I was thinking to myself, hmm.. how come many people seem to like this book, because it
