Not that I'm complaining. I'm just...confused. I can't tell anymore if it's the wet season or the dry season. One minute, the sun is blazing down with a ferocity that can only be equaled by my temper on a bad day; ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SleeplessInKl/~3/-jTBtIly7AI/here-comes-the-rain-again http://www.sleeplessinkl.com/2010/07/16/here-comes-the-rain-again This shot of the Petronas Twin Towers that I took yesterday using my HTC Desire (from a moving car at that!) somehow reminds me of the late John Denver's song "Sunshine On My Shoulders". Hope your Monday's not too toxic :) SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS - John Denver Sunshine on my shoulders makes ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SleeplessInKl/~3/ajhMjbQSqiw/sunshine-makes-me-happy http://www.sleeplessinkl.com/2010/07/12/sunshine-makes-me-happy Twin1 (left) and his younger brother (by 15 minutes), Twin2 I was driving one evening, with the twins sitting in the backseat. Out of the blue, Twin1 blurted out a question that totally caught me by surprise. Abang: Mama, bila kita nak ada swimming pool?

Somehow it crossed my mind today, prompting me to Google it so that I can share it with you all. I found it -- of all places! -- at one of ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SleeplessInKl/~3/CEu4aSY-xwA/dieters-prayer http://www.sleeplessinkl.com/2010/07/09/dieters-prayer It's the height of World Cup fever and with South Africa being the host nation this year, it's only fitting that I write a blog post about this beautiful country where the sea and mountains meet the blue, blue sky. In much the same way that the Alps are associated with ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SleeplessInKl/~3/nZzXIHi5ps4/table-mountain-south-africas-most-defining-natural-landmark http://www.sleeplessinkl.com/2010/07/08/table-mountain-south-africas-most-defining-natural-landmark The sky was so dramatic this morning that I couldn't resist taking a few shots using my HTC Desire.

There I was online Monday morning, holding my breath as I waited for the clock to strike 11 am, staring at the computer screen, refreshing my Twitter page every 10 seconds or so. Finally, the big moment came...and I ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SleeplessInKl/~3/qu2dhYnb0m8/and-the-htc-desire-goes-to http://www.sleeplessinkl.com/2010/06/23/and-the-htc-desire-goes-to Long before the term 'smartphone' was invented, I knew I needed one. The first smartphone I ever owned was a Palm Treo. I loved its fast startup, its stability, its ability to switch from one program to another with ease.
