This post goes out to all those trendy hairstylists out there.
I just need to vent on this and ask you guys one very important thing that’s been bugging me for years now.  And it’s funny that the trigger for this fashion question is actually a scene from the hit series “Scrubs”. Yeah, I’ve been reminiscing [...]


I don’t like being angry.  So I retracted the previous post because I hate my blog adorned by swearwords.  But the message is clear.  I don’t welcome stupid people in this blog.
Good day to all.


Interested?

Funny Typo :D

I’m not a fan of posting on mailing lists albeit the member status of so many.  But since this morning I’ve been thinking on how to put a comment on a thread submitted by one of my ex-colleague without sounding rude or insensitive.  Why am I thinking about this?  I’m still all giggly because apparently [...]


I got hate e-mails when I posted the Nasi Babi video in my Indonesian blog because it’s considered racist and such. By all means, dudes. Call it what you want, but I call it funny and I was NOT being racist. And now I’m posting another video, which I am almost sure [...]


I was searching YouTube for inspirations on my work assignment and stumbled upon this British Caledonian Airlines ad dated way back from 1982. For you (old) Brits, this might not be a new thing, but for me this is so very very cute! I jotted down the lyric so we can all sing [...]


I used to think men, when they fall sick, tend to get all macho and wouldn’t let anybody know that they have a forty-degrees fever and act as normal as they could.  Well at least that’s how Hollywood portrays its on-screen heroes.
It’s clear that my dad isn’t a Hollywood hero.
He’s the type of guy who’d [...]


Bahasa!

05Nov07

And while we’re at it, I just want to scream something out loud to all non-Indonesians out there:
Our language is the BAHASA INDONESIA, people! NOT just BAHASA!
I couldn’t help but feel very irritated whenever I come across this common mistake. Bahasa is Indonesian for “Language”. It’s pretty annoying to hear somebody say: [...]


I blogwalked around today and ended up at one of my favorite blogs on the blogosphere, Mr. Unspun’s. He wrote this article, and I was tickled to say something about the new bridge blogging thing.
So the reason I started this English blog is because I’ve got quite a few complaints from my readers in [...]


So it’s that time of the year again, when I wouldn’t be able to be disturbed on Thursday nights.  I’d be glued to my TV set to watch the contestants of The Amazing Race Asia get their gears on and race around the world, while drooling over the ever so handsome Allan Wu.
Or so I [...]
