I updated this blog on Windows Live Writer Beta

I downloaded the Windows Live Beta package (Messenger, Call, Writer, Photo Gallery and Mail) just for the fun of it (I do this a lot, install and uninstall applications just to see how they work) and decided to try updating my blog using Windows Live Writer Beta.
It claims to make blogging super easy (ok, I [...]

Cry baby

Ladies and gentleman, I have turned into a sappy person.
I was watching The Nanny Diaries earlier and I cried and cried and cried. Did anyone else bawl their eyes out when when Grayer said “I love you” to Annie for the first time? When he chased after Annie in the taxi? When Annie spilled her [...]

Know when to stop reading

I know a lot of people who can finish a book in a week because they can hardly put it down once they start reading.
I know many people who can finish a book in less than a month because they speed-read and spend all day and all night devouring it.
So the fact that I can [...]

Romance at the call centre

I have a deadline to meet and I should really not blog BUT I have to tell you about Outsourced. It’s showing on HBO (in Msia) this month and it’s hilarious. I’ve watched this movie in three parts and each part has not failed to make me laugh.
It is pretty much established that India is [...]

Nuggets of wisdom

Disclaimer: One of those cryptic posts again. This is my view. You may not necessarily agree with it but it’s mine nevertheless. The least you can do is read and ponder on it.
You can find wisdom in odd places. For me, it was in a print advertisement for a cigarette brand in a woman’s magazine [...]

I thought we didn’t care?

I think people are strange. When I say people, myself included.
We’re strange because we tell ourselves that we don’t care but we do. For example, we’ve forgotten that old ex-boyfriend whom we haven’t seen in years. But when we realise that we might bump into them or, God forbid, have to attend a function with [...]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I received a parcel yesterday morning. It contained a small box with a 4gb pen drive inside of it storing some pictures for my articles. The best thing is, I get to keep the pen drive. AND it comes with a warranty. Cool!
When I saw the envelope on my desk, it reminded me of a [...]

What’s your theme?

I logged on to my gmail account this morning to find that there was a subtle change to it. Just like the silent “b” in the word subtle itself (blink and you’ll miss it).
Apparently, Google has given the more active accounts the first choice of picking the themes they like. So I duly picked mine [...]

Waking up with a foreign accent.

This is probably one of the most bizarre disorder that I have ever heard of. How on earth is it possible to wake up one morning and suddenly have, say an African accent?
But if you’ve had a stroke or have hit your head quite hard, you’ve got a 1 in a million chance of losing [...]

The Price of Fame

I promise not to let anything or anyone get to me ever again. So not worth it. So not worth my time. They’ll never get anything from me” – Suzie
This time yesterday, one teeny weeny incident ruined my entire day. It lingered with me through the entire day like an embarrassing memory that makes you [...]
