My blogging stint at iTest is over, so it’s now your turn to go there and give your two cents.For the price of 150 words or less, you will be admitted for a chance to win an Apple MacBook! Can lah. I write thousands of words a day. I’m sure you can manage 150! So, ...
Yes, that’s him in the video. He is Paul Ong, aka Don Juan de Porko, aka Man of Steel Stomach and Palate. Okay, start loading up this video before you read on because it will take a while.I purposely wrote a long long post and included a lot of rubbish photos so you can be ...
This is seriously crazy.One night, the Goonfather had a sudden craving for french fries with ketchup, and he kept talking about it until I was dying to eat french fries with ketchup, too. Idiot.So we went to Billy Bombers for dinner. (Mr B doesn’t have the best fries, but he has killer onion rings and ...
Last Friday, I submitted my first food log to Eric, my trainer at California Fitness.He came back saying, “And why is your breakfast at 3 pm??”Actually, 3 pm is considered early for me. I usually have “breakfast” between 4 pm and 8 pm, depending on how busy I am.He also said:Cut down on carbs after ...
A word of advice to those planning to move house soon. Do not attempt to do it without sleeping the night before. (That means no last minute panic and packing.)I can’t claim that I totally didn’t sleep. I slept 30 minutes from 5:30 am to 6 am on Saturday. That’s definitely not good.My friends (who ...
Yes, I’m a bad girl. It’s unintentional, I must stress. Due to an inordinate amount of work and meetings and events, I can’t complete this week’s GGF on time, so please forgive me, be patient and wait a while. I didn’t even have time to go to Comex yesterday as planned. =(GGF will be out ...
When I came across the first mention of swine flu, my immediate reaction was, “Doh, not another one of those.”Then I went on to ignore it because I had more compelling concerns on my mind, …

I haven’t done a food post in a while because I’m getting bored with photographing my food before eating. But my blog feels hungry today, so I went to dig up some old food pictures. Haha.This fine-looking specimen of epicurean delight is, unfortunately, only available in KL, Malaysia. I know, I’m kinda evil.I don’t know ...
The self-preservation instinct is strong in me. No matter how head-over-heels in love I am with a guy, I keep a clear head, somehow.I would never allow myself to do stupid things and hurt myself for love.Maybe it makes me a somewhat cold person. But better that than end up an exploited, abused woman who ...
I’m doing my just-got-home routine: Check e-mail, answer MSNs, log in to Plurk to click “Mark all read”. The Goonfather comes up to me and says, “Can I borrow one of your monitors for a while?”I’m wondering what he means to do with one monitor but I say, “Sure.”I think maybe he’s going to open ...
It never rains but pours!!!Okay, it hasn’t really been “raining” or “pouring” all that much but I just felt like starting off with some melodrama. Because one of my new 320GB SATA RAID hard disks JUST DIED ON ME. It’s not brand-new new, but it’s only six months old so it shouldn’t even be coughing, ...
I guess you guys will be disappointed to learn that my Ninja Gaiden II costume looks nothing like the one worn by Sonia, who is the new NG femme fatale. This is Sonia:But don’t compare us, okay. We’re not even meant to be Sonia.We’re meant to be flyer-distributing generic ninja girls (which Moralis kindly pointed ...
I’m not giving away hamsters, of course. What I’m giving away are my hamster stuff because I don’t have time to keep hamsters anymore.So I’m doing a giveaway contest for everyone to have fun and win stuff! Let’s have a look at the prizes.The PrizesThey are mostly brand new. Some have never been used. Those ...
I don’t find vulgarities offensive. I find them funny and enjoyable. People use them in daily speech to spice up conversations and to emphasize points. If not used specifically to insult and offend, I actually enjoy listening to conversations liberally laced with F words and whatnot.I love when my male friends bicker with each other ...
This is a stand-alone story and has no relation to the first two parts. It’s just that the Goonfather keeps getting calls from makeover studios. I DON’T KNOW WHERE HE HAS BEEN LEAVING HIS PHONE NUMBER!!I never ever get calls from makeover studios. Not that I want to.Anyway, enjoy this short and sweet …
The Goonfather tells me that kunoichi (female ninja) always have hair dangling down the sides of their faces. So, for yesterday’s ninja patrol, I let down one side of my hair. I know the hair clip is a little unglam but my hair refuses to stay up otherwise.Then again, who says hair clips are unglam? ...
Look out your window now!!! THE MOON IS RED IN COLOUR!!!Okay, I know this probably isn’t the first time, but I’ve never seen the moon any colour other than what it’s supposed to be, so it is pretty damn amazing to me!!I swear this isn’t photoshopped. I didn’t even adjust the brightness and contrast. This ...
I shall be supremely evil today and tempt you with food that you can’t get in Singapore.Heh.This is a very fine specimen of Sarawak Laksa which I had the chance to try when I was in Kuching a few months ago. It’s so awesome my tummy salivates even when I think about it now.I mean, ...
When I was in Kuching, our unofficial tour guide, Malcolm, brought us to a traveller lodge belonging to a good friend of his.We had a crazy party there, me and the journalists who had been invited to visit Kuching. I made a video of the madness. I was frankly quite amazed at how talented my ...
