  • end to the weekend

    Sitting right next to my trusty PC, having been opened up and cleaned inside out to get rid of the dust mite haven. Old ragged cloth and water really works well. Just make sure everything’s dry before you put everything back together. And uh… make sure your climate is humid. One problem though, caused…

  • Errata

    bangsar.net originally reported that the badger song was mentioned by Merv, but it was really Az^1 who introduced the song to the gang. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused. 😛

  • badger

    Merv asked me to visit www.badgerbadgerbadger.com a while ago, but I kinda forgot about it. Having seen it a while ago, it’ll haunt me for the rest of the year. Now in screensaver version. The critters shall spread. To the office. The office has been rather quiet lately. Everyone’s either down at the Phase…

  • beginners’ luck

    Woke up. Read papers. Lunchtime. Went to Jalan Gasing. Ate banana leaf. Yummy. Went to Paramount. Bought mahjong set and paper. Went to Henry’s place. Unwrap. Played. Went back home. Cleaned bathroom while soaking tiles. Described basics to siblings. Dinner. Played. Kena tapau. American Idol. Continued playing. Tapau back. Kena marah for playing too…

  • driven

    to madness. This country is home to a whole lot of people with poor lane control. Inconsiderate, single-minded, and blind, they’re the main cause of stress, high blood pressure, and manic depression. However, they give rise to another class of drivers: skilled and alert, keeping them alive during the 2 or so hours they…

  • Dia

    Finally finished Angels & Demons by Dan Brown just over the span of a day inclusive of sleep, mahjong, and playing around with Henry’s new Logitech Wingman Pro GP wheel. More amazing, is that my lil bro finished it earlier than I did, while I rigorously tried to win back my chips into the…

  • no comment

    well… no comment. 😛

  • true sleeper

    Yay! No more squeaky squeaks. My car shall no longer attract attention in ways that are funny and hilarious. Chatting with the foreman after having him tighten a tyre arm bolt, it’d probably cost me another 1K+ to get my carb fixed (it idles at 2K rpm). Suddenly a transplant doesn’t sound so bad…

  • spare (n)

    1 a : a spare tire b : a duplicate (as a key or a machine part) kept in reserve A spare car key kept in a another car which is usually away from home: bad idea, demonstrated by how I was driving my nuts off hoping to pick up my old Accord from…

  • the path less taken

    At my age, you start wondering how to go about the rest of your life: – religious, or delinquent. – GLC, or private, or freelance. – bachelor for life, or marriage. – humble, moderate, or lavish lifestyle. Tough decisions. The gang ain’t helping. 😛 Also wondering bout the rules of inter-religious marriage in Islam.…
