Sleepless in Singapore: Father-in-Law and Permatang Pauh

Sleepless in Singapore: Father-in-Law and Permatang Pauh

It’s 3:28am in Singapore and I am still facing the laptop screen, mixing work and personal things to do. OK I admit I am sleepless maybe due to the fact that I had gone to bed a bit earlier today after finishing my official duty.
But the fact that two significant events had happened while being far away from home left just a little bit of regret in myself but then, life has to go on no matter what.
Me and my wife (and a couple of my kids) had been going back to my hometown in Kota Bharu every weekend for …read more

On leave…

On leave…

I am on leave today… attending to family needs.
Shouldn’t Najib, Gani Patail and Musa Hassan take a long leave too while their names are cleared of all allegations? Wishful thinking ehh?
Ohhh, by the way, Pak Lah of all people is the one who should have taken the longest leave…. a permanent one… after his dismal performance in the recent election.

PIKOM PC Fair 2007 (III)

The PIKOM PC Fair 2007 (III) started 30th Nov 2007 and will end tomorrow 16th December 2007. I spent the whole morning at the Kuala Lumpur’s leg of PIKOM PC Fair 2007 (III) held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC) last Sunday. The three-times a year fair (used to be held annualy) is just getting bigger every year… if you attend the one at the KLCC, be prepared to walk for kilometers to cover the whole lot of booths selling nothing else but IT stuff.

Kuala Lumpur is Home anniversary

Kuala Lumpur is Home anniversary

Time flies so fast and before you notice it, Kuala Lumpur is Home is now already one year old. I started blogging at Kuala Lumpur is Home for Home Turf Media one year ago in December 2006 after being selected by Jon Symon as part of his new blog network project. Well actually I was not Jon’s 1st choice for the pilot sites. Jon had wanted me to start blogging Kuala Lumpur is Home after he had launched the three pilot sites, but I pushed my luck and tried to convince Jon why Kuala Lumpur should be in his pilot …read more

Kuala Lumpur is Home will be featuring regular online home cooking demos showing how I cook my favourite dishes.

Engaging and embracing at the BUM2007 gathering, Lake View Club

Despite sustaining some injury on my ribs when I was doing a DIY project at home yesterday, I managed to attend the Blogger United Malaysia 2007 gathering held yesterday evening at the Lake View Club Subang Jaya.
I had fallen off the aluminium ladder and landed my ribs on a chair. The chair was badly damaged and my ribs now are severely in pain even by slight movement. I had asked my wife to send me there as I could not drive. Luckily an X-ray showed no fractured bones or anything like that but I was at the BUM2007 on …read more

Michael’s Badminton Academy in Bandar Puteri Puchong

I just came back from Bandar Puteri Puchong where I played badminton at Michael’s Badminton Academy with my office mates after a long day at work. My friends had been asking me to join them for a while but I had been giving them cold shoulders. But tonight I made up my mind that I need some exercise to trim off some excess fat and to relief myself from stress at work. I used to play soccer but at my age I totally rule out soccer or even futsal.
Badminton is my favourite game since my childhood. However, tonight’s game …read more

KWSP deserves a pat on its back for efficiency but there is still room for improvements

KWSP deserves a pat on its back for efficiency but there is still room for improvements

I have on three ocassions applied for withdrawals of my Employee Provident Fund (EPF) or Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP). The first one was for the initial deposit towards the purchase of my house and the last two were to reduce the balance of my housing loan with the Bank.
