His last major visit to the vest was about 3 months back when he was overly exhausted and after an extensive consultation with the vet, it was suspected that Bubbles had a heart ailment. His lungs had water and he...

I am relating an incident that recently happened to a close friend. She's in her 40's and in a downright horrible predicament. Her husband's (I shall call him "H")business...

She was 80 years old when she left us in 2000. It was a hard and difficult time for the whole family because we all relied on...

friendship vs ME

Being the very verbal person that I am, I am now in a predicament. I feel that I am made to choose between friendship and my opinion. It's a very tough decision to make since I believe that we are who we are. Don't you agree ? Knowledge and opinions are a part of education... For me, knowledge is learning...

This is my Pa Pa; my maternal grandfather. He passed away from lung cancer on 28 June, 1985. He was only 63 years old when he died and I still miss him every single day.

my latest toy

I bought this Panasonic Lumix last Monday. It took me some time to decide as I am very careful about spending money on anything that I don;t really need. This...I don't actually need but I decided to treat myself. I'm still trying to learn how to use this babe and instructions tend to become more confusing...

Anwar vs. Saiful

So what's your take on this issue ? Personally, it seems as though the whole issue was a set-up. Was it ? First, Saiful tells the court that he was scared but he "dutifully" complied to Anwar's request to "clean up". Any sane and scared person (would a scared person be sane ?) who have rushed out the door...

We've finally started our new business. It's something that we've been planning for some time now but didn't really have the guts to get into. Yeah....we're into AUTO DETAILING.

service tax on malaysian credit cards

The budget announcement came and went last Friday. Overall, there was nothing spectacular for the individual while the industrialist may already be dancing on the table ! What bothers me most is the imposition of RM50 service tax on each credit card aimed at curbing spending. Here's my story...... I have...

touched

Lately I find myself thinking too much. I start to think about why I'm acting or behaving in a certain way and it dawns on me how much my late grandma and grandpa have both influenced my life. I practically grew up without a father so that's one person who has not made any impact on me whatsoever. I am 42...
