[2188] Of one of the reasons why I fell in love with Glebe

Posted in Personal, Photography on April 9th, 2010 No Comments »

I live a good 20 minutes worth of walking away from my campus and probably 30 minutes from my school. This is a far cry from what it used to be last year, when it was more Ann Arbor-like for me. While in Darlington, I could afford to wake up just 20 minutes before classes [...]

[2171] Of a story of migration

Posted in Personal, Politics & government, Society on March 3rd, 2010 2 Comments »

A dear friend was in Sydney recently. For old times’ sake, he called me up and asked if I was free for the day. I said yes. How could I say no? Both of us are Malaysians and both of us attended Michigan. We had some good times together. We had not met for a [...]

[2157] Of the Australian Open and I’m lovin’ it

Posted in Personal, Photography, Sports on January 27th, 2010 No Comments »

I first kept abreast with development in soccer after watching the 1995 Champions League final on television, I think, when Ajax Amsterdam won the European Cup. The 2010 Australian Open is the tennis equivalence of that for me. I think, I am a tennis fan now. I was at my first ever Grand Slam several [...]

I used to marvel at friends whose frequent relocation is part of their lives. Long ago when I was prodding through the national education system learning addition, subtraction and the like, I would quiz them on how was it like to live wherever they lived. Some lived so far away in Labuan on the other [...]

[2141] Of alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio

It was an email produced after a sequence “guided by pure randomness.” He said he might need a place to stay for a day or two, or maybe more in Australia. I think I just woke up from a nap because I found myself unclear when exactly he planned to come. Apparently, he must have [...]

[2115] Of me, writing in general, blogging specifically

Posted in Personal, This blog on November 28th, 2009 1 Comment »

I have not been blogging actively for the past few months. This is mostly due to my commitment to The Malaysian Insider. I have discovered that maintaining a column is harder than consistently updating a blog. I do not know how others do it but I certainly have to make compromise among various choices. Number [...]

[2077] Of me and political compass

Posted in Personal, Politics & government on September 11th, 2009 No Comments »

I admit. Sometimes, I go on egosurfing. I Google myself. Wow. That sounds worse than I thought it would be. Anyway, this habit of mine began when somebody impersonated me online. To address the situation, one of few things that I did was to scan the internet for my name with the intention of repairing [...]
