Sybreon Ones Nought

I thought about writing this entry after replying an earlier comment. I am not a normal person by any measure. Granted, everyone is a unique individual but I am also weird on so many levels all stemming from the way that my brain works. An example of my weirdness is exemplified by the simple request for a spoonful of rice. I can recall the very event that happened ...

Education scholarships. Our government disburses many of them through its many agencies and government linked companies. We are fortunate in that we have one of the most generous national governments, when it comes to educational funding. However, there are many things about these scholarships that trigger an emotional response when people talk about them. This reminds me of a TehTarik session that we once had where someone, who ...

I successfully made it home in one piece, although there were several interesting things that happened along the way. I think that this is probably the most eventful flight that I had ever been on. So, I thought that I'd share a few of the things that had happened on that fateful day. It all started with the coach ride to the airport. When we left Stansted, the coach ...

The hopes of an entire nation rested on his shoulders and I guess that it was a little too much to bear. As this was our country's greatest hope for an Olympic gold medal, most of the Malaysians left in Cambridge gathered in my living room to watch the match and boy were we disappointed. It was so obvious from the beginning that it was a trashing, and ...

I have been visiting a local kebab shop daily, for the last few weeks. It is the best kebab shop that I have found in Cambridge, so far. Sometimes, I have all my meals there but usually, I just have my dinner from the shop. I was introduced to the kebab shop by a couple of my housemates. They used to get supper from there every few days. One ...

Most of my Malaysian friends have been waiting for it to snow because they have never seen it snow before. Many were disappointed when the promised snow did not come yesterday. But their wishes have been granted today, on Easter Sunday. I woke up this morning to see a nice blanket of snow covering everything in sight. I contemplated what to do with the snow. Every year that I've ...
