This was our last full day in ChiangMai and one that was not on the official tour. However, our guide was so nice and came to bring us around on his own anyway. We wanted to go to a local morning market to buy some Thai rice and other sundries such as dried longan. Since we did not have the tour company minivan, we went about on local ...

A rather odd thing happened to me recently. One day, while checking my email, I came across an email from an old friend - someone whom I've not seen or heard from in more than 16 years. It was a rather strange sensation, being contacted by someone from my distant past. However, it was also a very curious and interesting experience too!
Anyway, my friend, Angeline had recently ...

My question was simple enough and I was perfectly prepared for a no or a yes but what I got instead was an ambiguous answer that leaves more questions than it answers. I had sent my question and her reply to 3 different people who came back with 4 different interpretations. Plus mine, that gives at least 5 possible interpretations. That's just how ambiguous the answer is that ...

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 ...

I have always been curious about Tunku Kurshiah College (TKC to the older folks and KTK to the younger folks) after a friend of mine from primary school, got admitted into the school. Although I have forgotten how she looked like (I have a vague recollection of some studious looking kid in a headscarf), I can still remember her name. Until today I still sometimes wonder what had ...

I went down to Singapore last week for a number of reasons, one of which, was to visit the place again, as an adult. I used to visit it when I was a kid, as my dad's family hails from Johor Bahru. So, I packed my bags, took out some cash and just went down.
My first problem came as I did not know how to get down to ...

I had a wonderful dinner with my supervisor and his family tonight. The dinner lasted for just over 3 hours and it wasn't because the service was slow. It was just that the company was great. I think that I got to know my supervisor and his family a lot better tonight. We exchanged a lot of stories about our lives and our past. Regardless of what other ...
