Disoriented musings of a technology romantic. Copious amounts of salt recommended with each reading.

Day 5: Karen, Art and Shopping Malls

We started our day by visiting the tribal people - Karens. These are those famous long-necked women that depress their collar bones for beauty. The thing that interested me more during our visit was their use of local engineering and technology. I observed that their roofs were made with regular dried leaves and they used water power for their machines. Such things interest me because I'm a hardcore ...

Shopping at The Gardens

My sister dragged her whole family out shopping at The Gardens today. Seeing that I have never actually shopped around there before, I decided to tag along. I have been told that it is filled with stuff that nobody can actually afford to buy and seeing the crowd that 'throngs' the place, I would have to agree with that perception. Instead of the regular fair that you find in ...

New Shirts

The Hari Raya sales are on until early October. So, I decided to go do some shopping today, for a few new shirts. As I had mentioned earlier, I was forced to bin all my clothes at Heathrow because my luggage was too heavy. I did some shopping at the beginning of the month, but only for essentials as I was waiting for this sale season to start. While ...

White Easter

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 ...
