Running Away

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

It began with thinking it’s a nice melody, and then when I read the lyrics, it just struck me like a bolt of lightning. I don’t usually post lyrics of songs here (actually, I never do), but this is just so precious to me right now that I can’t help it.
Running Away by Midnight Hour

Empathy

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Ghost Whisperer

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

I’ve been watching Ghost Whisperer for a couple of days now and I’m always annoyed when Melinda tries to tell the person in the movie about what the ghost said to her. I’m annoyed that she always shortens the original, super contracting it. For example:

Saving Money

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I recently read a post by Adam Khoo and I felt ashamed. This bloody bugger saves 80% of his income while I’m barely even saving 10%!

Old Picture Renewed

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Hey if the government can recycle a sodomy charge, so can I right? I’ll recycle an old picture then:

Haiih-YEAH! Don’t pray pray Najis! I’m not afraid of C4!
I hope my post did not insult Islam or the Prophet. Or the national anthem. Or the nation flag. Or ask mosques to stop their azan calls.
Please don’t […]
