Have a good labor day!

Google Is Hiring!

I just got this in my mailbox just now, via Jobstreet. If I didn’t have a job, I would so apply. The advert is one of the coolest I’ve seen in awhile. It’s for a Localization Editor based in Singapore, if any of you think you qualify, do apply, I’m sure it will be [...]

Pages after pages of reports on BN and some random Opposition news. So biased, I stay clear of reading election reports in the local papers because [...]

I posted an entry about starting to love Nine Inch Nails once again after so long the other day. After that period in my life, there was somewhat a dearth of good music in my life. Understandably so, I was influenced heavily by the sounds I found in Buffalo, which was a lot of Puerto [...]

Headless Chicken Run

Adam has described it so well, that I suppose I don’t have much to say.
Kuching is a lovely town, much of it quaint. I especially loved the area around Merdeka Palace and Padang Merdeka. The people speak in a charmingly lilted accent, and they are cordial and full of hospitality. It reminded me a lot [...]
