A far cry from the tabloid look

by admin, May 15, 2008

A few months ago, I saw Bond girl Michelle Yeoh at a shopping mall’s cafe. I remember my first reaction was hey, that lady looks familiar. She had her shades on so I can’t really tell but my sister-in-law insisted it’s her alright.

She’s not aging well for a woman her age. Her complexion is fairly dark, and coupled with a thin frame and tired looking skin, is a farcry from the tabloid images of Michelle Yeoh.

National protection for Proton about to end?

The Malaysian government today teased us that Proton will no longer enjoy protectionism in our local car market. It was announced by our prime minister at the Parliament on Tuesday. I should among those jumping for joy but knowing our government, I’ve learned to believe only when I see plans being implemented for good. In [...]

What I’ll do with my next bonus

May 7, 2008
Never a day goes by I don’t regret not maxing out the RAM in my computer. My AMD Sempron box uses DDR1 sticks and I’ve got 512MB x 2 which makes it 1GB. One gigabyte of RAM was enough three years ago. Then again I was only photoshopping pictures downloaded from a 4 megapixel digital [...]
