• Why I’m half the car enthusiast I used to be

 by admin, July 24, 2008

Being a car fan these days demands zero-conscience towards the environment. And you have to be really rich to even qualify as one. Why? It’s not that cars are expensive. It’s the fuel prices that hits the wallet hard long after you hand over the downpayment for a shiny new SUV. I won’t go into saving the environment because I’m guilty too of spoiling mother earth right now. Though not as guilty as those driving SUV fuel guzzlers.

I’m no longer in awe reading about new V-sixes, turbochargers, superchargers or even how the latest Nissan GT-R laps the ring quicker than just about any legal roadcar on the planet right now. Even Formula One, the pinnacle of automobile technology, has stopped making their racing cars faster. Instead new regulations demand Formula One teams to put their R&D into alternative energy conservation, production and efficiency know-how.

• To trial Najib we need a change of government

 July 23, 2008
Karpal Singh’s application to have Najib called as witness in Altantuya’s murder trial is rejected: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/86605 No surprises there. As long as UNMO’s judiciary occupies the highest court of Malaysia, we’ll never see Najib dragged to the courts over Altantuya’s murder trial. With so many allegations linking Najib to Altantuya’s murder, its ridiculous to see Najib easily deny any [...]

• GoDaddy.com sucks

 July 17, 2008
GoDaddy.com sucks! You’ve probably heard that .me domain registration opens today. At this very moment, it was 2 hours ago. I tried my luck searching for ani.me domain name and I was shocked it was available! So I proceeded to check out, paid with my credit card and filed the receipt. Problem was, THE DOMAIN DID NOT [...]

• The best diet pills aren’t cheap

 July 17, 2008
I’ve been browsing websites with diet pill reviews for sometime now and I think the only thing diet pills have in common is the price. They are really expensive don’t you think? I’m talking about the good ones that have garnered rave reviews from consumers. Sometimes, I wonder if I should just take the hard [...]

• Anwar Ibrahim arrested by Malaysian police

 July 16, 2008
Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been arrested by the police at 1pm! By a 15 police car convoy in a high-handed manner. And he’ll be charged under under Section 377C of the Penal Code ‘carnal intercourse against the order of nature’. It’s still sinking in. At this very moment, frustration and disappointment is brewing inside me. [...]

• Oil debate: Anwar Ibrahim (1) vs Shabery Cheek (0)

 July 15, 2008
Did Information Minister Shabery Cheek said he would resign if he failed to defend the Government’s fuel policy? I missed that quote but if that’s indeed the case, he might as well pack up and call the cab. In all my years of writing essays and oratory tests in school, god knows how many times I’ve [...]
