Sometime in 2001, probably in March (I can't exactly remember when, but definitely earlier than May), I received a phone call from my mother. Never have I thought that that particular call would bring a major change in my life. Forward to May 2001. That phone call is basically what the Malays termed as 'merisik'. Although, in my case, it was kinda reverse-merisik since it should be the guy's

I have a confession : I'm a gameshow junkie. Ever since 'Tekaria" aired on RTM some time in the 1980s, I'm hooked enough that I 'participate' in the shows. My wife even suggested that I auditioned whenever the producers are considering the next season of the show(s).

As Muslims we know that our religion is The Truth. There are no ifs and buts about it. However as Allah has given us the brain to think and with human's curiosity, it is natural that we want more answers and proof to strengthen our faith. There are plenty of things and happenings around us to show His Greatness and even science has proved it. However there are still people who makes things up in

When I was a kid, we children were warned not to wander or play alone because some nasty guy armed with a sickle might spot us and lop our heads off. The severed heads will then be buried underneath bridging projects so that the 'water spirits' are appeased and won't interfere with the projects.

The debate whether man has set foot on Earth's only natural satellite rages on 39 years after the last flight of the Apollo space program in 1972.

The Malaysian national football team has been eliminated from getting a place in the Group Stage of the Asian Qualifying Rounds for World Cup 2014 by Singapore.

Chief among them is that the consumers are basically 'forced' to buy the 'lower grade' 95 RON fuel (as it is cheaper). But what takes the

Starting from the 1st of January this year, major hyper/supermarkets and certain other consumer outlets have started their 'no plastic bag day' on every Saturday as per the Government directive. While not considering myself a tree-hugger, I welcome this move by the government (OK, granted that it was actually the PR-led state governments who started the campaign a number of months before that,

As many have already known, one of Melaka's attraction was the beca ride. The becas are brightly painted and for the most part, outrageously decorated.

Actually this is news to me. Apparently in 1937 the name 'Malaysia' was coined by a Harvard scholar with...you guess it, Masonic ties. It was all part of their grand plan to rule the world and the nation that will be known as Malaysia then, plays a significant role. Also in 1943, that year's copy of Ripley's Believe It Or Not also includes the term 'Malaysia'. So apparently the late Tunku Abdul

The Hari Raya ( Ramadhan really) has already claimed its first fatality...not from the oh-so-frequent road accidents but from firecracker 'mishap'. That was the recent incident at Terengganu where an explosion killed a boy and badly wounding two others. According to the police (I knew this when reading my brother's blog) the idiots (really, I'm not going to pull punches here) stuffed the

Sometimes I find it ironic that during Ramadhan when Muslims all over the world are required to fast (hence less food consumption) there are actually more food sold than during the rest of the year! Anyway, since we are living in a basically 9-to-5 world, these sellers are a Godsend allowing us to buy food for iftar (or even sahur), so that we do not have to prepare it ourselves.Even though my

Burgers. Who has not tasted them yet? Apparently this most 'basic' of Western food is now part and parcel of food available to Malaysians...from high-end fares in expensive steakhouses to the humble roadside stall versions. Personally, I came to know about burgers when I browsed through my mother's cookbooks and adverts of the comparatively few quick-serving restaurants then operational in

Nowadays the internet is a fertile ground for the propagation of conspiracy theorists. These, sorry to say, ultra-paranoid individuals have the impression that everything that happens in the world is part of some secret society's plan to conquer the world.
