“To all the girls I loved before …” sang Julio Iglesias.
And I’ll sing that for my grandmother, who’s 93 this year, my mum (I am not allow to disclose her age), to my wife and my youngest sister (both in their 30s) and my mother-out-law (just joking), wishing you a very happy mother’s day tomorrow.
I am glad that RPK can now go home and celebrate mother’s day with Marina. Forget Sedition Act for one day, at least the man can be with his family and back home to regain his health. Continue
I walked into the bank for some errands and one of the sales executive standing at the front door passed me an Application Form for their bank’s Credit Card. She said it was subscription-free and if I charge more than a certain amount a day, they will double my bonus points beyond that. Besides, she said, I can also use it like a normal Touch N’ Go card at any of the highway tolls. And the ‘killer application’ is that, I can save 5% of my petrol fuel if I charge my petrol bills to the Credit Card. Ummh, sounds interesting. I took the piece of paper from her and had a quick look at it.
Then I asked her a question, “What’s this column for?” “It says ‘Race’?”
Does it mean I have to be on ‘Amazing Race’ before I can qualify? Continue
I was having a chat with a friend on Friday night, 2 May 2008 at Mont Kiara Starbucks and among other things, the issue of Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) came up. Since he was an expert on Corporate Growth Strategy and Rebranding, I took out my notebook and started to take down all the goody stuff.
We touched on some of the industries that were saved as a result of Management implementing BOS. And the results were very tangible. Growth in ‘revenue’ and ‘repeat sales’ were prominent among the indicators. But most important was that these were translated into positive ‘bottom lines’ consistently at the end of each year.

I received a host of emails today asking me what do I think about the Sedition Act 1948 vis a vis my post on If RPK is ‘Charged’ for Sedition - Good or Bad?
I quickly relook at the Sedition Act of 1948 (coincidentally, this grandfatherly draconian piece of legislation is 60 years old this year and has never been updated nor repealled in any of its sections) and try to find if RPK’s post and/or any of his action warrants the use of the Sedition Act against him.
‘Sedition’ in the Act is define as an act that “brings into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the Government or engender feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races” Continue
There once lived a loving couple in the coastal area of Kampung Dolak Ensur. Due to unknown reasons, the couple remain healthy but just never seem to be able to conceive any children. Despite this, their lives remain happy and contented because they had each other.
Because of the proximity they lived, fish was plentiful in their diet. Big fish, small fish. White fish, black fish, you name it, they have tasted it. The wife was a good cook and she had always managed to fulfill her husbands cravings for variety - eventhough the staple food is fish, not rice!
For the love of her husband, the wife has always served him ‘fish head’ (which she thinks is the best part of the fish) while she herself took the fish tail (which she thinks is highly undesirable).
This went on for 40 years. Continue
