The city of Kuching appears worn out. But not its welcome, nor its charm. This is anytime better than a concrete jungle that’s spiffy but soul-less. Most of the residents do look the rough, tough and tumble type, but all you need to do is smile, and they’ll blush sooner than they can hide their missing teeth. That said, there’s a lot of beauty in this. It’s that, urgh,...

that so-called trickle-down economics
When the rich and the powerful plunder everything there is to be plundered, which is everything, the poor are left to steal from the even poorer. Posted via email from me on mute | Comment »

There are simply too many chords to learn. And my fingers are really, really not long enough for the guitar. Hey, nothing’s perfect. But they can still be the best things. Posted via email from me on mute | Comment »
small penis?
Boy have I got two phallic and platitudinous structures, and the people’s hard-earned tax dollars, for you. If you have to compensate, by all means, over-compensate. Posted via email from me on mute | Comment »

I’d like to dedicate this International Women’s Day to my wife, without whom the day, or any day, would pass with nary an awe and inspiration. Posted via email from me on mute | Comment »

I’ve never had problems with coordination. So I took up drum lessons. If you see me shake my leg as I sit down eating or anything, please don’t think I’m the cocky or restless type. I’m just practicing in between things. Posted via web from me on mute | Comment »

Yet. Not.

Gastronomical Inebriation.
I have my drugs. They’re Kelantanese laksa freshly made by mom. All three full plates I had. I didn’t take any pictures. Could be too salivatingly obscene.
This conditioning to think twice before saying anything. Kind of effects my tumblr-ing too.
This has got to be the quietest Saturday for me. Minus this tweet, I spoke hardly a thousand words the whole day.

Paulo Coelho. Ab-normalcy.
Some over-research. Some not at all. The problem with paralysis isn’t research then. It’s knowing too much. And knowing nothing.

Megalomaniacs and holier-than-thou bigots. Picture them in their cheap underwear. They lose power instantly.
I work best when I get rid of people. I mean, leave them and their problems at the office. Internet connection’s faster from home anyway.

I notice that some just email me work not for the sake of quick, more efficient process. But because they have mundane parties to go to.
Hate it when I have to worry more about overheads than headlines.
What happened to the greasy-palmed?
I made a creative presentation to members of the new State Government the other day. It was uplifting that the exchange and interaction were intelligent, inspiring, cordial, transparent and well worth my many sleepless nights. I have made many presentations to State Governments before. This time I noticed many positive differences. The most obvious was: when I shook hands, the palms weren’t...

GIVE IT LIFE. NOTHING ELSE.
That’s the campaign slogan I wrote for a river restoration project the agency is working on. Simple insight. We need people to participate. But people are generally hesitant if they had to do anything.

Should work. Methinks.
