Home - Seri Sentosa (Peaceful and Tranquil)

14 years ago, I moved in to Taman Seri Sentosa.  It seems like a million years ago.  It didn't feel like home then, and every day as I drove home from work, I wondered when I would feel like I was going home.

Eventually I got used to the area and made new friends.  In retrospect, it is hard to remember the exact moment that this place became "home".

I have lived in the following areas: Tiong Nam (KL), Setapak Gardens, Masjid India (KL), Damansara Utama, Kepong and Section 14 (PJ).  

In conclusion, this quote rings true that "A small house can hold as much happiness as a big one".

HAPPY 54 YEARS

A matter of face

I've been slack in writing here.  Sometimes I have so many things I want to say but I also have so many things that I want to do and usually that wins.

Today, I feel like ranting about something.

What do you all think about someone requesting me to be a Facebook friend and I accept.  

Later when I changed my profile picture to something other than my photo, that someone got annoyed.  So annoyed that he insisted I put a picture of myself showing my "face" because this is Facebook.   

Even when I said that it's not a requirement of Facebook, and that all my photos are visible now that we are already friends, it was still not acceptable.  In the end, I told that person to delete me.

I know that people put up all sorts of pictures/logos/pets/kids/sceneries and what not.  Who cares what you want to put up?  What counts is the person behind that Facebook account.

I believe this is infringing on a person's freedom of expression.  If you fail this test, then you can't be my friend.   I can't be your friend.  We cannot be friends.

Facebook is a great filter for the small-minded people out there.  I have now rid myself of one of them.

Beauty is in the "i" of the beholder!

Lo and behold, that's me with my iPhone and iPad2.  Thanks to Steven Jobs and Stephen Grosse.

Earlier, Stephen gave me an iPod.  I didn't use it very much.  Then I found out that if you combine your iPod with Mitone Speakers, you get a remarkable sound system.

I was already satisfied with my Blackberry but when the contract to upgrade the phone came up, Stephen decided to get me the iPhone.  Two weeks later, he got me the iPad2.

I found these on the net and it seems appropriate to share it here.

The realities of relatives

Who is a 'relative'?

a person who is connected with another or others by blood or marriage.

I've found that there are relatives and there are relatives. Or so people say when they want to imply that some relatives are nice and others are not so nice.

The reality is that relatives often think that they know best. By virtue of the fact that they are a relative, they believe that their opinions are the only ones that count. They cannot see beyond that and refuse to consider any other option as being correct except theirs. This is a reality.

The reality is that relatives often want to be the first to hear news. They need to be the first to convey information they pick up, even when it's not true. This is a reality.

The reality is that relatives often cause more damage than good even if they have the best intentions. They are unable to see the big picture and only judge from one small vantage point but shout the loudest.

Fortunately, one negative relative can be neutralised by another positive relative.

Thankfully, the reality is that the good ones far outweigh the bad ones.

I met Daniel and Yunni there.  Two young Malaysians who dropped by at the Speakers Corner to lend their support on a Saturday afternoon.  Meeting them gives me hope that the next generation are generally headed in the right direction.


I left at about 3.30 pm.  Before I left, I took a count of the people there and I can safely say that more than 150 people turned up.


If you were present at Hong Lim Park, please feel free to tag yourself on my album.  I have put the setting to 'Friends of Friends'.


Overall, it was a nice afternoon.  Pity I couldn't stay any longer.
