Last Friday night I met up with my girlfriends over dinner at Umai-ya which recently opened in IOI Boulevard. Located in a commercial area directly opposite IOI Mall, IOI Boulevard’s concept follows after Jaya One, with an array of coffee joints, bars, restaurants and an occasional live band performing in the foyer. Built within an…

Rainbow
Now that Zachary is 10 weeks old, he’s more interactive with us, the other people around him, and even his toys. Yup, I caught him chillaxing with Rainbow. Meet Rainbow. Rainbow is from Lamaze’s Play & Grow range and its secret agent codename is Pupsqueak. He’s so damn colourful hence the name. Press his nose…
To: Boss
No, this isn’t a letter I prepared for my boss. I found it in our office mailbox. I was curious so I opened it up. It was a brochure from so-called licensed money lenders. Amazing I thought, that nowadays Ah Long’s invest in envelopes and a “TO: BOSS” rubber stamp. I must praise them though…
Cloth diapers
I first heard about cloth diapers from eco-loving-mom Leona who has been cloth diapering her son Josiah as soon as he could fit in them diapers. I was keen on trying these cloth diapers out too, hoping for an alternative to the traditional cotton lampin and the much loved disposable diapers. Finally, Zack has grown…

I’ve always wondered why
Guys wind down the driver side window put their right hand out of the car as if “clutching” the side of the door? OR resting their elbow on the window frame and grasping the top of the frame with their hand? Some cars are patched up like Frankenstein? i.e. bonnet, door, back door, spoilers, bumpers…
Winner of worst customer service – Logenhaus Taipan USJ
We had our team lunch today at Logenhaus in Taipan USJ. We’ve never been here and the Bosh suggested trying the place out since 1) it sounded German and 2) they sell beer. The place looks kinda shabby, the décor is minimal and it really didn’t give me the impression that we’re gonna get any…
Dizzy bee
The last 2 nights I woke up groaning in agony because of a serious dizzy spell attack and a feeling horribly nauseated. I thought of the worse. I thought my postural vertigo is back to haunt me from my 1st trimester days. Believe me, it is the worst feeling on earth. The room spins before…
Christmas break
So, for the last 6 years of my working life I’ve maintained a practice to burn all of my annual leave at the end of the year from Christmas on to New Year’s. This year it’s no different. Somehow the break gives me a sense of feeling like I’m just like the school kids, I…
so, i am a columnist?
Yup. I have my own column in a local business magazine aptly named “The Business Issues”. The brainchild of my former colleague and friend Dillon, he was looking for contributors to “contribute” articles for the magazine–and what do you know he approached @amTaurus who then roped me in and we both are part time columnists…
