Weirdster

Posted by narrowband - 22/02/07 at 10:02:46 pm

Someone added me in MSN recently. I thought he was a blogger, so I asked what his URL was. He replied with a “URL?”, and added: “Friendster got lah”. I was surprised. This stranger (a guy, if I may add) actually found me via Friendster, and decided to befriend me. Ok, I thought we might have something in common – nevermind the fact that he didn’t have a website (and wasn’t even closely connected to my Friendster network). And then our conversation developed into something weird. I thought it was pretty obvious we were both male. But it seemed like he was expecting something else. Like I was a half-girl or something. I dunno.

Look I don’t like to dwell on topics like.. er.. our sexuality.., especially during such tender stage of acquaintanceship. It’s weird, man! I asked him “So what made you decide to add me in your MSN”. He said, “I don’t know leh?”. I mean he’s not even chatting like a real, grown-up gentleman. Right. Well anyway, I have chosen to believe that he’s an innocent dude who is only interested in seeking nothing more than just pure friendship. Damn, that itself sounds… oh nevermind.

Happy Chinese New Year

Posted by narrowband - 16/02/07 at 10:02:50 am

It’s going to be one of those times when you don’t have any problems finding a parking in Taipan at any time of the day. It’s also one of those times when I dread to think about the questions my relatives will ask me during our reunion dinner.

Those are the cookies in my house. Oh man there’ll be lots of work to do after the holidays (even during!). Meanwhile, I guess blogging will slow down a bit. Happy Chinese New Year to you all!

VMY2007: The Eye on Malaysia

Posted by narrowband - 12/02/07 at 12:02:03 am

Actually, I had expected the ferris wheel to be larger. But then again, I wouldn’t want the government to spend too much money on this alone either. Anyway, since it was widely publicized, we decided to pay The Eye on Malaysia a visit.

Pride of KL: RM400K Public Washroom

Posted by narrowband - 07/02/07 at 01:02:19 pm

I said I wanted to take a leak. “RM1 per entry, the one I went to just now”, Bernard said with a sigh, referring to the washroom in Lowyat. “RM1 per entry, hmm”, I thought. “I’ll just hold it a little longer”. As we were exiting the complex, I remembered something. The whopping RM400K public washroom nearby! It wasn’t within our sight yet, but it was just a stone’s throw away from where we were. We did some walking and found the washroom that everyone has been talking about.

The Amazing Vista Walk Hunt

Posted by narrowband - 04/02/07 at 02:02:07 am

It wasn’t that amazing. Probably the only amazing thing was the way some of the answers were explained. Ok, ok, I didn’t win. You could tell, eh? (Darn – goes to show I’m not really much of a treasure hunt-kinda dude)

2000 Bloggers

Posted by narrowband - 01/02/07 at 09:02:40 pm

Heard about the 2000 Bloggers community on MyBlogLog? Tino Buntic‘s project aims to gather 2000 photos and links from all over the world. It’s also something like a showcase of diversity in the blogosphere. And…

I made it in too! Can you imagine all the photos are hosted on Photobucket? The bandwidth limit had to be increased in order to support the traffic! I don’t know how Tino adds everyone – it seems like it’s done manually. He even alt-ed me as ‘David’. Imagine doing the same for everyone else. In the end, he’ll have done it 2000 times.

Reviving a Washing Machine-Soaked Nokia 6230

Posted by narrowband - 01/02/07 at 11:02:55 am

Ok, mom’s phone somehow made its way into a washing machine. The first thing not to do was of course to try switching it back on immediately. Instead, I had its casing, battery and SIM card removed (anything else was gonna get a little tricky).
