"Famous Malaysian blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin speaks for the first time since his alleged escape from Malaysia. Now branded as a fugitive, he talks about his experience with the Malaysian police and the Special Branch, solitary confinement in the Kamunting Detention Center, his meeting with murdered Mongolian model Altantuyaa Shaariibuu's father and other topics that are sure to keep Malaysian's

Not everyone has a garage or a garage large enough to accomodate all their cars on my street here in North Shore suburbia. People love to park their cars on the kerb over here- maybe because there isn't enough car theft to deter them from parking on public property......So that makes life difficult for those of us who park our cars in our garages. It's so hard to negotiate your way around these

Man to marry: Actor Simon Baker from TV's "The Mentalist" and "The Guardian".... bankable husband and father material. - Australian actor based in the US, down to earth and low-key father of 3, married to the same woman forever.- Rugged bloke- doesn't take himself too seriously and does not buy any of that hollywood crap.- Looks like a REAL man, not a pretty boy.

My absence from blogging has been due to the fact that I needed a break from the renovation drama around me and I wanted to spend some time with my family.The family time was great- we all enjoyed our time together. Uneventful and happy.Over a family meal in KL, I spoke to a relative who is currently the long standing MP of a certain seat. I've always been close to this relative (I use that term

Lately, blogging isn't what it used to be. I used to spew forth all my guts on each post. Let it all hang out. Fun, actually.That was 5 years ago. I was about to turn 30.That was a year before I took my MBA hiatus (from blogging and from my life).When I started blogging again, I was so lost.BUT during my hiatus from life, I DID change.I sensor myself a lot more these days.

There should be a name given to all these new social situations that we're put in just because we have Facebook now.

Hello. Its been a while since an angsty post.I woke up this morning from a disturbing ex-boyfriend dream thanks to Facebook.Facebook is a funny little old social networking phenomenon that we could do without. But we won't for some deep, dark, ugly reason. (Not something I find as practical as Twitter.)The facebook facts: I know that this ex, a baby faced older man (no, not the divorced one) is
