While communicating with Brooklands Motors personnel, once again we have been shocked by the way they have miscommunicated important information to the buyers, like us. The details on discussion between us and the distributor are still on going, so will not be able to share more at this moment. It is a great car with lots of [...]


Baby Inez is approaching tenth month, this August.  While buying her pyjamas yesterday, I was surprise with how soon and fast our daughter has grown.  Maybe because we have spent lesser time with her, in comparison with our twin sons (we were less busy nine years ago). We do all we could to spend as [...]


Beamfest, originated by someone from MyPDACafe since its inception, (I think) about 6 or 7 years ago.  However, over time, the site is not active anymore, with dropping of visitation to the forum and site, MyPDACafe is probably still popular in Penang, but not in Klang Valley anymore. However, it used to be a platform [...]


While sleeping rather late last night (watching the end of Ironman 2 & also checking company financial status for month end etc), I fell asleep after having to pamper Baby Inez to sleep, mainly by having her to be close to Retna (so she could feed her).  (evil laugh) When I finally entered into the [...]

Both home and office required new air-conditioners as the current ones are due for change.  Contacted the existing air-cond technician and found the pricing was way too high.  Went to Panasonic site, then contacted few of them, found one suitable vendor that knew the stuff and technical aspects of installation and requirements well, so I [...]


After seeing how Japan could not make it through to the World Cup semi-final this morning, it is like losing a sales pitch. One could have prepared all his or her might for an important event, but during the pitch, one screwed, and that would be the end of it. However, it should not be [...]


While attending the Kaspersky Lab APAC Partners Conference 2010, I was registered for a singing contest during the Celebration Dinner.  So, I tried my best to find a song that I could play and possibly sing, which is other than praise and worship song choice…. So, there we go, U2′s I Still Haven’t Found What [...]


In the recent Kaspersky Lab’s trip to Krakow, we had a transit from Paris to Kuala Lumpur.  Knowing the time was kind of short – about two hours, however the flight from Krakow with LOT took extra 30 minutes to arrive.  So, we had about 1.5 hours to do check-in and get on board to [...]


During the recent traveling, have the opportunity to meet and talk to few business owners from different trades – food, car sales and distributions, engineering and consultancy.  One interesting thing that I asked them, how would one business survive for like one year, two or even thirty years (one business owner I talked to have [...]

What would you do with the 3.5 hours that you have? Staying at home, be productive, finishing the datelines, get home work done? What about time with family members, teach the children, be with our lovely spouse, cooking for the love ones? How about using it to solve problems?  What if the problems are not [...]

Negative myths were busted as he found the truth after using his Mac. Samuel listed out his favourite apps, his favourite browser being Chrome. [...]

When Azul, one of the founding members of Malaysia Mac User Group, or better known as MyMUG, first contacted me about being one of the speaker for upcoming MyMUG MacFest, meeting for Mac users once every two months, I was surprised and honored, simply I am still a rather ‘green’ Mac user.  However, I accepted [...]


While having Inez with us at work on Sunday, we recorded this video as she was attracted to the computer screen. It was the first time, with Apple Photo Booth video recording.  Have fun!


As more Malaysian retail stores and supermarkets get on the environmental bandwagon and do away with plastic bags for purchases, consumers need to be prepared to tote their purchases away. Why not increase your ‘green’ credibility with a stylish, convenient and easy to carry alternative to the boring and difficult to fold down to a [...]


Beng and Lee Yee went back to work today, after a week of honey moon. Selected pictures in the read more section.  


After many blog entries on Ladang Harcroft and perhaps a single site with the most tag on the school, I have been contacted several times by parents of Ladang Harcroft – either existing or future for comments and feedback. Two parents actually asked me to answer their queries related to their children unsuccessful enrolling to [...]


I just feel like being Anthony Robbins with that clip-on microphone that was used during the media preview of Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure this morning. Maybe I should have lost more pounds before being asked to be the emcee for the event.  :) Anyway, I might have a chance to go for a trial of [...]
