Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Star Q


In a situation where you carry the important responsibility to defend your country's name and honour, the public will look upon you as their saviour.  They expect you to have a squeaky clean image without any cobwebs in your closet let alone having hidden skeletons.  The public wants you to be a super human who has no flaws whatsoever.

What's In A (Road) Name

Star Q


When I think about all the main roads in this country, be they popular roads with heavy traffic or even lonely, village roads, the names given to these roads would have been given much thought.  I personally often wonder at these names, and then I sink back into my seat and accept that the names given to them are probably justified especially if they are named after people, whether living or deceased.

This Orkid Is Not An Orchid

Star Q


I am attending another three-day course yet again and today is the first day of the course and thankfully the night slot has just ended; exactly on time.  I always hate it when during courses like this, the speakers get carried away with what they are presenting (and sometimes out of topic!) and lose track of time, leaving the course participants fidgeting in their seats, eager to go back to their rooms for a well-deserved rest.

A Quaint Little Shah

Star Q


It has been a very busy second half of the year for me; attending courses back-to-back for seven weeks in a row.  Who ever said attending courses is something to look forward to and not to be missed is obviously missing a marble or two.

An Immigrant In My Own Country

Star Q


Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, one of the busiest roads in Kuala Lumpur, used to be my favourite haunts many, many years ago; twenty-three years ago to be exact.  I was doing my one-year specialist course there and so almost every weekend I would take the bus to the city bus terminal and walked all the way there and back.

A Go at Flamingo

I would be lost if I were to have driven to this side of Ampang on my own.  But I was lucky that all the driving was done by a colleague who knew her way around the area albeit with a little help from Mr. Waze!  

After Two Years.....

Can't believe that I have been too busy to write that I have actually left this blog untouched for two long years.  A lot of thing...
