So it’s tax season as most of you well know, everyone is scrambling to get their Borang BE and get it filled in or trying out the new E-filing system (which works surprisingly well). Earlier today I headed to LHDN PJ (Just off the LDP opposite side of Giant near to MBPJ Stadium), conveniently it’s […]

Apology From Malay Mail For Publishing Without Permission
Ok so last week my article about PR and bloggers together with David’s article was published in the Malay Mail without permission. I wrote a fairly strongly worded e-mail to the Malay Mail to question their behavior and asked what they planned to do about the copyright infringement. Surprisingly they replied quickly, politely and professionally […]
Getting Serious About Backup – Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition 2TB
I’ve been thinking about backup for quite a while, I’ve been considering online – but I have too much data (photographs in RAW format are BIG) and it’s still too slow (we don’t have fibre to the home like Korea). Up until now I’ve been using a normal 2.5″ external HDD to backup all the […]

5 Years in Malaysia – Come and Gone
As of February 11th 2009 I’ve been living in Malaysia for 5 years, that’s quite some time. Although due to my accent people tend to think I’ve been here much longer. Yes I never had a Hugh Grant accent in the first place, actually only a minority of English people actually have what we call […]
More Woes….Water This Time
After having a filling fall out I thought I should be ok for a while in terms of bad fortune, but it seems not! Oddly when I got back from the UK the water was fine, but perhaps it was just running out what was in the tank and the pipes…anyway now I have no […]

So a while back….I had a photoshoot lined up for a Sunday morning 3-4 models, make-up artist, location was set and everything was ready to go.. I was pretty tired from the previous day of shooting (10+ hours straight) but I crawled out of bed, ready to rock again. I felt something in my mouth, […]
Expensive Expensive? Fuel Price up to RM2.70 Per Litre!
So the petrol price has gone up by 78cents, approximately 40%…that’s a pretty hefty hike. I’m sure everyone knows about it by now. Most people feel like this. Judging by the horrific jams last night near every petrol station (3-4km tailbacks according to radio traffic reports) it seems like most of the country had heard […]
