    The Polygamy Club of Malaysia Is Real

    The Polygamy Club of Malaysia Is Real
    Polygamy may seem out of place in an Asian democracy proud of its skyscrapers, high-tech skills and go-getter economy.

    A Full Circle And Back Again To Where I Began

    Last night, I popped into a Gramaphone store to grab a Yo-Yo Ma album (which ever one would do) because the wife wanted to get a hi-fi for the bedroom to listen to classical music straining through the night. It was then that I was pleasantly reminded that several Beatles albums had been remastered so [...]


    Wake Up, The Truth Is Ugly

    “the ideal man, according to wimmen”
    The under-age girl (I wonder what happens when she gets old and has to change her moniker. Would she be ‘over-the-hill girl’ or ‘not-so-young-anymore girl’?) wrote a blogpost about her Mr Right. It’s about as SOP as you can get. I think she has serious daddy issues and I have [...]

    Victory Is Sweet, But What Next?

    The last 3 days of my life has been anything less than normal.

    Behold, The New Age Way Of Skinning A Cat

    One of my staff told me that I never ’scold’ people. I do get grumpy, but when I confront people I tend to do it in a passive-aggressive manner. She even compiled a list of stuff I say:
