Going Outside to Play

When I was growing up, I used to play football a lot, and always try to leave home around 4:30pm to return as late as 7:30pm or earlier if my mom comes to the field to greet me with a cane! LOL! If I didn’t get to play football in the evenings, I became grumpy. [...]

I have to admit, with some people I hate, I still hold grudges no matter how hard I tried to forgive them. Who? Relatives. How can I forgive a number of relatives who alienated my mom, my brother and I when my father died in 1986? I won’t go into details but it has scarred [...]

I love kuihs. Always been a sucker for them, especially kuihs ladened with coconut. Kuih Kaswi (Kosui), Pulut Inti, Buah Melaka (Onde Onde), Lepat Pisang and Kuih Dadar. Thanks to my not-too-distant Peranakan relations of Gajah Berang Melaka, 2 generations ago.

Spooked in Tasik Kenyir

Warning: My longest entry. Have you ever been spooked before? Not by other humans I mean, by ghostly matters. I think most of us had our fair share of encounters, and I’m sure most of them are just our minds playing tricks on us.
