A Parcel From Across The Sea

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

The postman delivered this parcel this afternoon.

“It looks like a bomb,” Marita had told me earlier.

It does indeed look like one. When it did not arrive a few days back, I wondered if it got confiscated. I am going to unwrap it tomorrow and take some nice shots of its content. The lighting is poor now. My digicam cannot take nice shots in low light even with the flash.

Doppelganger?

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

CSTan7 of Sinner’s Ark asked: Blogging Moron or 80’s HongKong Star? He thinks I look like Patrick Tse Yin. This Hong Kong star used to be very good looking. He was most memorable in the eighties’ Hong Kong TV series The Shell Game (Qian Wang Zhi Wang) as Lo Sei Hoi. Go give CSTan7 a piece of your mind. Flame him or agree with him, I do not care.

Who Is The Bigger Moron?

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

According to Jeff Ooi there are bigger morons out there. Here is what he has to say in Malaysia in spotlight… right reasons:

Both Peter Tan and TV Smith have been picked up by media watchers in the US and France for their blogs about the Richter 8.7 Nias Island quake.

For those who don’t understand French, here’s the bebelfish.

If you think Peter is a self-confessed moron (read Instapundit’s one-liner and Jeff Jarvis’s accolades), the bigger ones are here.

Thank you Jeff. It is comforting to know that I am not one-of-a-kind. When “breaking news” has to go through all the layers and layers of protocols and approvals from higher ups, it becomes stale news. Bloggers may not be trained journalists but we get the news out fastest. Judging by the speed that our broadcasters go about disseminating information like this, many will turn to blog aggregators like the Project Petaling Street for the latest updates.
