While surfing for some pancake recipes, I stumbled upon this fairy tale by the Grimm brothers. It has a good moral, so tell it to the kids.
THERE WAS once on a time a mother who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was rude and wicked, the second much better, although
she had her faults, but the youngest was a pious, good child. The mother was, however, so strange, that it was just the eldest daughter whom she most loved, and she could not bear the youngest.
When it comes to gadgets, most of us just use the bare minimum functions. We may have an entire gizmo of A to Z functions at our disposal but we’re usually content with using the ABCs only.
Who’s that? That’s me. Go read today’s Star In-tech Startbox column. Confessions of a Blog Addict isn’t online or I would have linked it.
If anyone came here after reading the article, allow me to say, “Well done, Sherlock Holmes.” (Neither the url nor the blog title was published.)
When Jien announced, “Your Malaysian Idol is… Daniel!” I screamed and screamed while no. 1 and 2 sat stunned on the couch. We were rooting for Nita whom we believe had more oomph and talent. But Daniel Lee had 1.2 million voters, most of them teeny-boppers presumably. He had 68% of the total votes. Looks like the online poll on the Malaysian Idol website was quite accurate : 66% had casted their votes for Daniel.
No. 3 likes the radio ad that goes something like this.
A : Hey, have you sold your house?
B : Yes!
A : Your car? Tv? Radio? Fridge? Computer?
B : All sold!
A : Errr… your mother-in-law?
No. 1, no. 2 and I were drenched in the rain today, no thanks to some council workers pruning some tree branches.
We were already nearing no. 3′s school when we got caught in a long queue at the traffic lights. The lights must have zonked out or maybe a car had stalled, I thought. It was neither. At the road shoulder, municipal workers were cutting down some tree branches which had got tangled up in the electric cables.
Finally Life’s Like That – Scenes from Malaysian Life is up for sale on 
Please click here to go there. If any of you have read my book and like it, could you please do me a favour? Go to Amazon.co.uk and write a nice little review for the book. I know you’re going to ask for commission. Unless the book sell by the thousands, I can assure you it’s not that lucrative. But if I see you, I’ll buy you coffee but please don’t ask for Starbucks. Local kopi, okay?
To see the contents page, just click on the Table of Contents and for more details on the book including the author’s comment, click on See All Reviews. Ignore the weird little symbols which are actually quote marks and apostrophes.
BTW if you don’t like the book, tell me why but don’t go and post it on Amazon, please. Oh dear, I hope I haven’t given you any ideas.

Okay. I’ve decided to stick with Blogger. Thanks to everyone who has given me their comments. WordPress seems to be a very powerful blogging tool, so full of oomph that I’m afraid it’ll take me too much time to fiddle around with. This isn’t good for me as I’m already spending too much time blogging when I should be BIC (butt-in-chair) spinning that yarn which I’ve started last year and still mucking around with, not sure where I’m headed.
I drove to Istana Budaya to see Stomp last night. It was the first time I was driving to that part of KL. Nightfall didn’t help either. I ended up making a few wrong turns but eventually arrived safe and sound.
Hubby didn’t want to come along for the show. “What for?” he asked. So no. 3 accompanied me. He had been looking forward to it since the day I won the tickets from Mixfm.

Plastic bags. Match boxes. Gas lighters. Hubcabs. Oil drums. Kitchen sinks. Boxes. Poles. Brooms. Garbage bins. Bare hands. I never knew these stuff can actually make music. Continue reading
that is the question.
While blog-surfing, I came across some nifty blogs hosted by WordPress/Blogsome. They’re also free. The coolest feature I like about WordPress is that they can organize entries according to categories.
