Cosmic Curve

060619-rainbow-fire_big Originally uploaded by ruthvickd . At The curve , some nice people from Sahaja Yoga were operating a booth where they offered to do a five minute meditation exercise for free. The purpose seems to be to free up our chakras and enable ourselves to be the conduit of cosmic energy and thus maintaining health and achieving peace. Some people were having laying of hands, aura cleansing kind of gestures. They were being 'tuned' to feel the energy emanating from themselves. We thought, "What the heck. We'll give it a try". They were really having a hard time explaining the concept to us, but we said we'll just go for the practical anyways. It started like this: Practitioner : Put your right hand over your chest. ( We follow ) Practitioner : Look at Mother Mataji's photo. We affectionately refer to her as Mother. She's the founder. Me : What? Practitioner : Beseech Mother to grant you inner peace. My mother and I : What? ( We

Bus No. 11

Traffic police Originally uploaded by Wam Mosely . Work is getting shitty lately. A transitional period for me. Trading in my previous tasks for something. Something that I've been doing for three years. Time to move on, I guess. Something cooler. However, the learning curve is quite steep and the timeline is short. Discussions going on every day. Trying to come up to speed. And the new site is at Taman Tun. Horrible place to be if one decides to use public transport. People have already asked why I've not gotten a car. Better mobility, zero savings. A liability in exchange for security? Entahlah . I'll work out something soon. I hope.

IMG_1812 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . I recently received my new gadget from the office, a spanking, new Laptop !!! An Acer Aspire 5540. Here are the specs for you to drool over: - Intel Core Duo Processor T2050 (1.6GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache) - 14.1" WXGA CrystalBrite LCD ( boleh bercermin with it) - 2GB DDR2 RAM (!) Luckily it's not too heavy at 2.5kg. I developed a sore shoulder lugging around a previous model. It's supposed to be for work, but I have other plans for it. :P.

Traditional Viagra

Traditional Viagra Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Can't get it up lately? Waning sex drive? Non-existant libido? Distrustful of established pharmaceutical companies? Couldn't care less about double blind tests and FDA approval? Would prefer something more holistic? Well, don't I have the answer for you... UBAT LELAKI KUAT . Just call the number, if you're desparate enough.

Jam Fest

mysojamfest Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Lotsa activities at Cineleisure Damansara . Apparently something called the MYSO Jam Fest . A Red Hot Chilli Pepper Wannabe Band Search; Extreme sports; Indoor bball; Rodeo rides ( don't expect the Edie Britt scene from Desperate Housewives, but one plump girl really beat all the others in terms of staying power ); sumo wrestling ( remember when X fought Tim Curry at the pre-Stick Man Fight Party? ); Jousting ( think American Gladiators ) and slipper throwing.

Pensonic Friends

william_quah Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Met William Quah at The Curve as he was doing a promotional junket for Pensonic, AmBank, etc. I've never met him before in person, but I remember him from his early days on TV doing HotTraxx ( or some other music chart show to that effect ). He was really stiff back then. Like a Ken Doll. Later it was on MTV. I remembered he had robotic hand gestures. Like planks had been tied to them. But he's SO MUCH BETTER now. Relaxed. Natural. I expected him to be taller, but he's still taller than me. My friend Mel has seen him hanging around Bangsar and Amcorp Mall, and according to her, dia memang layan adiknya dengan baik . It went something like this: ( The floor was practically devoid of spectators and I was grinning broadly to the side ) William Quah : Blah, Blah, Blah... Would you like to win some prizes from Pensonic? Me : Sure. William Quah : What's your name? Me : William. William Quah : That's a *GOOD* name. Me :
