About Me
Sometimes it is hard to say things about yourself, trust me, it is tough. You do not want to be seen as self-praising but not to the extent of self degrading.
I started blogging in late 2004 and what a journey it has been!
Blogger’s background
I am a qualified corporate lawyer with extensive working experience with banks and solicitor firms. But after couple of years of being bogged down with routines and to some extend, tired of processing civil suits against companies and individuals (I hate to be in their shoes), I decided that I needed change – a big change that is and God must have heard me.
At the blink of the eye (rather after one phone call), I became an IT consultant with no relevance to my paper qualifications (other than perhaps my “arguing” and “writing” skills). Ya, weird things can happen to you.
These days, I take care of technical documentation (need to use my blogging skills somewhere right?), project management and system support both in Malaysia and overseas.
On a personal note, I am married for the past 4 years and have a lovely wife and cute my son (ya, he is going to make noise on me using the word “cute” here).
Having a family was one of the best things that happened to me (it has its own challenges though) and this is probably why I feel that spending time blogging about the government, responsibility and other things that we Malaysia care about is a good way to start pushing for a brighter future for all of us.
Blog’s journey
I started blogging in Blogspot before moving to WordPress (that is before Blogspot decided to revamp its blog tools and improved a lot) and after 687 posts (at time of this update and counting), I am more motivated to continue blogging. I am still learning though – in blogging, language and general knowledge.
Lately it has slanted towards Malaysia and the political situation – something that I would deemed as necessary especially after having children of my own. What kind of future awaits him and his generation? Do we be ignorance and walk the other way?
These were the thoughts that were running in my mind before the last general election and I am glad that we bloggers contributed in small way to make the necessary changes but we are not done yet. Making this country a paradise to live in is still in the works.
But I also blog on other issues – current event, family, childhood memories (trying to make it a weekly series), motoring and more (just click on the sidebar to see all categories). And by doing so, it makes this blog with mixed topics unlike those specialized ones. Depending on the readers, it can be a bad or good thing.
Please leave your comments in this blog – either on the posts or suggestions on making this blog better. Comments from readers give more inspiration to write better and interact with the readers closer.
Happy blogging!





Im kinda believe its good to mix blog with everythig come up inside our head.we dont need to be so specific because its good to do everything that is good. as long as we can cope with it.
i dont know why, bloging actually difficult to me because i dont like to tell about myself to public actually.because we human tend to make mistake and simply difficlut to retreat what we are talking sometime..so in multi racial country,it good to hear about “there is no such racial” from you. (although sometime we have).
this kinda good, to improve the goodness of nation, politics actually always cheating, nomatter government or the opposition party right?
Radient – I think what we do to make things better for everyone counts, and it is up to us on what we want to go about it. Politics screwing things up for everyone, all the time but it is important on how we engage such politics – with a rationale mind or with an emotional feeling
4 years of blogging…
how does it feel?
it feels great to be talking to someone with 10 times more experience at my pasttime, than me.
Hi,
Am doing some research to write something about KijangMas/DemiNegara. I’m struck by your line here of “weird things can happen to you”. Yeah, tell me about it!:-)
Anyway, I like the general tone of your blog here – especially the SANITY of it (especially yours). I’m impressed that you don’t simply stereotype KijangMas as “right-wing extremist” but was fair with your evaluation of that particular post.
Best of luck. I’ll come and visit again.
Cendana287 – thanks for dropping by. Ya, weird things happens without notice
Were you in La Salle Brickfields? I studied there till 69 and left for India in 1970 (after the racial riots, when non-citizens were asked to take up Malaysian citizenship of leave. My father opted to return to India.) But I guess wherever we are, we cannot get away from who we are. Though we tend to think we are what we have acquired, be it citizenship, educational qualifications, financial assets, our network of relationships etc., in the end we have to confront ourselves. We are, I would say, how our minds have become. Ah… I am getting abstrusely philosophical.
Venu – I was in La Salle Brickfields long after you left. Have you joined in the La Salle Brickfield’s page in Facebook? We have over 300 plus ex-La Salle Brickfields members there. Some of them may be in your batch.

Joe,
I studied at La salle Brickfields from Standard 1(Yellow) in 1969 right up to Form 3, before they ‘promoted’ me to the Kg kerinci Sri Pantai school to do my Form 4 & 5.
I do not know if you were my senior or otherwise.
As my dad worked with KTM, I stayed at the then Railway Quarters in Bangsar (Bangsar Utama now) & I walked to school everyday.
All these bring back fond memories.
I am reachable at cityproperty@gmail.com.
I live in Subang Jaya today.
My brother who is 7 years mys enior also spent 9 years at La salle Brickfields.
