I know you guys have read about the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide tragedy last Saturday... It's an extreme typical Malaysian authority's habit to cuci tangan, tai chi or in other words do whatever it takes to save your a** from being pointed finger to... And for me one of THE MOST stupidest (dunno if this words ever exist), idiotic and crazy excuse they can ever come out with is as what reported

"Aku bizi lah""Aku takde idea""Malas"............................................I have to admit that I dont have anything to write these few weeks. Upon finishing my read on the book I bought (it took a whopping 2 weeks to read it!) my brain turned bleak/blank/kosong/yillek. It may have been due to the rigorous input processes to the brain that made it "forget" how to do some outputs..

It was a hell of a drive home, with lots of (cars of course) things happened.We took off at about 2pm on Saturday, stopped by at in-law's house and waited for Azrul and his family for a convoy back home.

Mengantuk adalah sesuatu yang sangat biasa dirasai oleh semua orang. Orang tua2 cakap, lepas mati jer baru tak ngantuk. Ngantuk boleh ditafsirkan sebagai tindakbalas fizikal badan terhadap keletihan dan kekurangan tenaga.The word ‘fatigue’ is used in everyday living to describe a range of afflictions, varying from a general state of lethargy to a specific work induced burning sensation within

I've got a few questions from my colleagues on the weird name of this blog.Why Blistering Barnacles?Well, basically the word Blistering Barnacles comes from one comic strip which I was really addicted to when I was young, The Adventures of Tintin by Belgian artist, Hergé.I am so influenced to the character Captain Haddock (circled in red), who always use the words "Blistering Barnacles" when he
