At first I mistook them for multimedia or communication students doing their project assignment when I saw the camera-girl in action. It was later that I saw her partner, holding a microphone with the familiar 8TV logo and interviewing a restaurant worker, that I realized they were 8TV journalists. The filming is probably for a […]
Rain or shine, John the Cobbler operates his shoe beautification and repair business along the 5-foot pathway beside a fast food chain outlet in SS2 Petaling Jaya. Contrary to the wordings on the billboard behind him, John doesn’t operate round-the-clock. Being a one-man show and a human being, it’s of course physically impossible for him […]

A couple of nights back, a call came through on my mobile at about 9.30pm. It was from Steve Peter Kok, whom I got acquainted about 2 years ago during the course of my work. He was back in town with his recently wedded life partner, Jenny.

Goodness gracious! Here we’ve a person who’s willing to contribute to Penang’s development, and he gets flak from both his own political party […]

I felt cheated - spelled capital CHEATED - when I read Citizen Nades’ piece ‘Non-users Pay the Price’ in The Sun last Monday. It’s akin to robbing Peter to pay (compensate) Paul.
Despite what has been reported, there is a taxpayer subsidy to the current express rail link operated by the YTL group between Kuala […]

We talked as if we were long-time friends. Guess she needed someone to listen to her to her woes and tribulations. I requested to photograph her and she obliged. It’s a pity that I forgot to ask for her name…oh, well, I’ll do that the next time we meet. Let’s continue from where I left […]

I have been buying scented flowers from this lady for umpteen years, so much so that she knows me by sight. Rain or shine, you can find her setting up her flower stall at the SS2 wet market. The only time when she failed to show up was when her husband passed away last year.

Some drivers can be so inconsiderate…
Blocking half the road
Middle of the road
Not so lucky for the drivers of these cars
