Friday Frolics - Deep Down, Who Are You?

Yeah, deep down who are you? Find out today.

Happy Friday, everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in Kuala Lumpur. Hope yours is just as wonderful!



You Are an Artist

You are a creator of sorts, but you are also a reframer and remixer. You see art everywhere.

You are a great appreciator of traditional beauty, but you also appreciate art that's a bit more obscure.



You love things that are different, even if they are an acquired taste. You don't think of art as purely hedonic.

You like to see the world from a new perspective, and art gives you that - even if that perspective is your own.

Petrol RON97 now down by 20 sen - 19 November 2014

Good news for those who use RON97 petrol because it now is less by 20 sen a litre starting midnight last night. It is now at RM2.55 a litre.

The last price change of the premium petrol was in September, where it had increased by 15 sen.

The retail price of RON97 petrol is determined by a 'managed float' in which the price changes according to the market. And this price decrease of 20 sen is in line with the current crude oil price in the market which is at around USD80 a barrel, I believe.

RON95 petrol is currently at RM2.30 per litre while diesel costs RM2.20 per litre. These prices came into effect on 2 October, last month.

Friday Frolics - Which Friend Are You?

Remember Friends?


Friends is an American television sitcom. It's about a circle of friends living in Manhattan. The series lasted ten seasons and catapulted the actors to stardom if not superstardom. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, it originally aired on NBC from September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004. It lasted ten seasons and is now in syndication.

You've never watched Friends? Aww! Alright, for those who are familiar with Friends, do you think there's a character you identify with most? Maybe it's Rachel Green? Or Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing or Ross Geller?

Never mind, here's an easy way to find out as to which character you are most like. Check out the Quiz below.

Hmm, it's raining outside as I'm writing this and from where I am, it looks like KL is getting some rainfall this Friday evening and I'm thinking traffic jam and probably some flash floods? Whatever.. YOU have a great rest of the day and a wonderful weekend ahead!



You Are Chandler

You are quirky, smart, and hilarious to those around you. You have an edge that other people enjoy.

People who don't know you may find you difficult to read. You take a bit of time to get to know.



You pay close attention to the world around you. You are very observant and in the moment.

You often have great ideas that others never consider. You are quite creative and inventive.

Friday Frolics - Are You A Vampire, Witch, or Zombie?

Today being Halloween, I thought a personality quiz along that line would be befitting so find out whether you are a Vampire (like me), a Witch or a Zombie. An interesting questionnaire too. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!



You Are a Vampire

Like a vampire, you can be a bit cold and heartless at times. You are very calculating.

You think with your head, and you know better than to follow your heart.



While you are as thick skinned and resourceful as a vampire, you aren't necessarily as evil.

You can easily manipulate people into doing what you want. Whether you actually choose to manipulate them or not is a different matter.



The Jack-o-Lantern Quiz


Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween!


Halloween is not officially celebrated here in Malaysia. In fact, I think it's rather discouraged, more so of late, because it runs counter to the popular belief system here, suffice to say that.

However, drinking holes and such are still places where people can go to for some Halloween feel if you are far away from home enough to miss it. Also, Halloween paraphernalia is also available in shops. Toys R Us is a great place to shop for Halloween stuff here in Malaysia. In fact, if you are looking for toys, theirs is THE place to go to.

Happy Halloween!

Friday Frolics - The Sky Inspiration Test

Oh, it's a gorgeous day outside today here in Kuala Lumpur! Though we still see a hazy KL skyline but clearly the sky is blue and the clouds cottony. Such a reprieve from all that drab rainy weather of weeks past.

Incidentally, today is the first day of the second 9th month in the Lunar Calendar. Baffling? Yeah, this year, we get two (double) 9th lunar months and today is the start of the second one. The reason for this 'oddity' or the 'leap year' I think it's called, is to re-synchronize the solar year with the lunar year - complicating stuff, this one. Suffice to know that there are two 9th months in 2014.

I thought a personality quiz about the sky is rather apt for this beautiful day. So, enjoy and have a lovely, lovely day ahead wherever you are.

By the way, have you entered for the Book Giveaway? Contest ends Sunday midnight. Come join, the more the merrier!



Beauty Inspires You

You are the positive and optimistic type. You can see how almost anything is a blessing.

You are a profoundly creative and downright delightful person. You inspire the world.



You are imaginative and even artistic. You have an eye for design and beauty.

You think there is too much ugliness and drabness in this world. You're trying to make everything a little more gorgeous.
