Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-25

  • Having a great day so far after sleeping off a wicked migraine. But sad to hear of the passing of my friend Dalilah. She was a great lady. #
  • Even though it was cancer that took Dalilah, I’ll always remember her as a cancer survivor. That’s what she was, right to the end. #
  • I’m wearing my Brazil football t-shirt as I type this, & rolling my eyes at the ignorance of Malaysian ‘muftis’. http://is.gd/dxFZ2 #
  • RIP Benjamin McKay. Only met him once, at No Black Tie. He told a story about a Filipino underwear model. Funny stuff. #
  • Last night the guy who enumerated me for the census was back at our bldg. 20 more units to go, he said. At least they’re being thorough. #
  • I slag Msia for attempting a census, but Canada’s planning to scrap the mandatory long-form census. At least Msia’s moving forward. #
  • I find censuses interesting because as an amateur genealogist that’s where I’ve found a lot of info about my ancestors. #
  • Just cooked up a big scoff of potatoes, broccoli, spinach, green pepper & sauce made from green bean flour. A very green lunch. #
  • Oh, and tuna. I’m happy to report the tuna wasn’t green. #
  • Mmm used the potato skins to make salt & vinegar chips. Yummilicious. #
  • The criticism of Sandra Bullock for adopting a black child reeks of ’stick to your own kind’ bullshit. Objections noted but it’s bullshit. #
  • It amazes me America still buys into the concept of race to the point that a white woman adopting a black child is a huge thing. #
  • I couldn’t agree more. Also, notice the boneheaded reader comment: http://bit.ly/9Zd1Kd #
  • Dental supplier knows a lady fr Cape Breton living in Kajang. We called her; she went to school with my dad! Wow, small world! #
  • Hey ladies, if you want to bare your tummy in The Star, your chances increase if you don’t have a bellybutton, haha. Check pg. M12 today. #
  • Since I’m shitting on The Star today I’ll throw in a dig at the fact that the Parenting pull-out contains nothing but advertorials. Boo. #
  • Babysitter’s kid is sick so I’ve got Aaron today. Not even going to bother trying to get work done. Just going to play all day, heehee. #
  • Hats off to the head of StatsCan for resigning over the Harper govt’s census blunder: http://bit.ly/9EOtBG #
  • Awesome article by Nick Kristoff. Basically, those who think either men OR women are better are wrong: http://nyti.ms/aRNrgm #
  • Playfighting with Al. Me: Hah! I got you now! Al: No! I can do anything! Me: Prove it! Al: That’s not a good idea. #
  • Man opening a clinic is expensive. If anyone’s looking for a writer/editor/teacher/whatever, let me know. Need a 2nd job. #
  • Also, if anyone feels like investing in a dental clinic, feel free to toss abt RM3k in our direction. #
  • At one point Leen suggested I become the clinic’s receptionist, but I think I’d scare customers away, haha. #
  • Babysitter can’t take Aaron tomorrow either. Something abt high blood pressure this time. Another day of fun. Oh joy. Oh bliss. #
  • Yessir, another whole day of focusing 100% of my time & attention on my cute, adorable, teething, cranky, clingy baby. Yessir can’t wait. #
  • RT @TheNutGraph M’sia: The “failed brain transplant”. Foreign spouses and M’sia’s brain drain. @debbieloh writes. http://bit.ly/bto5Nu #
  • You know you’re a parent of a small child when you hear yourself saying “It’s okay, you can come out now. The butterfly’s gone.” #
  • Yesterday I was home with the baby & almost went bonkers. Today: home with the baby AND his big brother. Oddly, I may go less bonkers today. #
  • Could have sworn that was a tiny earthquake. I live on the 18th flr so yeah, maybe it was. #
  • Was going to say something to refute this article but hey look it’s by Newt Gingrich, so it refutes itself! Ta-daa! http://wapo.st/9G7hr3 #
  • It’s so mindblowing that a childhood acquaintance of my dad not only married a Malay & moved to Msia but also lives 5 mins from my place. #
  • Marina’s tribute to Dalilah: http://bit.ly/bo6G08 #
  • I guess the best way for me to pay tribute to Dalilah is to just keep on rolling. Nonsense to you but that would have made her laugh. #
  • EARTHQUAKE. Wooo… #
  • Anyone else feel that earthquake? I thought I felt a small one yesterday but this time Leen & I were both like WHOAAAAA EARTHQUAKE #
  • Most recent quake on USGS site was in Mindanao, Philippines. Maybe this one was in Indonesia & hasn’t shown up on the site yet. #
  • Yup, I was right. Magnitude 5.7 in Northern Sumatra: http://bit.ly/bPX0yl #
  • Magnitude will likely be adjusted as they get more info. Hopefully no major destruction. And no tsunami! #
  • So many things I want to write. Unfortunately I want to write them all at the same time. Such is the ADD mind. Every channel on at once. #
  • Just got home after a yummy BBQ at Farah & Jeremy’s place. Good food, good company. #
