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. #

  1. Asalaamu Alaikum

    Your dad’s classmate is living in Malaysia and married to a malay and lives nearby? Do you ever get the feeling that Allah is playing a big joke on us, lol. Insha Allah you have visited and bonded and ate something together which isn’t rice for a change. Stew perhaps?

  2. Walaikumsalam. It’s wild isn’t it? I haven’t managed to meet her yet but I called her and we had a long chat. I said to her, “I’ve always been kind of proud that I’ve gone somewhere and done something no one else from home has done. And now you’ve gone and ruined that on me!” Haha
