Goodbye to a topsy-turvy year
IT'S time to bid 2025 goodbye. And it's not a fond adieu from me. It will be remembered as a year of loss and tragedy by many people, I'm sure.
High-rise, high anxiety
SHEER horror. That was what I felt watching the news on the devastating fire in Hong Kong on Nov 26 that engulfed seven blocks of high-rise apartments. It brought back memories of the 2017 Grenfell inferno in a 24-storey residential tower in London that killed 71 people.
Goodbye, dearest little one
WE have lost another member of our family. She was small, absolutely adorable, greedy and furry. Her name was Mambo, our Toy Poodle for 17 years.
Remembering a Malaysian hero
Sadly, his name won't ring a bell because he died fighting for another country's freedom.
Old is not gold to young people
That's especially true if they have to bear the burden of paying for their parents' maintenance.
The really beautiful game now
HURRAY to our girls! By winning the women's doubles title at the Arctic Open in Finland on Sunday, Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah redeemed much needed pride for Malaysia, showing that our homegrown talents can win spectacularly in international tournaments.
The long road to recovery
IT has been exactly four months since I had my knee surgery. Readers may recall that I had written about my experience in deciding to undergo a meniscus root repair operation in this column.
So smart it could kill you
I JUST scared myself. I re-watched The Terminator, that 1984 science fiction movie by James Cameron, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the cybernetic assassin who was sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, played by Linda Hamilton.
Are we shaken enough to act?
WE were spared. Sadly, not so for Afghanistan. The several mini earthquakes that occurred last week in Johor were nothing compared to what happened in Afghanistan on Sunday.
Recalling mother for the last time
I HAD not planned to give a eulogy at my mother's wake. I was dealing with my grief and the stress of making all the funeral arrangements. And I felt I had already said enough about her in this column over the years, culminating in my previous article titled, "Freed finally from dementia's cruel grip".
Freed finally from dementia’s cruel grip
After years of suffering, my mother's passing came peacefully.
Who’s afraid of ‘alpha male’ Adams?
The US ambassador to Malaysia nominee said he wants to learn, so we can certainly teach him a thing or two.
