Laser attacks on planes are on the rise in Australia. Last Saturday, several pilots notified Sydney’s air traffic controllers that beams of green laser were directed at them.
Pilots could be temporarily blinded in such attacks.
The lasers were beamed from the ground. So it surprises me that they could reach such altitudes, and that the pranksters […]
I think of world class athletes as gifted people who undergo regimented and vigorous training by equally gifted coaches.
So it amazes me that ‘little things’ like sports attire make split second differences which translate mole hills into mountains.

Through Moses, He instructed each man to bring home a lamb. The lambs were to be slaughtered four days later on the night when […]
The easing of prices of a broad range of commodities this week is a welcome relief from the recent global inflation trend.
The prices of basic necessities like rice and wheat had increased relentlessly, and ordinary people start to feel the pinch. They feel helpless with limited visibility of the supply situations.
Left unchecked, inflation can […]
The new Olympic facilities in Beijing are more or less ready, except for feedback that they seriously lack toilets of the sitting type.
Westerners find it impossible to multiplex squating and er, doing business.
Asians are more adaptible to either type. Most of them, anyway. But there are those who are unsure how to use the sit-down […]
Gold 90 FM DJs Yasmin and Tim O were recollecting some of the white lies their parents had told.
A caller into the radio station said her parents had prohibited children from eating fish roe, saying that the eggs would make them ‘bodoh’, or stupid in Malay. In retrospect, she suspects that her parents had in […]
