Guest blogging on MTV Iggy

by

MTV Iggy screenshotI’ll be guest blogging at MTV Iggy, MTV’s new branch for global (mostly Asian) pop culture and infotainment for the next few weeks.

This blog will be updated as usual; some of the stories here will be cross-posted at Iggy, and I’ll write a few extra stuff for the folks there during my stint.

Hope that the short project will benefit both parties and Asian pop culture fans; check out my updates at Iggy.

The end of my Malaysian social political blogging

by

I’m closing my Malaysian social political blog. I’ve not been updating about social political issues for quite a while, and to be frank, I’m not interested to write about this topic any more… might as well make it official to close the section.

I started blogging about Malaysian social political issues in late 2005. The blogging environment and political development in the country were obviously different back then; cutting the story short, I’m getting a bit tired after all these years.

Social politic is a subjective matter… I must have written a few stuff that unfortunately have offended some folks. I’m not going to say sorry in most cases, especially when it’s about personal opinions; but I apologise if my occasionally poor choice of words have hurt some feelings.

Most of the SP articles are going to be deleted, as some are no longer relevant, while others a bit too sensitive… I don’t want to have the slightest concern that authorities will knock on my door someday for what I’ve blogged years ago.

The remainder of the SP articles will be merged with my main personal and lifestyle blog, hidden within the maze of stories with lighter focuses. You can still find some new, non-political Malaysian related articles by following my Malaysia tag.

Thanks to everyone who have been following my original Malaysian social political blog, friends or foes. And thanks for generously sharing your thoughts; we might have argued about something at times, but it’s mostly enlightening.

I guess that’s it. Best wishes to the future of our dear nation. Malaysia boleh!

Golden Klog Awards 2008

by

Golden kimchiFolks at Koreasparkle is running a Korean blog awards in which our pop channel is nominated as Best Blog about Korean Pop Culture.

To be frank, I’m not keen in websites’ awards… so I’m not going to bore you with the poll, especially if you are not familiar with the nominees.

The nominee list provides some good links though, with bunches of Korean related blogs in various topics… might find a few interesting ones if you are keen in Korean stuff.

Thanks for the nomination, although I still find it a bit odd considering the fact that this blog is not dedicated entirely to Korean matters.

Happy Lunar New Year 2009

by

Merry Christmas and Happy 2009

by

A bit early I supposed… but this is likely to my last post in 2008.

Yupe, going to take a really long break. Want to settle some unfinished business, i.e. house cleaning, bills clearing etc… would also like to spend some time to reflect on what I did in 2008 and planning on what to do in 2009. It should be a wise idea to stay away from blogging for a while to focus on the needy stuff.

Thanks to all of you who have been following this blog throughout the year; the time spent on maintaining the blog wouldn’t be as enjoyable without your support. Enjoy the rest of 2008, see you all again in 2009!!!
