On the way back from the Sungai Merab area, where the PLUS highway intersects with the ELITE highway right by the exit to Universiti Putra Malaysia, the traffic slowed down considerably. This was strange because I’ve never experienced a traffic jam of this magnitude before at this particular location. Which […]

A New Baby For Hanim and Awie
Young Aisyah has a new brother! Abdul Qayyum bin Mohd Zawawi was born to Hanim and Awie at 0715 hours on the 22nd of April. We went a-visiting the newborn and his family and took a photo. Irfan tried to wink at the camera and he’s almost got the wink […]
Continue readingIrfan Takes Atok’s Pictures
As told previously, Irfan likes to use the camera (that is wondrously chimaeraed into the phone by wizards) to take pictures of everything. Some weeks ago, we went to Sitiawan and lo and behold, there was a kenduri at the Seri Manjong stadium that was organized by the new state […]

So what IS a Role-playing Game Anyway?
I have a Role-playing Games category right over there at the left sidebar on the front page of the site. I’m sure there’s a lot of visitors to this site that will probably shrug and say, “I dunno”, or half-heartedly answer, “Something like Dungeons and Dragons?” Well, Dungeons and Dragons […]
Continue readingThe Gallery Is Upgraded
After a long time of uploading images and hard coding the html (and later php) files into the Hishgraphics Gallery, I’ve now deleted the old setup and replaced it with a proper Coppermine Gallery CMS. It took some time to get the hang of the system, but I think I […]
Continue readingTwenty Eight Weeks
Monday marked the 28th week of the pregnancy. We are now 70% of the way! Another 12 weeks or so to go!! Time seems to just be flying by. The shirt isn’t snug over the belly, but believe me, there’s a pretty big one under there! [[image:28weeksa.jpg:Sila at 28 Weeks:center:0]] […]

Pictures of Lily
Pictures of Lily By The Who: I used to wake up in the morning I used to feel so bad I got so sick of having sleepless nights I went and told my dad He said, ‘Son now here’s some little something’ And stuck them on my wall And now […]

YAYYYYYY! I think the snow is over (knock wood)! The daffodils finally bloomed, and our party-crashing lilacs (or hyacinths?) have crashed the party again! Check them out: [[image:spring02.jpg:Cheery daffodils:center:0]] [[image:spring03.jpg:Happy sunny yellow goodness:center:0]] [[image:spring01.jpg:Purple Party People:center:0]] Seriously, the daffodils blooming always makes me smile! 🙂
Continue readingSteampunk Star Wars
Via Boing Boing, I came across Sillof’s Workshop that displays awesome custom made figures… of classic Star Wars characters in steampunk forms. Unbelievably awesome and of fantastic quality. I wish they were selling this en masse in the stores. Also, I can see an awesome alternate-universe Star Wars RPG campaign […]

[[image:toothless_irfan.jpg:Dental entropy?:left:0]]Look who’s lost his first baby tooth… today… on April 11… 2008 Common Era. When the tooth was loose he was concerned with bleeding, but after the tooth fell out in school he didn’t seem too concerned. He was proud of it, even. No blood and pain, he made […]

Continue readingLegion of Three Worlds
I’ve always been a Legion fanboy, having first read the Legion of Super-Heroes back in the late 70s-early 80s. Having started relatively late, all that came before was compressed and presented to me by the Secrets of the Legion of Super-Heroes mini-series. After writing last year’s Green Lantern Corps epic […]
