Let me speak
More on the meme of the week. For some reason I was thinking of the “Por que no te callas?” incident (the king of Spain told the president of Venezuela to shut up, for those who don’t know and are … Continue reading
Mini pencil
Let me tell you why this adorable mini pencil makes me angry. It’s because I can’t have one. My spouse is an American citizen. Let’s call him Mr. Potato because he’s from the Midwest and he’s kind of that shape … Continue reading
Forum Suara Mahasiswa UUM
Finally getting around to watching today’s viral video. My reactions: (also check out Ameno World’s take on it here) Right off the bat, this woman is a horrible emcee. WTH is this ikrar thingy? Honestly, Bhavani’s not a great speaker. … Continue reading

Design of Experiments is a concept that I really think science majors, especially those who are going into life sciences where one has to deal with a great number of messy variables, ought to be taught at an early age, … Continue reading
Trying to sound auntie
I’ve been seeing Anne-Marie Slaughter’s essay floating around Facebook for the last few days – the famous name, in combination with the title clearly indicating a sensitive topic, told me it was certainly something worth reading but I didn’t have … Continue reading
The game of keep-away
Heaven knows I’m not a language prescriptivist. I’m one of those people who like using “they” in the singular on purpose because English lacks a gender-neutral 3rd person pronoun for adults. But I really can’t get my way around some … Continue reading
