Parents interfere in marriage?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 18 Feb 10

My wife decided to dump me after 3 years. Our marriage could've been saved (though chances were slim) but all chances were lost when her parents put a stop to all forms of communication with me 2-3 weeks ago. When I called my...

Is he your son-in-law or your son?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 27 Dec 09

When we're married, the "in-laws" come into the picture. There have been many stories about being with the in-laws. Parents-in-law dislike their daughters-in-law; sons-in-law dislike living anywhere near their parents-in-law and...

How to Stop Spammers?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 23 Nov 09

How do we stop spamming? I've had enough of hate messages in my shoutbox in one of my blogs. I tried to ban the IP address, but this spammer keeps coming back with even more vengeance. He uses the same nickname but it's not linked...

Nostradamus: Is he superhuman?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 8 Nov 09

Tell me a person who has never heard of Nostradamus. But who is he actually? How is it possible that an "ordinary human" is able to see what's going to happen hundreds of years or perhaps even thousands of years later? Are his...

Why an Increase in Horror Movies?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 25 Oct 09

There seem to be a lot more horror movies in Asian cinemas (and perhaps even in western ones) lately compared to the past 5 years. It makes me wonder if movie producers have actually run out of ideas and plots that the only way to...

Mooncake Festival; Is the Significance Lost Forever?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 4 Oct 09

Moon Cake Festival is also known as Mid-autumn Festival. Years ago when I was a kid, I used to carry lighted lanterns accompanied by my mom and my neighbours, and we walked around the block, joined by others along the way. It was...

They Keep Asking "When", so When are They Gonna Stop Asking?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 1 Oct 09

When you're single, they'll ask you when you're getting a girlfriend. When you already have one, they'll ask you when you're tying the knot. Once that's done, they'll ask you when you're going to have a baby. When you already have...

Controlling Spouses: Does that bother you?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 29 Sep 09

I heard over the radio this morning that some men do not mind being controlled by their wives because at work, they control others. Similarly, some women wouldn't mind being controlled because they're younger than their other...

Elevator Blues: Why Can't People Wait?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 24 Sep 09

I use the elevator all the time to get to my office. Not every one using the elevator is going the same direction as you. That's fine, but what annoys me most is when you're going down, for instance, there will be people entering...

Cooking Without MSG: Is it possible?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 22 Sep 09

I don't cook much, but when I do, I'd try to make my food taste good. Somehow, the taste just couldn't match the same dish prepared at restaurants. I believe the tastiness in restaurant food comes from monosodium glutamate...

How to say no so that food is not wasted?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 21 Sep 09

I have this little "problem". Sometimes when I go over to my mom's place, or when my parents-in-law come over, they'd give us or buy food (fruit, meat etc.) for us to take home but when we tell them that they don't have to buy or...

Patience - how long could you wait?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 17 Sep 09

How patient can a person get, I wonder. My wife and I decided to have breakfast at a stall near a market. When we arrived, my wife told me she wanted to buy fruit and flowers at the market which is a mere 5-minute walk and she...

Desperate friends - Are they friends?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 16 Sep 09

Friends are important - yeah, that's true. However, these people may just be taking advantage of you. I've had colleagues coming to me begging for help: "Please, damsel in distress!" or [i]"Thanks for your help, I love...

Men doing facials: What's your comment?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 15 Sep 09

We have seen how fashion changes; what women used to wear, men wear them now - for instance, earrings and bangles. Men also want to possess good skin textures like some women have. As such, they've now resorted to doing facials -...

090909 Phenomena - How special is it to you?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 9 Sep 09

Today's 9th September 2009, or in its numeric form, that's 09.09.09 - nice number, isn't it? To me, it is a normal day. However, the number 9 is also very significant in Malaysian politics because one of the states, [i]Negri...

Do you save water in public places?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 7 Sep 09

When I go to the washroom, sometimes I'd hear water flowing from the faucet or urinal, and I'd just turn it off. However, there are people who wouldn't do it. Someone once told me, "Why bother? They're paying for it." - I'd...

Moms can't cook. What's your opinion?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 3 Sep 09

In the olden days, if a woman doesn't know how to cook, it's not easy to get a husband. That's what happened in my country. Don't know if it happens in yours too. Over the past decade, I've noticed a new "trend" - some moms do not...

Do you visit the doctor EVERY time you're ill?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 3 Sep 09

Normally when I'm ill, I'd just stay home, take lots of fluid, eat porridge and rest. When I sleep, I'd keep myself warm. I'll recover in a few days without having to see a doctor. I don't want to take too much of medicine. There...

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 1 Sep 09

I hope this is not happening but I think I might have just lost a friend whom I got to know not too long ago. It must have been something which I've said, but honestly speaking, my discussion topics are general, not targeted at...
