The Most Embarrassing Moment Of My Life

So I'd like to share this funny tale that i just can't forget for the rest of my life. I never told anyone about it except my wife. It was a typical tiring night. I'd just got off from work during afternoon shift and it was about 11.30pm. So i was feeling hungry, stopped by at the row of restaurants near my house to order my favorite set of menu which was white rice, oxtail soup and fried squid, with my occasional iced tea. It was a typical malay roadside restaurant, one of my favorites. They serve good malay and thai food there. So i had my taste-buds indulged, my tummy filled and smoked a marlboro to wrap it up.

After paying the bill, i stood up and walked towards my car. I reached for the keys in my left pocket and pressed the button on the key to unlock the car. It went "beep-beep!". So i opened the door, sat inside and shut the door tight. As i was trying to insert the key into the ignition, that's when it hit me. There was a thin red light around the key socket which wasn't supposed to be there. The dashboard meter behind the steering wheel was totally different and modified, hell even the steering wheel itself was smaller than usual. The racing type. I was officially in someone else's car! And the owner of the car was staring at me from outside the window, in awe! Like a reflex, i immediately exited the vehicle and rushed towards mine which was about 10 feet away. I drove away as if nothing ever happened.

What really happened was this; as i pressed the remote button to unlock my car, so did the other guy, who was also having dinner there and was about to leave. So he and his friend were walking towards their car, coincidently pressed the remote button on his key the same time that i did. Me, with whatever nonsense that i had my mind occupied with, reached his car first before him and confidently entered the car and shut the door. They were like too shocked to say anything, let alone to even react. They just stood there outside the car watching, probably for a second they thought i was either a senseless thief or just a crazy gangster who doesn't give a damn. The thing is, i was driving a grey Proton Persona SE (and still am) and that dude's car was exactly the same model, same color. After realizing i had made a dumb mistake which probably only Homer Simpson would do, i got out of the car, did not say a word and just left. Even worse, the parking lot is situated directly along the row of restaurants, so almost everyone eating there saw the whole thing. Which is why i classify this as THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN MY LIFE...so far. My god, i really hope nothing like this would happen again. Or anything worse for that matter.















My Proton Persona. Isn't it the best looking car ever? :p

Malays Are Not In Danger. Fear Is The Real Danger.

Malays have long carried a fear, the idea that the Chinese will one day take over the country. Traumatized by the 13th May incident and with politicians further amplifying the notion during every election season, this belief became deeply rooted. It is repeated in family conversations, passed down through generations, and used as a convenient tool to divide Malaysians. But when we examine this narrative closely, it does not hold up. It is not reality. It is strategy. Let’s debunk it. Malaysia’s Parliament has 222 seats. To amend the Constitution or make any major changes, a government would need two thirds, which is 148 seats. In the 2018 general election, Pakatan Harapan, with DAP included, won 113. In 2022, they won 82. Both numbers were far short of 148. And no Chinese-majority party has ever, in the history of Malaysia, controlled Parliament on its own. The only way to form government has always been through coalitions that include Malay-led parties. Beyond numbers, the Constitutio...

Vlogging Cured My Social Anxiety

Although I no longer post weekly vlogs, I still pick up the camera every now and then. I want to share how vlogging helped me grow socially and rebuild my confidence. For most of my life, I’ve been introverted. Crowds and social situations made me anxious, and I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in. Over the years, those feelings grew heavier, to the point where my confidence took a real hit. Speaking in front of people — or even being in a busy room — could trigger panic, sweating, and an overwhelming urge to escape. Then in 2018, I stumbled into vlogging. At first, it was just an experiment — a way to push myself into discomfort. I set myself a 50-vlog challenge, and by the time I hit my 50th, I realized I loved it. I kept going for years, posting regularly until 2023, when I slowed down. What I didn’t expect was the transformation. Vlogging forced me to step outside my shell, to speak up, and to share my voice openly. Over time, my confidence came back stronger than ever. Speaking ...

I Went To Shanghai And It Was AWESOME!

  My office mates and I went to Shanghai last week. It was the annual budget meeting cum staff retreat, and this time, they decided to go to China! I was thrilled because I had never set foot in China before. It was Monday, 24 November 2025. We flew with Shanghai Air, and the flight took five hours. Once we landed at Pudong Airport, a huge tour bus took us on a one-hour ride to the city center and dropped us off at the Broadway Mansions Hotel. The hotel was a really old building, but the upkeep made it look modern while retaining some of its historic charm. The doormen and bellmen wore Al Capone-style uniforms with trench coats and hats, keeping the old-time vibe alive. We checked in on the fifth floor, which had an okay view, but once we settled in, Aliff and I immediately went out to explore. While the board members and MCs proceeded with the budget meeting, it was free and easy for most of the secretariat. Aliff and I set out with the sole goal of finding a new SIM card for him....
