		<description><![CDATA[This is what happens when you don't update Wordpress for years. I've just updated it to the latest version. If it looks crappy on your screen, it's probably because  it DOES look crappy right now  I'm working on it even as you read this! If all goes well, I'll get my new look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planet Pulse Demonstrates The Art Of Pissing People Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this survey invitation from Planet Pulse. 

A couple of years ago, I won a Cybershot Camera because I participated in a Honda contest. The camera was good. Honda was good. So I figured freebies from Honda just to participate in a survey was a good thing.

		<title>H1N1 - It&#039;s Up To Us</title>

http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/opinion/breaking-views/35095-whose-fault-is-it-that-leads-to-the-high-mortality-lim-sue-goan
H1N1 is going to kill the whole of Malaysia because we've got incompetent people in government. It's up to us to make sure our children and families don't get infected. Weeks ago, I began to get concerned and I thought I was bordering on paranoia. 
Not anymore.

Image via : Papa Razzi1


My family and I decided to carry out and experiment over August and September. We did this because every year without fail, our customer base dips beginning September. I don't know why - maybe it's the weather, maybe people just don't like eating in September, maybe there are lots of holidays [...]]]></description>

		<title>We are Warisan Malaysia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Every August, my kids will come home singing Merdeka songs that they learnt in school. Sara came home one day and asked if I could find the lyrics to the song "Warisan" written by Sudirman Hj. Arshad who in my opinion is the greatest Malaysian lyricist.

		<title>2 Ugly Durians And The Permatang Pauh By Election</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, well, well, looks like the folks in Permatang Pauh have set us on a journey into the unknown. By electing Anwar Ibrahim back into Parliament, we should at the very least expect the opposition (with any luck they will be the ruling party soon) to be a much stronger force to be reckoned with.
