Do you need a lesson on love? Do you need help on up-ping your game? Do you think yu have game but could do with some refinement? Do you want to know how to interpret the signals?...Then stop wasting the petals on the poor flower wondering whether he loves you or loves you not and buy yourself a ticket to Singapore where you could get some lessons on good ol' love....If you think Im kidding,

Of all the possible posts I imagined I would start 2008 with, one that involved reflections on the sad situation in my motherland was certainly never in the plan. There is much to be said about how atrocius and utterly ridiculous it is that a country that once was a beacon of hope and role model for the continent is now a subject of prayer and aid. That people who have co-existed for years can

Incredible! I cannot believe I forgot to post on this one.Last week, in a discussion on post colonialism, this very interesting article from some goings on in Venezuela came to light. While Chavez has been in the limelight lately for a number of things, I have to give him some props for some of the moves. Certainly I feel the pain of the education fraternity who now have to review texts BUT I

...I had to change area codes; move to new lands; abscond places I had know for 4 years without so much as a decent goodbye.Well to be fair, I left KL in my head a couple of months ago or something like that but the actual movement in my head started in July when I got accepted to Sussex for my MA. The real physical movement was to be determined by one visa issuing officer. As a Kenyan, one of

Thats what they say about pictures. They leave an impression more than words could ever describe.Sometimes you come across an image that leaves an impression so big and yet one cant resist the urge to add words to it. This is my picture of the year scanned off a postcard cover collection from almost a year back.It makes me think of past, present and future; of Confucius and his band of men; of

Its been too long indeed and this come back is going to be majorly random so buckle up..Yesterday I was browsing through a Kenyan local daily and came across an article that made me want to break something.Apparently now, x numbers after I am out of the system, they are working on an alternative syllabus that allows students to pick subjects that they are interested in instead of the mandatory

In honor of my tireless labour ;) I accepted an invitation from the brown one and got onto the silkroad nomadfest band wagon. It was my 2nd trip to mainland China and I couldn’t help being apprehensive given that my 1st trip to China had left a thing or two to be desired. Curiosity had the better of me and so off I was to the wild truly wild west. Approx 6 hours to Beijing followed by another

..until I was involved in a conversation the other day. In my day, when we had one station (KBC) that started its transmissions at 5.00pm and if you switched on the tv any earlier, you got this annoying tiiiiiiiii sound and then as it got closer that turned into some random music e.t.c. e.t.c.

New words/expressions/vocab e.t.c have always fascinated me and I find myself more drawn to the thesaurus. A discussion about a rendezvous with a friend led me to the oh-so wonderful world of collective nouns. That was one of the terrifying lessons in grammar class back in the day but me thinks I have a solution for that. For starters;What do you call a group of proctologists?A buttload of

I had a hearty discussion with a friend yesterday which ended up at the question, what kind of chics do you go for? To which he quickly responded...someone with a PERSONALITY. Sounds quite basic eih? So I asked, personality like how?
