Evid­ence sug­gests the incent­ive for los­ing my hair was too low and the pro­cess not humi­li­at­ing enough for my own cam­paign to raise money for SPCA-KK. After some hag­gling, I have man­aged to con­vince a poten­tial donor to part with RM 1200 to see me bald and deprived of facial hair, but also to work …

Being Human

After a long gest­a­tion period, I finally splurged on what is now my most expens­ive book to date, The Annot­ated Sand­man Volume 1, along with another acclaimed mas­ter­piece by Neil Gai­man, Nev­er­where. It is unfor­tu­nate that I did not own a card mem­ber­ship for Bor­ders, which would have provided some dis­counts. Which leads into the …

Hello Inter­net, cer­tain people I know from the Inter­net, and friends. I will cut a deal with you.

Make the Compassionate Choice

This year starts where I left off last year — at the newly built SPCA-KK shel­ter in Sabah. Work­ing with anim­als has been frus­trat­ing and reward­ing, but mostly frus­trat­ing. It is now clear to me, more than pre­vi­ous arm­chair reas­on­ing can provide, that people just don’t give a shit about animal cruelty until they are …

Help Make More LOLCATS this Christmas

As few of you are aware, I am cur­rently work­ing as a full time volun­teer for the Soci­ety for the Pre­ven­tion of Cruelty to Anim­als Kota Kin­abalu (SPCA-KK). Unlike other animal wel­fare groups I could have volun­teered with (includ­ing the one in my home state of Pen­ang), SPCA-KK is rel­at­ively new — so new in …
