Sometimes you fall in love with someone that doesn't love you back. In time for Gongxi Valentine's Day this month, here's our -- and your -- love/hate letter to the city. Oh KL, why you gotta be like that?

Last fortnight, the KLue team were curious to know what the social media means to you readers. Are you a habitual Twitter-er? Or are you one of those annoying buggers who spams people's Facebook homepages with updates no one really cares about?
We've got proposition for you, dear reader. Our work is never done/no rest for the wicked, so Mothership KLue is currently looking for interns to help us out, from 1 March 2010 onwards. Come on, you know you want to. Read more
Dear city: Urbanscapes 2009 was a blast of epic proportions: close to 10,000 visitors, almost 4,000 Facebook fans, 30 Tweets a day, etc etc. You do not need us to tell you how big -- you were probably part of it.
Hang on. Why are we talking about this? Well, the Urbanscapes 2010 website is now LIVE. Read more
Fourteen days ago, we began querying KLue's little precinct of the Internet hive-mind about its life-changing resolutions, circa-New Year's 2010. Are you alone in your quest to lose weight and exercise more? Find out after the cut! Read more
With a few more hours to go, and what's left of KLue raring to head home/airport/closest dive bar, here's a quick one from us: Happy New Year!!!
May your 2010 be not too depressing/fraught with death and upheaval, may your resolutions fail not too spectacularly, and may you not meet any ex-lovers at the New Year's Eve party tonight. Read more
Dear readers, by the time you read this, you're probably on the prowl for a post-Christmas Eve pick-me-up. Despite yourself -- and the fact that you can't really remember anything from last night -- you can't help but get caught up in the sentimentality of the season. Read more
At the beginning of this month, we asked you, dear readers, what you had planned for Advent; with Christmas being the season of did-you-get-a-gift-for-me-dom, we thought it best to be prepared. (We've been trying to get into the spirit of the thing. With our list of charitable organisations to donate to, we hope you will, too.)
So what are you up to, this snowless Yuletide?
Some days ago, we got to thinking about the government's proposal to impose a goods and services tax (GST) upon the Malaysian citizenry. It will replace the existign goods and services tax, and be implemented in 2011/2012 -- but a new tax is alway cause for worry.
So we posed the question to you, dear and loyal readers: is the GST a good idea? Here's how you answered: Read more
Bumming around? Need some motivation for your arty brain? If you heart design (and have the skillz), we might want you to join the Freeform family. Read more
Ever since we heard about Mr Jho Low's spendthrift party antics -- USD160,000 bar tab, penthouse apartments in New York -- we've been wondering who he is. More specifically, because we're status-conscious at heart, we've been wondering whether he's the right guy for keeping up Malaysian "face" abroad.
So we posed the question to you, dear readers: Is Jho representing Malaysia well? Here's what you said: Read more
Two weeks ago, we queried the KLue readership hive-mind about its economic anxieties, following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's tabling of his 2010 Budget, which inlcuded tax cuts, credit card fees, and lotsa big, amorphous figures. Below is what people are most afraid of: Read more
KLue and DSTNCT has some empty spots to fill. We're looking for an editorial intern for KLue and a 3D design intern for DSTNCT to fill in those lonely gaps in the office. Are you The One? Read more
Despite its relative irrelevance to the Malaysian context, the celebration of Halloween seems to be gaining traction in this climes. KLue itself was out of town for the 31 October weekend, but there were parties and events galore. Celebrating ghoulies is shaping up to be quite fun (and profitable) indeed! We left you, our dear readers, with a query on your Halloween plans in our latest poll. Here's how people spent their time last weekend. Read more
2009 has been a gosh-darned exciting year for journalism, filled with by-elections, political upheaval, and plain whackiness. It also saw the continued ascendancy of citizen reporting: ordinary folk with cameraphones and blogs and a drive to be in the midst of events.
So how did you peeps get your news? Who did you trust more? Read more
The festival of lights and celebration is here! Wishing you a Diwali... bright with joy, sparkling with success and glowing with warmth! Read more
We've got to admit, we don't have duit Raya, kuih Raya, kad Raya or open house for you folks but we did put our heads together and made a special Raya gif just for you. See it! See it! Read more
We never knew there were so many budding Spielbergs in Malaysia till Corntoz unleashed their recent Corntoz Express Yourself TVC campaign. Hundreds of video entries were submitted that share Malaysian creative directing and acting talent with the world. Read more
Thankfully we live in the computer age where funny emails, stories and lolcats are just a click away. The depressing thing about that is there is no competitive spirit among co-workers when looking stupid cats with stupider captions. Read more
KLue +5 is a monthly event where we invite people from different industries to mingle and basically expand their social network. With August being the month of Merdeka, it was no surprise that the latest KLue +5 featured alll things Malaysia-related, including 15Malaysia. Read more
