"Simple" handwashing

Is there such a thing as "Complex" handwashing???? :)

Oh, the horror!

On every radio channel, be it English or Chinese, for the WHOLE OF YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING they were playing romantic music.





ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!





And every supermarket, florist and departmental store around the area I stay were selling red and pink stuff. OVERPRICED red and pink stuff...







OH THE HORROR!





MAKE IT STOP......

Weld Quay Tree Shade Seafood Restaurant

There's a good and rather cheap (but rather dank and wet) seafood restaurant, opposite the Penang Ferry terminal. Four persons, with fish (tau teh - big brother to the white pomfret) and chicken dishes plus two vege less than RM50. And all the free papadum and curry dip that you can eat. Opens for Lunch and Dinner, closed Tuesdays (I think). Very wide selection of fresh seafood.

Parking by the roadside or along the side roads, but expect the occasional "saman" from the friendly JPJ/PDRM/MPPP folks.

Only complaint - a little on the oily side.

The Wikimapia tag is here.

Mummy look what I saw last week

Was enjoying some precious family time with the kids and wife over at Botanical Garden. At the lily pond area, saw this:

Looks like a turtle, doesn't it? Blame that on my handphone camera, which, even at 2MP, sucks.

'twas a monitor lizard, about a meter long, sticking its tongue out in the air, smelling for tasty kids to snack on... (smack). Ouch. Which is what happened when my daughter started yelling at me. ;)

NVM, back to your previously scheduled programme.

That thick layer...

I've been wondering why the thick layer of yogurt that sticks to the top of the foil covering Nestle yogurt cups can't be removed without using my tongue or the spoon that comes with the cup. No amount of shaking in any direction can soften the gooey deliciousness...

Caught some pics of a fire happening behind this apartment block in Relau on May 31st. Didn't have time to post them until today, as I've been busy half the time since then looking after my daughter who was admitted to hospital for high fever, and the other half catching up with my work after taking 3 days leave.




A few minutes after I took these shots, my son saw a fire truck heading towards the fire, and it was gone about half an hour later, so no worries.

Sucks to be the residents of that apartment block though, looked like a tire fire, and burning rubber is worse than a stink bomb.

Anti obesity programme - enhanced model

I was reading in The Star that Singapore has stopped an anti-obesity programme, as the kids were getting teased. Then I got to wondering whether the Malaysian government would like to improve their anti-obesity programmes by doing the following:

1. Set up massive centers of Wii consoles in each major city
2. Allow only people with obesity problems to use these machines, and make sure that they play more physically active games
   
3. As an incentive, allow the participants to take a Wii home if they are able to hit their correct BMI, so that they can maintain their weight
   

All that money we saved with last year's petrol price hike can now be used for the benefit of the people, rather than non-existent road maintanence or kickbacks for useless street "enhancement" projects.

I'd also like to see an end to all these trendy "Fitness centers" - replace them with Wii centers and charge per hour. I think this would get more people exercising.
