Happiness Program - one off payment, to yoga for life


So yesterday I took the trouble to wake up extra earlier than I usually would , just to go and attend this Yoga FIT
 event at The Galleria by BSG on Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah .

After the roughly 2 to 3 hour free session ended , I opted to attend an Ayurveda talk and it was there that I was made more aware of this program which I had heard of around a year back,  but one ..... did not fully believe that such a thing existed , and two ...... it was due to a communication problem because the person who told me about it only spoke in Mandarin or Hokkien , 2 languages which I completely suck at .

Restoran Mints - Taman Bagan



Half the fun is in finding the place .....or not at all . Instead ,when you stumble upon another place while searching for the first and it turns out better , as opposed to what happened at Taman Saga , it comes as a little reward , as a payback for all your effort .

This restaurant and its local workforce , they work in complete unison . There are no foreign workers here but they're managing extremely well because men are in charge of the most stressful part of the show . Being waiters and cooks , they're fast and make sure all dishes are delivered simultaneously. Watching the Chinese kitchen in action is nothing short of amazing.

On the other hand, the women , were left to handle more miniscule tasks , but we ( I say we since I'm Chinese and although I can cook well , I can understand how they feel being thrust into such an environment ) we wither under such hot and uncomfortable conditions. Except for the lady in the kitchen in charge of retrieving ingredients , the drink lady screwed up our order and the lady in charge of scooping rice , dropped the scoop onto the floor and I don't even want to know if she washed the scoop after that or not at all. 

French beans with minced meat.
Crunchy and bursting with natural sweetness . Delicious !

The new KTM Butterworth train station


Well , it took some time but now it is finally completed.
Outwardly, it looks very comfortable and promising but let's go in and take a look shall we ?
Walking in from the very spacious carpark where the patches of grass have yet to take root , shows you just how new the station is.

4pm at Kampung Benggali - for Malaysian drink desserts



Have never ceased to be amazed by how a small street like this with just 3 drink dessert stalls, can attract such a swarm of customers.





This shoplot houses the most popular soya bean drink seller of the lot. Didn't get to try their soya beancurd dessert as it was sold out. Settled on their soya bean drinks... really something, since they don't stinge on the gula melaka and white sugar.
