Deadly guardrails

This is a highway guardrail .

The very thing that is supposed to assist in protecting vehicles and its occupants lives , by absorbing , deflecting , and dissipating the force at point of impact , and most important of all , crumple , the very moment it is hit .

However , in the past one week alone , there have been 3 deaths caused by impalation via guardrail alone . 

You can't even label it a freak accident anymore after one too many occurrences .

Indeed , the guardrails have instead turned into giant deadly swords on our highways .

These " swords " are just not crumpling .

There ' s a t-t-t-iger at the Sungai Perak R & R Northbound

A stuffed toy tiger to be exact.

In a cage. Facing the jungle fringe.

What is this ? A marketing gimmick or voodoo ? 

Wonder what large looks like

My preferred stall only had medium sized prawns at the counter. Thus, I had to go next door since I was beginning to hallucinate over when I could sink my fangs into a big fat crustacean.

Pointing to the fattest one , I start snapping away until the lady boss asks me...

" Amoiiiii....nak makan ke nak bungkus ?"

( Young lady , would you like to takeaway or eat in ? )

In other words, I was probably being darned annoying to her. Someone had to stop me. Part of me wanted to tell her that we're both around the same age.

The other part shrugged it off. Must be I have more male hormones, cos either I seem to be blossoming with more character the older I get or I'm just imagining all these up. Syok sendiri. 

Oh what am I rambling on about ?

See, of late, I

have been getting more than a fair share of attention of which I have no explanation for. Even when I think I'm dressed so shabbily. 

Even got a call late at night from someone who thought I'd sent him a present . Hmmmmm....what in the world ? Do I really look like I'm in hunt mode ? How do I always end up sending out the wrong signals ? Beats me. I told him no .

He sounded totally dissappointed . In me. Sigh...

I got laughed at over this.

" what did you do to him , to make him not forget you and want to contact you a whole year later ？＂ 

Gimme a break. 

Anyway, back to the lady who's the same age as me. Maybe she thinks I am an Amoi because I'm acting like the usual fluff ball I am, totally unafraid to show my lack of intelligence. Keh keh keh. It's fun on my part. Fun that I don't feel the need to prove anything.

Point out the one I want. Then ask how much. Turns out, the largest one cost just RM7.

Jeepers.

She breaks into a smile the more I speak. Geee ....am I some entertaining goon or what...oh, never mind.

PLUS NSE exit 2801 - almost like Sydney !

 

 

Well, last night was a historic moment in which tens of thousands of people in the Northern Region, poured towards the newly opened Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge or the Second Penang Bridge / JK2PP .

While the entire fanfare was focused on the bridge itself, I seriously think that PLUS authorities have come up with a real gem, which I foresee is going to be hugely popular with the locals as it looks just like Sydney Harbour's bridge from afar !
