Weird cloud over Georgetown

 

 

See for yourself. It looks like a giant mole coming down to earth from the skies above.

 

 

 

 

Stood there for the longest time looking at it with my mouth wide open. At that time I didn't have my camera with me so I whipped out my tiny handphone.

Beef noodle shop - Siam Square

I know some people will be attracted to the fact that there are two Ladyboy waitresses here. They're not in the pic but the more flamboyant one , who likes to wear skimpy shorts and speaks English like a deeesainNah sashays down this runway, past the protestor with a confidence level that is waaayyy beyond me. 

Decided decision

 

 

Few days from now, I'm about to do what could possibly turn out to be one of the craziest things I've ever decided to do in my entire life. Had wanted to opt out but wth.... Hopefully I don't end up feeling like this. Confined , marooned and well...dumbfounded.

 

 

 

Since I'm also dragging some prey with muah.

We're all in the same boat together.Kah kah kah. No way to turn back now

 

 



How a local Indian Barbershop celebrates the Chinese New Year

 

See for yourself how it's done.

 

 

 

 

They decided to play safe and put everything lucky up.

Best bait in the world ?

The shiny colour of the bait made me go nearer for a closer look

Bwa hahahahaha

Cheezels, a packet of cheezels can you believe it ?

The new Penang MPPP parking coupon booklet

Forced and left with no choice but to purchase these coupons that have effectively made the hardworking army of parking attendants , redundant and jobless (who by the way, actually kept car thefts and break ins, to a minimum in areas covered by them,due to their vigilance) , if there's one common word everyone is directing towards the local state government and the MPPP....it has got to be...Park. 

Although the coupon system has been in use in Prai for years already, we simply cannot use those but must purchase these instead. 
 One state, two parking coupon systems. 
Clever. Whose idea was this again ? 

Starstruck by the Tiger of Jelutong

There I was bugging the girl at the counter to show me the latest cache of freebies. And then, from the corner of my eye I spot something familiar that makes me totally loose my composure.

In disbelief , I stare at the shock of white hair, while he notices my dropped jaw and my eyes that are almost on the verge of popping out of their sockets !

Holy sheeeeeet !!!!!! It's really Karpal Singh !!!!!!!

My insides and brains were scrambled . I was seriously, seriously starstruck or so to put it.

 

Omg omg omg and what do I do next ?

Our crazy bus driver takes a shortcut across Taksim Square

You know, all the while I've told you about how nice and hospitable Turkish people are. Well, on the other hand, while stories abound about their maniacal drivers ( fuyoh, can match us Malaysians)  I can show you what happened to me ( us, the whole jingbang of tourists onboard ). 
Our crazy bus driver, on first impression looks like a nice old grandfather. But maigawd, another Malaysian mummy at the back of the bus sums him up in this statement ........ 

" Ohoohohohohooo!!! Bang tengok dia bang ! Terernyer bang ! Dashyatnya bang ! Wohoooo !" half admiring his crazy decision to drive across Taksim Square and get us all on a money cannot buy exclusive tour with him in peh ree zeeen ! Just across is a top secret looking run down police hq ok ?

I give you my experience in 6 blurry pictures of how my life flashed before me.

1. What is he up to this time ? Probably going to park on the kerb and wait for passengers .

2. No wait...wtf ????? He gonna mow them down or what ???

Daddy's Bodyguard

I like to engage in small talk with total strangers. No obligation to be held accountable for whatever I may say .

Yup, so, if you're not in the same line as me, and you chat me up in public, I'm not gonna look you up and down like you're a pervert. I'm gonna yak along and liven up our fleeting encounter.

So happens that I was standing outside CIMB the other day, that make believe real bank inside Kidzania, when this macho looking older guy standing behind me, decides to open his mouth.

Mr Macho : Huh, macam betul ajer kan ?

Me : Oh yeah, haha. Kalau boleh kan, I pon nak join in. Sronok betol tengok dorang main kan ? Heh heh

Mr Macho : ( warming up ) bla bla bla bla bla

Try not to tell the doctor you're afraid of needles

My GP is in her 70s . Hale and hearty as an ox. When she suggested that I get jabbed, I just had to open my big mouth and tell her my aversion to needles.

Well, that did it. 

GP : " Why ? Are you afraid of the sight of blood ?"

Me : " No, it's just that, I have a tendency to black out after that "

She's giving me a funny look at this point

Me :"  I mean, it won't happen instantly, but when it does, it comes without warning . I'll just drop and the last thing I hear is people screaming .....Aiyooooo....Amoi ! Amoi ! "

She pauses to think

Extreme petrol saving technique

Still panting, he holds onto the traffic light for support.
But he's happy, since he's found the most low maintainence vehicle, with a 100percent petrol free technique anyone in Malaysia has ever thought of.

"Wheel "anyone  wanna emulate him ?

Give Me Back .... Boleh ?

Some bafoon credited $5 into my phone last night and called me 6 times to retrieve it. I'd left my phone in the car and when I finally got back in, he rang again. At first I couldn't make out if he was trying to scam me or made a genuine misake.

Bangla : Hello, can you give me back

Me : Give you back what ?

Bangla : The $5 I put in just now

Me :  What $ 5 ? Where got ?

Bangla : Give me back ...boleh ?

Me : Excuse me, I am not a shop, you have the wrong number

Bangla : Are you, Malay or Indian ?

Me : Chinese, why ?

Bangla : ( pauses ) Can you give me back ?

Me : Dei !!! I am not a shop. Wrong number, wrong number...goodbye !!!!

And only then I check my messages . Holy sheet, someone did top up $5 into my phone

Embarassed, I call him back ( read : again without checking some details )

Me : Eh, really got wor. 

Bangla : Give me back... Boleh ?

Me : ya, ya, wait let me try first

Bangla : Give me back

Me : can you wait, I need to figure this out first

Bangla : ok

And then only after putting down the phone do I discover his number is not the same telco company as mine. Sheesh...call back time ( wai em ai soh setupeed ? )

Surprise junk mail

Sometimes we just gotta check our junk mail. Coz if I had not, and if I had ignored it, I wouldn't have known that I was the receipient of something really nice . And since the most unexpected piece of good news,  was there sitting amongst the pile of e mail from scam artists, had I also not sifted through them on a regular basis, I probably would have let it pass unnoticed.

By now, if you're probably wondering what it is, well, I prefer to keep it under wraps first . That's me, who I am. How I got it was by chance actually. Picked it up during my maiden trip on Malindo Airlines. Talk about amazing. Fact is, sometimes , I'm left speechless. Done the deed without overthinking nor overexpecting . That's how life goes. 

And hey, to that someone up there , I know you're looking out for me and although there is no way I will know who you are, nor meet you in person, listen, I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for thinking that I deserve to live like a somebody sometimes. 

Camwhoring crab

So many things happened in Redang and this is one example

" Eh look ! There's a crab ! "

Rushed over and true enough there it was in the sand assuming this position.

Was it frightened ? Ready to attack ? Or maybe the fella is just plain curious about what we humans are up to ?

Never tell men you have a backache

Maybe I should have taken his picture but since I didn't you'll just have to use your imagination.

So, there I was minding my own business , waiting for the never coming public transport in the outskirts , after collecting a cache of goodies today, when another lady joined me. She too had a nice bag in her arms.

Yakkity yak, we went, oblivious to the scorching sun when the strapping guard signalled us to take shelter in his humble post. And, offered us a chair each.

Oh, women like us, we're fearless you see. She's a total stranger , so was he , yet we all got along like a house on fire.

He talked about himself, his life here, his wife in Pakistan , ..bla bla bla and before long the subject turned to what we do, how many kids we each have and our um, age and figures.

And because we're all matured people, she's 48 ( but looks 38) , he's 43 and I'm well the very slightly youngest of the lot, yeah, where was I, since he's also enjoying the way the 3 way CCP conversation is turning out, he tells me why don't I sit down. 

Okayyyyyy. I tell him the truth. And in one moment of great brilliance he tells me this gem
" you everyday sex , don't everyday sex, no backache "
He repeated himself 4 more times before his mate called him over for capati making duty. I'm not making this up. That was their lunch. That's what he told us anyway.

It is times like these that I wish the ground would just swallow me up.
I turn to hubby. Text him a concise edition of what happened. After laughing his nuts off at me, in so many words he makes it clear that he takes that as a compliment.
Men....Omfg. 

What wedded bliss ?

 

 

Was absolutely mortified to see this . Since a picture speaks a thousand words, I'll let you be the judge, of just what happened between what I presume are 2 former lovebirds .

 

 

 

Ironic that such a thing should happen of all places, at a bridal shop . Guess life must go on even when there is no happily ever after.

Jalan Kelawei - just ridiculous !

Take a good look at the road. It's so hard to tell the black lines apart from the white. Worse still at night when the streetlamps shine on them.

1. Entering Jalan Kelawei. Notice the left side of the road.

2. Start liao. Spot the ex double line.

One PARAM trader bought all this and more...

 

 

 

The lady in the black T shirt guarding all these trolleys is just his helper.

Later on, I came face to face with the pasar ramadhan trader, who was in the midst of pushing even more trolleys out, effectively wiping out almost all of the stock in the supermarket

 

 

 

 

They don't call these people silent millionaires for nothing.

 

 

 



Omg...Minion Madness !!

 

 

Things have taken a twist for the worse, or so it seems.

Ya, ya....although in the post before this I mentioned about being careful about posting things up, you just gotta see this

and be very aware that if you bring your kids, no one will be merciful ok ? They will get crushed and you will have no one to blame but yourself.

 

Even the metal shutter can get twisted. Plus I can see everyone sandwiched back to front like sardines. Notice the smiling foreigner in the front of the pic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the direct link to the page that posted it up. Coincidentally it is named....

You know how much an advertisement like this costs ? This is no laughing matter. Not to mention the embarassment involved ? Best to think before you forward or share anything that might cause a company to send you that lawyer's letter.
