Don't Breathe playing next to Can't Hear

Trooping into the cinema with the sole intention of catching that knee buckling scary old man flick , Don't Breathe , we were..... well , you can say somewhat prepared to Not Breathe .

Then , as I checked out the movie listing , I noticed this .

Pekak means Deaf in Malay .

Which can be interpreted as Can't Hear .

PUIIII from afar

First I squinted to get a better look at the number plates , then I giggled 

Finger Wetted Tool

You won't believe what this incredible tool is . I myself stared at this , for a whole half a minute before it sank in .

Look again

Squinted my eyes and rubbed it again . God gawd ....is that the Greek God Apollo , son of Zeus or what ?

Midnight disciple of the Ikan Bakar man

Some Penangites pop cili padi like kacang puteh .

We go for our fix after midnight at Song River Cafe . Strange timing right ? Not really when you check out how many disciples are willing to make a beeline here and wait with the patience of a saint just to pay homage to this fiendish dish .

Trailer stuck in a tight spot

The trailer was stuck with a long 

line of cars waiting behind .

Thought someone would soon have to call for help .

Come , see the fountain on Codrington Avenue

Glued onto a spotted signboard near the traffic lights in Bayan Baru ,just before a hospital , I sometimes wonder why our society acts so prudish , when signs such as this , ,seem to indicate otherwise .

Wallet Ninja

Haha ... after chucking MYR 52 into the can that cannot see daylight yesterday , I went and bought this on a whim today .

All because the guy told me they're selling this for MYR 30 online .

A dollar store moment

I like trinkets and this reminds me of the watchman or nuns set of keys .

But there was no barcode attached and so I approached the first sales assistant that popped up on the aisle. 

Sons and their girls

I have 2 sons . When I gave birth to the first , someone said it straight to my face, that I was so clever for picking such an auspicious period to bring him into the world .

Today he is grown up and mingling with girls . But I don't feel so clever especially when I have to put up with certain things that come with the package of being a youngish looking mom .

Don't get me started on the 2nd , today , is just about No.1 

Buffalo crossing or Cow crossing

PLUS highway authorities have put up many Cow crossing signs along the North South artery. 

When they first appeared , we being city slickers were left scratching our heads .

In the first place , how did cows cut across the fencing to get onto the highway ? Maybe they jumped across ?

Bow wow

Oh the stray dogs in Penang , they lie in the middle of the road like this. Without a care in the world or the fear of being run over . Except this one is different.

He decides to take an OKU zone, my goodness. 

Lonely celebration

Could not believe my eyes when I walked past .

In fact , I stopped to scratch my head for a moment.

No , this certainly did not belong to a staff or worker. Neither was the glass from the open air restaurant's kitchen .

Someone actually packed a cheap packet of noodles and placed a glass of water this way. 

Temple of the Batcave - not Batman ' s hideout

Well I didn't exactly go in. This is just a picture of the sign towards the property.

No relevance to the subject but if you must know , some old timers in Penang actually have consumed bat soup before and according to them these fruit bats are very tasty but no , I am never having any thank you . 

Anyway , this is a temple. Not Batman's hideout. 

If you're near Penang Hill , you might wanna check this out. A lot of legends exist and the Tua Pek Kong is a Malay spirit whom the Chinese here worship.

One freaky meal

The meal was supposed to act like a pick me up. A self reward for restraining myself in the spend to kingdom come department. And for having to finally go trudge somewhere I have all these years, not been keen on going. 

Until I noticed the man on the left. I have to admit I did feel jittery. It's the beard that's gotten the bad press and sadly , I have been negatively influenced I'm afraid .  

This coming from me , a person who saved one old dude from getting pepper sprayed by a travel companion .....all because she too was spooked out by his appearance. He never knew what was about to hit him when I hissed at her to keep it away.

Have A Happy GST ???

I can't believe the store man actually wished me 

" Have a Happy GST " 

just now when I left the outlet . 

But he did.

The gall of him. Made me feel like stringing him upside down and shaking his brains out . 

Happened at a flat priced outlet which revised its price from RM5 to RM5.65 before GST and by tomorrow , everything will shoot up to RM6. 

Grrrrrrrrr. Shopping as a therapy just got much less pleasurable. 

While the aunties and uncles battled amongst themselves to get more toilet paper , the lala luis and ah beng chais decided to cram up the tills at surprise , surprise .....Watson's. 

Proof below. 

Why some prefer to takeaway

The last time I ordered Tai Lok Mee , my other half polished half the steaming plate and left us with a miserable amount to share between us. We were still hungry after that while he was happy and contented. Demmit.
Back for vengeance, I've got it figured out. I'm gonna have to order more ! Tonight yes !
Last time I ordered Tai Lok Mee for 2 , Hokkien Char Beehoon for 1 person and Crispy Sang Meen for 1 also . This was how the order went today.

Why your Tuk Tuk driver might take a longer route

Caught a late night movie at Terminal 21. By the time we came out , it was 1:30 am and this being an area I was unfamiliar with, we tried to hail a cab back.

None available , all full, probably a spillover effect from Nana. Anyway, under the bridge was a lone Tuk Tuk driver.

" 300 baht " . Good gawd, what to do but hop in.

Now take a look at the red dotted line. That was the long and crooked route he took , when all he had to do was follow the BTS line

Birds of a feather feed together at Avillion

You know the saying right ? 

However after seeing the cock flying kick the hens and rabbits over by the petfarm , this fella was decidedly toned down and non territorial.

How about that ? 

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 ?
