Unsafe everywhere

Today when I went to a shopping mall toilet alone, I saw a security guard stood at the end of the pathway. My immediate action was to look if there is anyone near me. I saw another chinese man, sort of elderly father waiting for his kid for toilet break. It soothed me. I felt so unsecured to see the security guard. In my impression, security guards are rapist and policemen are a part of gangster. I saw one security guard twice when I go to toilet. That is going to kill me. The world is so unsecured. People are being harmed violently and the police isn't doing anything to stop it.

Yesterday I read the newspaper that extra police force is assigned to those places with high crime rate yesterday and today I saw a report saying that the crime rate for this week has dropped a lot. The report is really conflicting. Is it real that the crime rate has decreased? What police does is to block the road at the peak hour of the day causing traffic jam and summon road users for some small unnessecary offences. Police likes giving summon to those residents who are forced to park along the roadside because of limited parking lots in their apartment at a very weird hour of the day (8-11pm) and even 12 pm, very obvious that they just want to fullfill their summon quota of the month.

The starting point of the Penang Hill hike. I wasn't fit to reach even the first stop. I felt breathless because of the number of stairs to walk up...

Sometimes I wish it rains

This picture was taken on a very hot day. I hate the sun

Sometimes I wish it rains, just like now. So it will wash away all the sadness and dissapointment. I coughed so much that I feel my lungs going to fall off.

Dim sum@ Cititel

My first time to Cititel Penang was during my colleague's wedding dinner. The second time was when WL brought me for dim sum's lunch. I reckoned the bill must be very expensive and if we don't get the 50% discounted price. To my surprise the 50% promotion is not always available, only on certain time when they have and I don't know when.

The staircase leads to the restaurant...

We had salad prawn with the delicious salad sauce, xiao long pau, pork rib in bean sauce, and the noodle which I not sure what the name is, but it is simple irresistable.

We ordered the quantity which we estimated is enough for 2 and we paid RM29 not inclusive of flat RM4 parking fees. Just nice for a luxurious afternoon dim sum treat, once in a blue moon..

DIY: Alteration

I bought this MNG pants with my room-mate before Chinese New Year 2007. I couldn't wear it because the pants is too LONG.



After the measuring, I decided to alter it by 2 inches. Due to my lazyness to find a tailor, I altered the pants myself today after 6 months hanging it in my wardrobe.

All I need is a needle and BLACK thread.

and recall the sewing method back in Kemahiran Hidup class in Form 1. It is called "silang pangkah"...

Voila!!! Done. I can wear it to work tomorrow.

Bruises on knees

Lately a new some sort of happening place is opened in the biggest and longest mall in Penang. It is for inline-skating game. I feel the entrance fee is relatively expensive per person although it is for unlimited play time. For kids that can produce their student card, there is special 50% discount given to these people. Now you can see whole bunch of school children pass their time in leisure here. I went there with my working buddies, about 10 of us, on a WORKING DAY.



The place is quite big, about 4 baskteball courts in my estimation. Many gripping parts in the field has either been pulled off or spoiled by those new user, like ME! I hold to the side walls at the first one hour I spent there. Pretty embarassing because I have to ask the xiao mei mei and xiao di di to disperse from the blocking formed by their gang to let me pass through. You see, I can't stand without holding anything!!.. Stupid in action.. More stupier is somebody commented that the way I "brake" looked very ugly because the way I bend my knees makes my butt unpleasently looking.


I passed through the place again yesterday night and it was packed with people. I don't know how can they play in such a crowded area..

I fall a few times when skating. The front fall was painful than falling on my back. You know, the cushion!

My leg with bruises..

Can't see?
