Lines in the sky

The object you see in the photos below looks like an UFO, but in fact it is none other than the sun. Took these photos while stuck in a jam one day on my way to work. I noticed the nice and weird lines in the sky and decided to take some random shots. Here, enjoy:

Nice streetlamp.

Nice streetlamp again.

Nice cranes.

I can see you're somewhat confused? In case you're not familiar with my lame brand of jokes, yes, I like to put photo captions that have nothing to do with the main topic. Here's a random photo:

Confused looking fish.

Tourist trap

I don't consider myself a very savvy or myvi traveler, but look at this picture:


This is a seafood restaurant that I dined for dinner at Tanjung Tualang after coming down from Cameron Highlands. See that 'Willkommnen' there? It means 'Welcome' in German. Now perhaps it is not fair or accurate for me to say this, but if you happen to see a stall that doesnt look too classy and is not in a fancy location (as compared to Bukit Bintang for example), and it happens to spot some foreign signs such as this one, my guess is it's probably a tourist trap, waiting to overcharge gwai lous! I would love to hear you comment on this one.

Cameron Highlights

Yes I know it's been awhile since I last updated. Been busy with my new job. I'm at Singapore right now for a business trip. Anyway, today I don't have a lot of things to say (12am now, brain is tired), so why don't I just show you some selected pictures from my recent trip to Cameron Highlands? :-) p/s: All photos taken with my trusty (more like rusty now) Nokia N73.

Super fresh fruits and vegetables. Look at the size of those corn compared to my finger. Those of you who knows me well knows that I have really huge hands and long fingers, so you can imagine the size of the corn. I ate it raw, and it tastes sweet! Yes, raw corn! Fantastic. However, one of my friends observed that there were no ants on the corns. I wonder could it be due to pesticides? (Maybe I shouldn't have eaten it raw...)

More beautiful, colorful, cheerful plastic-wrapped vegetables...

Spotted the new singaporean Honda Jazz / Fit, which will be released in Malaysia soon too. There's tons of them in Singapore. And by the way, here's a link to the highly anticipated 2009 Honda City.

Tea plantation

Communications tower right on top of Mount Boh. Ok I kid. There's no such thing as Mount Boh, but I'm actually referring to the Boh Plantations.





Beautiful flowers at Mount Boh... I mean Boh Plantations.

And lastly, here's a common sight in Malaysia.

Here's a sign asking us to love our rivers and to take care of it....

And here's the aforementioned river. It's disgraceful. When can we stop having third-world mentalities??!!! Sheesh!!

Love dog

This post is dedicated to my dog, Pammy.



She's a really lovely and loving dog. See that heart-shaped black patch on her body? :-)

Talk about stating the obvious

Here's a funny sign that me and my good friends discovered while hiking at Bukit Gasing.



I bring your attention to this sentence:
"Walau bagaimanapun, tumbuh-tumbuhan lebih senang dijumpai dari haiwan".

Translation: However, plants are easier to be found than animals.

Like... duhhh!

I shudder to think what kind of forest would have animals that are more easy to spot than trees and plants! Maybe they had 'concrete jungle' in mind, whereby there is definitely more city-dwelling animals called homo sapiens compared to plants.

Scary shopkeeper

Would you walk into a shop to buy stuffs if it had a shopkeeeper such as this:



Well, with us cutting down more forests in the name of development, I guess food is becoming scarce in the forest. Even orangutans need to come out of the jungle and be budding entrepreneurs in order to survive.

Jokes aside, this thing really freaked me out for one second while I was strolling along some festival in Kuala Terengganu. Poor Spongebob, however, is permanently terrified! Look at the look on his face!

Government health advice

Yo peeps! (What is a 'peep' anyway? Is it as in, Peeping Toms? What if your name is not Tom?). It's been awhile, have been busy recently and started a new job about 1 week ago.

How are you guys doing? Feeling unhealthy recently? Gaining weight, on the path to obesity? Well if that's the case, you better use the elevator. Don't try to use the stairs as a form of exercise. Why, you ask? Because that's what our government advises:



So, use the stairs only if you're STILL healthy!

No wonder all those overweight makciks never use the stairs, even if it's just to go down one floor. Just heeding the government's advice, wo kan.
