Zoo Negara

Jee — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:51:49 +0000

We had a family gathering over the weekend; thanks to the public holiday, my sister (with hubby and kids) managed to travel from Penang to visit us in KL.

Where could be better place than a zoo to bring a bunch of kids for outing?

I can’t remember when was my prior trip to Zoo Negara… it must be more than a decade ago. The zoo seemed decent though, the condition and animal ‘collection’ was better than I expected.

Lion Dance

Jee — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 06:57:08 +0000

My uncle had hired a lion dance group to perform at his house during Chinese New Year, cost a couple hundreds of Ringgits.

When I was a kid, lion dance was quite often seen… during CNY or any Chinese organization’s related events.

Although Malaysia is world renowned for lion dance, it’s not as easily seen as those days. When I was a kid we could get a ‘lion’ performing at our house for RM10 or less; now it cost much more and needs advance booking.

Some people like to relate this to government’s sanction etc., but fact is it’s hard to maintain a lion dance group… it’s not financially sound and youngster these days are not as passionate about these kind of activities; they prefer TV or PC games perhaps.

I wonder 50 years from now on… will people still be seeing lion dance in Malaysia.

London photos

Jee — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 07:13:12 +0000

Was filtering my photo archives, found some decent photos that I have not shown on this blog, from my Europe trip last year. Here are some of the photos taken on Oct 7, 2005 at London.

Some sort of hut at St. James Park…

Birds at St. James Park…

Somewhere in London, no idea what it is when I went inside; it’s sort of like a library and a park, but thought that it looks cool to have places like that at the corner of a busy street…

Many foreigners still mistaken London Bridge with Tower Bridge, the real London Bridge looks ordinary like this…

This is the Tower Bridge; the middle of the bridge was raised occasionally to allow the flow of cruises…

Tower Bridge at night…

My amazing computer keyboard

Jee — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 04:24:40 +0000

This is the keyboard I am using, probably aged more than 6 years now… as seen most letters are already gone, I bet it needs at least a decent typist to use it (what I mean is I must be really good in typing lol).

Ang Moh Lychee?

Mum told me that this is ‘Ang Moh’ lychee, wondering what’s the proper name for this weird looking fruit..

Good evening

Trapa Natans

Jee — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 13:25:12 +0000

Trapa natans, or water chestnuts.. a common delicacy during Chinese Mid Autumn Festival in Malaysia.

Looks weird, taste weird..

I can understand having mooncake during Mid Autumn Festival, but wonder what water chestnuts have to do with the fest..

Whatever, Happy Mid Autumn Festival.

Chewing gum, your simple cure for constipation

Jee — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 06:38:05 +0000

Chewing some gum just now, and noticed the label behind.. saying that excessive use can have laxative effect.

That probably means that if I chew loads of gum I will probably shit more right? And for people who have constipation, they should chew more bubble gum :p

Sorry, got to go.. feel like shitting now.

Any idea what is this?

Jee — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 07:32:23 +0000

I am betting 50 cents that you don’t know what this is.. and I’ll bet another 50 cents that you won’t know the English name even if you ‘know’ what it is..

Highlight to see the answer..
It’s a lotus root that spent too much time in a refrigerator..
