Me and my mate went to a foodcourt to have Curry Fish Head. Because there were many stalls, we called up a friend to identify the stall owners name. We found 2 stalls with the same name. One was operated by 2 Indonesian woman and the other was empty. These are Chinese style curry fish head stalls.

I wasn’t too happy with the fact that the owner left the stall under the hands of his 2 Indonesian maids. It’s a sign of crappy quality food.

We then saw Bong Cafe and decided it’s best to get a drink from them and which stall is owned by Ah Chun (owner). The girl from Bong Cafe was busy SMSing while my friend franticly waved his hand for attention. After about 1 minute of waving, someone saw us and started shouting at the SMSing girl.

She came for orders and we asked the ever important question. “Hey … which one is Ah Chun’s stall?”

“Both stalls are his. Same owner” she replied.

I made a mistake not asking her if the curry was superb. My friend went ahead and ordered from the 2 Indonesian maids.

As we waited for our curry, I can’t help thinking how the owner named his shop BONG. Was he having 19 cones on his bong when he was cracking his head for a name? Or did it just hit him … BONG! Ok I’ll name it BONG. Nevermind.

The sight of the curry did not impress me. It looked watery and tastes like curry soup. Very diluted and totally failed the high standards of our tastebuds. I often argue with Andrew, 95% of Chinese style curry are plain crap.

For top notch South Indian type curries, head to Tajjudin Hussein in Little India. The curry is so good you can drink it like soup non stop. Hrrm … I need to head there today for my fix.

I was trekking at the trails of Youth Park today and obviously couldn’t attend the bloggers meeting. The weather was kinda moody so I didn’t go to Muka Head as planned.

We hiked up to No 6 then down No 5 for some refreshments. Took some photos and then proceeded down to No 3.

At the stop, we saw a man who was having heart problem and I could hear the sirens of the ambulance below. He was resting on a bench looking spaced out but I’m sure he’ll be ok.

I was looking out for hospital personnels hiking up the trail with a stretcher but didn’t see any. It would take about 10-15 minutes to descend from where the troubled man is. With a stretcher and the man on it, I’d reckon a hard 20-30 minutes.

When I got to my car, I took off my shirt and dried myself. Chatting with my friend, I saw 2 guys and a girl pass by.

After about 2 seconds, I thought to myself. “Hey! Isn’t that LiewCF?”

I called out to him and he responded. We shook hands and I said nice to meet him and went back to drying myself. The world sure is small and Penang is micro.

Sorry for the indecent exposure

This was taken while I was hiking up Penang Hill some weeks back. As you get nearer to the top, you will see more interesting plants like the monkey’s pitcher and wild ferns.

Be careful of monkey packs when going up. They can be friendly one minute and turn nasty another. If they do get aggressive, DO NOT run. Stand your ground, raise up your hands and show your teeth. Hell … beat your chest even. Show them who’s boss

Yeah it’s lame to post so late but better than never

It all started with me meeting vinzanity and raz at Sungai Nibong Bus Station. I wanted to drive earlier but chose the bus option. Driving in KL for me is hell since I don’t know the roads there. I would usually drive down then take a cab to go anywhere I want. This time I wanted someone else to do the driving.

f1ex was already in KL waiting for us. He called me a few times while we were in the bus. I had asked vinzanity to bring along a wireless router so we could share any Internet connection we could find. f1ex had checked into Federal Hotel and of course Internet access is not free. He described to me their service provider and I told him I’d get back to him. Me and vinzanity did some checks in the bus and SMSed f1ex a working username/password.

Ok … for those of you who attended Anthony & Jim’s “War Driving Kuala Lumpur” training during HITBSecConf2005, these little points might be of interest to you.

I wished we had drove and collected more points but we “got stuck” somewhere for quite some time

I was just watching the Discovery channel last night and one of the animals featured was the anteater.

Anteaters feed almost exclusively on ants and termites, whose nests they rip open with their powerful forelimbs. They also take some beetle larvae and bees, and in captivity giant anteaters accept some fruit. The prey of anteaters adheres to their long, sticky tongues. It is swallowed, and part of the digestive process involves grinding by the unusually muscular pyloric region of the stomach.

The tongue is also long. Anteaters secrete a sticky substance from their salivary glands that coats the tongue when they feed. The ears are small and rounded, and the eyes are small.

Save yourself some money and buy a pet anteater if you have termite problems

A good friend’s mother passed away and we helped out a bit with the procession. The hearse got loaded up and we followed closely.

This is one of the traffic police who provided us with a clear path as the hearse went for a little detour.

I was driving my car while my friend Daniel had his butt out of the window and happily snapping shots. My only worry was he’d fall off my car. The cops were cool though.
