When I was in KL, I noticed that there were a lot of foreign workers around – Bangladeshis and a lot from Myamar including those in the housekeeping department in the hotel where I was staying. Well, it so happened that at one of the coffee shops along Jalan Alor, I stumbled upon this stall [...]
Peteformation had a post recently on yellow noodles and the danger in the excessive use of the boric acid in them. I did notice that over in the peninsula, the noodles are VERY yellow…and they’re very much firmer, and maybe elsewhere like in Kuching too. The ones in Sibu are pale and soft/limp…and may get [...]
If you’re wondering how my girl is doing in Wellington, New Zealand, it certainly looks like she’s doing all right now. Here, she was at a Chinese New Year’s Eve gathering at a Japanese restaurant… …wearing the Malaysian sarong cheongsam outfit that I bought for her in Penang. She had this chicken set that cost [...]

Then, when I arrived in KL, Mandy gave me one big [...]
On 16th February, the 3rd day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, I attended another ex-student’s wedding. Here are the newly-weds – Constantine and his beautiful bride, Ita… Actually Constantine’s younger brother, Desmond, contacted me sometime in November or December to extend the invitation. He said that his mother had asked the two brothers and [...]
