Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil


Just a couple of days ago... my friend called me up and told me the funniest news of all time.. are you all prepared for this?? hang on to your seats as I believe its going to blow you all away....

on September 4th, 2008,
Dr Halimah Ali, Selangor Executive Councillor
quoted

"We talk about Sichuan, Nargis, but here is the worst disaster that has hit our nation this year and yet nobody is aware of this"
*Malay Mail pg 2* She was mentioning bout the Kapar storm which affected 5000 occupants from 1500 houses... and in paragraph 14 *Miraculously, only one man was said to have suffered minor injuries*

here is the statistic of the Sichuan Disaster 2008
Figure as on July21,2008
69,197 are confirmed dead, including 68,636 in Sichuan province,
and 374,176 injured,
with 18,222 listed as missing

for more info... please google the Sichuan Earthquake....

as you can see.. miraculous 1man minor injury against the 69197 death, 374176 injury and 18222 missing... and yet, a well educated Malaysian has the nerves to quote that we have the worst disaster which was not being mentioned by the world. I asked the world not to categorize or sterotype every Malaysian because of these few as I've no idea where they came up with this Inteligent idea. Not all Malaysian are as smart as these few... Its No Joke!!

(It is a sad case that the disaster has fall upon us on the 1st day of Ramadan in the Muslim calendar, 1st Sept 2008. Our Decades of peace without any natural disaster has been disrupt by the twister. I would like to ask the world to pray for Malaysia and the people affected by this tragedy so that their pain and difficulties would be eased and no such disaster will fall upon us ever again. it is not the worst disaster of the world this year or any other years... bt a disaster is still a disaster and I would pray for the people affected and I hope so does every Malaysians too)

Cuti Cuti Miri.. Pasar Malam.. come and Eat!! Eat !! Eat!!

Well, tis is the 4 log on Pasar Malam... what can i do.. i kinda snap up all the space in my 2G card.... :P I just love to snap... I'm trying to follow the sequence of all the pictures taken.. from the entrance to the other side of the exit.. and through the other side of the road... so I think most probably I'll still have a few more logs to go... then Im going to talk bout recent activities.. like my 8tv experience of Kan Chiong Kitchen.. and of course, my Amway event... oh, I went to PWTC today to attend the ceremony for Amway success appreciations..

anyways... lets get back to Pasar Malam...

Here we haf the all famous Banana Fritter.. Malaysian style.. compared to the ones I had in UK.. these r better.. way lot better...

Here is how u deep fry it... its 1st covered in batter which is a mixture of flour, egg..(I think) and hmm.. salt?? or sugar.. u decide.. lol... i think i haf to get the ingredient from my dad.. he is a great cook...

and so, the chef is very corporative enough to show me all the steps... well.. actually.. he is just doing what he is doing and i was lucky enough to have the patience to snap it all up...

Next, we have a selections of products of china.. lots of toys, household items,.. well, just name it.. china has got it... so these things here are not cheap.. but the quality is.. i would not advice anyone to buy here actually... but for the sake of experience... just buy one... :P

Here they have some cheap jewellery, watches, artificial gemstones.. but the sales r really doing a great job with thier PR. very convincing i would say..

Here you haf... emm... international perfume.. all made from... emmm.. somewhere.. and .. hmm.. i would never buy from them but.. there are lots of a certain ppl who buys em and its a killer... and i mean killer where when they walk pass you, even the germs die... :P

well, these clothes are not too bad... you can actually find nice ones here... just make sure you check and don mind the grammar... well... the thing is.. part from the food.. i never will buy anything else from here... there's a good reason to why it is so... anyways.. moving on..

Bananas... my favourite.. but I only take one type of banana.. and well, we call em "Keling" banana... its the best.. its extremely sweet.. reasonably sweet... compared to the rest.. over at this end, usually they calls em "Tamu" whereby they sell all the fruits, veges, and well, condiments... local condiments...

a whole family trading here.. its all to do with team-work.. and remember, the fruits and veges here are fresh and cheap.. if u know how to bargain.. u haf to have a sweet smile like mine to have a higher rate of success... lol

as you can see, most of the stalls are selling the same item or mostly in the same category... just browse around before you purchase...

another stall selling fruits...

these here are a bit camera shy... and overly curious... they ask after i snap... actually, it was suppose to be the other way around...

here is something new for me... handicrafts... previously they weren't here.. but that was 4 years ago... the last time i step foot into pasar malam... not too bad.. local handicrafts.... worth a look..

as you can see, its still early.. there is no fun to buy during the day.... come at night.. its more happenning..

says it all... "Pasar Tani"...

these van is parked in between the Pasar Tani and the Food section... also .. a variety of china products..... no comment here too.. since i would never buy here.... so ... u can give it a shot if u want.... :)
