Quickie: "Danger Du Mort!"

"Danger du Mort!"

I thought I just heard something.

"Danger du Mort!"

There, I heard it again.

Tilting my head downwards from the top of a flight of stairs, I saw a lady at the bottom pointing at my T-shirt and then she said it again "Danger du Mort!" in a heavy french accent.

I blushed. Here we are in Pak Ou caves in Luang Prabang, Laos soaking in the sights & sounds, a french lady is busy pointing at my shirt. I pulled the chest area of my shirt outwards to scrutinise the print. Yes, I remember vividly that it is printed as danger de mort. I nodded and smiled back politely, in a slight dismissing manner.

Then the lady asked,"Do you know francais..?". "Nope," I said.

Then she followed,"It means you're dangerous..grrr".

Oh Merci. What an awkward surprise to know this. I'm beginning to love this place even more now.

Journey Back from Lake Kenyir

In this third and final write-up on the KB wedding trip, I would like to share our journey from Lake Kenyir to Kuala Lumpur. The route we took started from the coastal road of Terengganu through the East-West highway and onwards to the Karak highway and eventually home. A thick fog came to greet us on our last morning in Kenyir (Left).

Kota Bahru, Kelantan

Back in November 2008, I attended my friend, Tiong's wedding in Kota Bahru (KB), Kelantan. Prior to this, I have only been in KB once so this would make it the second time that I have been to KB. However, this would mark the first time I have driven up to Kelantan and I must say, the furthest I have driven thus far!

Quickie: Swine Flu

Swine Flu? What Swine Flu?

Looking at the photo below, you probably would not have guess that swine flu is a concern here.

hmm...I know I'm suppose to say something now...hmmm...Oh yeah! By the way, those people went all the way to Taiping to just rub their lottery tickets on the wild boar's back to get lucky.

Interesting? You betcha!

Bamiyan Buddhas

Last week was Wesak day, a day to commerate the birth, enlightening and death of Lord Buddha. This year also happens to be the 8th year that the two Bamiyan Buddha statues were bombed and destroyed by Taleban in Afghanistan, due to fanaticism and intolerance. The monumental statues were carved out from a sandstone cliff in the beautifully stunning Bamiyan Valley and its still a shocker to see the huge voids that the statues once stood for more than 1500 years. Funny enough though, Bamiyan still has enough precious ruins to make it into the Unesco heritage list but now has losts its marvel without its most significant wonder. The valley is located along the silk route, drawings its heritage from the ancient west Asia and China.

The Hype That is Garbage Enzyme

Lately, there has been an increased of news regarding the miraculous usage of the Garbage Enzyme. Since reading it in the Star newspaper not too long ago, I have been trying to understand the science behind the forming of this enzyme.
