Muar food excursion

A friend come down for a wedding last Saturday. He came off from work early on Friday so that he doesn't need to be caught on the famous jams around the city of Kuala Lumpur.

On Saturday morning, we decided to have a road trip to Muar, to sample the good there.

this was taken an around 7 am in the morning. Crazy huh just for some food far far away.

 the was the first place we visited. It a shop solely selling chicken rice. Apparently my friend who brought me there is from Muar as well.

Some newspaper clipping of the chicken rice.

The main event. This is quarter of a chicken.

Accompanied by three huge rice balls.

Total amount: Quarter plate of chicken rice balls, plus 3 rice balls and a drink each RM12.60

Next stop, skewered meat or satay.

Total amount: Five sticks of beef and five sticks of chicken, a plate of ketupat and one drink each RM10.70

Next to the bay for some relaxing time.

Before we head off back to Malacca, my friend introduce me to some drinks

Well if you want a cheaper bird's nest drink that this stall will be the place.

I got the RM0.80  one.

Next drink is something you wouldn't see else where in Malaysia.

Hidden at the fruit stall...  

is some good old pear juice.

it cost me RM1.00 for a cup.

There is so much more food to explore, but we hadn't had enough time. Overall I would go back to the chicken rice because of its price value which far exceeds the normal expensive prices that you will get elsewhere. The pear juice was something unique and I love it because of its tard taste.The satay was just mediocre tasting.
The four hour plus trip was really worth it in my opinion.

The hill excursion

Yesterday afternoon had a climb on a hill to get some exercise with my friends.

 the climb up was spellbinding....

 And this was definately the aim. To see the telecommunication tower at the top of the hill

 the freakishly scary, route looking down

 the telecommunication antenna up close!!

I've made it!!

and half way down, and at the side of the hill, you can view the whole city from the slope.

I was exhausted from seeing the beautiful view, as you can see from the picture of me being exhausted.

how to eradicate snatch thief incidents like that????

I played badminton some time ago in the afternoon today. In waiting for my turn to play, I had a conversation with an aunty who also came to have a few games of badminton She was telling how a friend's neighbor handbag got stolen. During the incident, the lady victim parked her car outside the porch, got her bag inside the car, and proceed by locking the car door and return to padlock the house gate. No long after that she heard a commotion behind her as she was about done securing the lock for the gate. When she turned back, she saw two men on a motorcycle, speeding off hurriedly. Upon checking what the fuss is about, she noticed that the door on the passenger side next to the driver's side was pried upon and her handbag gone.

I gave a suggestion, that maybe all ladies should just bring the essentials in an unassuming pouch or something like that to avoid thieves preying upon them.

Then another girl which was in the conversation before me, interjected my suggestion.

"You think girls have it easy like guys ar?. We have a lot of things to carry you know, a big purse, makeup, etc" she said.

Friendship without border.

Brandy the dog and DJ the kitty.

Hey this is Brandy and Dj. Brandy is the dog in that picture on the left and Dj is the kitty cat on the right.
In this day of age there is rampant misunderstanding, clashes of opinion over small issues. If animals such as the one that belongs to friends of mine could put aside differences and get together harmoniously  with prejudices and hatred. We humans are a complicated bunch I must say. Thought of sharing it to teach us a thing or two.

To advice or not too?

You know sometimes, when you care so much for a friend, and you trying to give advice and what you get in reply is this:

The overused
"I can do whatever I want"

"Everything I do is wrong"

"It not your life, it is mine"

I think when you already try to indirectly  to lead your friend to a better path by giving them a word or two but your friend rejects it with a big ego or doesn't even acknowledge his or her own fault. I think it's better to let them think for themselves. At the end of the day, you wouldn't want to be the receiving end of your buddy's bantering and wasting your time.

Sometimes people say that letting a friend do a mistake in life  is better because this will make them understand more. But on the other hand letting them astray into choosing the wrong path at the first place would be disastrous also.

Think  of the shame and the ridicule that person have to endure.
