Social media life

 

Mum's got it right there...  Unfortunately! Yeah, I've been posting stuff on social media... (just like everyone else?!) and particularly on  groups... but somehow my average "like" count is pretty much low. All the time.  Am I doing something wrong?! Oh well...  

Time to get a life...

Haze

 

As I am posting this, the haze in Southeast Asia has cleared...Hooray!  .... for now.  We've been experiencing haze (something like smog) for several months now  as a result of traditional slash and burn clearing of land in Indonesia for planting. (Some say it is for oil palm planting but that is another story again...  ) Previously we have had similar incidents and it did clear after a short while. This time it seems like forever for it to go away. At some point, the API (Air Pollutant Index) number rose to an unhealthy level around 200+ (Seriously, it was waaay higher than that! But no one believes the numbers the government gives the public anyway!  ) ... forcing schools to be closed. Businesses also suffered as many stayed indoors to escape the smelly, foggy, burnt (and dangerous too) air... 

This was what I saw from the local news during the height of the haze... It seemed like the authorities and meteorological department can't even tell exactly when will the haze be blown away.  Currently due to the monsoon season the winds and rain has cleared the skies.   

Reading  comments on the reaction of the return of the blue skies, many said that they never felt so relieved... so happy and so grateful to see the sunshine and blue skies again. Never again will they take for granted these things.  Really amazing. I can't agree with them more!  

Hopefully it will remain like this in months to come...

Uncle Ferrari

True story. I was at the post office and heard this loud uncle asking when will his letter arrive in the UK... I didn't really bother to look at the man since I was too busy waiting for my turn... I did my transaction and exited the post office. Same time as two other ppl and then this uncle casually strolled up to the red Ferrari parked by the road side... I was like...

So, the saying is ever true... "Never judge a book by its cover..." and another saying is true... "You see a fast car and then the driver is an uncle inside... " The term uncle over here is generally used to describe an older man, usually middle-age to older, sometimes balding, sometimes grey hair... you get what I mean... No offense to any older gentlemen here... just that it does take someone to reach that age in order to afford a car like that.... "generally" .... Of course there are some exceptions...

Pardon me... it's very hazy over here right now... *cough cough* ...

Hunky Handsome Sellers

 

Saw these few articles some months back  and I've been wanting to do this comic... so, it's finally done! It started with the Taiwanese tofu seller, and somehow it just went from one to another. 

Taiwan Tofu Seller

Taiwan Veggie Seller

Malaysia Durian Seller

Meanwhile, in real life.... 

For my overseas readers, "Lelong" means sale, or cheap... and "Mari" means come. So it's like," Cheap sale, cheap sale, come, come!"

Suddenly

 

Another post for my fellow Malaysians...  I was reading  some of the comments on a  post and someone wrote a list of all the "sudden" events that happened within this past month or so. Thought it was pretty accurate and as more "sudden" events may continue to occur, I suggest you to refill your bucket of popcorn... It's going to be a long ride... 

My deepest sympathies to the family, relatives and friends of those who lost their loved ones on flight MH370.
