Siamese twins??

Almost every Wednesday, the vegetable hawker next to my brother's stall at SS4 pasar malam always gives us a lot of vegetables after business, because most of the time he couldn't finish selling them.

Last Wednesday, we got lots of vegetables as usual. However, the ample supply included this odd old cucumber.



It looked so weird and funny that I just had to take some photos. (Does it remind you of a particular mobile phone service brand?)

We won't be keeping it around. Chances are my mom already prepared her old cucumber soup using it. I wonder if it'll be twice as tasty? :P

Eclipse in KLCC

This photo was taken in the underground tunnel below KLCC Park, stretching between the Suria KLCC and the convention centre.
It was really unusual to see the movie ad in the tunnel because the tunnel used to display product/service ads only. When I first saw it, I thought "Hmm... There's something new. I wonder how many people will pose in front of it for a photo?" Sure enough, for several days, while I was walking by after work, the expected scenes took place. It was quite funny.
I wonder if I should tell an old colleage of mine about this, since she's a big fan of the movie too...

My favourite bookstore

The Art of Racing in the Rain

Just started reading this book today, bought it from the previous Bookfest@Malaysia last year. It about a pet dog called Enzo and his master, with Enzo as the narrator.

I can't remember when and where I first heard about this book, but I do remember at the time I already have books about pets such as Marley and Me, Dewey, My Life with George and A Lion called Christian (Well, Christian was sort of a pet back then, when there was no law against owning exotic animals as pets). I was thinking that it would be interesting to see things from the pets' perspective.

Therefore, I decided to buy it during the Bookfest, which I'm kind of regretted now as BookXcess is currently selling it at RM 17.90. Darn...

Anyway, I've started on the first few pages. I got a feeling I'll enjoy this book a lot!

To Kill a Mockingbird

It's the 50th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

I've always wanted to read this book for quite some time, but I still have so many books yet to read and was somewhat reluctant to buy one.

The other day I found the book was included in a list by BookXcess, selling for only RM 17.90. So I thought I would go there are buy one. Unfortunately, the book was sold out!

I really hoped that the book will be available in BookXcess soon. If not, I might just buy it from the regular bookstore at a higher price.

New in town...

I've only started blogging recently, just for fun. Serious bloggers may find my blog uninteresting and lame, but then again like I said, I'm doing this just for fun. Started out using the Friendster Blog, and thought that I give this a try as well. Will update on both blogs at the same time. This should be an interesting experience... :)
