Friday Frolicking again

It's Friday again. Nice! I've always loved Friday, and why not, I'm a Friday's child.

Actually what I have in mind for today's post is... a quiz. Let's do one today after all the last quiz we did on Friday Frolics is way back in March. If you haven't taken that last quiz you can go here to find out What Flavor Jelly Bean Are You? and know something about yourself that may surprise you along the way, maybe?

Today's quiz is on Color Code. It's got an interesting set of questions too - thought-provoking a little.

This quiz says my Color Code is Yellow..



Your Color Code is Yellow

You are a ton of fun, no matter what is going on in life. You feel like you were put on this planet to have a good time.

You see each moment as an adventure, and you refuse to get stuck in a rut. You are always up for doing something new.


You are a very persuasive person, but you convince with your actions - not your words. Everyone wants to be living the kind of life you live.

You have friends pretty much everywhere you go, and if not, you make new ones easily. You always prefer life as a shared experience.

Now, your turn..

Friday Frolics - What Flavor Jelly Bean Are You?

Jelly beans are not only colourful and pretty, there is just about any flavour anyone can fancy. This week's personality quiz is just about them, jelly beans.


In the quiz, pick the flavor that would taste best to you right now and see what it says about you. You have a choice of

o Pineapple

o Licorice

o Peanut butter

o Cherry

o Margarita

o Strawberry

o Caramel

o Peach

o Coconut

o Root Beer

o Popcorn

o Green Apple

o Cinnamon


I picked Green Apple and it says..



You Are a Green Apple Jelly Bean

Of all the flavors, you're the most complex and the most real. A little sweet, a little sour, and totally tangy. People can't describe you, but they love you!




Here's last week's quiz if you missed it:
The Parrot Test and Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

Also..

Friday Frolics - The Parrot Test & Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

Besides Kuala Lumpur's iconic Petronas Twin Towers, one other place I would highly recommend on your visit to Kuala Lumpur is the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. Believe me, you won't be disappointed.

The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a 20.9-acre (8.5 ha) public aviary right in the heart of the city. Located adjacent to the Lake Gardens, the Bird Park houses more than 3000 birds representing more than 200 species in an enclosed aviary. It is one of the world's largest covered bird parks. On my visit I was pleasantly surprised that it's shady inside, so no need for an umbrella, unless if it rains, of course.

For as little as RM2, I think it was, you could feed these pretty birds (parakeets, I think) and they would even gladly perch on your shoulder or your hand for a 'say cheese' photo-moment.

You can get to the Bird Park by bus or by train..(Wikipedia)

- Take the Intrakota Bus 21C, 48C (From Kota Raya).
- Take the Intrakota Bus 18, 21A (From Chow Kit).
- Take the RapidKL Bus 115 (From KL Sentral).
- KTM Komuter - disembark at the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, then walk to the park or take a taxi.

By the way, while you are there, at the Bird Park, do visit the Orchid Garden. When the flowers are in full bloom they are a sight to behold. Orchids in pots are also available for sale. The Orchid Garden is just opposite the Bird Park so don't miss it. Entrance is free.

For an extra bonus, there's also the Hibiscus Garden inside the Orchid Garden. The last time I was there they had Segways for rent so you could tour the garden without too much walking if you are game enough to take on that machine.

And now for our Friday Frolic, in line with our discussion on birds, let's take a Parrot Test this week shall we?

Happy Friday, everyone!


You Are Calm

You're the type of person who simply enjoys life. You don't worry about anything - including whether you have food on your face.

You believe that there is a time for everything, and you take the good with the bad. You are very philosophical.


While you have a lot of inner peace, you still feel very deeply. You are just good at acknowledging your emotions and letting them go.

You are a strong individual, but you can blend in when you need to. You have amazing camouflage.


Your turn.. take
The Parrot Test

The Summer Road Trip Test - Last Week's quiz

Friday Frolics - The Summer Road Trip Test

Before you know it summer is here. But of course here in Malaysia summer is all year round. The sun shines throughout the year which makes Malaysia one of the world's best places to retire... but that's for another day.

This week's quiz is about summer road trip. Just pick an image relating to summer road trip to reveal what it says about you whether

- You Are Ambitious
- You Are Relaxed
- You Are Adventurous
- You Are Cosmopolitan
- You Are Low Key
- You Are Brainy

It says I am Low Key.

Happy Friday, you!



You Are Low Key

For you, vacation is all about having a great time without a lot of effort or planning.

You prefer to spend as much time as you can in a nice spot, focusing on nature, family, friends, and maybe even a little reading.



Of all the types, you are the most likely to want to get away to unplug. A trip is a chance to live a bit more simply.

That's not to say you won't do anything on your vacation. You're happy to participate in almost any activity, as long as it's not too much fuss!

Here's the quiz, try it..


What you missed last week.

Friday Frolics - What Does Your Pizza Say About You?

Ah, it's Friday again!

There was a mini chain-store that I went to the other day and had a great time filling the shopping basket with stuff that satisfied the 'want' urge as opposed to the 'need' criteria when it comes to shopping. You get the drift. Hey, they were value for money, I thought. The chain was closing down so everything was on half-price. That explains?

Talking about value for money, this week's quiz is something like that. You just need to answer a few easy questions and voila you get a reading that pours out lots to say about you - though some may not match who you are. But still... Check out the quiz for yourself. Enjoy!

Have yourself a wonderful Friday too!



Your Pizza Says You Aren't a Picky Eater

You eat like a European. A little bit of everything, but too much. You stay svelt through portion control.



You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US.



Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you.



You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices.



You are fun and imaginative. You should consider traveling to Brazil.



The stereotype that best fits you is emo. You think you're special... and you kind of are.

Last Week's What Side of Your Brain is Dominant?

Friday, February 26, 2016

Friday Frolics - What Side of Your Brain is Dominant?

We all know there are two sides to our brain, the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere.

There's the distinctive analytic and verbal style of thinking associated with the logical left hemisphere of the brain, and a more holistic, creative style associated with the right, it is generally believed. No, this is not a science lesson. You can read up more about it online, if you are interested.

However, this is Friday Frolics so we shall frolick with a personality quiz today, and this week we find out as to which side of our brain is more dominant.

For this writer..


The Right Side of Your Brain is Dominant

You have an active imagination and intuition. You have a very fluid way of thinking.

You don't put bounds or limitations on your thoughts. You are a down to earth daydreamer.



You have a broad perspective on the world. You may be a bit chaotic, but you never get stuck in a rut.

You are always able to pick up where you left off or start in the middle with something. You are a non-linear thinker.


Last Week's Quiz: The Shoe Personality Test


Friday, February 19, 2016

Friday Frolics - The Shoe Personality Test

Today is the 12th day of the new lunar year and yes, today is still part of the Spring Festival as celebrated by the Chinese community all over the world.

Spring Festival is celebrated for 15 days, from Day 1 which was on February 8 until the 15th day which will fall on Monday, February 22.

For this Friday Frolics, I have picked one relating to Shoes. Let me tell you something with reference to shoes this time of the year.

Buying shoes during Chinese New Year (any of the 15 days) is a no-no. The Chinese observe some do's and don'ts during this time of the year and buying shoes is one of the don'ts. Some still observe this, yours truly included. It is believed that buying shoes this time of the year will result in a coming year of sighs and challenges. I figured better to be safe than sorry.

And now the quiz..


You Are Clogs

You are a solid and down to earth person.

You seek – and almost always achieve – a really sound balance in your life.



You are stylish yet comfortable. Mellow but driven. Excited yet calm.

You are the perfect mesh of contradictions.



No matter what happens, you have the ability to stay well grounded in your life.

People know that they can truly depend on you.



You should live: In Europe



You should work: At a company dedicated to helping the world

Today is the Fifth Day of the new lunar year. Learn about the significance of the Fifth Day of the new year.

Although many people are still in their hometown celebrating the holiday, many are back at work today.

Fret not, Monday is also a good day unless if you were born in the Rooster year.

Now let's get back to the order of the day, Friday frolicking.

Love pancakes? Great! Here's a personality quiz on pancakes for you.

The pancake image I have chosen says..

You are naturally trusting and at ease with the world around you. You expect the best from others and usually get it.



You are quite patient and compassionate. You are generous with second chances and giving people the benefit of the doubt.

You are good-natured and a genuinely optimistic person. You are as nice as you seem.



Have You Taken The Road Trip Test?


Friday, February 5, 2016

Friday Frolics - The Road Trip Test

The real human migration here in Malaysia would probably begin tomorrow (Saturday) as people will start making the journey back to their hometown in anticipation of the long 4-day weekend ahead.

This holiday is the Chinese New Year which begins on Monday, February 8. This is a 2-day gazetted holiday so all schools, government departments and offices will be closed. But don't worry if you are here on a holiday because shopping malls and shopping complexes are all open, so are restaurants. While you are here, do enjoy the decorations and the air of festivity.

For today's Personality Quiz, what's more appropriate than taking a quiz regarding The Road Trip. This will be the last quiz for the year of the Goat and we'll see you again in the new year of the Fire Monkey!

Happy Holiday!

Find the Hidden Panda - Clue

So did you manage to find Mr Panda? No? As promised, here is the clue.

Look at the noses.

Happy looking.. (Let me know when you do find it.)

Friday Frolics - Find the Hidden Panda

It is another hot day here in Kuala Lumpur. The weatherman at Google recorded a temperature of 30deg C or 86deg F as at 10 this morning. See, no bluffing, one!


But then again, the weather is usually like this - so hot, and dry, and windy - during this time of the year, i.e, around Chinese New Year, which if you are counting is just nine days away. Hurray!

If you find the heat quite unbearable, do like what many people do, go out to the mall - where the aircon is good and the shopping even gooder (read better). The heat is too much outside for you to venture out? Ok, never mind, stay in and see if this week's Personality Quiz would cool you down somewhat it being a Winter scene and all.

Here's a snow-field of our favourite character in Winter. But wait, there's an 'odd man' out there among them. See if you can spot him ('her' is nursing their new-born cub at the Zoo). See if you can spot another black-and-white cutie among the snowmen He is Mr Panda. Ssshh, if you have already played this, don't spill the beans.

Clue? Come back on Monday and I'll tell you. Happy looking!

Friday Frolics - What Planet Are You From?


If you are someone who finds joy in looking at the sky, you are in for a rare celestial treat.

Malaysians, as well as with most parts of the world, are in for this treat as the five planets of Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury align in a rare astronomical event from last night until the end of February.


This rare alignment will be visible simultaneously before dawn during this period. The best display of this phenomenon is expected to be on Jan 27 when the Moon comes into alignment with the five and Jupiter and Venus will shine the brightest.

A senior lecturer at the National University of Singapore’s Department of Physics, Dr Cindy Ng told TODAY that four planets, with the exception of Mercury, had already been visible for several days.

Mercury, she said, has just become visible, having moved far enough from the Sun.

“Usually, we see the five planets in the night sky at different times of the night. It is thus a special event to observe all five planets in the night sky at one time,” she was quoted as saying.

Those who wish to see this rare event can begin their watch just after 8pm tonight (12.50pm GMT).
