Traffic Offences

With the installation of CCTVs all over the city, our traffic offences may be caught on tape without us realising it. Have you ever wondered as to whether you have any outstanding summonses?

Well, wonder no more as our Royal Police department (PDRM, Police DiRaja Malaysia) has made it convenient for road-users to check our record. This being the Hari Raya celebration and all, they are offering a discount, though not for all offences. This is where you can check out your summonses. Good luck! (Good thing I have none.)

Memories to last a lifetime!

Mama's milk ice-cream?

Ice cream....YUM!! The above picture shows kids enjoying ordinary treats from Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream. Not sure if they'd still be enjoying the ice cream if they are made from human milk though.

That's what ice cream will be made from if PETA's advice is being heeded. PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has recommended to Ben & Jerry's to consider using human breast milk instead of cow's milk in their products. Besides health reasons given, PETA said "...it would reduce the suffering of cows and calves". And getting milk from mamas is different?! Duh!!

Well, I know that if human milk is used, I'm weaned off ice cream. Eww!!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri

Lost but Never To Be Found

The world is such an unsafe place. Just before the fasting month, a friend lost his car in a parking lot in a shopping complex. We also have highway robbery of cars where someone rams your car or let you ram into his and along comes another car to either steal your car or rob you.

The highway authorities must have got wind of some of these crooks that they have issued a list of vehicles for the public to be aware of. Their advice is for you to proceed to a police station if you are being followed by any of these vehicles:

ISWARA BIRU
Number plates
WFK 6929
WHN 8719
BWB 9325
BEB 8734
BEB 8320
BEB 8323

PROTON WIRA
Number plate
WKT 5371

It is surprising that they are using such small cars instead of more rugged vehicles. Whatever it is, these people need to be purged from society like Ephedrasil Hardcore, one that purges fat from the system. LOL!

Faucets in Feng Shui

Not everyone believe in Feng Shui. But really, there is nothing to believe or not to believe, as Feng Shui principles are in part based on practicality. We are actually practising the principles without even knowing it.

For instance, clutter in Feng Shui is discouraged as it stagnates the 'chi' or energy in a space. Even if one does not believe in Feng Shui, clutter is also discouraged in one's living or work area for practical reasons.

Another example is a leaking faucet. In Feng Shui, a leaking faucet is a sign of the inclination of wasting money or losing wealth slowly but surely. As a norm, we would get a leaking faucet fixed so that water is not wasted nor the dripping of water become disturbing which could disturb the peace.

The Art of Shopping

I was with some friends at dinner over the weekend and as always the subject of shopping came up. We all agreed that great bargains can be had if we know where to look and when. Why pay full price when you can have the same item for much less, eh? Every smart shopper knows that.

The other day, a friend was at a furniture fair looking for a king bed. The one she was eyeing came with a couch that she could have for below RM100. The fact of the matter is, Malaysia does have a surplus of furniture stores and discount furniture is everywhere. You just need the time to shop around.
