Holiday and Brain Freeze

It's school hols and it's also a season of brain freeze. One of those times when ideas and thoughts are zooming past but 'tangkap' nothing ...

Now that Michael Phelps is done with his fantastic feat...it's Usain Bolt and his bolting around the track. Would be interesting to watch him run his 200m. A little island in the Caribbean can produce so many world class sprinters.

A population of under 3 million people with 2 golds and 2 silvers so far...and the figure is set to rise still. We have 25 million people...and 1 silver to show. Aiyo! We had dinner together with Ah Ho and George on that night at their place - hoping to see an action-packed game between Super Dan and Chong Wei. No go...by the time we were done with our makan, the game was almost done! But food as usual was superb. She cooked Japanese this time!

Mushroom and prawns...Yummylicious! Especially the mushroom!

Simple and delicious...

Chicken in Teriyaki sauce.

No Japanese meal is complete without this! 8)

Anyway back to my little world... Boy! When life slows down somewhat .... everything follows suit.

But holiday does not mean a break from the mundane... in fact it magnifies it.. marketing, clearing the house, catching up with Lil Rainbow's lessons (not getting very far with it and the hols is coming to an end already) etc... I'd rather go to work. This morning I had to spend quite a bit of time 'unclogging' my sink. It was a messy job! At home, I become the maid...at work, at least I don't have to do such things.

Pictures at the market taken from the height of a 7 year old kiddo. 8) Hols is also a time where I get taken to the market, Nancy takes me ... and I get to take Lil Rainbow along. LOL!

That's as high as she can go! That's her eye level!

The food stalls by the side. But like most Malaysian markets, you have to contend with the smell. So it kinda puts you off where the food is concerned! But most people don't mind. High time they upgrade this place!

Got a Kodak EasyShare M853 at the Pikom Fair for the kids to bring around and snap whatever catches their eyes.

Education in doldrums... An already broken education system given a really hard whack by Covid-19.  I used to read about pandemics, that a b...
