Special Dedication

To the parents of William Yau Zhen Zhong :
Our deepest condolence to you on the passing of your beloved son in such tragic circumstances. We are so very sorry for your loss. Be strong for your other children.

To all other parents and guardians of children :
Never ever leave children unsupervised no matter what the situation. A split second is all it takes for those opportunists out there to grab it. One teeny weeny careless mistake might result in a life time of regrets. This is one gamble all parents and guardians should not ever think of taking. Surely, you do not want to live with "if only" for the rest of your life...........???

Call us paranoid but whenever we go out with young children, we hold on to their hands and never for a moment do we let go. Having the child or children within sight is not good enough for us. 20 meters away is still within sight but are we fast enough to cover the distance if someone were to grab the child? No, this is one risk we have no intention of taking. And, we do not assume that the child or children is with another adult when going out in a group. Sending a child alone to the washroom while eating in a restaurant or to the cutlery station to get cutlery while eating in a fast food restaurant is a big no, no for us. Nor is letting a child go alone to a stall to order food when eating in a coffee shop, hawker center or food court. Even letting a child play alone on a ride in a theme park while we go to another ride is also a big no, no. A child must always be accompanied by an adult - that's our rule.

Salted Duck (Wan Li Xiang, Ipoh)

Dad brought home a salted duck one day. Salted duck?? I have heard of and tasted salted chicken. But salted duck???? Erm....not too bad. Tastes almost like salted chicken but I still prefer salted chicken. Something about salted duck doesn't quite agree with my taste buds. Wonder what?????
Maybe it will agree with your taste buds?
Wan Li Xiang is a corner shop along Jalan Yau Tet Shin, Ipoh near Restoran Lou Wong Tauge Ayam Kuetiau.

Food For Thought (38)

Baby dumping...........why is it that it is usually ......... or is it always, the mother who is guilty? What about the father? After all, the mother didn't get pregnant all by herself .............. or did she??????

A Suggestion

My brand of punishment for the 6 ................ (feel free to fill in the blank with whatever adjective or noun that you like) who raped and killed the student in India :

Make them suffer like they made the poor girl suffer. No need to waste time and resources. After conviction, just throw them to the public and let the public deal with them. I am sure lots of people  would like to make these .................. pay for what they did, including yours truly who knows exactly what to do to these.............. so that they reeeeaaaaaallly know the meaning of the word suffer. That will really be good riddance to bad rubbish.
