Ying and Niq’s Niche

I am writing this post as I sit on a see-saw outside Gabriel’s kindy. Watching him play happily with his friends, a feeling of sadness came upon me. I grew a certain fondness after two years. Will he miss his friends and teachers? He will probably not. But then again I am underestimating his emotional quotient. He tends to be quite emotional at times. Will he feel sad and confused? I hope and pray that he adapts well in his new kindy. The more confused one would probably be me. It was a difficult decision to make but we thought it was better for Gabriel.

Sat, 11-Jul-09. Met up with Ying’s family at Taiping. Our favorite rendezvous spot is at Ah Eng Curry Mee shop. Now it is tricky getting to this place as the shop doesn’t have a sign board. Customers are regulars. This shop is popular for dry curry mee which cost less than RM3.00 a bowl. They also serve ‘hong tau sar’ or red bean soup. Go and try if you are near Kamunting. You don’t have to go all the way to Kuala Sepetang for the famous curry mee. GPS Coordinates: N04º53.452′ E100º44.015′.

Sat, 6-Jun-09. We went to the National Horse Show at Penang Turf Club. There were many activities lined up. For the equestrian enthusiasts, the competition was on. We briefly watched the dressage event.

Dressage Event

You could take a poney ride, or go on a horse carriage. There was a breed display - different breeds of horses including a donkey. Visitors could also see how a horse shoe is being made. The furnace is really hot! To set the carnival atmosphere, the organizers brought in clowns and included band performances.

Good fun for the family!

My car will turn 1 year old 24-Jun-09. So far it has clocked more than 23000km. I’ve switched to semi-synthetic engine oil for the last 2 services. My grey horse has served me well so far. It carried 6 adults and 1 child to Koh Samui and back safely. I pump my front tyres to 36psi and 39psi for the back. This gave a pretty comfortable ride.
