Activities from a Saturday evening

OK, I am bored today. Bored because there is a lot of things to do and bored because I don't know which one to start because there is so little time left to do them before family time kicks in. In other words, its a lazy Saturday after a very heavy lunch with my Aunt who is going back to Australia in the evening. We had to say goodbye to her instead of sending her off since the kids had swimming to go to.

Because I am not in the pool this time, Kaelynn

played around in the water.

Yes, she meant to splash me with the

water until I scolded her as I was not

in the mood

Kristine on the other hand was practising

hard. But in her class, she is easily the

weakest.

OK, lesson's over and teacher is handing out

sweets; the highlight for the day. I had to

get her to thank the teacher before going off

Normally, at this time, the Federal Highway

would be full of cars. Thanks to the World Cup,

everyone stayed away.

On the way home, we stopped by a petrol

station to get some things for tomorrow's

trip to Tanjung Sepat. And I noticed the

staff's ingeniuity in solving a leaking air-con

problem. they tied a string to 'lead' the

dripping water to a rubbish bin without

wetting the products on the shelf.

Then I saw these special cans of coffee and hot

chocolates for Rm6.30. What is so special about

this? well, its not because of the contents, that is.

And it has nothing to do with the special

top cover which was designed to allow

you to sip instead of gulping the contents

The answer, ladies and gentlemen, lies at the

bottom. Its a self heating can!

And there are some temperature indicators

on the side to tell you when the drink is OK

for well, drinking. Knowing me, it would still

be too hot and I'll scald my tongue anyway.

Since everyone bought their own stuff, I decided

to get mine too. And I got this. Looks like some

weiedo enjoying a very nice ********

But why I got it was not because of the

sweet. And also not because of the front

which can double up as a badge once you

insert a safety pin on it. Let me show you

Ahm nyum nyum nyum.....

Yam nyam nyam....

And there you have it. Once you put the transparent

cover back on, it looks like one of those Sci-Fi test

tubes or specimen vials. And, the middle part can

serve as some kind of ignitor or focusing element

when it lights up.
