Beijing

I was in Beijing in June 2006 during the school holidays. This China trip was organized by my school co-curriculum senior assistant. He had his gang of golf buddies in this trip. My afternoon supervisor and I joined them. It was a halal China trip and I was the only Chinese with them.

When I reached Beijing, I realized that the Chinese loved to cycle..


to work..


for leisure..


and even shopping.


They even got to read the news from the news bulletin board in public.


Not only cycling, they loved to walk too..


Very interesting and healthy lifestyle!

    Like Sibu in the 50s and 60s... Bicycle town and the pedestrians ruled the road - cars must give way to them.

    Cars should only be used for intercity routes - so that no more jams and helps to fight pollution too!

    cycling is not only the cheapest mode of transportation, it does little impact on the environment as no fuel is required other than your muscles.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
