Good luck to him. Hehe.

Double Standards
Shark Fin Soup Is London’s Most Expensive Soup
Recently a Shark Fin soup in London made it into the Guiness Book of World Records for being the most expensive shark fin soup in the world at RM712.00 (US$192.00).
If this record was set here in Malaysia, or at any other developing country, the western world would have cried foul.
Brittania still rules the waves I guess….sigh…

Warning: Do not kiss your Thai transvestite hooker on the mouth
Powered by CDNN – CYBER DIVER News Network
BANGKOK, Thailand (15 Nov 2005) — Thai transvestites are often pretty enough to fool tourists and expatriates into taking them home for the night, but the unwary foreign visitor risks losing his wallet as well as his pride, Thai police warned Monday.
Members of a transvestite gang have confessed to concealing strong sedative pills under their tongues and spitting them down the throats of their victims while kissing, causing them to pass out so they can be easily robbed, police said.
The confession came from three attractive transvestites arrested last week in Bangkok for stealing more than $7,300 in cash and valuables from a Bangladeshi businessman, said police Lt. Col. Akachai Chaicharoen.
The transvestites, fashionably dressed for a night out on the town, approached their victim in a downtown Bangkok nightclub on Nov. 7 and he invited them all back to his apartment.
The victim told police that after they arrived there he kissed one of them, then felt dizzy and passed out, and woke up ten hours later to find that his cash, watch, mobile phone and notebook computer had disappeared.
“One of the suspects confessed to investigators that she concealed a tranquilizer tablet under her tongue and spat it into the mouth of her victim while they were kissing deeply. The victim quickly passed out,” Akachai said.
He said the three had confessed to employing such methods on several victims.
Because tourists have sometimes been drugged and robbed by friendly strangers, police have long warned tourists against accepting food or drink from people they don’t know.
“But now we are adding one more warning for tourists: don’t rush to kiss a stranger on the mouth or you will end up in a deep sleep,” Akachai said.
Several years ago, members of another transvestite gang in the eastern seaside resort city of Pattaya admitted they applied strong tranquilizers to their nipples in order to drug and then steal from unsuspecting men.
The latest suspects are being held pending formal charges, and could face up to six years in jail each for conspiracy to rob, police said.
Tonsilitis
Two days ago I felt this dry, tight sensation in my throat..so now I’m on antibiotics, cough syrup and antihistamine.
And tomorrow I’ll be going off to Jarak tomorrow evening.
Upgrading yourself

Thanks Wandaland!
Traditionally yours…
My serunai is finally ready. It was crafted by Pak Ibrahim (Mr Ibrahim Senik), who is a serunai player/instructor, and instructs at the National Arts Academy/Akademi Seni Kebangsaan.
Pak Ibrahim is one of the people who will fade away if no serious step is taken to preserve traditional arts. So I, being a fan of the traditional malay art of Wayang Kulit (or Shadow Play), am now learning the art of the serunai. I have also begun to learn the art of Wayang Kulit Siam itself as a puppeteer, under the auspices of Pak Nasir, a UN-recognised Tok Dalang, or Master Puppeteer, who also instructs at the Academy. I have performed with them at Batu Arang where I played the canang, or mini-gongs, that has the role of a “tempo-keeper.” Traditionally, Wayang Kulit Siam is inherently Kelantanese. Its Kedah counterpart is the Wayang Kulit Gedek (another dying art) of where its two main characters, Ai-Tong and Ai-Keng are famous. Wayang Kulit Gedek is now only being performed by the Wayang Kulit Sri Asun troupe under the auspices of Mohamad Noh bin Hj Mahmud (a.k.a Pak Noh).
So what is a serunai?
The serunai is a reed wind instrument. The instrument is hand-carved, and is usually highly ornamented with intricate detailing and painting. Much like western reed instruments, the serunai is made in varying lengths which affect its register. In western musical terminology, these might be called “soprano,” “tenor,” or “alto.” In Malay, the instrument is referred to as anak (i.e. small or child), or ibu (i.e. large or parent). The design of the serunai reed is similar to that used in the bassoon or English horn. The serunai is played using a technique known a “circle breathing” or “cycle breathing.” In this technique air is drawn in through the nose as it is simultaneously blown through the instrument. The resulting sound is constant note or drone.
And I am neither a Kelantanese, nor a Kedahan.
Jarak Part Sept
Hmm…no change in the weather. In fact everyday through Monday the 21st, it’s going to be like this: Morning-fair, Afternoon-scattered thunderstorms, Night-fair.
I checked Weather Underground to cross-check, the nearest weather data town of Sitiawan is right now experiencing Light Rain. Forecast for this town for the weekend is Thunderstorms.
How nice. Just don’t spoil the viz.
