A Blast from the Past....

Well, days just flew by...sometimes slowly...at times very fast! Depends on what is happening. Yup, today is already the 27th of March. Another month soon coming to an end.

Yup, many events have taken place in our country. The political scene. Both good & bad. If you have been following the news, you should know what I'm talking about...the latest being the impasse in Trengganu - the MB "fiasco"? Feel we should know the next chapter by this evening. And hopefully, the powers that be knows what is the right thing to do...for the sake of Peace & Harmony in the country we all call "Home".

As for lil ole me, the latest was a trip me made to Penang. Again? Yup, where else can I go? First stop was Queensbay Mall cos my other half said she hadn't gone there for quite a while. Had lunch there, too. And as usual, we didn't leave Qbay empty-handed. 1 interesting item added to our array of gadgets is a Fridge Thermometer. A "Made in Germany" item @ RM9.90 ... considering most foreign items are now no longer made in their home country but "Made in China"!!

Update: On putting the thermometer in our fridge overnight (recommended to do so for 24 hrs to get a reliable reading), it was found that the temperature was just below max of recommended limit of 5 deg Celcius, namely 4 deg C. On Googling, it was found a temp of between 1 to 3 deg C would be BEST. So me had already turned the temp ctrl knob down slightly, with hope it would bring the temp down to 3 deg C.

Anyway, it is felt a 2nd unit to put into the Freezer compartment of the Fridge would enable checking of the temperature there at any time. Maybe on our next visit to Qbay?

F1 GP fever was highest last weekend with the 2nd F1 race being held in Sepang at Kuala Lumpur. And that fever somehow passed over to the inmates of Lot 10...esp this old man! Ha ha! So me had visited Shell Petrol Stations for my ole junk's refills. Got me a couple of Red Ferarri cars...models...with real lifelike engine sounds...for RM5.90 each...with a refill each time of at least RM40 of Shell V-Power fuel. Could not, however, buy those popular ones...appears to be sold out everywhere! Below is pic of my acquisitions.

There are 7 different models altogether. Maybe me try to get them...in due course? Chances are slim tho, with the popular ones unobtainable as it is. Not matter though. Really not that crazy lo...hehe...

Guess we are still awaiting Tesco AS Branch to be operative. Made a round trip to chk on its construction progress. But feel what I saw, did not warrant a pictorial update. Banners had been put up calling for job interviews. We will see...

Since Kedah falling into hands of the Islamic opposition party, namely PAS, ppl in Kedah esp the non-muslims, have been waiting to see what good or bad would come out of it. And most are hoping that Kedah would not follow in the footsteps of Kelantan. If it does, me kinda got feeling, PAS would lose control of Kedah in the next elections. Only time will tell...

Guess that's about it for now...Enjoy the moment!
