Famous People named Surin

When my daughter was fully into the Mickey Mouse Club house shows, she would sing Princess Minnie-Rella, that's me.

I did not know my daughter was mimicking the song. I thought she was referring to herself as a Princess. After all her name is Nastaha Ameera, meaning Princess Ameera in Arabic.

Great way to exhibit fresh produce

During a recent outing at Gamuda Walk, we went grocery shopping at Aeon Max Value.

I was taken back by the visually stunning and vibrant way that this grocer exhibited their produce.

Needless to say we purchased  the vegetables without thinking twice.

It doesn't get any more fresher than this

Can you beat that

All of us have fantasy's of waking up in the morning, scratching our crotch whilst sipping a good cup of mocha, gazing at our dream cars parked in our home porch.

It could be a Pagani Zonda, F40, Enzo, Murcielago, 911 and the list goes on and on.

The reality is I have to gaze my Volvo S60 T5, minus sipping my mocha and scratching my crotch. Its usually drinking H2o (water) and scratching my head.

I recently got an email from a friend of such a dream car parked at porch. 

I am sharing the picture with readers.

All I can say is that, Can you beat that???

 

My Pride Gallery

In my previous blog, I had mentioned that I had purchase some products from My Pride Gallery.

I would like to share with readers some basic information on My Pride.

My Pride means "Kebanggaanku" or literally means "My" "Pride".

The word comprises of:-

My   Malaysia

Pri    Prison

De    Department

The symbolic meaning for My Pride is, "Jabatanku Kebanggaanku" My Department My Pride.

My Pride's sells products made by prisoners. It is one way for the prison department to provide the prisoners with the required skills, making them self sustaining and independent upon their release.

The official logo is a "Bunga Raya" leaf which illustrates wood carving and batik. "Bunga Raya" is the official flower of Malaysia.

The 3 leaf reflects the aspiration of the rehabilitation system through its plan to develop its prisoners via 3 components, attitude, skill and knowledge.

The logo also reflects a key component of the Malaysian Prison Department to diligently carrying out its function by ensuring the safety of its residents during detention, rehabilitate and free them upon expiry of their prison sentence.

The logo is also exquisite as a tie clip, broach or hair pin as an added fashion accessory

Kuari Bukit Berkelah

If one happens to travel to Bukit Berkelah Kuantan, you will inadvertently pass along this Rock Kuari. Speaking to one of the workers, the rock kuari belongs to a Chinese Dato and the land belongs to a Malay chap. 

Just sharing pictures of what goes on in a rock kuari

Star Wars IG-88

Eat your hearts out Star Wars fans.

When Kenner Star Wars toys were newly released when I was a kid, my beloved grandmother purchased this for my sister.

Over the years we grew detached with all our Star Wars toys and I passed them to my cousin, Dr. Devan Arumugam whilst he was growing up.

Now, years later when I am much older no no wiser, I am looking back for those old Kenner toys.

I managed to get my hands on this IG-88 newer version made of its re-release. Even the packaging was made to commemorate the old unit.

The difference is to the toy itself. This bounty hunter is in much more glorious detail
