Bananas are an excellent source of potassium!

so it's been a bit more than 2 weeks since ive returned home...and ive watched the simpsons movie again...twice...hehehe...

at first glance...it might seem that i havent been doing anything....but i dunno...life feels busy...hahaha...maybe im imagining it all to feel good about slacking...but eitherway...i have been running quite a bit of miscellaneous errands...going to pasar on weekends...u know, with chinese new year coming..it gets kinda busy there...

what's the price like u ask??

ikan bawal cepak/tambak (tao tui/dou chang) ranges from 45 ringgit seekor (NOT per kg) for those near half a kg in weight...to about 130 ringgit seekor for those huge ones...ang ka tua he (udang kaki merah)...the super huge ones are 80 ringgit per kg...ikan bawal putih (bai chang) is about 75 ringgit per kg for the huge ones (about 4-5 of em per kg)...

yes yes...they are expensive...u can argue that they used to be so and so..but like what my brother argues back, "dulu polis pun pakai seluar pendek"...

BUT...these are all local stuff from pontian waters...people who eat fish knows these are the best places to get them...sure...u can get cheap ones imported but are they as nice? for chinese new year...for steaming purposes...for the big dinner or any meals...surely, only the best should be served =) it's worth every penny i tell ya...

i have been following my bro to gelang patah to go pick up prawns to be sold at our place...one day we had to wait for a long time for the dealer to arrive..so we decided to go on a lil journey to the end of the kampung (very deep into the kampung)...all the way to where the sea is...since it is a bit too far...ive decided to turn on gps to see if there's a short cut...and THERE IS! so we followed it...and got to our destination much faster than usual...

so ive decided..if i own a gps company...i will use the tagline "Travel Like A Local" ...(hehehe...copyrighted ok)...coz really, only locals would know that short cut...

anyway...i start work at public bank johor bahru head office on the 17th of march...it was supposed to be 18th of feb...but i have to undergo surgery on the 13th of feb to remove the metal plate in my left ankle (which got inserted 3 years ago when i broke my leg)...and i would need 1 month to get off the crutches...meaning...1 month will be spent walking with crutches...crap...

that is all from me then...u all out there take care!
