Observations from Malaysia on the world around. Thursday, February 13, 2014. Getting Rid of Mosquitoes. Seems that the recent hot spell has caused mosquitoes to appear in large numbers. This went on for a few nights. Each time, I go to sleep, they will start attacking me. The bites will appear as lumps on my hands and legs. Those lumps were both painful and itchy. The swatter works great but only if you seek out all the mosquitoes in the room before going to sleep. Later my father found some natural repe...

Observations from Malaysia on the world around. Wednesday, March 26, 2014. On the way to our hotel, the driver told us that they were still not satisfied with their performance and are working on improving the number of flights they can handle. There are two runways at the airport - one for landing and one for takeoff. The one thing that Singapore shares with other big cities in the world is the traffic jam. Even though it is costly to own a car in Singapore there are still a lot of them on the road.

Observations from Malaysia on the world around. Sunday, December 29, 2013. The Cathedral in Penang finally allowed girls to serve as Altar Girls. This is the first time I have actually seen this happen. I do not know if this is a common practice so I did a search and found that it is not common. It is strange that at age of equality between the sexes, we still see many areas where only male or female are allowed. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Papa John, I Tried but You Disappoint.

Observations from Malaysia on the world around. Sunday, March 15, 2015. I would like to recognize two exemplary customers service I received this week. The second person was the Telekom’s technician who came to my house to fix my Streamyx connection. I have been complaining about the service quality in my house for more than two months and have submitted more than six reports. The earlier technician placed the blame on my modem and each report was closed with problem resolved. Subscribe to: Posts ( Atom ).

Observations from Malaysia on the world around. Monday, August 31, 2015. Essential Skill - Swimming. I learn to swim after I entered college. It seems strange that someone who lives on an island does not learn to swim but I believe many people who live in Penang island all their live still do not know how to swim. Swimming is a survival skill, you never know when you need the skill! Sunday, August 23, 2015. Review: Hitman: Agent 47. Disclaimer: I was not paid to write this review. I went to this movie wi...

Observations from Malaysia on the world around. Monday, October 6, 2014. Android Phone Mobile Data Leak. I recently noticed that my android phone was incurring data charges (while I was not on data plan). Initially, I thought it might be due to a virus, rogue app or some setting I may have accidentally activated. I was unable to confirm my finding earlier (because of the mobile data subscription) but its been one week since my data subscription ended and I have not seen any strange mobile data usage.
