What a sheep!

 Could not believe my eyes when I see this picture photographed by Andres Beregovich for National Geographic Your Shot.  He was wandering through Isla Riesco (now where is this place?) when he bumped into this forgotten ranch.  He asked whether he could photograph some of the processes and could not believe the size of this sheep when he first saw it.  He almost couldn't take the picture because he was so impressed by this 140 kg sheep (about 300 lbs)!  - from 10 fascinating photos from around the globe.  Sekali tengok macam seekor beruang besar ...kalau buat korban ni nok boleh muat duo kawoh besar hehe..

Another awesome photo entered in the same category as above...a photo by Graham McGeorge.

 As captioned by the photographer, this is an Eastern Screech Owl that likes to take over woodpecker nests that have been dug out over the years in pine trees.  MashaAllah.. a truly awesome camouflage!

Captain T In Town

Petang kemarin selepas shopping sikit-sikit di Tesco KB saja-saja pusing kereta ke arah Sungai Kelantan yang berhampiran untuk tengok restoran bentuk kapal yang lokasinya betul-betul di tepi sungai tersebut.  Sudah beroperasi rupanya, semasa tinjau bulan Februari lalu tak siap lagi. Ada dua restoran kapal, satu kapal atas darat dan satu kapal lagi atas sungai.  

Bulan Februari lalu belum berpenghuni lagi...

Ini restoran atas sungai yang belum siap 

Up-to-date pic of the restaurant below

If you want to eat on this floating restaurant you must be in a group of 5 or more as explained by the friendly waitress.  Sebabnya kalau kurang dari 5 orang kemungkinan pelayan-pelayan restoran ni tidak  perasan  ada pelanggan yang turun ke sini untuk makan.

Orang tak ada so tak seganlah dua beradik ni berposing (bulan Feb. dulu)

Rupa taman itu sekarang...

A waitress giving hubby some information about the restaurant... hubby tanya  siapa taukenya...dia tunjuk ke arah seorang lelaki Cina berseluar pendek yang sedang duduk bersantai di tepi restoran.  Asal Pulau Pinang dan pernah jadi pemandu lori tapi sekarang sudah menjadi jutawan dan memiliki beberapa buah kapal kargo.    Kemungkinanlah idea si pemilik ni membuat konsep restoran berbentuk kapal kerana dia memiliki kapal dan pembinaan restoran  ini berserta dengan lanskap menelan belanja RM4 juta lebih.

Nice and pleasant once in a while to have a meal by the riverside....

Alahai apa yang tak kena ni...gambar menu pun dah terbalik lah pulok!  Minta tengok menu, saja nak check harga makanan di sini...mewah jugok weh.  Saranan dari pelayan yang berbudi bahasa  tu...baik datang ramai-ramai dan pandai-pandailah pilih apa yang hendak makan baru tak terasa sangat regonya...so Teh, Dini, Azha ...let's cekidaut Captain T asp :)  

Before that at Tesco parking area....

Hok dungu manolah letok trolley di parking bay ni...tak dok 'civic' lasung!

The Colossus and Happy Mother's Day!

The Colossus...sounds like something from Greece and the word is of course Greek to me.  'Behemoth, goliath, monster, giant is  the definition of the word in The Free Dictionary.  Well, of course this Colossus is kind of huge in size and I am meaning this Colossus  below...

In simple terms its Crossword and I am addicted to doing crossword since I was young, it gives a certain kind of satisfaction in finding the solution either across or down it.  This colossus crossword is in the AWW..

  Real pricey now when it used to cost $3.00 (not RM and not USD too) in the Seventies.  I never fail to get a copy of it every month even though the newest issue will only be in my possession over a month or two late.  I got a puzzled look from Dini my eldest girl, when I asked her to supply me with this magazine every month from her office's news vendor (her office is in PJ).  She was a bit puzzled because I need that magazine just for this crossword.  Well,  for one it is difficult to find a copy here in KB...you might find a copy or two in one of the major bookstores here and that's all and often I was too late to grab a copy.  Secondly I need to get my fix of this Colossus crossword every month.....huhu.  


Its Mother's Day today and another MHC to add to my collection.  A gift from Dini for Mother's Day...

and this morning Ain skipped into my room singing...'Happy Mother's Day Mama' and handed me the box above...entah apa mimpinya cos dah lama tak terima apa-apa present untuk mother's day.  Al-Fatihah to Arwoh Mok, the greatest Mak ever!  Happy Mother's Day to all Mummy, Mama, Mak, Ummi, Che, Wan everywhere :)

Its that time of the year again

 

 Leganya jadi rakyat Malaysia....Syukur Alhamdulillah!
