Back in the younger days, the 2 biggest heroes for me and my siblings were Kamalahasan and Rajinikanth but for our parents, it was MGR and Sivaji Ganesan. Image Source: http://digitalimagemakerworld.com/

It is interesting on how sometimes we missed looking at Malaysia until someone from outside talks about it. The same was when you see parts of Malaysia shown in some Bollywood song scene and then you realise that the places that you watched is the same place you pass by everyday to work.
Malaysia 101: Some Citizenship Basics You Must Know
If you had missed it last week, Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA) got themselves in trouble when “they” displayed the wrong Malaysian flag on during basketball competition. I say they because MABA blamed their IT consultant. Image source: https://mothership.sg
Seriously one cannot comprehend how one can make such a basic mistake when it comes to the national flag?

Smartphone 101: Look at the Traffic, Not your Dumb Phone
Sometimes I wish that they build a smartphone app that will cause it not to work when one is walking or driving or having a meal with friends or when waiting for the lift – the smartphone distraction can be lethal! Image source: www.saent.com

Favourite Hindi Song 101: Aao Na by Shankar Ehsaan Loy 2004
I am seriously hooked up with Aao Na from the Hindi movie Kyun! Ho Gaya Na (2004) – I heard the movie bombed in the box office but the soundtrack is classic especially for me, this one particular song. In fact it is running on a non-stop loop on my Hindi playlist even as I am drafting this post. Image source: www.bollywoodhungama.com

Blogging 101: Which is Better – Frequent Short Post or Infrequent Long Post?
Ever since I moved to my own site, I have been trying to be “more consistent” with my post of contents. Image source: elitecopywriter.com
In a way, it is a good thing because I am forced to be on my toe to look out for contents for the blog – fortunately there is no lack of source for the content, from current news, photos, my dreams and travels.

Tamil Movie Review: Kaithi – Probably the Best Tamil Movie of 2019
(Kaithi is one of the best Tamil action movies for 2019 with a very solid storyline, background music and acting. Image source: IMDB)
It is not often I am ready to spend money to watch Tamil movies in the cinema and it is for obvious reasons – loose & illogical storyline, some of dumbest heroines and out of place song sequences. It is very rare to see a really good Tamil movie these days.
Some of the Tamil movies that I have tolerated and paid to watch it in the local cinemas remain rare and few – Bahubali: The Conclusion (this is because we were dying to know why Kattappa backstabbed Bahubali) and Petta (this is because it was directed by the brilliant Karthik Subbaraj) was good to watch.

Economy 101: Bailout of RM10.3 Billion: Where is Your Dignity Now?
Whenever the Government announces huge bailouts, 2 things are certain on everyone’s mind:-
ONE: It does not matter if it is cash, guarantee or promises on paper, one way or another, at the end of the day, taxpayers will be forced to bear the cost of the bailout. Taxpayers money that could have been used more productively for development of the country now goes down the drain.
TWO: Not all of the board of directors, management and senior officers who mismanaged the company will be arrested, stripped naked of their assets and sent to jail for years. At the most, some of them may be asked to tender their resignation without any punishment and some of them will be transferred to another GLC. And since there is no severe punishment given, the incompetence and mismanagement continues.

Technology 101: Cashless Touch ‘n’ Go – Outdated and Must Go?
Do you still remember the time before Touch ‘n’ Go was widely used for public transportation, parking and highway tolls? Image source: Compare Hero.my
I still remember the days when I had to queue up at the bus companies’ counters to get my bus passes –sometimes more than one, depending on the year. KL, Klang & Port Klang Omnibus and SJ Kenderaan had their own dedicated counter for the bus passes – different colours for adults and school children (which is half of the price of the adult total fares). Toong Foong one was a bit different – you have got it from their office which was located near Puduraya where it is usually packed with bus conductors also queuing up to get their stacks of new bus tickets.

Trip to Cape Verde 2019: Shocking Arrest By Immigration & Missing Bags
The flight from KL to Cape Verde was eventful with the scariest part – the pilot reporting that the plane has an engine problem and the plane making 180 degrees back to Lisbon. Image: Wrap done on luggage
After 2 months in Cape Verde and gotten busy with work, we soon forgotten about this and we were looking forward very much on the trip back home, back to tanahair, back to family and back to all that glorious Malaysian food.

Delicious Food in Cape Verde – Part 5 (Western)
Read these first:-
- Delicious Food in Cape Verde – Part 1 (Breakfast)
- Delicious Food in Cape Verde – Part 2 (Lunch)
- Delicious Food in Cape Verde – Part 3 (Gravy)
- Delicious Food in Cape Verde – Part 4 (Dinner)
This will be the last in the Cape Verde food series (next Cape Verde post will be on return to KL which was also eventful and first time held by Immigration – stay tuned)
When we are in Malaysia, we eat rice most of the time for lunch and dinner. Noodles are usually reserved for breakfast – from fried noodles, wanton noodles, curry noodles and fish ball noodles.
In Cape Verde, there was no noodles in the food menu but they had the closest thing to noodles which was spaghetti.
