Why some people cannot be dog whisperers...

Normally, when someone says, 'Sit' to a dog, I cannot help associating it with a Hakka word which sounds the same, but means 'eat'.

But if the dog is hard of hearing or your pronunciation leaves much to be desired...

Sometimes, it is hard being a male dog...

We used to tell this story of how male dogs need to lift up one hind leg to pee. To repeat, many many years ago, a male dog was knocked down by a collapsing wall. So, by evolution, his descendants got this habit of raising a hind leg for just in case the tree or fire hydrant or whatever suits them for peeing, falls on them.

Well informed opinions suggest the reason for peeing all over the place is to mark their territories. Other dogs will smell and they seem to know if the pee came from a fierce dog. Every time my wife's car arrived home, the two dogs will smell the wheels. The way they did that, I wonder how much information they get out of the smell, as they go round the four wheels.

Looking at the following cartoon, this dog's pecker got pecked by an angry woodpecker!

It is hard to be a cockerel...

yes, the male version of a hen, commonly known as chickens.

Near our house, there are two house owners who rear chickens, especially 'yim kai' or castrated chickens which can fetch Rm40 a kg. ie. Rm200 for one weighing 5 kg.! Some people said they would rather eat something else, but the demand exceeds supply which accounted for the increasing price. A rich lady when given one, told my wife that this one is sitting next to me to KL!

No, we don't rear them at home, yes, we have to put up with the crowing at all hours. Friends calling me at home, used to comment why your cocks crow at this hour? I told them, they have been castrated and I think that affected them mentally too. I used to joke that fortunately we are not those who would like to claim to live in classy areas... just imagine you give people the impression and then the crowing starts... and the ambience sounds like animal farm and rural rather than say, 'gated community'? At a guess, I think this cockerel could be a castrated one:

Making fun of our multi-racial problems...

by attacking a Chinese-based political party, sung by an Indian - the ever popular Why MCA? (though I have heard of it many times before, I have just heard it for the first time!). I suppose it is still relevant with the current problems within MCA.

Just got back from KL, after our cheap claypot chicken rice dinner in Kampar. A small pot for two, a bowl of vegetable and pork rib soup, a plate of bean sprouts and Chinese tea for two, costed only Rm14! It appeared not only popular to us, but to Indians as well! When we arrived, at least half of the customers were Indians! I joked to my wife that they should have quotas too! Don't get me wrong, almost every morning I am at the local Indian restaurant either having nasi lemak or roti canai and 'cow's milk tea'!

My current petition to KTM was spurred by an Indian friend's son who was disabled after an accident. He seems resigned to having to put up with the unfriendly (especially to old as well as disabled persons) design of the new Batu Gajah train station. They are still unaware of this exercise. I have various options to publicize this petition, but I am resisting them while I await some response from KTMB.
