Ringgit Malaysia

I was reading the drama which happened earlier today in Ipoh. One thing in particular caught my attention.

"The situation turns ugly in the House. Pakatan rep Thomas Su (Pasir Pinji) ridicules Ganesan by offering him RM50 and shouting ‘Go and die’ in Cantonese.

BN-friendly independent state rep and deputy speaker Hee comes to Ganesan’s defence by snatching away the money and tearing in into pieces."

Erm... I'm no law-practitioner but isn't tearing up our Ringgit Malaysia breaking the law? Our taxpayer's money is being used to pay the salary of these people - the supposed law-abiding leaders of the rakyat?

I am also don't normally write about politics but this was just to hard to resist.

Sigh... so the drama.

The day when Tiny came to stay...

Mum, Mel & I organised a mini dinner and had some friends over. Ms Lee and family, as well as Mel's classmate and her sister.

What was on the menu?
1. Ikan Cili Sumbat
2. Fried French Beans with Mushrooms
3. Sambal Udang
4. Sauteed Eggplant
5. ABC Soup
6. Coconut & Gula Melaka Jelly

Sorry, was busy helping mum in the kitchen and cleaning the house at the same time to bother taking photos. But I'm sure Ms Lee will upload it in Facebook soon! Haha!

Anyway, Ms. Lee came by with our newest member of the family!

Welcoming TINY into the family!

Well, she was named "Tiny" with the previous owner coz she was the smallest runt in the litter. Very very very small!

I thought how cute it will be to then rename her to Baby-T! You see kan? Baby-Tiny = Baby-T?

See above the leg size in comparison with my mum's (not middle) finger? And she has a stump of a tail, which in the photo makes her look like she has a bunny tail.

Oh well, my sister Mel is not very keen on the name Baby-T, so now it's back Tiny. After Google-ing, thought about using Miki instead... where Miki means...

Miki : small (Origin : Inupiaq)


Then thought maybe mum will confuse and start calling her Nikki (my previous woogie - sigh...) so for now, we're kinda sticking to Tiny till we agree on a better name...

Any suggestions?
