MISCELLANEOUS

PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN FRUITFUL FOR ME ....

Went to United Voice in PJ to review their operation and activities on behalf of a sister-in-law. UV's a self advocacy society of persons with disabilities. They believe in giving their members a voice, an independent voice in daily living and decision-making.

Some members are producing art and crafts (paintings, book marks, greeting cards) and they bake biscuits for sale.

These members are paid a salary and they learn to do a routine, they learn discipline and independence. UV truly does a GREAT and noble job.

I am 3 sleeps away from going home. I bought some shoe bags from Daiso (100 Yen shop) at The Curve. Also some compression bags to help me keep my clothing down in size/volume (but not in weight). Daiso has some great products; all priced at RM5.



I compressed (using a household vacuum cleaner suction) about 12 pieces of cloting into this.

I love wind chimes. Recently I sort of collect them when I come across them for sale.

Darren + family took me out for dinner at Bijan Bar & Restaurant, Jalan Ceylon. Bijan is sesame in Malay. It offers Malay food in a fine dining setting.

The appetizers were ok but we loved their mains. We had rendang tok ayam kampung, kerabu pucuk paku and masak lemak udang tempoyak.

I never tried tok before but it was a beautiful rendang. I have had tempoyak before but found out from Darren that it is fermented durian.
