Cornetto....
Everytime I see Cornetto ice-cream, I would be reminded of my childhood.I studied at a boarding school so every school holiday I would go back to my kampung.My little brother was my companion at my grandma's house.I had allowance at the hostel so I would save some money because I could treat my brother to some ice-cream.Not any brand but it had to be our favorite Cornetto. Cornetto to vilage kids like us was a luxury item.My brother would be so excited whenever I told him..A*** , I had some money for you to buy us two Cornettos.He would race to the village shop with his bicycle excitedly and I would wait for him patiently .When he came back with two Cornetto, we would hide ourselves at the veranda from other people.We would enjoy eating our ice-cream .A*** would look at me and say ; 'This is the best ice-cream.Thanks.' I would then thought I was the best sister in the world.Our love affair with Cornetto continued until we grew up.I have my taste of Baskin Robbin, Haagen Dasz, Starbuck and other great ice-cream.Of course A*** could afford to have his own choices.Somehow the memories of saving money for Cornetto , making my little brother happy and the great taste of ice-cream are priceless.They make me delude myself into thinking I am a great sister..hahahahaha

Novitec's Rosso Race 606
I totally heart this car.What do you think?Lets dream for a while.Who knows someone here would be able to drive it in the near future.However, I wonder how this car survives with bumpers along the road? How are we going to stop ourselves from driving more than the allowed speed limit? Wonder never ceases for those who can't afford the car!For those who can, they just buy and enjoy!
Kelisa FL
Today we sent my beloved Kelisa for face lift.My Kelisa has been dented and scratched for a long time.I thought it has character though I might be biased.It is an old trusty car and my relatives wonder why I still drive the car proudly.The car has character.We went to several workshops and finally we chose the one that promises great work with a cheaper price.The owner promises that the car will have new paint and there will be no more dents.The reason for the new look cos I want to sell my beloved Kelisa.It is only rational to do so as the house I am living now could only accommodate Mr- Swanky alone.The others have to be left under the harsh sun ray, rain and dust.I might be letting go my Kelisa but I will buy new gold sport rims for it first.Yummy!

Zebra crossing
Something that I like to share regarding zebra crossing :
Zebra crossings are black and white stripes from one side of the road to the other, just like a zebra.
Traffic should stop if drivers see you waiting to cross.
Wait on the pavement until all the traffic has stopped.
When it is safe to do so, walk straight across the crossing.
Make sure you keep looking and listening for traffic as you cross.
If the zebra crossing has a traffic island in the middle, you must treat this as two crossings.

I WAS in Australia some time ago. While trying to cross a road, traffic stopped for us at a zebra crossing. This happened every time we crossed the road.
My son marvelled at the politeness of Australian drivers. I told him that it was the law that all drivers must give way to pedestrians at zebra crossings.
My son said Malaysian drivers did not do that. "Is the law different here?" he asked.
I told him the law applies here, too.
Back in Petaling Jaya one day, while crossing the road, I decided to test my son's theory. I stood at the side of the zebra crossing.
Cars zoomed by. I must have stood there for more than a minute and not a single car stopped. I edged further out onto the road. Still no one stopped. Not only did the cars not slow down, they just zoomed by without noticing me, the pedestrian, nor the zebra crossing.
I tried this experiment four times at different parts of the town. Only once did a car stop for me; not because, I think, of the zebra lines, but more out of kindness at seeing a woman trying to cross the road.
There are kind drivers who would stop to let pedestrians cross the road even though not at pedestrians crossings but most drivers just zoom by with no regard for the white (yellow) and black lines. Even police patrol cars do not stop.
I think it's time the authorities did something about traffic rule compliance.
I also wish we can have more policemen patrolling on foot.

In my opinion, if there is a zebra crossing, we should adhere to the rule.Respect the pedestrians.
