Another Cable Theft / Open Manhole in Bercham / 2nd in 10 days
Another cable theft / open manhole at Bercham. This time on Persiaran Bercham Selatan 17/ Persiaran Bercham Selatan 34 junction. Seems that alert by YB Ipoh Timor is not getting the due attention. This the second highlight and in the same area in 10 days. ??

Charlie (Cicada) Cricket Showed Up This Evening
| Handsome Cichada ...... |
Charlie Cicada, the cricket which comes once a year before Chinese New Year showed up this evening. This was a young one. His wings were very transparent and almost resembled Darth Vader or maybe worse. It made a bee line toward the kitchen to report (to our Ancestors) about imaginery gossips but I stopped it. It was nice of him to drop by though. Hope to see him again next year.

The Last Fruit Cake of 2025
Sometime this week will see me gobble down the last fruit cake of 2025 which will be the Eurasian. It was a bumper 2025 with friends offering their giftings. We had the English, Portugese and a Fruit Pie that came in aluminium wrap around. All have that same ingredients but each had their distinctive taste and flavour. I hope to have another gifting in 2026 later ??
