My Favourite Photo Of CNY2020

Above..My favorite photo of CNY2020. The Pakatan Harapan Perak team with added glamour from Ave Maria Convent.

Last nights Pakatan Harapan Perak's CNY2020 celebration at SJK (C) Sam Chai Ipoh. It's a pity that YB Nizar Jamaluddin was not included in the photo above otherwise it would have been picture perfect.

Anti Litter Units In Old Town

Pics from Dr Ko's FB page

At last we have an anti-litter unit operating in Old Town. Saw this on Dr Ko Chung Sen's Fb page. Shows 'would-be litter-bugs taking back their trash after they were warned by , i presume,'MBI'

From Dr Ko's Fb page .."Anti-litter units operating in some parts of Ipoh city to catch irresponsible people who dump garbage everywhere. 

All those have taken back the trash after being warned. In future the authorities will not give an opportunity and will issue a summons to anyone who commits the offense."

A comment from Dr Mike Singh said" better late than never"

I couldn't agree more.

A Visit From Charlie The Cicada

Meet ‘Charlie’ the Cicada. It dropped by during my reunion dinner and stayed the night only leaving he next afternoon.

It perched itself onto my kitchen fan and ‘modeled’ for me the next morning before literally screeching off.

Folklore says that it is ’good luck’ if it drops by because ‘it only reports back good stories’. Don’t ask me to whom although I presume it is to ‘ the good fairy Godmother’.

I presume too it’s got good hearing and it’s got these huge ‘BUG’ eyes to watch and report.

Huge BUG eyes for which to watch and report back ???

Folklore aside it belongs to the Insect family. According to Wikipedia’s description it’s in the “….Order: Hemiptera , Class: Insecta , Scientific name: Cicadoidea, Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Arthropoda, Rank: Superfamily

Its in the SUPERFAMILY class….Description: The cicadas are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera. They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers.

Spotty still in a daze the morning after 16 Oct '17 .... about to go to the vet for check up.

Tomorrow, my dog Spotty's case will be heard in the magistrates court. I didn't receive a notification via mail or informed of the case number only a phone call from the Veterinar Office telling me to be present at '9 pagi' on the 3rd Feb 2020.
