What's in the Bag?

What's in the yellow bag? Those who pre-order their copy of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow will be given a Yellow paperbag.

This is what's in the bag.

A book and a Quill

For those who did not pre-order their copy of HP7, They are given the normal Kinokuniya plastic bag with a peacock feather inside.

It really puzzle this small kucing. Those who order pre-order their book get a small feather, possibly goose feather whilst those who buy on the spot get a BIGGER feather i.e. peacock feather??? Why do this small kucing feels that she is somehow being short changed???? You'll just have to see the comparison...BIG vs Small..hmmm.....

Launching of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at Kinokuniya

Yayay! It's day of launching for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow. Unable to wake up early, so got to KLCC around 7.40am.

Aisey! Queue starts from 3rd floor and 5.30am. Hopefully, I'm not too late to join in the fun

Though the shop have been open for nearly an hour, the queue is still very very very long. Maybe it's because only the main entrance is open and it takes up time as people took some time to snap photo with the "Fat Lady". Nope! am not trying to be insulting coz there is really a character named "Fat Lady" in Harry Potter series.

It's a blessing in disguise that this small kucing arrived there late. Barely 5 minutes of queuing, Kinokuniya open the second door to the store for those who wanted to buy the books only.

Wow! people are grabbing the books off the shelves like there is no tomorrow. It's selling like hot cakes!

For those who have pre-order their copy, they do not have to queue up with the general population. Just go upstairs and collect their copy. And I must say. Those two ladies at the counter were very efficient in doing their job. One took our copy of order receipt and get ready the book with the goodies in an orange bag while the other collects the money

Paid the balance of the book price.

And get the book in an orange paper bag.

After all the Huh Hah of getting a copy of the book, the next exciting thing is to checkout "The Fat Lady". Not many people there since most people are in the shop browsing. Snapped some photos with The Fat Lady and she obligingly poses for us.

This is one of the funny poses. Get the password wrong and you'll be locked out of Kinokuniya..muhahahahaha.. Just joking just joking.

Sad

Harry Potter & The Deadly Hallow (Cont'd)

3 more days to go and the password to the Gryffindor enterance at Kinokuniya is "Gillyweed, Violet". Good luck and all the best.

Temerloh Bandar Ikan Patin

Went by Temerloh the other day. The town is famous for its Ikan Patin fresh from the river. Maybe that's why there is a signboard proclaiming that "Temerloh Bandar Ikan Patin" as you enter the town.

Along the small winding road at the river bank, you will see signs hung on poles, nailed to the tree or outside small huts stating that Ikan Patin is available

We decided to stop at this small hut. Only two fella lofting around. We said we wanted to get some Ikan Patin. One of the shouted to someone at the river to bring up some fishes

Here is what it looks like behind the hut. A very steep river bank. There, they built cages for the fishes. From here, the "boss" will get the fishes as and when required by the customers.

They will bring the fishes to the small stall infront of the hut. Fishes are then put into an aquarium.

Customer can choose which one they want and have it clean by the man there or alternatively, they can bring the fish home alive.



Talapia is also sold there apart from Ikan Patin. Price is the same. Either type is RM12 per kilo.

What the...

This must be a very very very old truck. Why? Coz it had been more than two decades that Wilayah Persekutuan/Selangor telephone number contains more than 6 digits after the pre-fix "03".

Did I read wrongly or has vanity car plat arrived in Malaysia?

Durian Tart

Passby Karak the other day. A friend recommended this small kucing to try the Durian Tart at Restaurant Yik Kee in view that this small kucing is mad about durian. Maybe with an exception of Dodol. Don't like Dodol at all.

The shop is located directly opposite of the town's only KFC outlet.

Bought half a dozen of the Durian Tarts at RM1.30 per piece.

The tart sort of got "distorted" on the way home as the texture is a bit too soft. Too many things in the car. Strong durian smell from the tart.

Apart from Durian Tart they also have Portugis Tart, "Siew Pau", Durian Bomb(I wonder what is that), Sak Kei Mah and others.

Don't look down on this ancient shop. It seems that their business is quite good. How do I know that? It's in their receipt. They collect the 5% Government Tax. Only business with Revenue above a certain amount is liable to collect Government Tax of 5%, right?
