Don't lock me up, I need to fly

Took some time off from the hustle and bustle and paid Malaysia a visit. The place still amazes me with its ability to look so sub-urban when it’s actually an important pulse of this area, exploding with so much life in the centre. The food’s definitely good for us, who have tasted too much local fare and our taste buds yearned for some quality fuel. Shopping’s another draw point, because there’s simply too much stuff to buy and look at there. I got myself some ear rings and a Von Dutch trucker at irresistible prices from JUSCO.

As I’ve promised Lynn the other day, I went in search of David Tao merchandise for the committee members as gifts, but I returned disappointed and empty-handed. Since I was collecting all David’s albums, I popped into 2 of the only CD shops I could find to check out on David’s older CDs. One has some of his earlier ones, but the prices are just beyond belief. The other shop only sells pirated stuff, and that would be the last thing on Earth I would buy. So it’s a no-show there. Sad.

Culture shock did catch me at the pet shop, where I spotted not just cats, rodents and fishes, there were even HEDGEHOGS, PYTHONS, SQUIRRELS and a BABY MONKEY. I mean, was it even legal to sell these as PETS? Firstly it’s cruel, secondly the animals don’t belong there. Not at the shop, not at home. Please, if anyone ever hears my plea, MY plea, please remove those animals, and remove them to where they belong. No one likes to live in a cage.
