Went out again last Saturday to have dinner with my friend� it ended up being known as our �Saturday ritual� by one of her friend @@��

We tried out a newly discover restaurant along Penang Hutton road, what attract me was the waitress, I mean their costume� I bet many guys fantasy :P

Anyhow, I happen to discover it during my 2 weeks back hunt for dessert and came across this shop while im driving :P

So to check out the place, we headed there around 630pm, and we was the 1st customer of the dinner :P

Ahh luckily their costume was in red instead the pinky costume that I had seen during the discovery� OH the costume is French maid costume but with different color..

The food was Ok�. Not very impressive tho, very pricey for the taste, I bet they are selling the ambience (very good) and the concept of French maid costume�

Yesterday since the clock striked 1130, the rain started to hit the earth, and never seems to stop until 1800 or more.. since im not in Penang so i'm not too sure of when the rain actually stop...

But what i do know is, the rain was so heavy, along the highway road too, my brother and SIL came back for visit, so yesterday we visited our grandparents and aunties and uncles for dinner... One the way to Kedah, the rain is heavy down pour...

Back at home in Penang, my maid called and told my mum that the outside of the house FLOOD... i mean yes FLOOD..... and it happen that one of our car was outside, so... the water nearly went inside the car ~ lol Car Flood luckily they r smart enough to ask my neighbour for help, to drive the car into the house....

when we reach home, we can see the "floodmark" inside the house,which this show that the water actually went into the house compound.... worse... the road around Penang "berlubang-lubang" (holes) and surprisingly CLEAN... lol

erm.. the tong sampah (rubbish bin) also flow till else where... lmao... but luckily... the rain stop, if not ill get free swimming pool at home with mud + unidentified ingriedient... :D

Bus On Fire

Picture Taken by Dr. Ch'ng (my uncle!) this tiger is Captive tiger at Kedah.

It might or might not be a hot topic now (since the politic news r overwhelmed in the newspaper) about Penang CM proposed of building a tiger park on 40ha of hilly terrain, Relau Penang.

This proposed idea had received both positive and negative replies from the public. Of course the negative replies weight heavier than the positive one.
I as the topic mention strongly oppose the idea of having a Tiger Park in Penang, because I don�t think is practical to put the tigers in captive when they are suppose to remain in the wild.

Of course I could not provide scientific argument however; the Tiger Park does bring some bad impression and interpretation for me. Few months ago, I read of the Tiger Temple in Thailand, which at the surface we saw the monk were providing home to the tigers that were saved from poachers, but in reality

CWI's Chief Executive Dr Barbara Maas says, "The Temple's popularity is based around claims that its tigers were rescued from poachers and move freely and peacefully amongst the temple's monks, who are actively engaged in conservation work. But this utopian fa�ade hides a sinister reality of unbridled violence and illegal trafficking of tigers between Thailand and Laos." Quote from Illegal Tiger Trade, Cruelty and Human Health Hazards at Famous Tourist Destination

Besides this, it would be scary to see the story repeated itself, the cost to maintain an adult tiger is high, what if the income from the public visit do not exceeded the expected income? How will they solve the problem? The tigers couldn�t let hungry for too long, as the suggested tiger park will be located near to highly populated. I know it will be highly monitored by the professional, but what if the tiger got loose, tiger and human conflict might occur. If the tiger happened to attack some human, what will be the faith of the poor tiger?

The tiger temple used to be a place for �saved tigers� but soon it turned into breeding centre, will The proposed tiger park in Penang, remains as its objective or it soon turned into breeding centre? Where all tigers in future will be in captive. Remember, only 40 ha is allocated. And Penang is such a small island to release tiger into wild. (there is no history of tigers population in Penang.)

Worse, will the nightmare occur in the proposed park? What is the future of the tiger if insufficient fund occur? Will the tiger park turned into tiger farm? Or will it involved in illegal trafficking? Remember years ago they have this huge activities of posting our portrait to CITIES to urge China�s government to continue the banned of tiger farming? News shown that, at the Tiger Farm in China, they served the big cat�s meat although it was banned. I just hope this won�t happen if Tiger Park is to impose in Penang.

Been to any zoo in Malaysia???? I been to Taiping Zoo which was disappointing with the poor management (but it was years ago), been to Zoo Negara too but I can�t make any comment because it was heavy rain once we step in and have a round on the trailer. But I been to Zoo Melaka twice, although I�m excited to see tigers in the zoo but, I nearly cried when I see their territory, is relatively small for 2 tigers, and some 3. But I do know if the tigers were not sent to Zoo Melaka, their fate will end once they were capture�. (Sad to say, the zoo in Malaysia are poorly managed) Will the Proposed Tiger Park well maintain in the future? is still a mystery...

Taken by Me, at Zoo Melaka... poor tiger... he is stressed out!

But in conclution, i still strongly oppose to the idea of having Tiger Park in Penang.

Anyway this is just a piece of my mind... and if you don't agree with me, i would loves to apologize here.. and thank you for reading.!
