[Videos] Famous 'Padang Brown Poh Piah' and Lunch at Passions of Kerala

The above is a short video on Penang's famous 'Padang Brown Poh Piah' or salad spring roll with extra crab meat with surcharge. The roll with extra crab meat cost RM4.00 each, which is about USD1.33. It consists of julienned turnip stir-fried with carrots. This is topped with shallots, plenty of real crab meat, wrapped with a rice batter skin and smeared with a special secret sauce, with or without red pounded chili paste.

This is one of my weekly staples, amongst others.

See the picture on Kindness from my Instagram account below:-

Recently, I happened to have a lunch meal at Passions of Kerala Restaurant, in New World Park. This was tomato rice with 3 types of veggies, a mint sauce past and 3 types of curries consisting of dhal curry, chicken curry and another type of curry. See the short interesting video below to whet your appetite.

For drinks, I ordered mango 'lassi', which is a type of Indian yoghurt drink. I am thankful for being alive daily in this pandemic. Things could go wrong anytime and in Malaysia, I feel like being followed everywhere I go. I don't know why I am 'so' important but apparently the Times Square JMB or other authorities' fear of the information and experience that I went through, and expose their misappropriation of JMB funds! Well, if the top leadership can become a backdoor government and stealing of government coffers like 1MDB, Tabung Haji, FELDA, etc, then it is the norm that everyone seems to follow suit; except for a few grandpas or baby boomers who are fighting hard for their grandkids' uncertain future. Kindly, please stop this snooping and targeting around wherever I go!

Below is a nice Instagram picture of Psalms 91:11 on God's protection. Just click on '>' button to swipe left and see 2 more "Good Morning" lovely photos. There is a baby resting with the quotes, "No Job, No Stress." And another third and final awesome picture as well. See below:-

That's it for today. Stay safe and stay healthy.

[Videos] Penang Batik Clothes and Batu Feringghi Beach Travel

Above is a short video taken by me, and compiled with copyright-free music with credits given below it. See the colorful play of designs and repertoire of colors as eye candy. They sell men's short-sleeve shirts, women's scarves, blouses, pajamas, and more. This is located on the ground floor in the main foyer of Prangin Mall. Do view the entire video.

See an Instagram shot of the various Penang Batik clothes in this post below:-

The video below showcases the vlogger's travel by car along the famous Batu Feringghi Road stretch, lined with condominiums, both high and low-ends. For the purpose of this video, I have removed the low-end apartments, built by the Malaysian government for the tsunami victims and also the priviledge "bumiputra" MIA - missing in action lot.

See the relaxing azure blue seas, greenery of shrubs and coconut trees, amongst others that grow on both sides of the winding road. See a cameo appearance of yours truly, de-stressing while squeezing a rubber toy ball, towards the end!

As today is lazy happy Sunday, I have added my Instagram pictures here of "Good Morning," from my account. Hope you like it as much as I do. By the way, a strawberry is the only fruit with seeds outside the skin.

That's it for now. Just in case, you need to register for Covid-19 vaccination on the MySejahtera App on a voluntary basis and it is your passport to future travel overseas. You will be given a Covid-19 certificate after completing the booster jab. Stay safe and stay happy.

[Videos] Queensbay Mall CNY Decorations and Chinese New Year Eve's Reunion Dinner

Above is an awesome video shot by yours truly and the clips compiled into a movie. The decorations at Queensbay Mall were superb, with giant kois and even a water pipe with running water out turning a wooden wheel for fortune. Chinese New Year celebration is indeed a big occasion. It is celebrated yearly with loud bangs of fire crackers, giving out of "ang-pows" or red packets with money to the unmarried people, and young ones. It is time to rejoice and have some reunion dinner with the tossing of "yee sang" or salmon salad with crackers and honey.

See the video below, also done by yours truly.

Here are ordered food from "Foong Wei Heong Chinese Restaurant" during CNY eve. Let the video speaks for itself. Below is a nice Instagram picture of CNY eve's dinner theme where the family get together for meal fellowship.

Hope you enjoy and view my 2 videos above that were done this week and the Instagram picture carefully chosen from my WhatsApp account. Stay safe and Stay HAPPY.

[Video] Happy Valentine's Day and Kelvin Chan's Reunion with His Mom in Heaven

Above are carefully curated photos of Royalty-free clipart pictures taken from my account that I get to use free for 1 year as a reviewer. You can check out more information below:-

https://bizinfo123.com/clipart-com-your-one-stop-site-for-still-and-animated-images/

I would like to wish "Happy Valentine's Day" to all couples and also single people. 🧡💛💚💙💖💦

More importantly, stay healthy and stay happy.

See the lovely picture of Valentine's day theme Instagram taken from my account:-

On a side note, it is indeed sad, that a dear Atomian who was my first member, and the only one who attended a Zoom session, albeit only once, passed away on 5th February 2021 due to a massive sudden cardiac arrest. Kelvin Chan had feedback to me about frequent gastric pains, when it was actually a symptom of an impending heart attack. Also, his boss owed him RM500 from RM1k due to the pandemic and MCO.

So, it is a solemn situation for everyone here, especially in Malaysia, notwithstanding the political landscape. Mr. Kelvin Chan Weng Hoong is now in a happier place, holding hands with his beloved mom, that he missed so dearly. His third brother from Muar, Chan Weng Joo, drove out to settle his cremation and autopsy, where he was Covid-19 negative.

Kelvin Chan would have been 53 years of age this coming March 2021.

May you rest in peace, brother Chan. I shall miss our frequent calls on business, politics and Atomy. Thanks for making me an admin in 2 of your channels, especially Food, Beverage and Movies channel, where you were a founder, that is now very active with participants, posting funny movies, ads, messages, and etc. Now, I know you love watching Netflix and Astro, to unwind from the stress at work. RIP brother Chan. You deserve better than this.

[Video] Unboxing NPET KM20 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

That's me unboxing NPET KM20 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo. I had to pay for the costly FeDex courier, and no tax this time. However, 1 important component was missing when it was opened. The USB converter that syncs to the wireless keyboard and mouse. Now, customs, can you explain this important missing component??? The wireless keyboard and mouse combo are now useless without this component that's missing from the package!!!

Indeed, there's too much negativity, theft, cheating and lying to get ahead and to hit commissions. One day, I received a call from a new CIMB relationship manager (RM) that was transfered to the Beach Street branch. I shall not dwell on the details, but suffice to say that I receive a call from her promising me to buy Atomy and she hit my hot button. Not only I lost about $2k, for the early withdrawal of wrong investment in hedge funds, instead of Chinese unit trusts, she NEVER even bothered to buy anything from Atomy, despite being registered. Lesson learnt! Don't be in a rush to register strangers!

Below is a picture from my Instagram account:

The latest news I heard is that for the Chinese New Year (CNY) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), reunion dinner is now allowed with conditions. No more that 15 family members living within 10km radius, according to today's The Star printout. Also must not involve inter-state or inter-district travel.

Anyway, I am quite tired of this evening's online Zoom lesson on using a software that is paid for USD 20 monthly. Pretty costly right?? That's how small our Malaysia ringgit has become.

As I am now having a slight headache, I shall end this post. Need a rest and "ME" time to sleep, nap and recuperate. Take care in this "shark eat shark" world!

[Video] YMCA Song, Dance on TikTok

Above was me dancing to participate in a sponsored program for a 30-day challenge by the mastermind of the moniker, Saje Flow (pronounced as 'Sage' Flow). What I like about TikTok is that it allows you to create short videos and that's about it. There is just too much negativity here, when you read about the political current situation, that I just try to forget about it, and move on with life, hoping to earn an income and be cautious, not to be conned of my hard-earned money. I pray for the covering of Psalms 91 over my life, my finances, my family and everything else.

Also, while in the process of trying to earn extra income, and get busy hustling, I also need to reduce the noise and challenge outside by reducing work load. In addition, I need to pamper myself, by having more "ME" time in solitude and to reflect. For people of other religion or faiths, they will meditate and do what it takes to stay positive, stay calm and stay connected with loved ones.

Below is my Instagram account's photo of Good Morning, Relax It's Sunday message.

The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy. See the lovely Instapic below:-

In retrospect, women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world - Hillary Clinton.

See her picture and some words of wisdom.

Finally, stay safe and stay at home.

[Video] Aquatic Animals and Pets

This video shows the various pets for sale like dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, hamsters, mice, an albino Burmese python, tarantulas, bearded dragon pet lizards, various fresh water and sea water fishes, Arowana fish, and pet accessories. Normally, photo taking is Not allowed. But since my friend is a regular customer there, I had the opportunity to take this video for posterity and also indirectly an advertisement for Chew Thean Yeang Aquatic and Pet company.

There's a rare white albino Python for sale as a pet too! Fancy this! In retrospect, I love watching the various fishes swimming, like the Japanese Koi carp, Golden Arowana for "huat" or prosperity, gold fishes and many more. The baby rabbits were so cute to look, but they have small claws, bear this in mind, when carrying them by holding the furry body. Hamsters are easier to upkeep due to its size.

I used to own a hamster called "Hammy" back then, during my student days in the varsity. It was a gift from second sis who was studying in NUS at that point in time. Now she's married and lectures in a UK university, armed with a PhD or doctor of Philosophy, in English Literature. Being a banana, or "Chinese outside but English inside", she loves staying and had gotten herself settled down in the U.K.

Second sis had worked for 5 years as the the head of English Business department in Suzhou, China. She voluntarily resigned to pursue her PhD. In fact, her boss wanted to increase her salary to entice her to stay on, but she had already made up her mind.

Do you like the Instagram picture above? I love "Good Morning" pictures from my various Whatsapp groups and post here for posterity. Incidentally, I also happened to be chosen for Blog Meets Brand ambassador for the first time for Saje Flow. He's of Asian descent living in the US and is a motivational speaker as well as a Youtuber. Apparently he loves dancing and talking, motivating his viewers and sponsee, like yours truly, to create videos and to post on the various social media.

Below is a TikTok video specially made for Saje Flow:-

This is the first time, I managed to add voice with background music to suit the requirements.

From 2021 onwards, I am going to hustle hard, save up as much as I can, and complete as many gigs as possible, while not forgetting to schedule self care daily. Thanks for the inspiration by Saje Flow. Check out:- https://members.dancingandlife.com/auth/register?afmc=7u 😍😎😁
