I have just donated 2,020 grains of rice


What better way to learn and donate to help the hungry at the same time.
By playing this game, I learn new words and I have donated 2,020 grains. Well it's not alot but if we do it everyday spending a few minutes a day learning new words that will be beneficial to us and at the same time, donating grains of rice to feed the hungry. Now if we imagine the number of people all over the world learning and clicking away to donate each time we answer a question, it will run into billions of grains of rice. As to date, 52 billion grains of rice have been donated this way.
Yeah.. check it out.. below:

Walking down memory lane

Some 8 years ago, this was my residence, The regency supercondo at Gurney drive. You know life is like that, when we were staying there, we seldom go out to eat at those famous hawker stalls over there and its just walking distance away. All those years staying over there, I think I use the swimming pool only once ! Again, life's like that, when you don't have it, you want it but when it's there to for you to use for free.. we don't bother.

The famous Gurney drive "Penang fried koay teow" where you have to queue for turn to collect your orders. Sometimes the queue is so long that they will give you a warning first that you have to wait for 1/2 hour and ask whether you can wait. If you can't they will thank you and sorry... and say come back next time.







and here Song river cafe, one of my favourite cafe for breakfast those days when we have friends from out station, we will bring them to this cafe. Penang's famous "Bak Kut teh" and the fried "lala"
