Sweet Thoughts

Walking along the Gaya Sunday Market this morning, I spotted a group of young children queuing up for the candy!

I remember my daughter Rachel who loved to have this huge candy, many times bigger than her little face. Now, she should have outgrown that!

Coffee High

Coffee does give a kick. Coffee does give a high!

I was searching all over the place for Nescafe last night in a supermarket. Finally, I asked for "direction".

I was given a "high". See how high are Nescafe being placed in this supermarket? With my 170cm, I could only reach the lower shelf of Nescafe packed in packets. The cashier (she was doing the job because the shelf is hung right above her cash counter) had to stand on a stool to bring down the Nescafe I wanted.

Shoplifters here need a coffee kick and high, I reason!

The Window

Watching out from my window, I have this scene!

Love this quote -

Better keep yourself clean and bright.
You are the window through which you must see the world.”

George Bernard Shaw

Is my window clean and bright?

Miracles

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize:
a blue sky,
white clouds,
green leaves,
the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Fruity Experience it was

Strolling along Kota Kinabalu's Gaya Street Sunday Market, I was drawn to this stall. The man, Hii Chang Ling, framed the newspaper reports featuring his "fruity experience". It must be his pride and joy. When I told him I am with the newspaper that reported him, he insisted to give me three seedless lemons cultivated by him!

The Scarecrow

Pix taken during the KK Gaya Sunday Market walk

“We must not make a scarecrow of the law,
Setting it up to fear the birds of prey,
And let it keep one shape till custom make it
Their perch, and not their terror.”
William Shakespeare
