Photohunters-country side view

photohunters2mo1

This week’s theme on Photohunters is ‘view’. For the theme I would like to share views from the country side. Perhaps it is mundane and commonplace to the people in my town and its vicinity. To photohunters from all over the world, the views here might be refreshingly different.. I hope :)

A mix of the old and the new.

Tortoises and terrapins as pets

malay boy

Kids like to keep pets. However I am not sure it is always a good idea. Some animals like tortoises, turtles and terrapins belong to the wild.

Malaysia online boutique offers to sponsor Mrs Bengbeng’s birthday present

Another day another post. But this post might make some of you envious :) Mrs Bengbeng’s birthday is coming soon and when I saw some fashion apparel on the net, I went over for a look. I contacted Irene and surprise of surprises, she agreed to sponsor Mrs Bengbeng’s birthday present(s). She didn’t set a limit but of course being a typical Ah Beng I understand that two would be nice. One cannot be too greedy. :)

Online fashion is quite a new phenomenon on the Malaysian blogosphere. As an online boutique, I find the choices suitable for Malaysian women, and are reasonably priced

Land lease issue in Sarawak, supper at Tanahmas and RH Hotel

I am supposed to be on a diet but it isn’t easy when the spirit is willing and the flesh is weak. I was invited out last night. I thought it would be another session of a few kongpia or something but we ended up eating chicken wings, mee mamak and sandwiches at Tanahmas Hotel. I never expected it or I would have brought along my camera :(

Weekend snapshot - rhinoceros beetle/kumbang badak sipping water

weekend snapshot

This week I highlight a approx one year old rhinoceros beetle taking a sip of water. It could easily fly off when I took the pics but it perhaps it felt safe or perhaps it was distracted by the water.

Mission accomplished

deformed

Even in nature, nothing is perfect. This specimen has a deformed horn

The rhinoceros beetles (or Rhino beetle) are a subfamily (Dynastinae) of beetles in the family of scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae).

They are among the largest of beetles, so named because of the characteristic horns borne by the males of most species in the group. The male beetles use their horns in mating battles against other males.

Their larva stage is long, several years in some species. The larvae feed on rotten wood while the adults feed on nectar, plant sap and fruit. Rhinoceros beetle larvae are sometimes fried and eaten as a bush delicacy.

Rhinoceros beetles are also the strongest animals on the planet, proportionally. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight. To put this into perspective, if a human of average height and weight had the strength of the rhinoceros beetle, it would be able to lift a 65 ton object, for example, an Abrams Tank.

D.I.Y. diet food for a small family Rm10.00

benghui at table

This post is not to be taken seriously. I am not a chef but a no-choice-have-to-cook daddy. I hadn’t realized how the prices of goods have raised the cost of food at the dining table. No wonder the restaurants are charging more. Anyway I cooked the following simple economical dishes. When I added it up, I never expected it to reach Rm10.00

Growing up pains

Character : nine year old boy in a primary school

Benny : I am no longer afraid during recess or after school. It is ok when the teachers are in the classroom. I always worry because auntie is never at the school gate when the bell rings for dismissal. She says it is safer to come when there is less traffic.

I told the big boy, “My daddy has talked to the head mistress about it. I will not give you any more money. This money is for me to eat during recess. I will not lie for you any more.” ( p.s. the daddy did no such thing )

The year five student was scared. He hasn’t approached me for a few days already. My daddy was wrong to leave me alone in the school. :(

Lose belly fat and gain abdominal muscles-Bengbeng tips

Day 71 of my 4 day cycle keep fit program

belly3

A buddy told me technically it shouldn’t be day 71 as we don’t do gym everyday. At best it is day 40 or less if we only count the days we hit the gym. Anyway, numbers are just a technical thingy :) Even if I didn’t hit the gym, I still needed to control my diet etc.
