CHIEF MINISTER OF PENANG

Okay, okay... I should say ex-Chief Minister of Penang, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon. :P

Anyway, for as long as I can remember or should I say, all my life growing up and in fact, born in Penang, he was the only Chief Minister that I knew. Who before that or whatever was never registered in my mind. I never know. Only after doing some research out of curiosity a while ago, did I know that the Chief Minister before him was Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu. :D

So by now, I think most of you can roughly guess my age. :P

All that said, I had the honour of meeting him in person last night at a dinner. Close enough to shake his hand. And I should say that he looks so much better in person. Those pictures published on media are totally unflattering!

Here, just to show you what I mean. :D

CHINESE TEA

B and I had dinner at Sushi King today. But that's not the story, of course. Hehehee...

Half way through, a father with his two young sons came by and occupied a table very near to us. A waiter presented them with the menu and asked for their order. The father ordered green tea - usual. Then the waiter turned to the boys and asked, "And for you, sir?"

One of the boys promptly put up his index finger and answered, "Chinese tea!"

Being polite, the waiter smiled and turned to the father. The father cleared his throat and said, "Three green tea, please."

The waiter took their order and walked away, laughing to himself. Hahahaa...
