The Rat King

At the Heritage there is a group of statues depicting the Chinese Zodiac.  For those of you who don't know the Chinese Zodiac consists of twelve animals that have some influence or other on your life (just like the western zodiac). I am a monkey which apparently has something to do with my playfulness, guile, and penchant for bananas.
I have noticed that there is a huge rat that hangs out at the heritage... not mutatedly huge but it is a sizable rat none the less. Now I know what you are all collectively saying... 'Who cares?' or 'Why is this possibly blog-worthy' well I will tell you.  The big ass rat has a nest and its nest is under the statue of... THE RAT.  How cool is that?  The rat has its own place under proportionally a giant rat.  Imagine you lived in a house with a giant person on top... pretty cool...  Picture to come soon. I can never seem to get my phone out in time to a picture of the rat... it seems like it may become some kind of urban legend type deal but at the very least I will try to get a picture of the statue.


 Updated with Pictures. Apparently the Rat is going for a 'hip hop' urban style with the sideways cap!

ESL Writing Tips - Paragraph Structuring

I've been working on some writing materials for a course I am supposed to be teaching next week, so I thought I would get the ball rolling by making a post about basic paragraph structuring. What is a paragraph? The most basic thing to learn when tackling writing a paragraph is to understand the relationship between the components and understand the definition of a paragraph. Our end result is the paragraph but before that we must have some sentences, those sentences are made up of words, those words come from ideas, and hopefully our ideas have a theme or topic. To sum up a paragraph is a bunch of words on on topic organised into a series of sentences. Simple right?  What are the parts of a paragraph? So glad I asked because I have a picture just for this: So Informative Many learners do not pay close enough attention to the impact that a good topic sentence can have. In order to have a good topic sentence you must ensure that you have indeed made a logica

Urbanfresh at Setia City Mall

I recently made the unfathomable trip from my home to Setia City Mall in Setia Alam Malaysia. I was, of course, in search of interesting shopping and imported food. Some background. For those of you living in Setia Alam congrats on picking a beautiful place to live; however, my condolences as you all live in the bloody boonies!  Setia City is an INCREDIBLY nice mall with a fine selection of shops and F&B outlets, but unfortunately no game stores or Chilis (TGIFridays? Really? Ugh.) I stumbled upon a grocery store that looked quite up-scale and my import sense started tingling. What a classy place with words like Urban and fresh right in the name it must be good. The pillar says "fresh food" for seal's sake so come on! They had this interesting apple display going on at the front of the store.  This is actually a cardboard tree with apples all around it. It is a neat idea... I just hope the apples didn't grow on cardboard! The fresh fruit and veg

Free coffee

well today, as some of you malaysians may know, starbucks was giving out free drinks today between 12 and 2pm.  it was a mystery frapp with no whipped cream (for shame) with red beans or tea jelly depending how lucky(or unlucky) you were. I wasn't really bothered one way or the other because  the love of my life    my favourite barrista was there. In true, giving out free crap fashion the line had to have about 50 people in it and took the better part of 30minutes to get through.  I had once on a whim calculated how much I get paid per minute of life... let me tell you... my free frapp cost me in that equation... lucky we don' count life that way or else we would never find the joy in free coffee.
