Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka - The Angriest Building in THE WORLD!

Some architect had a sense of humour. The Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka building in Kuala Lumpur is definitely not a building I would show as 'iconic' in a tour of KL but it has emotion down to a science.  This building is pissed off and I'm pretty sure it is because they have yet to showcase him as a transformer... poor guy doesn't even realise he is a 'Go Bot' (google it or be born in the 80s) see the pics below and judge for yourself!

Perogies Poutine or Poutine Perogies

Here in Malaysia we have a small problem with getting the right ingredients for any western cooking job. for these bad boys I was really at the mercy of one particular ingredient - sour cream! The grocery store near my house doesn't always have sour cream in stock or perhaps it is a hot item and I never knew.  I better get off my rant and on to my post.

Today I had my first sale and we will see how it goes from here on in. I'm trying to liquidate some games, books and toys so, if you have ever been to my house feel free to make me an offer on anything you like... I really need those American/Canadian Pickers guys to roll through. LOL

The masks we wear

These are the masks we wear, For better or worse, The signs that do protect us. This is the shadow cast For outside glance A mirror shone to save us. When tempers flare And we're not there Come gather all around us. Slip on this sheathe, A warm embrace, And breathe relief Problems will never find us.
