Blanched tomatoes cut into halves
Seeds and liquid separated from tomato flesh

Bad Guy!
Our landlady's husband replaced our sink faucet several months ago. When he did so he borrowed my screwdriver to work on it. He also, I saw him, used our kitchen knife. He used it as a prying tool.
When they were done, they left. I looked for the screwdriver and it was missing. He had taken it. Siew contacted the landlady and found that he had taken it. I am not sure if it was an accident or on purpose. It was a cheap screwdriver.
Siew then found the knife he had borrowed without asking. He mangled the tip of the knife (see pictures below). When Siew contacted the landlady her husband admitted to having done that.
Here is the part that bugs me. How the hell can use something without asking, damage it, put it back differently than it was there before and expect NOT to get caught? Fucking moron.
Anyway, I used some heat and a hammer and repaired the damage done to the knife. See the pictures below to see the damage he caused:

Crappy Food
If you see this logo:
Do not eat here.
I am not sure if I have posted this before, but even if I have, it is worth posting again.
This place is expensive and terrible.
Never ever go here. If they make effort to change their food and make it palatable, then maybe I will eat there. Maybe.

Chewed Up
Well, I have been in Penang for about a week now and I have been chewed up terribly by the mosquitoes.
They sprayed this area for mosquitoes, but it didn't do any good.
I have counted at least 25 mosquito bites on my body. Even burning a mosquito coil hasn't helped.
Usually having a fan blowing helps keep them off, but not today. I was woken up by a lovely mosquito-buzzing-in-my-ear-serenade.
Otherwise the trip has been a lazy trip.
Siew's eaten a lot of Penang food. I managed not to spend any money, despite my efforts.
I looked at some computer parts I want. A new case, game controllers for pc to run Dreamcast games, printer toner and board games.
I found no deals at all.
I did, however, manage to make a decent dice tower. Later I want to improve it and decorate it, but it is functional.
It is really a neat idea. You drop the dice in the top and the dice roll down and out into a tray that prevents them from bouncing all over a table, destroy everything you've carefully setup in their paths.
Later, IF I am hardworking I'll put some pictures of it up.
I have quite a few pictures of the terrain in Cameron Highlands that I need to sort and post.
We're heading back to KL tomorrow. We'll leave in the morning when people are still sleeping off their new year's celebrations. It should be less crowded on the roads that way.
Siew had wanted to stay longer, but I said we should head back earlier. We'll need to clean the house and shop for food. We can't do that in a huge rush, so it'll be less stressful if we do it slowly.
I have to go back to work on Monday. The classes will be smaller groups again. My Tuesday and Thursday class has been scattered and I'm supposed to be given a TOFEL class that I'm not overly keen on teaching. *sigh* Well, whatever. So long as I still get paid.

What the shoes?!
Today something very strange happened to me.
I was talking to my bosses and then was preparing to leave. When I stepped out of the office to put my shoes on I did not see my shoes. I looked around all of the shoe racks and my shoes were not to be found.
Someone stole my shoes. Seriously.
I had some simple Nike brand shoes, but nothing fancy. Nothing worth stealing. They were not the cleanest, but they were not too dirty or worn. I know Nike is expensive here. . . but how many people here can wear my size?
Not many stores here sell shoes my size. You really have to look around. Not that I have feet that are super huge or anything. Depending on the brand I usually wear 10.5 to 11. My great-grandmother would say I have a good "under-standing."
So, anyway, I had to walk down the stairs, get in the car, walk up the stairs to our apartment and then take off my now very dirty and wet socks.
Not a very pleasant way for me to have to buy a new pair of shoes!
