Photos of a strange world...

Here's a small collection of some random photos I took from here and there, guaranteed to make you smile, laugh, scratch your head or at least raise an eyebrow....

Random pic 1: "Honey, what does the sign at the spot where I just threw the garbage bag say?"

Sign says "Littering is prohibited. Fine RM500.00". I saw this in Ipoh during my amazing Ipoh trip, and it goes to show that people in Ipoh don't seem to be able to read Malay very well.... or it could've been opposites day!


Random pic 2: "We Fight for Free!"


I took this photo a couple of months back on one of my work visits to Jakarta. Translated in English, the sign means "We are willing to volunteer to fight with Malaysia!!!". Needless to say, I wasn't particularly tempted to stick my head out my car window, wave to them and say "Hey there! I'm a Malaysian". That would probably have been equivalent to saying "Hey there! Come beat the crap out of me now!". Apparently this had to do with some tensions between Malaysia and Indonesia over an area of sea called Ambalat containing quite a bit of money-making oil. Ah well.


Random pic 3: "Hyperactive kid? I got just the thing..."

Leashes for kids! I'm torn between thinking this is some form of cruelty to kids and that it's a most brilliant idea. Well, I did notice this kid was particularly active and couldn't stop running and jumping around (I'm quite sure she would've jumped over the railing if not for the leash) so to the parents, I can't blame them and I wish them good luck.


Random pic 4: "Some cream to go with your banana?"

If your bananas aren't big or hard enough, you could just always go back to the supermarket and complain to the manager for a refund.... 0 :-)
