Teaching my kids how to wakeboard

Guest post written by Greg White

There has been so many times that I've going wakeboarding that I honestly lost count years ago. Well, now it's actually about time that I can teach my kids how to do it. I picked it up in college and I can't believe that I've been doing it for so long. My wife is a little hesitant about it but I think that this is going to be a really nice way for me to bond some more with my kids.

My wife is of course coming along to drive the boat and make sure that everyone stays safe. I was online looking up some kid-sized wakeboards to buy for them and while I was doing that I saw the site WIRELESSINTERNET.net. I read through it and after that I decided to switch over our home internet service to it.

I think that this is going to be a really big success. Then maybe we can even convince my wife to learn how to wakeboard too! Although I really doubt that's ever going to happen. One can dream though.

Thai Cuisine at Thai Baiyok Restaurant

 

Just last month, I treated my parents to Thai cuisine at Thai Baiyok Restaurant at Heritage Club just opposite Penang Sports Club. Above is the combination of orders that I made for the 3 of us. I was suppose to go to the bank to settle my fixed deposits and got my dad to be my chauffeur. In return for the favor, I treated them at this new restaurant. It was our first visit.

 

Above is 'belacan' fried rice that comes with julienne mangos, bird's eye chilly which is extremely hot and spicy if you are not used to it, onions, julienne cucumber, cut long beans and topped with fried egg. I love belacan fried rice for its flavorful taste and succulent, crunchy vegetables that are paired with the rice. 

 

This is otak that was served and wrapped in aluminium foil shaped like a swan. Otak consists of fish, fragrant coconut milk, prawns and other seafood like calamari mixed with a blend of aromatic spices and steamed until cooked. You can also add basil leaves for the extra flavor and taste.

 

This sign board was put up at the entrance of the restaurant that serves Thai culinary. I don't mind patronizing this place again for its delicious Thai food but the bill can set you back by almost a hundred ringgit or about US dollars 35.00. If time permits and the pocket is deep, I love checking out new jaunts and food cafes to explore further in my dining pursuits all over Penang.  

Dinner at Bella Marino, Straits Quay

 

I had dinner at Bella Marino at Straits Quay in Penang some time back and the restaurant serves fine dining - as in delicious small portions with higher price. The red and green table cloths remind me of Christmas. I am not sure if the restaurant owner is a Christian!

 

This was my order of Salmone al Forno - a baked fillet of salmon with eggplant puree served in a rosemary butter sauce - YUM! The eggplant puree makes the dish all the more tantalizing and scrumptious. 

 

This was fish served with baby potatoes and other vegetables with a generous portion of secret sauce. 

 

I was also in Penang Times Square and went to Food Gallery, the biggest food court in Penang serving Chinese to Western and Malay cuisines. This was almond-fried fish with lemon butter sauce. The price was quite reasonable considering that you get to dine in an air-conditioned place and comfortable cushioned chairs.

 

A beautiful large bouquet of purple orchids with tiny blue flowers mixed with white orchids. I love the ensemble and flower arrangement!

My Experience with SONY Cyber Shot

Theme :
My Happiest and Craziest Experience with family members



I would like to expound on my trip to Bangkok some time back with the following vacation photos taken using my Sony Cyber Shot. We stayed in 4-star Prince Palace Hotel in Bangkok. Here is a view of the room with intricate wall paper design and cozy beds. The clothes wholesaler are located around this hotel. So, if you want to buy clothes at wholesale price, you know where to get next time.



This is a very cosy ambience of Prince Palace Hotel that I took in the evening when the chandeliers are lighted up.



Behind me is the Wat Arun temple in Bangkok. For only 50 bahts (5 ringgit) per person, you can rent costume of various colors to snap with Wat Arun. Here is yours truly in Bangkok. :)



My youngest sister in blue and me in pink. This is the national Thai costume.



You will never be short of ideas of what to do in Bangkok. You can go for an elephant ride. Ouch, my bottom hurts…. The ride took about 10 minutes balancing the seat on the elephant’s back, but good for a lifetime experience.



Or go for a horse ride with a cart. Less bumpy than the elephant ride.



Or see dolphine show in Safari World.



Take photo of the beluga in Safari World.



Go to the loo to relieve ourselves. See how colorful the doors are!



Next on the item is Thai kick boxing or muay Thai as part of the cultural show.

Had Orthodontic Treatment

I used to have overlapping front teeth that makes it harder to chew and food bits tend to get stuck between my overlapping teeth. As a result, I decided to go for orthodontic treatment to straighten my teeth. On the day of operation, I had 4 pre-molars removed by general surgery. I had to don medical scrub as a patient before the surgery under general anaesthesia and you can check out http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/. The nursing staff also donned nursing scrubs that are more affordable.

You can check out http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ to see the various types of scrubs that are available. After about 2-3 years of constant treatment, my teeth are now straight and look much better. I still remember the day I came out from the surgical room, my cheeks were very swollen as I also had 2 molars removed including a cyst. It was fortunate that my dental surgeon decided to let me undergo general surgery where the cyst in my gums were discovered in time. Otherwise, it would grow and grow and then loosen my teeth eventually.

Now I am currently on a business trip with my colleague and we are staying in the rented condominium that was provided by the company. Yesterday was a wild goose chase trying to find the client to collect our check for sports courts that are completed. It was quite late at night after dinner and the time we arrived at the condominium unit to rest after a long drive down.

Austin Carpet Cleaning Service

I have worked in a carpet shop before for about only 4 months in an upmarket shopping mall. Though it was a short stint, nevertheless, I learnt valuable cheap and affordable marketing techniques but is labor intensive. This is because you need to search for potential clients' addresses from the internet or yellow pages and pair them with the area code book. Every fortnight, we will send out about 400 addresses as I need to type in 30 addresses every day. Anyway, since I left, the small carpet shop has closed down since no one else will type the addresses every day, much less my slothful supervisor. You can check out http://www.thesteamteam.com to find out more about carpet cleaning.

You can also check out carpet drying fans austin or carpet flood damage austin in case you require such services. I have also bought 2 small carpets from the shop for the water closet upstairs and stair case downstairs.

Well, now I am gainfully employed permanently to work at home office for a sports building business which installs tennis courts, futsal courts, netball courts, basketball courts, and any other sports courts all over the country. I also get to travel frequently between the different states to meet up with clients and to oversee the existing projects. Life has been different since then.
