The King's birthday

By interesting coincidence (interesting to some, anyway) yesterday was the King's birthday - a public holiday in KL (for those of you who don't understand, Saturday is normally a working day in Malaysia). This weekend also celebrates the Queen's birthday in New Zealand. Anyway, trivia to start this entry...

Sitting in La Bodega in Bangsar Shopping Centre, having just finished Eggs Benedict. I have to say it wasn't as good as it has been - the Hollandaise sauce was a bit thin this time.

Next to where we are sitting is a big display by Jaguar - the new Jaguar XK is quite nice. Particularly the convertible model. There is a good looking burgundy coloured example, with tan leather seats and roof. Then you look at the price. The normal model is RM 900,000, and the convertible price is even higher. Sigh.

The papers here can be very tedious. Today's edition of the Star is full of two things - football (soccer) and the King's birthday. And many small articles where one or other politician said something that the reporters found interesting. It's funny that the world news is more than two thirds of the way through the paper each time.

Time to go...
