Humorous Aunty



bottom view of the leaf shaped fish


Remember the humorous aunty @ the aquarium fish store?
(one of the previous blog)

I was back ther again that day.

Walked into the store and saw this weird looking fish.
Colour of a dried leaf,
tear-drop shaped,
sorry unable to capture the top view of the fish
because most of the time it was hidding under the sand.

It is amazingly odd because if lying on the sand,
u'll mistaken it for a leaf,
instead of a fish.
Well-camouflaged.
Staying very low-profile.
It will be a special breed inside my aquarium.

Asked one of the salesperson,
he told me it'll not be difficult to keep.

"This one like those market got sell one lar!"

Market got sell???

"Ya u know those size are bigger than this, 
but abt the same lar!"

Frankly I didn't kw which one he meant,
but kept quiet act majiam I know
or else pai seh like 山龟.
But hack it,
his words would not add value to my decision.

I took the packet (a pair inside),
and walked towards the cashier aunty. (the funny aunty)

Once I placed it on her table,
got one uncle beside me,
bending towards the fishes,
with peering eyes.

"Wah, 这是什么??!?"

I looked at him,
and told him:

“鱼!养了等它大了煮来吃"

That aunty heard and exclaimed with a serious countenance:

"不能煮!怎么能煮?

要蒸!这种鱼,清蒸比较好吃! "

FAINT!

Aunty, u bery power.
I sing song and u dance with me.
Very 配合。

How to trap mosquitos? (Part 2)




Okie now to unveil the result.
(refer to "how to trap mosquitos (part 1) post)




Will this be my budget mosquito trap,
or another myth?

Excited!!!

This is how the trap looks like.
I purposely placed it on top of my cardboard (eye level)
so that it would "gather" the most mosquito, if possible.

Placed it for 3 weeks. Got a mild fart smell....




I peeled the black plastic away.
The concoction turned yellowish+cloudy,
with a smell mimic of urine.





As I looked in for sight of mosquito.
Strained my eyes...
Only see few ants.

Conclusion,
This is a myth.

How to trap mosquitos? (Part 1)




Gosh 31 Mar was my last post.
Away from bloggin for so long.
难道是到了瓶颈???
哈哈!

I am back.
Sorry to some of my faithful readers for the hiatus.

Latest scare is the mosquito, taking one life.
I've tried mosquito spray.
They doesn't work tat perfect.
Other than anti-mosquito spray,
is there any ways to eliminate those pest?


Online there is this eccentric method tat I would like to share...





Method:
A mix of water, brown sugar and yeast. (sounds easy and cheap)
1) Cut a plastic bottle in half, keep both parts. Can be soft drink bottle.
2) Take the lower portion of the bottle. Dissolve the brown sugar in hot water. Let it cool down to room temperature.
3) Add yeast. Carbon dioxide will form and will attract the mosquitos.
3) Cover the bottle with a dark wrap and insert in the top portion upside down like a funnel. Place it in a corner in your hse.
4) in 2 weeks you will be surprised by the number of mosquitos killed.


有影吗???

I decided to test it out myself... because this method sounds easily cheap.

Bought the items @supermarket.



The items



 Left: brown sugar, Right: Dissolved in water


As instructed, I dissolved the brown sugar,
cut a bottle,
added yeast.
It gave a mild odour.
Like someone farted.

Then I used black trash bag to cover the bottle.

Do u tink this cheap method will work??

Frankly I have doubts.
How can a concoction trap mosquito?
Will it work??
Ans will reveal soon in my next blog...
