The Revenge Of Ultraman


Ultraman

The revenge of Japan Ultraman was on show in India New Delhi on 25 May.

As Malaysia has banned Ultraman, that's why Ultraman turned into badminton players and thrashed Malaysia Thomas Cup Team in New Delhi.

Japan had upset China and versus Malaysia in the final. Malaysia is one of the world top ranking in badminton but defeated by Japan in Thomas Cup Final.

It's all the fault of water spinach. If Prime Minister Najib Razak didn't advocate Malaysians to eat water spinach, Thomas Cup Final outcome would be different.

USM Convacation

As my son was studying at USM, I had to travel between Penang and Malacca. After graduating from USM, he furthered his study at University of the West of England in Bristol United Kingdom.

Malaysia Hotel

We stayed in Malaysia Hotel when we were attending our son's convocation at USM. Located along Penang Road, the location and the room rate of Malaysia Hotel are not problems but the parking space is too limited.

Odeon Cinema

While walking along Penang Road, we were surprised to see this traditional cinema.

Traditional cinema has gradually phase out, Odeon seems to be an interesting exemption. Not certain this Odeon still operating in Penang nowadays.


Lousy Hotel

Our last visit to Penang was in 2009.

We were attending a wedding dinner during that visit and stayed in a lousy hotel in George Town. This hotel is under the management of a transnational corporation but the condition of the room we stayed was truly disappointing.
