I think my cat is watching too much of that apprentice show on TV. Even with evidence clearly stacked against her for attempted murder, she said the dog is to be blamed. Despicable! Fortunately, the little minion didn’t hang around to chew on the evidence. He ran for dear life and escaped.
This cat is one of many strays I caught for my personal Catch-Neuter-Release project. After coming back from the vet, she refused to leave and adopted me.

I like images like this that mess with the brain’s perception of the horizon and reality. If you look at this with your phone turned 90 degree clockwise, it still kinda make sense.
Don’t try this stunt at home or anywhere else. This was world freestyle champion Eigo Sato and partner doing a 180-degree airbourne somersault. I was a former motocross racer and that made it a little easier anticipating their moves through the camera. This was only a mild stunt in Eigo Sato’s books. For a couple of his extreme aerial stunts, scroll down my timeline to around 47 to 48 weeks ago.
Eigo Sato died doing what he loved best. He succumbed to injuries while training for the 2013 Red Bull X-Fighters tour near his home in Iwaki City, Japan in February 2013.
R.I.P. Eigo Sato.

While many were sleeping, party people from the now defunct 11 L.A. Disco used to cross the river for this dream supper at 4 am. It was the original and the best “Roti Banjir Special” (Flooded Indian Pancake) in the business
Two soft-boiled eggs hovering gently over a shredded piece of roti canai (flour pancake) flooded with dahl (lentil bean stew) and topped off with a dash of spicy sambal (chilli condiment).
Always consistent, the eggs were perfect with the smooth whites tasting like custard and the runny yolk was delicately encased until you spill it to fuse with the rest. Heavenly!
The cooks I used to know have retired and gone back to India. The stall is still there though, popular as ever. They still serve the same Roti Banjir Special. Give it a try when you are shopping at the Midnight Pasar Ramadan in that area.
