The other day I decided to drop by this new shopping mall somewhere in KL. Shopping malls tend to be the same all over the Klang Valley, with the same franchise shops repeated everywhere. But this one had a family arcade. So while my kids knocked themselves out on the cheesy rides and games (here’s the trick – you don’t tell them that you need the token for it to work), Simon was let loose on his digital camera… It’s interesting what you can see in a kiddie amusement arcade, especially when you’re bored.

Seen it (No pun intended) – okay fine, no other superhero has that, except those guys…

For most of the ‘I support England’ girls I know, it must be heartbreaking to see the Three Lions lose, especially to less than good looking Portugal (‘aiyah, only that Luis Figo look handsome, but so old already, the rest all look like kheh-leh-feh, one…’).
