Looks like another day of rains and floods in the capital. Bummer. I’ve been thinking of some ways to beat the blues and maybe make some money…
- Put out as many empty mineral water bottles in the rain until they are full, seal them, label them with some expensive sounding name like ‘SkyJuice‘ or ‘La Rain Naturale‘, and sell them. For RM3.80 per bottle. If you sell them at a low price, people will think its some cheap brand with tap water.
- Buy a boat / sampan / 2nd-hand cruise liner and start a low-cost river ferry service along the Klang River for office workers to beat the jam. Quicker commute, plus you get to enjoy the beautiful river scenes and animals.
- Put on saffron robes, ruffle up your hair, go stand at the busy street corner under an umbrella in the pouring rain. Put a bowl in front of you for people to toss money in. Then keep shouting “donate money to me, and i will beseech the rain gods to stop this punishment of precipitation upon us!!! RM5 per prayer! The end is near!”
- When there is a 3-hour standstill traffic jam in the city, collect empty mineral water bottle, put on a raincoat, and go round to all the cars stuck in the jam and sell he bottles as pee-pots (but don’t use the same bottles again for item 1 above…)
- Give cheap swimming lessons in the pool that appeared on the NKVE.
Got any other ideas?

The rain really gets to you,huh? But it is still freaking hot here in Penang!!!!!
Maybe record the rain pitter-patter sound, upload to your blog and ask Penang people to pay 20 cents per minute to listen to it?

– when it rains, sell umbrellas outside popular shopping complexes.
– good time to promote and sell cloth dryers
– or sell tour tickets to bahamas, hawaii etc. anywhere with sunshine!
