Uninvited Guest



I was eating fried chicken when this fellow dropped by. It looked at me and decided to join in. Take a closer look at the last photo. See how fly "eats". Flies cannot chew. They have to suck up their food. Flies have mouth parts that absorb food like a sponge. Their food has to be in a liquid form in order for them to eat it. They have a tongue shaped like a drinking straw to slurp up their meals. Flies that eat nectar or blood do so by using their tongue which is called a proboscis. Even flies that eat other insects do so by sucking out the insides of their victims. When a housefly lands on our food, it vomits on the food. The digestive juices, enzymes, and saliva in the vomit begin to break down and dissolve the food. The fly can then suck up the liquid food with its sponge-like mouth parts and its proboscis. If flies eat food from garbage cans or any other source of germy food, some of those germs stick to the fly's mouthparts and when the fly vomits on its next snack, it transfers some of those germs.
I wish I had a macro lens!

The Petronas Twin Towers

The 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers, developed as an integral part of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) project, house Petronas' new corporate headquarters. The Petronas Twin Towers rise like sentinels in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Costing a whopping USD 1.2 billion and uniquely designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, it rises to 1,483ft (451.9m) in height and is all of 33ft higher than the Sears Tower.

Taking Over

Kuan Yin Teng, or Temple of the Goddess of Mercy, is one of the most important temples in Penang. Officially known as Kong Hock Keong, it is located along Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, formerly Pitt Street, and is one of the oldest Chinese temples in George Town. If you study the history of the Goddess of Mercy Temple, you would be surprised to learn that at the time it was built, it was not dedicated to Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, but rather to Ma Chor Po, the patron saint of seafarers.

Take Me To India

India House is a double-storey building in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. It is located on the corner of Beach Street and Church Street Ghaut, and carries an address on both streets. It was built in 1937 in the Indian Art Deco style, by S.N.A.S Sockalingam Chettiar. Today it appears a bit worn down, but when it was first built, it was the highest assessment payer along expensive Beach Street.

Deep Into You

What is this dog thinking? I saw this puppy grew into a beautiful dog. He was separated from his brother, however the Mother is still around.

Extreme Exercise

I was taking photos around my neighbourhood when this cat came and purred. I think it wanted me to take her back. She started to "seduce" me with her stretching :-) Can you see her paws? Look at her body, so long.
