Yes they do and Pasha is no different… Take a look at these pictures and you would agree with me…

First picture - Nature’s call! We were on the way from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Lipis fighting through the traffic jam along the Karak Highway during the CNY break. Suddenly, Pasha said:

“Mama, Pasha mau ek ek”

If he already asked to go, we’d better not wait any longer. I found an exit and drove into it. He went into position and then he got distracted by the stick I was holding to chase some monkeys away… Yeah! there were monkeys there… Eventually, he abandoned the whole idea….

We drove on to the next proper rest area and he did his business there…

The next two pictures – Stickers Time! Location: Grandma’s house. Mama Pasha bought him a book full of stickers. It took him quite sometimes to figure out how to peel the sticker off the book. When he finally did, just look at the results. Hancus….

Last picture – Safety First! Here is Pasha riding the shopping trolley at Tesco Shah Alam. I gave him that blue whatchamacallit thing… I tried it on his head and he loved it. He wore that around for a couple of minutes before he got tired of adjusting it as it was a bit too big for his head…

He dropped it once he got his hands on those ice that they used to put the fresh meat. fish, chicken and prawns on… Well, it was within his reach since he was sitting in that trolley…

He even picked up some prawns for me…

Do You Want Fries With That?

That would be one of the most asked questions at some fast food restaurants but that would not be the case if you are buying something to eat at the Machap rest area. Over there, the question would be: “Do you want flies with that?”

If you are travelling between Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru on the NSE, you would not miss a rest area called the Machap R&R. Last week, while driving back from Johor Bahru to Shah Alam, we had the “luxury” of stopping over for a short break at this rest area . From the car, everything looked great as the rest area was recently renovated by PLUS.

They Are Everywhere!

However, once I stepped out of the car and went to one of the stalls there, I was greeted by hundreds of flies. While the few hundred of them were doing the welcome to rest area Machap song, there were few thousands other flies were busy “promoting” the food and goods for sale to travellers… What a sight!

I went to the upper portion of the rest area. The automatic escalator was impressive and once I reached the top floor, I saw the whole eating place was sealed by glass walls. I thought that was a noble idea to ensure that the flies stay out while people are eating inside…

Let’s Do Some Maths

Well, it did not really 100% work as there were thousands of flies queueing up on the glass walls and doors waiting to enter the area. Imagine this:

1000 flies waiting to enter the eating area. If one person open the glass door to enter, and1% of the flies would take the opportunity to sneak in. There would be 10 flies per person. If 100 people went in, there would be about 1000 flies and each person that goes in must come out and that would mean at least 2000 flies in there…

They Can See You

With that, you can imagine that whatever you order in there, flies are complimentary… Not bad for a free source of protein ha! At the same time, you would get to experience a scenario that is normally common in some sci-fi movies and in this case, you would be trapped in a glass enclosure surrounded by thousands of flies staring with their compound eyes… Would you still eat there? Some people did but no way for me…

Blame It On The Chickens

I talked to one of the sellers there and I was told that there are some chicken farms nearby and things would get extremely bad during the rainy seasons and there was no way to get rid of the flies…

Luckily my son was asleep and therefore, he stayed in the car with my wife… If not he would have a freaking time chasing after the flies and my wife would have been having a busy time wiping his hands and feet shoes…

So, the next time when you drive on the NSE, look out for Machap rest area and stop to look at the wonder of the flies.

P/S:

There was a fly in our car a day after we came back and looking at the size, it must have followed us back from Machap…

Japanese are well known for being innovative and it is proven by their ability to come up with many things based on what people have invented earlier. Now they have come up with another brand new stuff that has become a hot seller online in Japan. Believe it or not, they have invented bras for men!

These are mainly targeted to the cross dressing-men but since it is sold online, I would not be surprised that even straight men would be buying it. May be for the fun of it or just out of curiosity. The item is being sold online at Rakuten, a major Japanese web shopping mall.

So, if you are interested to buy one, you can go the website but make sure you are able to translate it as the website is in Japanese so that you would not be buying something else… By the way, it is not that expensive to get one. You only need to pay about $30 per pair.

Anyway, here are some quotes from the news:

“I like this tight feeling. It feels good,” Wishroom representative Masayuki Tsuchiya told Reuters as he modeled the bra, which can be worn discreetly under men’s clothing.

“I think more and more men are becoming interested in bras. Since we launched the men’s bra, we’ve been getting feedback from customers saying ‘wow, we’d been waiting for this for such a long time’,” – Wishroom Executive Director Akiko Okunomiya

I wonder what will come up next?

So now who said that bras are only for women? Now husband and wife, and friends can shop for bras together…
