INSIGHT CRIZ

It is nice to have some pets around the house to brighten up a person’s life but sometimes having one too many playful kittens around the house could be stressful, especially when they do not know how to stop having fun all the time. Well, what would you expect? If kittens are not playful, they would not come up with the term “as playful as a kitten” right? And I have six in the family, meaning six times more of cleaning up to do.

Would you believe that I had just swept the whole place barely 15 minutes ago and here they are tearing more bits and pieces out of their play boxes. Their hairs are also flying all over the house. It has always been that tiring cleaning up their mischievous acts on top of my heavy workloads. I could hardly have more than few minutes of non stress moments without ever thinking of the cleanliness of the house.

I think it is time that I get myself one of those Sebo vacuums on offer at the nearest departmental store. At least I do not have to use much energy to get the house fully clean up within the shortest period of time. It might just a great idea after all. I will surely get one first thing on Monday morning.

This week’s theme is on HIGH .
What would you do if you do not have HIGH flames during cooking?
You cannot get your food ready in HIGH time!

Here is a closer look at the HIGH temperature
emitted from the HIGH flames!

This week’s theme is on WOODEN.
I took this shot during the Chinese New Year Street Celebration.
This is one of the stage display set up by the Penang Hokkien Association.
The backdrop depicted how a Chinese kitchen will look like in the olden days.
Other than the WOODEN logs they used as burner for cooking,
you can also see WOODEN walls, WOODEN shelves, WOODEN stools, WOODEN chopboard and also WOODEN pails, etc.
Rattan baskets are also one of the main kitchen wares used for steaming delicious mantou (buns) and meats.

This week’s theme is on FREE.
I took this shot through a window towards the roof top
where there are quite a lot of swallows flying about in the morning.
Unfortunately, there are only a few photos that can be used
out of hundreds that had been taken.

This is my interpretation of FREE … as in FREEDOM!
As FREE as a bird!

This week’s theme is on HEAVY.
I took this shot during one of the Chinese Opera show where all the actors and actresses will dressed up in traditional costume.
What could be heavier than their HEAVY makeup?
The makeup is so HEAVY that even the spotlight would not reflect any light
on the surface that they had applied.
