Green Granny

I was watching Biz@502 (Bernama TV) today and at the end of the half-an-hour program, the presenter mentioned a mervelous job done by a granny, Barbara Warmsley in giving tips on how to save money that would consequently enable you to live better.

She normally greets you like this:

"Hello - I'm Barbara, your Green Granny. I'm here to share a tip or two about how you can save cash and live better."

BTW, all her tips are on video, you can find them at YouTube.

I've seen many of the videos and find them full of practical ways to make the most of what you buy. With the economic glooms currently filling the news it is certainly clear that being thrifty and saving for a rainy day are the obvious things that we want to do.

For me, the best bit about all of this is that you get to do your bit for the planet and save some cash at the same time.

You can watch her here.

Good luck!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Federer

My all time favourite tennis player, Roger Federer wrote this in his website:

"Earlier today, in my hometown of Basel, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married. It was a beautiful spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Federer wish all of you a Happy Easter weekend. Love, Roger"

Roger Federer and Miroslava Vavrinec (Mirka) first met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. At that time Mirka was herself a Women's Tennis Association player, and there's where the love story started between them. In March 2009, Roger announced in a post on his website that he and Mirka will welcome their baby later this summer.

Many many congratulations to both of you Roger & Mirka, wishing you all the very best in your life together!!

Visitors?? at Salut Seafood Restaurant

The restaurant is about 20 minutes driving from Kota Kinabalu and is also accessible by sea, well, that is if you have jetski or boat to add thrill to your seafood endeavour. You can get just about everything from shell foods but a bit limited in fish selections.

You can see this giant clam shell at the entrance but not really sure if any of the patron actually consumed them. Hmmm...

If you are regular diner at Salut Seafood Restaurant, chances are you would be joined by fellow diners who travel via road. That afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to see a convoy of 10 private water crafts (PWC). They came all the way from Miri Sarawak and dock right infront of the restaurant jetty.




Some of the PWCs of the faraway diners. We have Yamaha WaveRunners, Kawasaki JetSkies but I did not notice any Bombardier?

One for the album. Preparing to leave now.

Mr. Convoy Leader reminded everyone of the shallow water on the left of where he is standing.

Some macho poses by the convoy participants:

"Okay, see ya! We will definately come back"

Dia ni lah yang paling friendly! Wanted his pics taken again and again..heheh

He said "Thank you, it was a very good reception and good services". Errr...did not really catch what he meant by the two last words.

And a showtime before they eventually headed for Kota Kinabalu:

Some circling circus, play catching, and whale-water-fountain actions.

Adios! See ya.
