Older Dads, Lower IQ..

Came across this very amusing study.. :-p
Its going to be rock!!!



The Star Newspaper published this at Sunday Quick Study column
First thing come to my mind... these pple really free.. !!!! LOL

Abstract from StraitTimes

"CHILDREN of older fathers appear to perform less well in intelligence tests during infancy and childhood.....
In contrast, the study found that children with older mothers tended to gain higher scores in the same tests designed to measure the ability to think and reason, including concentration, learning, memory, speaking and reading skills...
"

The 2nd statement, make me think is this the reason Madonna ditch the old one and get the younger brazillian? *wink*
Relatively, in current society also has seen switching in courting age..
And that make up to 13 years old Alfie become youngest father last month..
be amused..

Anyway some light news though..or i would say a more balance way to compliment about the finding of older fathers.. :-p

"the research data was taken of children who born between 1959 and 1965 in US which also meant father were grew up since year 1910s. They are talking about father at the age of probably late 40" detail....

So people MAY question the relevancy when it translated to current "era"... :-)
Where the thinking, living standard, and society have been so different...

Cheers...

I asked "Itu apa?"
Kid: "Oblong"
"hot long?"
"Oblong, style baru.. ini burger mcDonald.."
"oooo... i c..oblong " i read it from their advertisement in front of the stall..
Yes it definitely looks like the prosperity burger..

It actually more juicy.. they are not stingy on the sauce..

WY:"bu-yun?!" (补孕 == pregnant lady take chinese herb to improve health)
SL: "Yes.."

after a moment later...
WY: "LY bu-yun???"

I really a bit puzzle.
As I know LY is (still) single...

SL:"Yes her mother help her to bu-yun"
SL explained futher "they got 'ban-tang' bu-yun cannot go.. later 'chong'"

full face of puzzle now...

I started to think.. think hard...
recalled hard if i have missed any info.I cant.

WY: "LY 'bu-yun'??"

SL started to feel funny on me..
SL:'Yes her mother went to help her bai-bai (prayer) bu-yun'

I started to get something..

http://bali-losmen.com/
No... i don know jap.



Out of curiousity & for better understanding i tried to get this translated ...




The room of 2F becomes 2 stories inside and is, It is a double bed in 1F (in other words, 2F), In 2F (it is said with 3F) a single bed It is put. Anyway, all is gorgeous, It is Rp. in this150.000 is low!

Room number 5 Room Rp. of 1F100.000 An H shower, a bathtub A room (2 stories) of 2F) Rp.150.000 An H shower, a bathtub, a refrigerator There is road TAX according to / with the breakfast


translated from web babylon translator..

hahaha.... "The room of 2F become 2 stories inside...." ??
Road Tax according to the breakfast? LOL.......
well i think the main point is no matter how 150Krp is low! RLOL
 
and when i asked a couple of my frens to get it translated.. they come back with almost similar 'languages'... my my.... :-)

Personally i think what it trying to say is: 2 stories buidling with double bed rooms at 1F and single bed rooms on 2nd floor total is 5 rooms.Hot shower room is at 1F with price of 100Krp and 2F rooms come with bathtub and hot shower and refrigerator with 150K. Anyway, all is gorgeous, It is Rp. at this150.000 is low!
hahahaa...

just for a laugh...

Drive through Apong Guan

Apong is a type of food. A pancake like.

Penang has a 'very' famous apong selling at Jalan Burmah just beside Union Primary school. and you can place order through phone 016-4093701 or drive through...
but sorry.. no delivery service..

The first time i passed by here was last year when i was hunting for some food for my tea break at 5pm and it caught my attention with the crowd.
Then I was being informed that i need to wait very long...
I was a bit stunned. The uncle can make 8 pieces at one time..
so how long could it be?
With small apetite i have,
i said ok i can wait patiently.. I just need 3.

but then soon i learnt the 'longness' when the next customer came to order..
the car along the curb were the customer waiting in line for their order...
and each of them were ordering like 20,50,10,60 pcs and so...
so imagine i was waiting the uncle to make more than 150 of apong then only it will reach for my turn.. which is only 3 i needed..
so that's long, very long...
and i was hungry...

interesting enuff is...
there is another apom stall just few steps down the road...
and it was sorta crowded with cars in front of the stall..
but those were not his customers.. :-)
since i was hungry..
i decided not to wait and to have the apong from the next door..

so..yesterday i got the chance to revisit Ah Guan's Apong..

Apong Guan

Apong

Guan Making Apong

Very nice aunty...



Apom
inside the apong, uncle guan will put 2 small slices of banana and small portion of corn..

mmm.. so how i felt about the apong?
I am not fancy about this apong.
in fact this is the 2nd time i have it..
i would said.. it smell good..
taste smooth in the mouth
the banana taste is strong as compare with the corn..
it is very soft..
my fren who like apong said it tasted different compare to normal one.

BTW, a side note, ... ApOng got a 'funny' meaning in penang... :-)
just like 'kuih' it can mean something different while you talk in Hokkien in Penang...
