No global warming

Today it was so cold that my steaming hot Milo had turned into Cold Milo. That's how cold it could be.

A Whitbread First Novel Prize Winner In Our Midst

Not bad for a Malaysian to have achieved such an honour.
The author Tash Aw was born in Taiwan, grew up in Malaysia but now based in London.
The story was built around the towns we are familiar of..Ipoh, Kampar, Sungai Siput, Teluk Anson..judging from the success of this novel, these names were made known throughout the world. The way of life depicted in the book was simple yet engaging, reminiscing of times when my grandmother's stories when I grew up. Poignant and beautifully written in simple English, this book is definitely worth reading.

A worldwide phenomenon- Da Vinci Code

Having read the book, now I know why it is a mega bestseller, 40 million copies sold since its publication in 2003, more or less made its author Dan Brown a multi millionaire.
The content of the book is controversially sensational, sensationally controversial. Never would I expected that it contained so much believable information ( even though it is fiction). The chase drama is something , A Matter of Honour by Jeffrey Archer and the Search for the Holy Grail is definitely something like Indiana Jones , Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade.
A wonderful reading indeed. There is a picture of the last supper, see the arrow pointing to a feminine figure, that could be Mary Magdalene sitting together with the Apostles. I have not noticed 'her' in the picture before.

Fuel Consumption

Today, I realised that my odometer showing the second last bar when I hit 406kms. This means that it will start blinking at 470km. It was the lowest in three months.

Usually, the mileage will go until 440km at the second last bar, and it starts blinking at 490km-500km. Fuel consumption has shrunk by 3okm.
The last time I had this experience was right after I sent this car for servicing. That's strange!
Wondering if I need to send my car for some clinical observation.
