<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last weekend, I had visited to Taiping with my family. Taiping is a developing town which offers an abundance of nature activities courtesy of its landscape - centuries-old rain forests, cooling waterfalls and dramatic mountains that include Maxwell Hill - the oldest colonial hill station in Malaysia, now known as 'Bukit Larut'. Lake garden is also one of Taiping's iconic attractions, the largest park of its kind in the country. There are many historical buildings and heritage landmarks from the colonial era can be observed in the town as the British once used Taiping as the state administrative center.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ingredients:</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">300 g of self-raising flour</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tablespoons of white sugar</span></li>

</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Method:</span></u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Place flour, sugar and eggs into a bowl and whisk together while adding milk at a little at a time until all ingredients are incorporated.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pour the cake mixture into the bowl of rice cooker and set the rice cooker to cook.

<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">* <i>Take note:</i></span></b></div>
</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Don't open the lid of the rice cooker while it is cooking. It is just like opening the oven when you are cooking the cake. It will let all of the heat out. </span> </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Literally, this expression means that if someone is looking for a book to buy and read, the first thing that will probably grab their attention is the cover of the book. Based solely on the cover, a person may decide whether a book is or is not for them. As a result, they may overlook a book simply because of the cover appears plain or uninteresting to them. However, if the person would have open the book and look at what is inside instead of overlooking it, they may have found it to be pretty interesting after all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This phrase also applied to people. People should not form an opinion on someone or something based purely on what is seen on the surface, because after taking a deeper look, the person or thing may be different that what was expected. People usually judge solely based on their outward appearance. However, if one were to get to know the person and see what is inside, 'opening' the person up, so to speak, then that one may be pleasantly surprised to find that the person is different to how they imagined. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The video showed the shop owner would constantly hurt the homeless guy, shout at him, and chase him away. It was happened every day. However, the homeless guy still slept in front of the shop. Until one day, the homeless guy never returned. When the shop owner checked his CCTV, he found that something important, but it is too late to realize its relevance.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sungai Petani is just about 40 km from Penang. Sungai Petani is the largest town in the state of Kedah Darul Aman. Along with the development of in Sungai Petani, some of the art lovers put their efforts to beautify the city by drawing some murals and street arts in the old streets.
