Happy New Year to all

The wining and dining delayed the publication of the January issue of The Penang File but squeezing in an hour here and an hour there I finally got it out on January 1, a day late. I was glad to come back to this blog to report that I noticed on my last visit to Pulau Tikus I saw that the row of terrace houses opposite the flat in which I lived until 2 years ago were now shops with signboards as SUN DECOR, STYCE, STAR STYLE STUDIO, SKINTOLOGISTS. Was I glad I got away from Pualu Tikus which is gradually being illegally converted into commercial from residential houses, and the City Council does not seem to enforce the zoning laws. Skintologists!!!
