Just in case

I was at one of the kiosks at Melaka Sentral. As I was browsing through the interesting items sold, this gadget caught my attention. Do you know what it is?

It's a mini MONEY DETECTOR, made-in-China thing. According to the towkay,"Oh orang JPJ banyak beli sama saya oh. Bila dia orang buat operasi, mau cek IC., dia guna inilah. Mari saya tunjuk awak." So he demonstrated how the gadget works. He made the LED light shone on the IC card. "Tengok kita punya kad ada dua gambar (the hidden one) dan ada lagi satu baris No kad IC (also hidden)".The hidden picture and No. lighted up. I didn't know that! So the officers can check counterfeit ID. "Dan boleh juga check duit (counterfeit notes) palsu. Tengok saya tunjuk. Duit betul ada banyak line-line putih putus-putis, kalau palsu tak ada." If it is real money,(in case oh Malaysian currency) you can see some staggered white lines. This I must check. Betul ke? This MONEY DETECTOR is also designed as a key chain.

Out of curiosity, I bought one. Went home and started to check some notes,real or counterfeit? Found a crispy RM5 without the staggered white lines. Eh, biar betu!!

It's raining, raining.Alhamdulillah...syukur...hujan di bandar Melaka, setelah panas, kering beberapa hari. Walaupun tak lebat, dan ada cahaya matahari petang pula tu, tapi basah jugalah bumi. Tak perlu siram pokok pasu ku.
