    TIL Province Wellesley (Seberang Prai) was named after the guy who later became Duke of Wellington, the guy who defeated Napoleon.

    And it was not random, he and a boatload of soldiers stopped at Penang while on a naval mission.

    I figure only nerds know this but back when Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat was a Suruhanjaya, its acronym SPAD was actually very ironic because its also the acronym for when trains run the red light: signal passed at danger.

    I started collecting Naruto Kayou cards, a bit late since the community in FB also starts fading with many retiring. I’ll post pictures of my first box tomorrow after I’m done with my chores :)
