[Videos] Famous Penang Air Itam Asam Laksa - Last Day during MCO, etc.

This video shows the struggles of Penang hawkers having to close down their long-term business going on for several generations during this difficult time of the Pandemic. It is hoped, with this video, awareness can be created to support our local heritage of hawkers' food stalls all over Penang, which is famous for its street foods.

The famous Penang Air Itam Laksa is not exempted from the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic due to poor patronage. Check out this video specially made today, which is the LAST day for the hawker. In its heyday, a Malaysian local favorite, the Penang Asam laksa, has put the country on the world culinary map by being listed among the top 10 best foods in the world on CNN.

According to Wikipedia, Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility, and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye.

Lesson 2 of Basic Excel 365 by Diana Tan

Here is another amateur lesson 2 on Excel 365 using Windows 10 operating system or platform. My apologies for the mistake: It should be 5 decimal PLACES; not 5 decimal points. Guess I was a little tired from watching so much Youtube and Zoom videos that I was looking at the decimal point and mentioned the wrong keyword instead. This was created using Camtasia and I hit the function key F10 to stop the recording immediately. The upload is automatic to Youtube for verification, and thereafter, I edited the thumbnail using a screenshot of my laptop with the green liquid that makes an awesome background. 💥💖💦

Now don't get me wrong. Being a Youtuber takes consistent effort and lots of time and energy. More and more people are jumping on this Youtubing bandwagon to leverage on the viewership during this Covid-19 lockdown. This is especially so, when you have limited budget and have to DIY (Do It Yourself). The beauty of DIY is that you have more control of what you need and know how to tweak the Youtube algorithm for more viewership and being found. Besides being a noob Youtuber, I have been a blogger for umpteenth years, earning a measly US dollars now and then from sponsored posts and such. With these said, I hope you like this blog post too and do watch the Excel 365 video specially curated here for your viewing pleasure and learning environment. 👩👧🧒

Stay safe at home, peeps! 😀😁😂

Basic Excel 365 Lesson by Diana Tan

Just don't laugh! Above is a basic Excel 365 lesson on Windows 10 by yours truly with a sexy hoarse voice! I used a screen recorder without adding any music since my sexy voice is a little soft. Here, I used Camtasia for the recording of which I paid for the installation and the software. I hope you guys and gals are enlightened and learned something new here. You see, I was an IT instructor in Informatics in Singapore for some time and I am very familiar with the older version of Windows with MS Office many years ago - teaching Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access. 👩👨🧑

Now in my line of work, I use Word and Excel very often, almost daily until today. These word processors and spreadsheets are very handy for a small company such as ours. So, it pays to learn the basics which I have picked up during my professional coaching to a class umpteenth years ago. I have picked up other skills too, such as blogging on a free platform here and also paid domain using Wordpress as well. Now, I am learning to be a Youtuber and hope to be a success someday. Pray that Google will not give me another Copyright strike as now I have 2 more chances. Should there be any warning, I will quickly remove any videos that infringe on the copyright or supposedly so. 💥💦💖

Google is the big boss and I am just but a small publisher and amateur Youtuber. You see, those earning lots of income from their channel/s are the big-timers who upload almost daily or even 6 times a day with the help of a team. While many are bogus, selling useless channels with paid subscribers for the first 3 days and none thereafter, you know it is not to waste your time and money on such cheap channel with only 6 videos and 1.2 subscribers. I believe some people join Matt Par's Facebook group to sell channels and show false statistics to unsuspecting Youtube newbies. I am a do-it-yourself person. Hence, I prefer to be able to have full control of what I do and call the shots. I am still learning day by day. 🧡💛💚💙💜

Obedient child shaving off his dad's hair with a Bowl to style it like a coconut in this Covid19 where you DIY! Funny

This removed video is an obedient child shaving off his dad's hair with a bowl to style it like a coconut in this Covid-19 where you DIY (Do-It-Yourself). See how meticulous he is and every strand is removed and styled carefully with tender loving care. He even shaved the loose ends and tidy up the hair to look perfectly like a coconut husk. Then the child uses a water strainer to shave off the longer stands of hair and it shows how ingenious this family is to use kitchen cooking tools and kits to cut one's hair with a stylo the FREE way. In this Covid-19, where some countries have lockdown, you cannot go out anymore and all barber shops are closed. This child is certainly a chip of the old block, the exact replica of his dad, hair and all. 👨‍🦱🤴🧔

Here is another shot of a monkey entitled, "I cut it myself." It is a hilarious reminder of the above video. I wonder if this is a pet monkey where the owner decided to have some fun or it is in its natural look and portrait in the wild. For yours truly, I am having a whale of a time updating my blogs and learnt new tricks along the way with my videos. I am still in the process of learning forever till thy kingdom comes.

For many people, they cannot take it during this strict lockdown of the novel coronavirus mayhem and start to go crazy. It seems 2 teenagers even took their own lives. How sad! That is why, "Man shall now live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." So, let's be good to ourselves, be kind to others especially our family and be safe staying at home. 😀😁😊

I created this poster using on an online app that is easy to customize with the template of the decos all done. I just added the text, edit for proper size and that's it. Easy peasy! ❤🧡💛 It is true that we need to "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and ALL these things will be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33 in the New Testament of the Bible. ✝✝✝💥💥💥

In this Covid-19 pandemic lock-down, I love what I do online and it has become a hobby. The best part is that I have the freedom to be creative and my artistic soul becomes awake. 💚💙💜

Blogging is simply the best job one could have. A note of caution though! Stay away from politics, grudges and personal matters. Then you are safe and it is safe for everyone to read. Nothing personal here!❣❣❣💢💢💢

Prepare and Prevent, rather than 

Repair and Repent!

Ok, peeps, I gotta go now to rest and take some online course when the will and determination arise. Been quite lazy these few days reading WhatsApp group messages instead of learning online for free, take a test and get a certificate!
