Minang is 'Minangkabau', a clan in Sumatra. The clan has a symbiotic relationship with the buffalo, or 'kerbau' in Malay or 'korobau' or 'kobau' in the Minang dialect. 'Minangkabau' is derived from 'menang kerbau' -- win buffalo. The Sumatran clans pitch their buffalos against each other, and the Minangs have the reputation of having the fastest buffalos in Sumatra. This blog isn't much use to anyone else though. There are no revelations and no discussions -- just a Minang's folly.

CNY trip to Pulau Kapas, Terengganu
It's the CNY holidays and we took advantage of that for a trip to Terengganu thanks to Dato Halim and Walis.
Left KL on Wednesday night Feb 6 and got back Feb 10. It was a 7-hour drive though.
