So....how was your day?

Christmas is near.

Its already mid- November and we all know that Christmas is just about a month + 10 days away.

We don't really have to note this down as we are all reminded of this festive day every where we go.

Even at Starbucks.

Notice the snowflakes printed on the cup?

Again Starbucks have re-introduced their Christmas menu as the festive season draws near.

I had the Toffee Nut Frappucino a few weeks back but that is nothing new really. They have that last year as well. Missed those toffee nuts which is sprinkled on top of the whipped cream of the ice blended drink.

This time, i got the Dark Cherry Mocha Frappucino. The lovely Barista who as tending the register there recommended this drink. I was initially opting for a Caramel Marchiatto; well they are trying to promote these newer drinks on the menu. Did i mention that the barista was lovely? lol

The drink did not dissappoint..
Its basically a Mocha Frappucino, made using dark chocolate and a hint of cherry flavor as you drink it. Topped with whipped cream sprinkled with chocolate powder. Wonder if we could request for some additional chocolate syrup to go with it.

In the end, it tasted great.

Penang CheeCheongFun in PJ

Its at Paramount actually. I was around the area, for some apparent reason which i don't really recall, looking for some breakfast. As i passed the coffeshop ( i did not get the name) which is opposite the Caltex petrol station. It is the one at the same row as Alif College in Paramount Garden, PJ. This area seem to have a lot of good food.

There are plenty to choose from but this stall caughy my eye with their serving of Penang Chee Cheong Fun (CCF).

For those who may not know, Penang CCF is not different from the regular KL CCF; commonly served with sweet sauce, chilli; for some, a dash of soy sauce; and sprinkle on some sesame seeds and fried shallots. Penang CCF had all that plus a dash of prawn paste or " Har Kou"; which is more commonly taken with Assam Laksa. Besides this, you can have curry instead.

It was priced reasonably i guess at RM1.80 for a small helping and RM2.20 for a big one.

CCF alone is not enough? Get some Yong Tau Foo while you're at it for RM0.80 per piece. Its not the same store as the one selling the CCF but all in the same coffeeshop.

Those may not know, Yong Tau Foo is basically tofu, bean curd and some veggies; commonly chili, bitter gourd, ladies fingers; stuffed with fish paste.


A combination of both plus a glass of iced tea makes a great meal.


For me at least..

Photoshop?

I saw this over at lowyat.net.

Ever wondered how photoshop would look like if its not on the computer screen?
Apparently, some dudes over in Indonesia did and this is what they came out with.



Cool eh?
Now even those who cant afford the license to photoshop or lack the 'resources' can crop and layer their designs..

Wonder what is the size of the paint brush for those finer points

TigerFC Big Away Game

Tiger FC members and football fans alike will sure be aware of the match this weekend.


Tiger FC are organizing a big screen viewing at Republic, Sunway Pyramid during the live telecast of this match which is one of the biggest in the BPL calender.

Match starts 8:45pm; party starts 7:30pm
It happens on the 8th of November

Will the Devils get Gunned down or will the Devils overcome the Gunners?

Republic, Sunway Pyramid is the place to be this weekend.

Tiger FC members get a bottle of Tiger on the house.

And the final result is....


Samir Nasri got 2 goals and Rafael got 1 back for United

Its a PENALTY??

Anyone watched the Liverpool- Atletico Madrid game?
Despite the fact Maxi Rodriguez scored a superb goal, its was worth nothing, maybe a point, thanks to a certain Martin Hansson.
Pernia went for an aerial ball when Gerrard ran into him; thus reason enough for the ref to give a penalty. Really? It may warrant a foul outside the box ( note: MAY) and its deifnitely not a penalty.

The result? Liverpool saved off their blushes and Madrid lost 2 points. Heres what a poll on soccernet says


21% are most likely Liverpool fans.

Overall a bad night for english clubs. Arsenal and MU drew their matches and Chelsea got hammered at Rome.

Del Piero single handedly kicked Real Madrid's ass; in 2 games.

I came across this little article in lowyat.net.

We all know Italy are well known, apart from their football, food and scenery; for the sports cars. When one think of Italy's car the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maseratti comes to mind. This is their 'local' cars when we have the likes of Wira-lutions or Kanci-lutions around here. This big boys would rule the roads there. Driving in one of these


would be great. Don't you think? Thats a Lamborghini Gallardo by the way.

Well.....think again. You wont want one of these chasing you around there...




This big boys, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is being used by the cops in Italy, and it comes fully equiped with all sorts of equipments a cop needs.


Now...outrun that!!!!

As for me, i should be visiting from machas for this occasion and to down some Indian delicacies. This day also means holiday. Yay!!!

So again, happy deepavali!!!!

Prices changes affects everything

Picking up from earlier this year, petrol prices rose from RM1.92/liter to RM2.70/liter; and everyone of us have something to say about it. When it was announced, everyone made their way for their last drops of RM1.92/liters. Petrol station kiosk even closed earlier to make additional profit from that hike.

Subsequently we see other good gone up in price as well, rice, sugar just to name a few. With that prices of food too increased from the usual RM3.50 for a bowl of noodles to RM4.50 for the same bowl, with reduced ingredients as in the meat balls are smaller or the portion are slightly less.

With that in place, certain staff from certain organizations requested demanded for a 100% pay rise just to keep up with the hike. The management have them a 20% raise and they threatened to go on strike. TNB as well look to increase the charges for electricity usage as they claimed that the generators are diesel powered. We all know how much the price of diesel had increased so we kinda accepted it.

Then came the Budget where the government announced that electricity subsidy will be give to usages below RM20. Who uses less than RM20 worth of electricity nowadays, unless you live in the village with nothing electricity powered but the light bulb. Bad times indeed.

Then the good news came. Our government decided to form a committee with only those who mattered to discuss about the prices or petrol subsidies. Thus the price dropped from RM2.70 to RM2.55 then to RM2.45 and now we can get it for RM2.30/ liter. Not many people complained. However this was promised as we opt to follow the global pricing of petroleum which now saw the prices of crude oil plummeted to about 70USD per barrel.

But lowering petrol prices don't seem to bring back down the prices of goods out there, namely food. Before the hike, i can have a bowl of fish head noodles for RM5. since then it rose to RM6 and now its like RM6.50. This was as the price of petrol went down.

Thats a smaller matter. TNB raised their charges due to petrol price hike. Its acceptable. However, as the price of fuel dropped, we are yet to see the price of electricity reduced; and now the claimed that the generators are powered using coal instead of diesel? So prices of petroluem don't really affect them? Then why the sharp price increase then?

Apparently the connection of Streamyx has been deteroirating recently. Don't even bother to call them as they will just blame your PC or your router. In fact, im not the alone in the matter; as in slow internet connection? Well, it was slow before, now it is just slower. Does their servers or equipment run on diesel as well? They have to lower the performance of their equipment so it consume less power?

Everything increase but our pay dont seem to keep up with it...

Petaurus breviceps

That means, sugar glider by the way.

I'm considering to have one or maybe a pair as pets. Still doing my reading and research on how to properly care and breed them thou. Prices wise, it still going to be quite heavy on the wallet and they do need a big space to house them.

Maybe not too soon but surely in the near future. Any breeders selling them cheap?

Jaded, tired and aches here and there....

This post is nothing more than a rant just to help me fill up my time in office now. Its lunch time, i had an earlier one thus now i am back and my seat typing thins while everyone else is out.....

My shoulder is aching as well as my legs. Probably from the work out i did last Wednesday. Why did it not ache yesterday? Well it did but not as bad. Because of this, i feel tired, jaded and seriously have no mood to work given my physical condition as well as certain aspects which surrounds me.

Something seems to be missing. I'd say i know what is that but its safe to say that i don't know what is it too. Damn, even my thoughts are giving away now...Well, nothing can be done now except to bide my time and wait. Lets not jump to certain conclusions, you might have it right. A part of it is down to my work and the other part is something more...um... personal? ( thou i'm guessing some might know....)

I'M MISSING YOU BADLY!!!!!!

There i said it..and this feeling is affecting me badly....
sigh~

On a lighter and more cheerful note, my planned escapade to Bali is more or less completed in terms of the costings and date. Now all that's left is the people tagging along. I guess its save to say i have 4 including myself but will most likely stretch it up to 6 or 7. Hope to get it done by December thou. Any takers?

Lets all go to Jalan Kejora for a meal....

And to most tourist or those many non-KL people, they will be like " WHAT!!" or "WHERE THE HELL IS THAT!!!!"

Well, the Jalan Alor we know and love is being changed (silently)...

From this....to

'Venus street"

Yea, as we all know of late, our beloved City Hall decided to rename the fondly known and famous Jalan Alor to Jalan Kejora ( Venus). Reason why? Well, it HAS to be of the same theme as the other roads around that area, the outer space theme; as its located at Bukit Bintang, according to some ' Rocket Scientist". Needless to say, everyone are against that move, from the vendors to tourist who visit that area to sample the delicacies that are available there.
The Malay Mail (22/10/08) interviewed one Aussie tourist regarding this matter and he responded and i qoute,

"Malaysia is so modern that the lonely planet guide book that i have is already outdated."

Most tourist who visits KL will definitely make a trip to Jalan Alor, making it a tourist attraction just by the name itself. Even a nasi lemak store there named itself with Alor in its sign; and the reception was great.

They even dare to comment that this name change will ease the work of the postmen or policemen who serves the area. So it is easier to adapt to a new name compared to a well-known name for the past 30 years? They do not even bother to consult the vendors or the public about this decision before making the change. If this stays, we can kiss goodbye to one of the, you might argue, internationally known name here. One might wonder, do they even think of this for the long term?

We might as well rename Alor Setar to Kejora Bintang as we all know Alor = Kejora and Setar sounds too english ( Star) and be replaced with Bintang.

On another note, some genius apparently decided the remove or decommissioned the police post in Chow Kit as the crime rate there is too high and will endanger the policemen. Isn't that reason enough to beef up the security there rather than decommissioning it? Genius!!!!

Don't we love our government?
