Ask for Milo Ais and Sky Juice

@ndy    News    

We heard about a Mamak Restaurant in Terengganu sells a glass of Milo Ais for RM1.80 and given a compound RM22,500 by the KPDNHEP. But now in Miri, they’re selling the drink for RM2 a glass! What a joke.

Via Utusan Malaysia (Malay)

MIRI 30 Mei – Bahagian Penguat Kuasa Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDNHEP) Cawangan Miri mengesan terdapat peniaga menjual segelas Milo ais sehingga RM2 dan ini merupakan harga tertinggi pernah dilaporkan setakat ini.

Heh. The most expensive price reported.

Public toilet in Malaysia will cost you around 30 – 50 cents per entry. But in Jelebu, the Sky Juice (air kosong) cost you 40 cents. Hmmm.

Also via Utusan Malaysia (Malay)

SEREMBAN 30 Mei – Percaya atau tidak, air suam yang dijual di sebuah kedai makan di Kuala Klawang, Jelebu berharga 40 sen segelas?

Tetapi begitulah dakwaan Presiden Persatuan Pengguna Negeri Sembilan (Nesca), Khairuddin Yunos yang mendedahkan perkara itu selepas mendakwa memperoleh maklumat daripada seorang pemanggil yang membuat aduan kepada pihaknya.

So, the 35% increment has changed the attitude of our ‘business-minded’ people.

So how now? Give them compound? Enough?

The rumours is over. So what now? The deal is already confirmed.

Via TechCrunch

Rumors about Google acquiring RSS management company Feedburner from last week, started by ex-TechCrunch UK editor Sam Sethi, are accurate and are now confirmed according to a source close to the deal. Feedburner is in the closing stages of being acquired by Google for around $100 million.

FeedBurner is a well known leading provider of media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs and RSS feeds. Well, I guess this will be a smart move for Google.

My New Baby RBX270

@ndy    Life Log    

Almost a week, no updates. I was so busy with few ‘high priority’ task and I’ve just submitted 2 of my pending work minutes ago. So now I can smell freedom. A bit. Yeah.

I have good news! I bought a 4-string bass guitar last Sunday.. yay! After waiting for so long (due to financial illness), finally got my baby RBX270 from Yamaha even though I was planning to get an RBX374 which is above my budget. Maybe I’ll get better one next time, after getting more serious in playing funky thingy. Seriously, I’m quite happy with this RBX270. With split and single coil bar pickups, the bass able to produce awesome tones and sounds compared to others within the same range. Hey, not bad. There are 3 knobs for pickups control: Master Volume, Master Tone and Pickups Balance. Oh.. I will get a bass amp next month.. can’t wait anymore.

Wooo.. Yamaha mari.

The Metallic Mist Raspberry on the body making it even sexier..

This is only the beginning..

1300 13 1300, Can You Read Me?

@ndy    Food, Life Log    

Roger.. Roger.. and Out.

Now it’s almost 3.30am. Still awake. I just had my ‘heavy’ breakfast. Thank God the McDelivery guy managed to find my house after I waited for nearly one hour.

It was raining outside when my tummy started to play a medley speed metal dangdut. Yea I know, the only way to stop this is to sleep. But i’m not going to do that until I finished the second phase. Still got a lil’ bit more work to be completed.

So, I dialed 1300 13 1300.

Tadaaa..! McValue Meal (Big Mac, Fries & Diet Coke) + 2 Pies (Banana & Apple).. Yehaaaaa!

I placed the order at 1.32am and that friendly McDelivery guy came to the rescue at 2.22am. Nevermind, at least he made it. That’s enough to make me happy. I started to recharge…

Yummy.

Just to let you all know that this is my first experience with McDonald delivery service. Their operation hours are from 8.30am – 11pm 0r 7.30am – 3am and vary according to location. But remember, spare your extra RM3 for the delivery.

Why am I promoting McD? No, friends. They don’t pay me for this post. Sometimes, it’s good to share.. ait? Oh ya, I put the banana pie inside the fridge. Help yourself.

Gmail, I’m Lovin It.

@ndy    Tips    

I got a lot of email accounts (yea, more than 5 emails for me is a lot) and all of them serve different purposes. Besides using Thunderbird as my primary email client, now I know how I can fully utilize my Gmail account to send email to anyone using different ids. Means I can set my outgoing as any of my email addresses.

See?

Since I do check my Gmail regularly, I set forwarder to every email accounts I have to it. By using this method, I don’t have to waste my time log in to each of my email accounts even there’s no new email that particular time. That’s what I do all this while, but I never know that we can directly reply from Gmail using any of my email addresses! Ohh. I bet you guys know earlier than me, right? Huhu… I should explore the settings before.

What else can ‘a’ Gmail do? Do let me know. I’m lovin’ it.
