Overpriced water

I was at lunch with colleags several days ago at this cafe in a clubhouse near office.

I had fried glass noodle and a glass of warm water. When we finished and went to pay, the boss told me that my total bill was MYR8.00. I distinctly remember that my fried glass noodle was only MYR6.00, and my water cannot be MYR2.00, so maybe the boss got the price of my glass noodle wrong.

So I asked him, "Boss, how much is the glass noodle?" "MYR6.00" was his reply.

Now I was really puzzled, and decided to probbed somemore, "Then how much is the glass of warm water?" "MYR2.00" was the answer.

What?? MYR2.00 for a glass of water? I had to ask him how much was a glass of iced tea. It was only MYR0.50! And a glass of herbal drink is also priced at MYR2.00! So how can my glass of plain water be MYR2.00?????

Felt so cheated, so I told the boss, "Boss, your glass of water very expensive ah?" And he had the cheek to reply "Yeah, a bit expensive...." There is no way I am going to order plain water ever from that cafe again. Actually, if I can, I would try to avoid going to that cafe, since the pricing is so inconsistent and totally off....

Still can't get over the fact that his glass of plain water costs MYR2.00... Issshhhhhh!!!

Good tasting and lovely looking birthday cake

This is my uncle's birthday cake this year.

It looks great don't you think?

And it taste great too... It is sponge based, but in the flavour of spinach and pumpkin.

Just thought I'd share this with you...

Intermitten internet transmission

The internet connectivity at my office has been crap of late... well it was not the best to begin with, but at least we knew ways around it and could function with the speed.

For the past week, it has just been bad. We could not even launch IE, it will just hang and all we get is white screen. So we could not do any work if we wanted to check on the internet, or go home and use our own internet to check.

I think this has to do with us cutting over to another IT provider... but the transition period is causing inconvenience to us users! AArrrggghhhh we cannot surf, cannot research, cannot pull data, cannot check on news... nothing... sigh...

Yeah I know what you are thinking, if that is the case how come I can still post this post right now? Well, that's a secret... cannot tell... shhhhhh.....
:-)

Have a nice weekend ahead...!

Really really annoyed

I have blogged about this before, but it is still happening...
There is this particular post that always attracts spam comments, from offering sexual services to dog health screening.. I have to go in once in a while to delete all the spam comments...

It is really annoying me, how can I prevent someone from posting spam comments? I am even contemplating disallowing comments on my blog...

Sigh...
