Eh? KOMTAR is not Circular in shape one meh? Oh? this KOMTAR is actually in Johor Bharu and not Penang? I wonder is there other KOMTAR elsewhere in Malaysia?

Thanks to Wes of devauld.ca for noting my PhotoFriday Submission for “Tiny“. Seeing so many good photos posted, I don’t think I have much chance in making into the top 6 notable list. Nevertheless, being mention in Wes list is good enough..

Cheers!

What one does when visits a new country, is to get some memorabilia of that visit. Hard Rock Cafe is one such provider. I had the opportunity to visit Manila and Hard Rock was the fist evening dinner location. My favorite Malaysian cuisine was spotted to be on the menu of Hard Rock Cafe.. Hard to imagine “Char Koay Teow” is part of Hard Rock Cafe Manila/Makati menu. I don’t believe it is even in the KL HRC menu.. Could anyone verify?

Nevertheless, saw this item after I have ordered and it was 350 peso, which translate to RM 25 aprox. Didn’t try it, if only it is called “Penang Char Koay Teow”, then Penang nites can hold their head high.

Is it Ipod Shuffle or Super Shuffle you got there? Well, LuxPro has came out with a new Flash MP3 player that looks very much like an Ipod Shuffle. From the front, everything looks the same, but at the back, there are additional functions such as FM tuner and voice recorder.

Wonder if LuxPro has the license to produce such seemingly product.

C|net Reports:

Microsoft is sending its Windows XP Media Center operating system on a world tour.

The software maker plans to offer the entertainment-oriented operating system in 19 additional countries, as well as Hong Kong.

Microsoft will sell versions of Media Center in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, India, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and Turkey. Those countries and Hong Kong will get the new operating system later in 2005.

Looks like to get this software, we may have to go across the causeway. However the software only comes with hardware, and cannot be purchased off the shelves.
