Well, it has nothing to do with Digi, but it has everything to do with a guy that only wears one color in Office, that’s Yellow.  This guy, from another product division group has been the talk of the company.  He wears a yellow polo T for 5 days a week, sometimes same brand, sometimes different, but Yellow polo T is the constant.  I didn’t notice this guy at first till he become the talk of the cafeteria.  No one knows why, and no one in my circle knows him to ask.  I have seen him in the mall out of working hours and he dress normal.  This is one of the world mysteries, why would a guy dress the same color every day for 5 days a week??

Well, its back for the 5ft year. What do they have for us this year? Adibah Noor (Malaysia), Pascoal Meirelles Trio (Brazil), Jaume Vilaseca Quartet feat Violetta Curry (Spain), Djabe feat.

We have a sickness, where the body protects the few at the expense of the many.  When world petrol price goes up, the government says life’s like that, adjust the life style.  And when the petrol price goes down, the government says, wait, changing of petrol price will impact the economy.  Isn’t it the same when the petrol price goes up.  This leaves the people suffering with high cost of living.  When the petrol prices reduces a little, the cost of goods did not follow suit.  The government cannot force the retailers to reduce price.  The only thing they can do is get the big hypermarket to reduce the prices of essential goods.  And even with this, restaurateurs explains why the food price will not go down

Today, the government says, we should not reduce further than RM1.92/liter, because the person selling the petrol will make a huge loss.  I dont see the same complaint when the petrol goes up.  Worst, what has going cheaper got to do with the loss over the pump station.  If the government want to stagger the price reduction to like 15cent/liter is fine.  But what has it got to do with a minimum? The staggering of price reduction will help to cushion the pump operators loss, no doubt, and if it is executed well, everyone can be happy.  Now, a minimum, just does not make sense.  The price reduction staggering is already making the people / rakyat suffer.  When the price goes up, it goes up with a bank, ~40%, but when it goes down, it staggers.  Already this is unfair to the people, and it seams like the government are trying to protect the few (pump operators) over the many (the people). Isn’t this sick?

Rotten rotten rotten!

I was fortunate enough to have a team building over at Rasa Sayang Shangri-la hotel in Penang last friday, and to end the wonderful evening we were treated with a sumptuous Seafood Buffet dinner at the Spice Garden. I have heard quite a lot about the seafood buffet, especially the price.nbsp; A lot of my friends and colleagues have tried them. The buffet was around RM155 per person. Only the weekend they have the seafood buffet with all you can eat baby lobster and a hefty price tag. In a nutshell, the buffet was excellent and the lobster was the item that I enjoyed the most. We were there as early as 6.30pm, the time the Spice Garden Cafe open. Within 15-20 minutes, the cold baby lobster was all finish, and was promptly replaced with giant prawns. Seams like no refill on this item. The ‘hot’ baby lobster which are being fried by the restaurant chef are being served free flow. However, there are usually a queue on this item. I find the cold baby lobster taste richer than those cooked with spices, and so I was not that much of a fan of the spice fried baby lobsters. The lamb satay was nice, and so was the Japanese food selection.nbsp; Sashimi was of course a hot item. I did not pay much attention to the Chinese section, very few actually took the offered noodles. The only items worth mentioning were the shark fin soup and soft shell crab. For dessert, the Cheese Cake was great, again, was not refilled when it was finish. I got a tip from one of my colleague when I question her why she went for cheese cake a few minutes after we started. Indeed, when finish, it was replaced with some other cakes, not that interesting. There was crepe, and a good selection of chocolate fondue. In Summary, recommended under company expense, if you were to pay your own, better go to the Feringgi Grill, for better food and ambiance.
