Sugar

Sugar price had increased RM0.25 per kg. And some mamak stall had increased the drink with RM 0.10 per cup. I think they are too much on that. How can they increase RM 0.10 per cup and it only increased RM 0.25 per kg. How many cups they can make with 1 kg sugar?

My colleague told me this. He said his area had increased the price. I know government had setup a department for people to complaint if they found out some stall increased the price necessary. But I wonder how many people will lodge a report to them and how efficient they can handle this?

Debit card

Yesterday tried to transfer some money from PayPal to my usual debit card, but there is some problem happen. My debit card detail has gone and I failed to add it after few tries. What had happen? Is PayPal does not accept the debit card or the card problems?

Since I can’t transfer to my debit card, then I tried on transfer it to my bank account. From PayPal to my bank account it stated 2-3 working days and the charges is RM 3 for amount below RM 400 and it is free if the amount is more than RM 400. Looks like the charges is cheaper compare on withdrawing to debit card, and the processing time is shorter. Anyway I am waiting for it to justify which are faster and cheaper. I think I have to wait for 1-2 days then only I know which is better.

I really wish to know what happen to my debit card, does anyone encounter this problem before or facing it currently?

From this situation, I think he will need few days to recover. So we will have more freedom in office with his absent.

Bitter

What is the taste of a cup of beer? I had a cup of beer and it taste different from what I had tasted last time. This time I feel bitter. Is the beer problem or my tongue problem?

It is a bottle beer and not from jug, so it should be the original taste of it. If it is the original taste of it then why so many people like to drink it and drink it until drunk? In Chinese, there is a sentence called “Self find trouble”.

Thing probably, is the taste of the brand or all the beer are same taste? Some people told me it is the brand, some brand are bitter and some are smooth, and that’s why there are some many different brands of beer in the market. So what is your favorite brand of beer?

Price Increased

Today newspaper headline is price increase of many items like petrol, gas, sugar and many items. Government increased the price for the reason to save country subsidiary. With this saving, they claim that it can save about 7.3 billion a year.

Petrol price increase 5 cents per liter. Gas increase 10 cents per kg, sugar increase 25 cents per kg (if I’m not mistaken). With this decision, it will increase our burden. And I wonder with this increment will people increase the price of foods? Normally government announces the increment of something and people like run hawker business will increase their price to cover them, but who will cover us?

How many you can eat at one time?

This is my question to you guys today, how many of smelly bean curd you can eat at one time?

That day after work, 3 of us went to night market. The main reason to there is to eat smelly bean curd. One of my colleague like it very much, and the other colleague never try that before. For me, I am ok with the smell.

I believe many people know what smelly bean curd is. It is one of the famous snacks in Hong Kong. We need to process the fresh bean curds then deep fried it. Wow, at this time you can smell it from far.

Ok, back to my question. I am not sure how many consider a lot, but that night I had 11 pieces of it. That’s my dinner for that night. My colleague treated us that. He asked my other colleague how many he wants. That was his first time try that so he only wants the smallest order which is 4 pieces. Then he asked me how many I want. Before I answer, he said “8 enough?” I replied “OK”, and then he asked again “12 OK?” I thought he also order 12 for him because he is smelly bean curd lovers. At last, he ordered 4 pieces for my other colleague, 8 for himself and 12 pieces for me.

Why I only eat 11 and not 12? Because the other colleague say taste fine for him so he want to try another piece. I quickly replied “Please go ahead”. That’s my dinner for that night. I finished 11 pieces at one round, phew, I also can’t believe that.

After finished, my colleague asked us want to have another round on tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I said “Not for this week, next week we try on other area, OK?”

So we decided to go on next week.

11 pieces is a lot or? Do you think you can finish it at one round?

New product from Horlicks

Have you drink Horlicks before? For me I seldom drink that. Last time when I was young, I tried that before. That time I feel it is different compare to other drinks like Milo. Let me tell you quietly, I drink Milo until age of 10. It is nothing wrong to drink it until age of 10 but what about drink it in milk bottle until age of 10? Ha-ha…

Yes, I really drink it with milk bottle until age of 10. I even drink it outside the house. Now think back also feel funny. Frankly speaking, I choose Milo rather than Horlicks is because of the taste. Last time they had Milo car to my primary school do promotion. I tried it and I love it. It served in cold and trust me, that taste you won’t get it in anywhere except from the Milo car itself. I tried on read pack in supermarket but the taste is still less compare to the one serve in Milo car.

Back to Horlicks. Today they rent a counter in my office lobby and giving up this free sample to people. Give free sample plus free taste on it. That’s one of my part times last time, as a promoter. Now Horlicks also came out 3-in-1 packet. Easy to serve and can carry to anywhere easily. I had taste on it and if you like oats, then you should go for this, it is quite good. I had 2 cups and 2 packets of it. Next time I will bring it for Mum to taste it. Now they are having promotion in Giants. They give out cash voucher together with the sampling packet. Try it if you are Horlicks lovers.

4 Become 2

Yesterday mum told me 2 small bunnies past away with no reason. She supposes to bring all the small bunnies to pet shop, but now only left 2, the grey and whity bunnies.

Mummy said doesn? want so many animals, so these 2 bunnies send to pet shop to change some bunny foods. These 2 bunnies are cute and naughty. Like to run over the area and jumping all over.

I asked mum is Carmen fine for that? I asked this is because I know Carmen play with the bunnies every day. Mum told me Mummy told Carmen baby bunnies need to go for school, so have to send them for school. That was what mum told me, Carmen also told me that.

When I hand over the bunnies over, Carmen told me she miss them. I told her, next time we visit them ok? She said “OK”.

1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock,…

I woke up every hour after midnight. First time woke up, I took medicine but for the rest hours I just woke up without doing anything.

But for the 6th time, I just wake up and take bath. I afraid I will over sleep if I sleep back. After everything done, the place I go is cyber cafe and not to office. Because office now recently set up the rule of internet usage, so it is not safe to do personal work in office.

The day is still young but still have people inside the cyber cafe. The cyber cafe is open 24 hours. I saw people sleeping inside there. After posting and checking emails, then consider job done for me. So straight go to office to start a new day.
