I was in Sunway Pyramid (SP) last night and wanted to dine in a new pasta restaurant near the entrance of SP in the new wing. It is set up by Pasta de Waruku Singapore for this Japanese Casual Pasta & Restaurant. When I enter, I was told by the waitress that at the moment, it is by invitation only but nevertheless allowed us to enter as we happen to be there. She further told us that all dining is on the house.
I had crabmeat with fetucine and cocoa shake. Then we shared a green tea ice cream. My boyfriend ordered set meal with soup which was corn and tasted delectable. There are no photos here as the batteries of my digital camera happen to be flat. What we ate was worth more than RM70 with taxes but thanks to their promotion, we dined for free. We happen to be in the right place at the right time. For those who miss out on the free dining, do not fret. You can say pay RM100 and get back RM100 dining voucher which means that you only pay half on 9th May 2008.
Malaysia’s former Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir has started his own blog in www.chedet.com. It is named after the pseudonym he used when he wrote articles for the newspapers. In his profile, Dr Mahathir simply lists himself as the Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003. This site was dedicated to publishing his writings as and when he was able to pen his thoughts and opinions. By 5pm yesterday, Dr Mahathir’s blog received 10,000 visitors. Many said they were eager to hear his thoughts on various issues and welcomed the fact that they could interact with him through the blog.

Today is my boyfriend’s birthday on 26th April. We have been together for 5 years now since he emailed me from a matchmaking web site in February 2003. We plan to celebrate it in Oriental Seafood Restaurant. I called up Maple Gold, but it was already fully booked on a weekend on Saturday. And I managed to book a place for 2 persons in Oriental Seafood Restaurant, located near the roundabout in Gurney Drive by the beach. He’s the best boyfriend I have ever had, very generous, kind and understanding.
I have also booked Dorset Hotel for our weekly weekend stay which is beside our church. And I intend to bring Pastor Joseph Prince’s message CDs along so that we can hear some annointed preaching and be greatly blessed.
In my school days I was a numismatist or coin collector since the day my dad bought souvenir coins from around the world when he visited Europe back in the 1970s. I was so thrilled to see so many types of designs from the various countries. There were 1 cent coins, 5 cents, 10 cents and so on. My dad also bought me coin albums so that I can select and put them into the album for easier viewing. Then during Chinese New Year sometime in 1996, my aunt in Singapore gave me commemorative gold coins instead of ‘ang pows’ or red packets of money. The gold coins depict the year of the animal showing a ten dollar face value. And it weighed about 10 gm in pure 99.9% gold. That was the most expensive gift I have ever received and I still cherish the gold coin until today.
Motorists now have the option of renewing their road tax online through a service launched recently. The service would be a boon to owners of the 15 million vehicles in the country. The online service could be accessed through http://www.myeg.com.my. Users could opt to have the road tax stickers delivered directly to their homes or offices. Payment could be made via credit card or debit method. Motorists who renewed their road tax online will have to pay a service charge of RM2.75. MYEG has fixed delivery charge for the road tax disc at RM6 in the Klang Valley and RM8 outside the Klang Valley. For motorists in Sabah and Sarawak, the charge is RM10.
2 days ago, I was paid USD36 for the week’s job of writing articles. Not bad for a start. And my client from India contacted me directly from a freelancer’s web site. I have been in constant contact with her since then via Google Talk. Incidentally that was how I learn to use GTalk. Never knew it could be so fast and nifty this way. All the while I relied on Yahoo Messenger to chat but this is my first time talking to a client by opening up my Gmail account. I also got paid USD22.95 from the sale of one of my bestseller, 750 reports ebook. Check out the link now to see if this is what you wish to order.

I have gone back to doing paid posts for Gadgetell.com since 2006 and after a one year break in 2007 because of other commitments. I did try my hands at writing students’ term papers ALA style and undergraduate assignments but to no avail. The requirements were too scholarstic and I prefer to write without sticking too closely to the project title, though it pays about USD4-10 per page, double spacing. There may be many revisions before you see your money. Too time consuming. Someone from GAF did email me for on the spot writing essays and I did communicate with her via Google Talk which was a very basic chat messenger. And the pay? USD2 for 500 words. She’s from India which explains why the amount is below market rate.
At the moment, I am eager for any job assignments because to me some money coming in is better than nothing at all. And I get to leverage my plenty of free time online for better purposes instead of chatting through MIRC or Yahoo Messenger. And I am still reeling from the fact that I lost RM4k within 6 months due to unwise investments in public mutual unit trusts, all thanks to dad’s instigation. He thinks Fixed Deposits are too slow but I feel safer in FD and the capital is protected unlike mutual funds where there is an immediate 5% deduction upon joining.
Today I will be watch a live ice-skating performance in PISA, Penang. You can read more about it here. I have paid about $135 per person and ordered online via my credit card for the tickets to be couriered to my address. It is right in front which is why the seats are more expensive. The cheapest tickets sell at $55 per person and you sit further up the audience’s allocated seatings. Starting at 8:30pm today, I hope the performance will be worth our money.
If you have kids, bring them along for this once in a year ice-skating performance by award winning skaters. I hope to take some pictures if cameras are allowed to snap and record the video. But from previous experience, no one is allowed to take photos or secretly record the live entertainment.
Last night, I was in Queensbay Mall to catch a movie entitled Nim’s Island, an adventure trailer.
Nim’s Island tells the story of a young girl named Nim (Abigail Breslin). She lives on a deserted island with her scientist father (Gerard Butler). She spends her days having wild adventures in the woods along with her animal friends and her wild imagination. Nim has a huge passion for books, especially the Alex Rover books. One night when her father gets lost at sea, Nim sends a letter to her literary hero pleading for help. Little does Nim know, that Alex Rover is a woman (Jodie Foster). Alexandra is agoraphobic and never leaves the house. She rarely even opens her front door. Alex also has a wild immagination, whereas her fictional character Alex Rover (also Gerard Butler) talks to her, mocks her, and gives her pep talks. When they find Nim’s Letter, fictional Alex badgers alexandra until he finally convinces her to leave the confines of her townhouse to go and help Nim. After a long and terrifying journey, both of the Alex’s make it to Nim’s Island and try to help.

This blog plus my 2 other wordpress blogs have been upgraded to WordPress 2.5, the latest version which came out yesterday. To make it easy, I did not disable the many plugins and ftp the new files over to my blog. Then I encountered an error message linking one of the plugins. After dinner, I had an idea and decided to delete the plugin using WS-FTP directly and voila, the blog appeared and in operating condition again. Thank goodness, I don’t have to spend money asking my hosting programmers to troubleshoot the problem.
The admin page has a new layout with the WordPress 2.5 version in sky blue theme, and I like it. It makes the admin page look fresh and enticing. Just make sure you don’t overwrite the wp_config.php file but precaution has been taken over this when you upload your files during FTP.
I stayed in Grand Continental Hotel in Kuala Terengganu 2 days ago. My boss drove us from Penang to Kulim, then to Baling, Gerik in Perak, Jeli, Machang in Kelantan and then down to Kuala Terengganu which is about 2 hours’ drive from Machang. It was a fruitful trip and we secured the business deal. It was my first trip to Terengganu which is nearer to drive from Penang rather than Karak Highway in KL. All in all the journey took about 7 hours by car moving at 80-100km per hour. Below are the photos I took during the trip there.
This photo was shot just behind the registration counter in Grand Continental Hotel which incidentally was located by the beautiful beach.
Here is the lobby with lifts leading to the hotel rooms. Further in the photo is the restaurant serving buffet and ala carte food.
This is my hotel room with twin single beds.
A rather beautiful view from my hotel room of the blue seas and some atap roof houses of the Malay ‘kampung’ (village)
My simple buffet breakfast of sausages, curry chicken, French toast, etc.
I was in Kuala Lumpur a couple of days back and will be going to Kuala Terengganu by car on Easter Sunday. Though I heard that the roads leading to Terengganu are winding, I hope the ride will not be bumpy. My boss and I plan to meet up with our client for sports project over there and hopefully the sale can be closed on the same day. This will be my first trip to Terengganu, the only state that I have never been in West Peninsular Malaysia. Also, I have been to Bintulu, Sarawak before, leaving Sabah as the only other state that I have yet to visit. We plan to stay 2 nights there in Grand Continental Hotel.
I prefer to travel using the North-South Highway that is smooth and easy flow of traffic. Going to the East Coast gives me jitters whether the car will break down halfway in the God forsaken place. There is very little traffic and asking for help from PlusLine is almost impossible. So, I better pray for a smooth, unhindered drive down to Kuala Terengganu.
