Old 50 cents on the top and new 50 cents in the middle and old 20 cents on the bottom...

Is it just me or the new 50 cents is trying to be 20 cents??? In fact the size is actually smaller than the old 20 cents!!! What are they trying to do??? It doesn't make any sense at all... First of all, why do we need new notes and coins whereas the old one serve us well??? Okay so they have made up their mind to introduce new notes and coins AGAIN but why do you make the 50 cents smaller??? I don't see the rational here... Just to refresh your memory... When the government introduce the new RM5 note made from polymer, all the autopay machine couldn't accept the new note... So why made the same mistake again by reducing the size of the new 50 cents coin??? This will cause a lot of hassle for us as those autopay machine may not be able to accept these new notes and coins!!! Now all these autopay and parking ticket machines need to be modify or worse still, a replacement need to be made!!! Not a very logical move I said... Can someone please enlighten me on this???

See this is what happen!!!

Recently 'KFC Malaysia' had been plagued with lots of negativity pertaining their staffs and they are making headline for all the wrong reason... Firstly there are  a few videos showing their staffs rubbing the chicken on the sole of their shoe before putting it into the fryer... Frankly speaking these acts are totally unacceptable!!! 

But for me, this new video that went viral on the Internet is even more unacceptable... I'm not siding either party and I don't care who started it, but it is just not right to fight someone wearing your company's uniform... This is a simple work ethics and everyone should know it... If you have a problem with the other guy, that's your problem and please don't drag your employer with you... 

Thanks 'Malaysiakini' for showing us this video!!!

The victim did a press conference today and said that he did not start the provocation as a lot of people saying that he's the one who is wrong... What I can say is I find both party to be at fault... The victim might utter something at the staff as he's already in a bad mood but no matter how people scolded you, you don't simply retaliate by beating someone up especially your customers!!! Mind you, this is a serious offence... There is another person that I find at fault and should resign because of this incident... The manager!!! He/she should be aware of this incident and should act accordingly and stop this from happening!!! So please 'KFC Malaysia', do something to your staff before they ruin your reputation!!! 

My favourite vampire is back with a vengeance!!! Woo hoo... I know a lot of people are disappointed with this movie but still I will watch it... Come on is not easy to get a true vampire movie nowadays plus a hot looking vampire thrown in as a bonus!!! Wait a minute, I believe I heard someone saying 'Bella' from 'Twilight'... Are you kidding me??? You call that a vampire??? Besides she's definitely not hot!!! 

Since most of my friends said that this movie is not worth watching, so I set my expectation to a standard low... But what surprised me was I kinda like the movie!!! Believe it or not, I find it rather entertaining with all the violent and gore turn a notch up from it's predecessor... And regarding the storyline, I find it much better compare to the previous one as I didn't expect it to turn out this way...

Other than the sizzling hot 'Selene', there is a newcomer with the name of 'Eve'... She's an innocent looking girl this minute and a sinister looking one the next!!! She looks so much meaner compare to 'Selene'!!! 'Bella' who is she??? I bet she weep and piss in her pants when she sees 'Eve'!!!

Overall, I'm liking this movie and watch it if you're a true 'Underworld' fan... Ignore all the others who think otherwise just like what I did... And I'm glad I watched it...  

Reunion dinner over at the in-law is somewhat predictable as steamboat is their choice of meal... So 2012 is no different compare to last year... Not a bad thing as we don't have to scratch our head thinking of what to prepare and cook for dinner!!! So I guess I'm really bless... 

 Mickey 'chilli padi' condiment???

Okay, that's all for this year reunion lunch and dinner photos... Till next year!!!

This year we tried something different for our reunion lunch... We cooked something spicy!!! If my memory serves me right, this is the first time ever... Well, there will always be a first time!!! Every year, we cracked our head and brainstorm together for our reunion lunch... Quite frankly, I almost ran out of idea... Besides that, it is not something easy as my parents want certain ingredients and the only way to differentiate it from last year is the way of cooking it!!! It was fun nevertheless albeit a very tiring kind of fun!!! 

We woke up around eight something in the morning to prepare all the ingredients, (though I'm not the one preparing, but still I woke up early!!!) and you know what time we finish everything including eating and taking bath??? Around three something in the afternoon!!! Crazy huh... Okay now lets enjoy the fruits of our labour!!!

HUAT AH!!!

After 'Snowflake' taking the dessert scene by storm, now is time for the ever popular 'bubble tea' turn to stir up the drinks category a bit... There are three very famous players in this category now namely 'Gong Cha' and 'Chatime' which is from 'Taiwan' (the birth place of bubble tea) and last but not least, 'Ochado' which is from 'Japan' if I'm not mistaken...

So which is the best among these three heavy weight??? 

I will start with my least favourite one... And the honours goes to 'Chatime'... Quite frankly, I don't really get the hype of 'Chatime'... I've tried a few of their drinks and I can tell you that it was pretty awful!!! 'Chocolate Hazelnut' above was one of the worst I've tried... So I don't really understand why people are still queueing up for it??? Frankly speaking, 'Cool Blog' is much better and not forgetting a lot cheaper...

Second place goes to 'Ochado'... The taste of their tea is definitely more superior compare to 'Chatime' which tasted like crap... One of the drink to try out when you patron 'Ochado' next time is their 'Okinawa Matcha Milk Tea'... Their matcha is really fragrance and flavourful... ('Chatime' offer something really similar... try it and let me know what you think!!! I've tried and definitely not impressed by it!!!) 

And the first place goes to 'Gong Cha'!!! Actually, it is really hard to determine the winner between 'Ochado' and 'Gong Cha'... Very close battle if you ask...

So what makes 'Gong Cha' number one??? Their signature winter melon milk drink!!! I'm not a BIG fan of winter melon drink but the moment I tried 'Gong Cha' winter melon milk drink, I'm hooked and there is no turning back for me... I want more of it!!! Their signature milk tasted really awesome and not forgetting very milky which is something I really like... There are three ways for you to indulge... First open the lid and take a sip of the milk... Second method is to drink the winter melon drink without mixing with the milk and lastly (which is the one I prefer) stir and mix up the milk with the winter melon drink...

This is one of our favourite restaurant for dinner... Usually we went there for 'bak kut teh' and steamed fish head... Although their core business is selling 'bak kut teh', but it seems that the steamed fish head is more famous than the 'bak kut teh'... 

I'm not sure about others but I must have soy sauce + dark soy sauce when I'm eating 'bak kut teh'... 

'Bak kut teh'... Frankly speaking, their 'bak kut teh' is definitely not the best around but still better than most that I've tried...

This is our first time trying their chilli steamed fish head... Normally we will ordered the normal one which is with garlic and ginger instead of chilli... The normal one tasted much nicer compare to this...

 Vegetables...

Stir-fry pig's kidney, liver and intestine...

Overall Rating - 3.9/5

Sorry no address as I didn't manage to get a namecard from the owner... 'Sin Manli' is located along the same road with the famous 'Tak Fok Hong Kong Seafood' restaurant... 

This is the decorations at '1 Utama' shopping complex... Nothing special and definitely underwhelming if you compare it to the previous two that I had posted... Quite disappointed!!! (Sorry for the short update as I'm still in my holiday mood!!!)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

You can be the judge and tell me which is nicer in terms of decorations... 'Pavilion', 'Mid Valley' or 'Gardens'???  In my humble opinion, I believe 'Pavilion' win this round again... Frankly speaking, the giant lantern in 'Mid Valley' and 'Gardens' look nice, but it is not enough to defeat 'Pavilion'...

But the person sitting on the rope is more spectacular compare to the giant lanterns!!! Just look at him sitting there without any harness!!! I don't know how the hell he ended up there in the middle!!!

 A close up!!! This guy have balls!!! Not some ordinary one I guess!!!

 Close up view of the giant lantern with more miniature lanterns in it...

The lantern decorations in 'Gardens' is slightly different compare to the one found in 'Mid Valley'... Much simple looking and the scale have been tone down a few notch!!!
