Durian durian

It's pretty amazing to find out that a durian stall at SS2 also has a webpage of their own. I wonder what will they put up in their website.

Let's take a guess. I think they'll have an introduction page to different types of durians they are offering, the location of their stall and their contact number and email address. That's all I can think of actually. What else can they put up in their website?

Do you think they'll have delivery service as well? Like the ones Mcds have it..? I think this is very unlikely..

Anyway.. let's check out their website to find out more Durian SS2

-Introduction page to different types of durians
Bingo! I had this one correct

-About us page which contains the location map
My guess is correct for this as well

-Enquiry page
Yeah! Another correct guess

-OMG, they have a flash 'Welcome' clip as well

-Durian show (Some photo gallery of durians and their plantation)
This is not fully utilized though. Can't find much contents in this link

Oh well.. I've expected the webpage to be like this anyway. What can you expect from a small stall just by the road side? It's really good enough to have this webpage as it meets their purpose. Advertising their stall! Not bad!

However, it's nice if they can offer more information as below.

-What about an education page.. teaching us how to identify different types of durians..
- Delivery service
- The price of their durian would be lovely too

Company Outing-Makan trip to Melaka

Saturday, 15th July 2006

I woke up super early on a Saturday morning to go to Melaka for food. Woohoo.. here we come.. 17 adults and 7 children.. That's a big group!

Our meeting point was at Mcdonalds and guess what? I had my breakfast from Mcdonalds.. I regretted ordering the meal.. I was so full after that.. How can I eat later on? :)

Our first stop in Melaka was the Chicken Rice Ball. I just had 3 rice balls and a small piece of chicken. I was just too full. The food wasn't that great. I still prefer my 'Char Siew' rice :) After that, we went to eat Cendol.. my favourite.. :) I enjoy the brown sugar and the green jelly alot! Yummy Yummy..

The weather in Melaka was super hot and I wanted to get a hat for myself. Look what I've done to the others as well? The straw hat gang! Aren't we cool? haha.. The farmers from some Kampung! Wahahahhaha!!! :)

We had Nyonya food for lunch at Bibik Neo. I have tried that restaurant before but not too sure why the food was quite disappointing that day. Anyway, after lunch, we went to Mahkota Parade for about an hour to burn some calories before heading to eat Pork Satay. Some of my colleagues enjoyed it but not me. I find the taste a bit funny. I still prefer the original satay.. Nyum nyum...

After that, we headed down to Jonker Street. We spent about an hour there before going to Seremban for Crabs. Now you know why I'm on a diet regime this whole week ;)

I've uploaded some pics of the trip in my photo album.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Mum & Dad!

My parents organized an anniversary party at home last Saturday and about 400 people turned up.

Mum ordered 1000 sticks of "lok lok" and just within 1.5 hours, the food was gone. As for satay, she ordered 900 sticks and within 2 hours, that finished too.. Gosh..

The buffet dinner is about to begin.....

The anniversary cake & also my dad's birthday cake

Cake cutting session!!

My friends who came over to drink, eat and have fun!!!

The four leng luiss :)

What's this?

I wonder how people design building these days. What’s the use of having such a beautiful architecture but the building plan sucks? A building with more than 50 floors and there’s only 4 levels of parking spaces. I’m referring to this blue building which looks like a sword. Last year, 3 of the 4 levels were only reserved for permanent staffs and 1 level is opened up for visitors.. what happen to this level now? Half of it is reserved for them.. Oh gosh.. then where do you expect the visitors to park? There’re some parking spaces outside the building but it’s limited. So if you arrive late, say bout 10am, so sorry.. you’ve gotta find a parking space some other place.

We were discussing this over lunch about having functions in this building. Just imagine all visitors are all nicely dressed but they can’t park in the building. They have to park about 5-10 minutes walk away. So imagine them, walking under the hot sun, sweating.. Really funny! If I’m one of them, I’ll be cursing like mad.. what is this place.. :P

Anyway,when I reached the office at 8:50 last Monday morning, the car park outside was full. I don’t know where to park. There’re parking spaces at the next building but that means I’ll have to walk far and you know me.. LAZY! I saw an empty space at the road side and I parked my car there. I plan to park my car at the proper car park during lunch time. More spaces by then… So when I went down to get my car during lunch time, know what I saw on my windscreen? A white piece of paper… it’s obviously a “SAMAN by DBKL”.. Congratulations! This is the first time I’m getting one :)

I stood at the side of my car for a while.. thinking on whether I should just leave my car there since I’ve already got fined. I felt a little bit uncomfortable with the idea and drove my car to the proper parking space. Now.. another problem.. paying the fine.. I have to pay within the first 14 days.. coz it’ll be much cheaper.. There goes my RM30 to the DBKL fund.

I still find people parking at the roadside everyday. I think the DBKL fellas are so happy to come to this area everyday and I’m sure they can hit their “SALES” target every month. Hehe.. I also find some cars with those white papers on their windscreen early in the morning too. What I suspect is that, once they got fine, they will continue to park at the road side and recycle the white paper and put it on their wind screen every morning to trick the officers.. Hmm.. you sure this works? I have no idea.. but I don’t think the officers are so easily fooled by these “smart” people eh? :D

Fountain?

I Hate Monday!!! Don’t feel like going to work… Why is the weekend so short? Why can’t it be longer? Sighzzzz…..

The water pressure at home this morning was pretty low. It’s the sign of no water… When I was driving to work this morning, I saw this huge fountain That answers why there’s low water pressure at home… *Grin*

My client's Annual Dinner

Friday, 30th June

My second day in the island….

Woke up late this morning but luckily can manage to reach office around 9:15... I’m not late.. bumped into a few staffs of the company in the same lift.. I tried my luck again to see whether the connection is up.. to my disappointment, it’s still not working.. oh well.. GIVE UP!

Luckily today is Friday.. so.. I’m not that bothered with the connection.. Just received the invitation card to the Annual Dinner of my client tonight. Look at the card… The theme for tonight is “Black and White”.

I’m supposed to wear something which is black and white. Quick check.. I’ve got a black dress and I can have a white shawl to go with it… There you go.. Black and white..

The annual dinner was pretty good.. Everyone receives a goodie bag and also a lucky draw prize.. Check out what's inside the goodie bag.. 2 shampoos worth nearly Rm100, a torch light, and a high quality notepad. I received a kettle for the lucky draw.

They invited Nita from last year's Malaysian Idol finalist to perform. She belted out a few songs. There was Henkel Idol as well.. and guess what? I participated in it. Every table is supposed to send a representative to participate in the contest. No one wants to sing.. so they asked me to go for it. Out of the 10 contestants, I was the only female.. hehhe.. and guess what? I got 3rd prize.. :) The song that I sang was "Top of the world". It was a simple and nice song. It's easy to sing. I won Rm100. Not too bad yeah!
