Free WiFi at Starbucks

Honest speaking, it was my first time bringing my laptop to Starbucks.
I tried accessing Coffee bean's Airzed with an IPAQ but never Starbucks.
I never thought it was necessary to use it since I've got Streamyx broadband connection at home.

Since my friend wanted to show me her vacation pics, thus, I decided to bring along my "brick" while enjoying our Frappucino (Ehh.. not cheap... Rm15 for a cuppa Venti).

Earlier in the afternoon, I asked some friends if they have any idea connecting to the wireless.
Do we need a timezone account and blah blah blah......... oh well.. for this outlet, it's an unsecured network.... so what I did was refresh network list and VOILA.. I was ONLINE!! Hooray!

Steps getting online in starbucks
1. Turn on your laptop - preferably, choose a spot with power supply
2. Turn on wireless
3. Refresh network list
4. Connect to "Timezone" (it was unsecured network, thus Passkey was not required)
5. Internet Explorer will be launched automatically
6. Start surfing and start launching all your IMs!

Besides drinking and getting online and looking at pics, we took pics and instanteously view it from the laptop (cool huh). There were many groups of people with laptops and I saw a group receiving 'summon' (wedding invitations).

Hm.. I learnt to babysit a baby boy...... Cute or not? I've not learnt how to carry the baby and I was soo soo afraid that he'd cry.. :(

hAHa.. just look at our multi-colored tee shirts! It's just sooo amazing.. :)

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

Monday Movie Day - Mamma Mia

Finally, after being a nuffnanger for 3 months, I was invited for a free movie at GSC Gurney. Thanks, nuffnang. Again and again. Free movie for 3. Thanks. :D The blogger community was exceptionally quiet compared to the usual cinema crowd. Perhaps, maybe, they only TALK in their blog. I dont' know. Even as we were watching a few minutes of the silent movie, there were not a single 'hoo-ing' or banana-throwing at the screens. I was looking hard to see if I know anyone. I guess it's just 5xmom with her anti-ISA tshirt. Hm.. Somewhat, after watching the movie, I felt that it was just morally so wrong. Am I too rational? 1. How can one has 3 fathers? Shouldn't they do a DNA check first? 2. Does that mean it's alright sleeping with 3 men one after another and get pregnant and raise the child in an island? 3. It seemed ok for the daughter to just call off the wedding. 4. And, the pastor actually solemnized their wedding just like that? They don't even need to att...

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
