Public Pool

I do not stay in a condominium or apartment where they have facilities like gymansium or swimming pool. My friend wanted to pick up swimming so much that she asked me to go swimming together.

I was supposed to TEACH her!!
I never even gone thru proper swimming lessons before. Moreover, I only know one style - breast stroke - and that's about it.
I cant front crawl, butterfly, backstroke or even water threadding.

Anyway, I'm proud myself that I was able to teach her to FLOAT and do kicking (froggie and motorboat style)... She could move!

We were at Permata Complex.

The place is kinda dirty with lotsa teenagers and "mah-lat-lou". However, I think there is less crowd if I were to compare to PISA.
At the same time, I see family bringing their children for a swim.

Swimming lessons are cheap there. RM140 for 10 lessons.
I see many children learning from the father-and-son instructors.
I think I want to learn from my friends. FREE mah. And no expectations/pressure.

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...

Vacation nightmare

I was dreaming as if I was in Sentosa. The beach was beautiful and I tried capturing the scenery with my digicam. Sunset was colorful. We were in the closed up area and a few of my friends and I began to pose while getting the staff to take pics for us. We posed quite long for them. Shots don't seem to be good. The scene suddenly changed into a bedroom scene with my sis. There was a great disaster. The enemies had come. With just one blow from his mouth, the bridge was changed into wooden bridge (like Terabithia). They came to destroy by placing the bottle of ketchup (what the??!?) at every spot. We tried to strategize. OOps......... and the dream just died.

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.
