What's the point of using a rebate card?
It's pointless even if we have 2% or 5% rebate now.
And i just started using rebate card (yes, true, I had 2% rebate - RM4.50 last month)

Imagine...
My car is dry. I got no $$. I got no cash.
I only have plastic cards.
Sh*t.
If it's just RM10 in my wallet, I got to use it to feed my car.

And just now, I went to the most happening Petronas, Green Lane station in Penang.
(well, seems like Shell works with Credit card)
I was ASKED to use CASH!!
COME ON!
Government. Please help us, the poor rakyat!
Petronas is making so much profit yet wanna save that 1% service charge?

I got no choice but pumped a small amount of RM40. It was not even two levels full!
My car needs more PETROL now. It's thirsty.

And SMS rumour - NO PETROL on Thu?
PLEASE DO SOMETHING......... i plead the government.

Ya lor.. why lah can not use credit card? Your bro luv using credit card all the time even for small purchases.. haha. Next, we will have other places say cash pls.

Isn't it dangerous for the petrol station to be holding so much cash with the increasing robbery? Next, we will have no people wanting to work in petrol station because scared of robbery.

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.

Let's compare the picture quality of k770i. Without LED light (dark) With LED light (brighter) OK. Not bad. :) Bon Appetit. Mango was nice. Tiramisu was nice. Cookies in the chocolate was nice and i think it was coffee was nice too!

An afternoon at Dannok

Living at the northern side of Malaysia makes it really convenient and easy to go 'overseas'. For us, going to our neighboring country, be it Thailand or Singapore by land or by flight is really easy. I'm always a fan of Thai food, and with the remaining Thai bahts that I had since my last Bangkok trip (which I didn't finish even crossing the border a couple or times), I decided to go Dannok for FOOD again. So, it's a day trip or rather, half day tour to Dannok For the past few weeks, I was searching for insta / blog /facebook posts if there is any other new hangouts in Dannok, but sadly, I couldn't find many bloggers who write about it. The funny part is, I already blogged about it two years ago. The immigration complex in Malaysia is new. I nearly couldn't recognize it, while passing to get our passport checked. As I didn't want to drive over, we parked our car at the Zon Duty Free. As I entered, I took the wrong ticket (which parking rate is RM3...
