What-to-do on the First Day of Chinese New Year?

A little too old to go house-to-house for angpow collection, perhaps, the best thing to do on the first day of new year is to go HIKING. Instead of going to normal eateries to celebrate Soo Ling's birthday, we opted for HIKING since we worried so much about the calories that we consumed for CNY.

It was indeed a quieter evening compared to other days, since most regular hikers would be busy with their family reunions/gatherings. Since I have a very simple family who only have 'simple' small reunions, I was pretty free throughout my new year.

I was surprised to see some uncles having steamboat gathering right at Hill No.3.

Good day to start with a sweat !
Ain't Penang magnificent?

Kawaii poses for the older ones :P
Down at Penang Youth Park before we left the place

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.

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...
