Accidental Stay at Paradise Sandy Bay

Someone who was so thoughtful about me called me on a Saturday afternoon asking if I was free.
And, it turned out to be an invitation for a night's stay at Paradise Sandy Bay.
(Thanks .. my good samaritan)

My die-hard 'must-take-a-lot-of-photo' spirit never DIED.
I took my camera and snaped MANY, MANY pictures.

It's christmas... isn't christmas.. till it happens in your heart..

Took someone's room key and snapped.. (smart me :P)

The first time I walked out of the lift, I was surprised that the rooms were suites instead of just 'rooms'.

Photo 1 - patterns

I was amazed with the size of the room....

and I was staying all alone in the room....

It's a not too bad place for a holiday vacation for oustation folks..

(no money for saying this but I just wanna share)

Photo 2 - Perspective

I tried snapping The cove from my balcony at level 7.

My first time setting to MF but I find that the pictures were slightly out of focus and I felt as if I have bad eye sight looking thru the view finder; it's almost impossible to manual focus the rings of the lens.

I took the lift up to 17th floor and the view was way better.

It was windy too..

And I still dont' understand how to avoid the "Stars" for night scenes.

Breafast in the morning.

Overall - I dislike the food from the hotel.

Breakfast, dinner, lunch did not taste good at all.

It's one of the worst buffets I've been.

Its like, I was staying at the buffet line not knowing what to put on my empty plate.

Welcome drink from the lounge - overly sweet which is not suitable for the diabetics.

Photo 3 - patterns again :P

I didn't know there are a lot of angmohs sun tan-ning out by the beach.

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...
