Sydney Buildings

It was my last day at the city.
I met a lady at the Hillsongs Sisterhood meeting and she told me I should go and do some shopping at QVB. Yeah, I was thinking I should take another city walk before I board the plane.

Oh dear, it was so long ago that I took this picture, but I think it should be the clock tower of Westin.

Westin area.

I love long corridors.

The Strand, which is also an arcade since 1891.
Wow. That's Ancient.

Along George St.

The entrance of QVB (Queen Victoria Building)

The antique tiles of QVB. It did remind me of our Penang's E&O hotel.

The clock.
Why do I see clock everywhere?

The glass window panes

Pretty fascinating. Even though I've almost zero knowledge about architecture, I think Australia (Sydney or Melbourne) is a good place to start with.

School Kids at the Pyrmont bridge.
Some actually do their routine jogs here (yes, at 1pm in the afternoon). I do not know why they do that, I see people jogging at the Royal Botanic Gardens at 1pm too!

Cheers! I miss you, Sydney.

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.
