My first visit to Alma, Bukit Mertajam - Frosts

Being a Penang islander, I'm quite hopeless when it comes to the roads in mainland. I'm too used to driving small roads, and the roads at mainland are really wide. On that night, I decided to visit a place called Alma.

Along the main road (Jalan Rozhan), I could see AEON Mall under construction on my left, and Tesco on my right. Frosts is situated opposite Tesco Alma.


This is almost like a new housing area, with many shoplots, and many signage of DNP developer.


Pyramid chocolate cake - I don't find it impressive at all.


Satay, but it seems like it's deep fried chicken meat with cheese.


 Peanut snow ice - It isn't impressive as well. I was trying to try out a new flavour, but ended up, the peanut butter just didn't go well with the shaved ice.


Aurora drink. Ah... very interesting soda drink with 4 different colors of ice cubes. Just like Aurora.


I got lost around this area for 1 hour once. I talked about it with some friends that I couldn't find any road signs that tell me "Penang bridge". They told me, the best way to get out the area is to look for the road sign that says "Butterworth". And now, I'm finally wiser by the day....

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.
