29.04.2009 | 甜甜登場

引頸長盼, 喺一片冬甩狂潮助陣之下, Krispy Kreme呢個冬甩鉅頭終於登陸大馬.. 某位喺裡頭工作嘅朋友話, 頭幾日大排長龍喎, 啲人幾打幾打咁買.. 果真令我費思不解, 馬來西亞人幾時開始會咁鐘意食冬甩架??!!

after much anticipation, under the nationwide effect of the donut fever, the donut tycoon Krispy Kreme has finally landed few days ago.. a friend who works for them told me, the queue for donuts was loooong for the opening days, people bought in dozens and satisfactorily walked away.. this is always something i find amazing, since when the hell we Malaysians love donuts so much??!!

******************************************************

今日帶著興奮嘅心情去試佢一試, 去到未見所講嘅人潮, 排個5分鐘隊就輪到喇.. 同友人合共買咗半打(其實花款同選擇唔多), 沾沾自喜(好似執到寶咁)上咗二樓雅座嘆冬甩.. 第一隻擺入口嘅係招牌original glaze, 噢賣葛!! 此刻只有兩三個字可形容: 超甜!! 甜到吖, 杯iced chocolate都變淡而無味囉.. 老實講, 論口感我覺得非常好, 勝過等件冬甩/積高/碧丫蒲, 但係就死在超甜(唔係嚟到馬來西亞特登加多兩斤糖係嘛??).. 好唔好食?? 見人見智囉..

was very excited to give it a try, went there this afternoon but didn't see crowds as was told, queued for about 5 minutes and it's our chance (yeah, that's what the waiter said, chance but not turn).. with another friend we bought half a dozen, happily we went upstairs to feed our mouth.. the first ones into our mouths were the signature orignal glazed.. OMG, only two words could describe the moment: SUPER SWEET!!! it was so sweet that our iced chocolate turned tasteless.. frankly, i would think the texture of the donuts is very good, beats DD/JC/BA, but the sweetness defeats it all (don't tell me the extra sweetness is for the Malaysian market).. are they nice?? well it depends on your taste..

25.04.2009 | 喪失理智

噚日有位blog友話我知今日有個碧歐泉(Biotherm)清倉大平賣.. 都唔抱任何希望可以買到嘢架喇, 你知啦, 好嘢點會拎出嚟拋售吖, 咁大只蛤乸隨街跳咩?? 就打算去睇睇無妨, 打個白鴿轉出嚟..

結果點啊?? 結果咪就係大出我所預料之外, 跌到成地眼鏡碎囉!! 竟然有好多筍嘢, 而且仲係跳樓價拋售添喎, 譬如呢個全效煥膚霜只售RM60!! 於是連一向來好淡定嘅我, 竟然老貓燒鬚, 霎時間喪失理智咁, 狂掃8件只不過300蚊, 係原價三成咋!! 呢次真係搽到塊面甩晒皮都仲喺度不停偷笑囉, 哇哈哈哈哈~~
was told by a blogger friend that there is a Biotherm Warehouse Sale today, didn't really expect much from such event, as you know, how would good things be thrown out for clearance at super cheap price?? and so i thought maybe just spend a 3 minutes to go look around, just for the sake of not missing that out..

and then what?? i have to say it totally caught me by surprise, there were just loads of items on clearance selling at very unbelievably cheap price (for example this Anti-Ride Line Peel Cream is just RM60)!! the usually very calm me suddenly went crazy and could not control my buying desire, i swept a total of 8 items and only pay RM300 for them, it's just 30% of the original price!! oh my, i think i could even laugh away that apply-till-my-face-deskin risk for this super deal (as compared to Granny Twilight's RM500+ for his 5 pieces plus freebies, hahaha!! read his story HERE)

21.04.2009 | 搾乾搾淨

今年依舊準時報稅, 但係驚覺需要繳交近一個月薪水嘅稅, 好鬼肉赤, 真係極唔願意click個submit button囉.. 年年都要交咁多, 我覺得一啲公益回報都冇, 樣樣嘢起價, 去到邊都話要畀錢!! 咁交稅嚟做咩啊?? 唔好同我講「莫問國家可以給你甚麼, 反問你可以給國家甚麼」, 呸!! 講真我絕對唔係個效忠國家嘅人, 我好現實架喎, 有付出當然希望回報嘛, 你以為係共產國益晒嗰一族人咩??

唯一可以安慰自己嘅係, 唔駛一次過嘔咁多錢出嚟, 每個月自動繳稅都有畀多咗, 稅收局爭我錢啊!! 速速磅唔好兩頭望!!
just did my income tax filing before the deadline as usual every year, but was shocked to find out that i have to pay tax close to one month my gross salary!! that is just too much, i was so reluctant to click the submit button actually.. why am i paying so much every year, and yet i didn't see any social benefit returns?? things are getting more expensive, fees and tolls everywhere we go, i just wonder what is the purpose of paying tax?? don't ever come to bulls**t me about "never ask what the country can give you, but ask what you can give the country", frankly i am never a patriotic person, but a realistic me would expect returns after i have paid something, this ain't a communist place and why do i have to give benefit to THOSE people??

the only thing i could think of the comfort myself is that, i don't have to come out with a whole lump of money one short, the monthly payment scheme actually pays more than i have to pay, and now the inland revenue board owes me money, quick quick pay me back my money!!
