New burger line

Image
McDonalds, the famous fast food in burger line. I'm sure whenever Penangites go to KL, most of us want to catch a bite of Burger King. It is said to be nicer than McDonalds. Probably because we do not have it in Penang, so we look for other choice of fast food. There is another burger outlet in KL that is as good as Burger King. Maybe because I'm tired of eating Burger King everytime going to KL, WH and I tried a new burger outlet, Carl's Jr in The Pavilion, KL even after we had our lunch (just to try the taste of it). It is really nice, nicer than BK. The fries are crispy, the burger is big and the drink is refillable even for the small and medium set.

Just look at the size of the burger. The fries and the drink are small portion. The bacon is good though ;) There is another burger outlet that is curre...

Are we Malaysians really that friendly?

What happened to the 'SMILE WHEN YOU SERVE' campaign gone? It was just a momentary thing. Nowadays I always see sour face around. Well, I wouldn't say EVERY cashier is like that, some are, I appreciated them, friendly and with courtesy to serve. But how many do we actually see this? I wa...

Joke

Adapted from The Star written by Vance Carson " Whether it is used in the process of making new friends or breaking the ice at parties and business meetings, having a good sense of humour and the ability to crack a joke is an asset to social interaction. Laughing at a person who slips on a banana skin or who receives a cream pie in the face are things most humans snigger at once in a while. Whether or not it is mature or moral to laugh at others, we just can’t help ourselves. A drunken man falls on his bottom, and we laugh before we run to his aid. It is the wicked side of human nature, but a side which also keeps us sane. If we don’t laugh, we go mad. Therefore, it is an important part of learning a language and understanding a different culture that we come to grips with the jokes, gaffes, pranks and all manner of witty asides which we may encounter. Aside from the rather more slapstick events which we find amusing, jokes or amusing comments can help others to warm to us. How...
