Baby check

It's that time of the week for pre delivery baby check. Another 2-3 weeks to go till baby is due. As usual the queue is long. Since we have time to spare may as well have a little breakfast.

The cafe at the hospital do make a nice coffee though the breakfast meal is rather simple. Anything to make my tummy from growling.

My wife managed to grab a couple of free MacDonald breakfast coupons but we are nowhere near an outlet. Perhaps another day. Have to use it quick before it expires though!

and their specialty? La la of course! Apart from their famous clams is their selection of seafood dishes.

Tumblr

Here's another interesting social website - Tumblr. Learned about from webproworld. It seems to be catching up on its popularity. Since it is free I just sign up and have a go. As a social blogging platform I think it is much better than Vox. And you can use a Android app for mobile blogging on the go too. in addition you can plug in your subdomain to give your website better standing in SERP. I'm going to explore this Tumblr blog app and see its feature for awhile.

Desa Park City

Our cousin was going to give a baby car seat to us. They live in Desa Park City, an upmarket residence in Petaling Jaya. Since they're still not home yet when we arrived, we have a look see around Desa Park City.

Being upmarket, Desa Park City has a very modern architecture and felt much like western city suburbs. It has a very calming effect and the neighbourhood feels very safe.

Of course such luxury comes with a price tag. I think I won't be able to get an address here given the income I'm earning. As a place for investment it is probably out of my league. Guess I have to look around for property investment that is within my means.

Desa Park City is a nice, upmarket residence.

Weather is so hot!

The El Nino is making the weather in Malaysia here so hot. And my wife is taking a long time to nake an exchage for something she bought for the soon to come baby. I really needed to get away from this heat. The babyland aircon isn't very cool and the McDonald across the shop hasn't got an efficient aircon either. So I decided to pop over to Prince Cafe here located in SS2. I know they have a powerful air conditioning. Ordered myself a cool cold drink to cool myself down. Really needed that!

Streamyx is kinda slow today

Streamyx is kinda slow again. Heard that an undersea cable was damaged. Seems like natural disasters are creating a bit of a havoc to the modern digital life of today. Our reliance on electronics to get us by can so easily be thwarted by natural phenomena like earthquake, volcanoes, solar flares, that surely makes our life pretty precarious indeed.

it is indeed unberably slow. trying to post anything takes ages! heard that the cable will be fixed by 2/may/2010. although streamyx reroute the data connection, the connection is just way below par!

Italian set lunch

Been planning to try this italian restaurant called Olive in taman tun dr ismail (TTDI). They have set lunches and looks very affordable. Decided to give it try. Taste was good. I tried the spaghetti aglio olio with skewer chicken. A bit dry on the spaghetti but otherwise it was acceptable for the price paid.
