1. Went to Nando's for the chicken and corn, well, they change the chicken, and was out of the corn. Darn! The thing with food is never change your classic products!
2. Looked for the May 2004 Vanity Fair at Kinokuniya, and as always, they don't have it. Darn! Gonna have to look for this in Singapore!
3. Browsed through any new interesting clothing collections, disappointingly, nothing refreshing. Boring! Catalog shopping? Nah!
4. Bought tickets at the Putra ticket machine, well, "Wang Kertas Tidak Diterima". Darn! And saw this guy went mad when his Touch 'n' Go card didn't work. What is wrong, people!!!, and
5. In one of the headlines in the business news today, EPF employee contribution to revert to 11%. Oh, hello! Has the government gone broke now? Bad move, eh, to cut people spending and expenditure at the time when we need expansion? Policy!

Another thing is that, as Google goes public, the product quality of competing providers like Yahoo will sure to be raised. Ultimately, we the consumer got all these free cool great products! The bad thing is, as things got better, we might become less motivated to learn how to create them. Or perhaps, you might be motivated to learn more. Haha, enough for today. Later ;-)
