Is autumn time

Many times that I travel to US, I will never have chance to see trees changing to this color. Last 2 days when I drove to "factory outlet" for shopping, I saw these trees were so nice. The scenery is not as nice as Japan “Jepunlauee” or “Kacang” hometown but I really enjoy it. The weather here still very hot about 85F – 90F ( 30C – 35C). Below is the picture that I taken from factory outlet in Folsom.

Phone Book Directory

We know that Malaysia have Yellow Pages (the phone book directory). Every year Telekom will issue new phone book for every house. Sometimes I am lazy go to town to get one. What I do is visit http://yellowpages.com.my/ to look for the shop name or address that I wanted to search for. What I normally search is Hospital, Taxi and Pizza Hut. In US, they also have similar Phone Book services but they have different system that can search through phone number instead of name only. Hope that Malaysia will launch a similar system in future.

Japanese Sweet

Last month my colleague gave me this sweet to try out. It's really surprises me after I took it. The taste was so good and smell good when talk to people...hah! I try to search at supermarket unfortunately I can’t get it. If anyone of you know where to find it, please leave me a comment. Thank you in advance.

US directory service

When I arrived in US, sometimes I forget my friend's home address. What I normally do is to search through Reverse Phone Book website. This website can provide first and last name, street address, city and state of the owner. It is really make my life easier to find my friend's detail and result is shown immediately. Not wasting my time to look around and keep calling my other friends and wasting my phone bill.

Popcorns

In US Resident Inn hotel, there are always ready with popcorns in the room. I still remember when the first time I was here, I was so happy and excited to try out the taste of the popcorns. After putting the popcorns into microwave, set for 3 minutes, I can hear the sound “pop, pop, pop”. I was so excited and can't wait to taste it. When I heard “ting” from the microwave, I immediately opened and grabbed some to taste. Oh no, it is salty in taste. I was very disappointed. I thought it was sweet type like what we usually have in Malaysia, sigh! But at the end I also finished it up because I don't want to waste any food. Today, I'm here in US again. I purposely want to try it whether the taste got any changes or not, and the answer is ...still the same - salty.

Online Car Loan

I read through “The Star” news online that dated 28 Sep 2008, I found this statement quoted.

PETALING JAYA: Car buyers will have to pay more in monthly instalments now that hire purchase interest rates have gone up. Just a few months ago, banks offered interest rates at around 2.5%. Now, the rates are between 3.4% and 4.7% for new cars.

This is rather a bad news to my nephew who planned to purchase a new car as the Car Loans interest rates is in such a hike now. I think is time to recommend him to take a look on this website basiccarloans.com that provides nationwide online car loan services for all people in need of a new or used vehicle moreover its offering very low and extremely competitive interest rates.

Well, for those who have a poor credit, yet still need to purchase a new or used car and also need a car loan, then you really need to pay a visit to the site basiccarloans.com. Check out the program call Bad Credit Car Loans where it can provide car financing and also provide a valuable opportunity for you to rebuild your shaky credit.

Hong Kong Airport

I have to transit my flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco. During this time frame I like nothing to do and walk around. After the airport said delay for additional 4 hours I really like crazy. What I do is take picture from north to south and east to west. Below are few pictures that I taken:

This is the 747 plane that I going to take. Is a good plane and I won’t few shake when the way to SFO. Compare to Singapore airline 777 really different a lot. No wonder people say that 747 is a good plane. First time take this plane.

Here is Cathay Pacify VIP launch. This is the place where I rest couples of hours.

Birthday Party

Last few weeks back was my nephew birthday party. I still remember when I was young; definitely our friends will do some special move after us cutting the cake. They will move the candle close to the surface to the cake and ask us to use mouth withdraw the candle. Remember? Than below case will happen if you have such a good friend…

Looks what happen? Who press my head?

At the end my nephew chases one of his friends to use his T-shirt to wipe off his face.

Bed Bugs

Last week, my mom came to have a stay at my house for several days. She is complaint that after she wake up, she feel her whole body and hand gets itching. The itchiness might cause by any types of bed bugs I supposed. The main reason is that most of the time our guest room is vacant and this make the chances for bed bugs to infest.

Luckily I remember my wife has blog out related bed bugs website which is bedbugsguide.com that show all the tips on how to get rid of bed bug infestation.

SOBE Drinks

Everytime when I have a chance to come to US, for sure I will get this SOBE drinks as my beverage. It has many flavors but I only like this type as the taste is just great to me! I think it should be guava taste if I'm not mistaken.

I can't find this drinks in Penang, Malaysia. If anyone of you come across this drinks in Penang, please inform me yah!

Unrecognize Phone Numbers

I hate most is when I was enjoying movie and suddenly telephone rang and I’ve to pause my movie and get up to answer the phone call. And the most irritated is that when I reach my phone, it turns to be a missed call and sometimes I did answer a prank call.

I was hoping so much that Malaysia will also have the Nationwide Phone Lookup online site that allow us to identified the unknown phone numbers and to know who is calling us.

Like in US, people can just log on to 50statephonelookup.com to look for the unknown phone results like owner’s name, address, phone carrier, line type , zip code, city and state. It is really a great website. Don't you think so?

Dinner at Mongolian Restaurant

Today after 3pm feel sleepy and immediately fall into sleep after lying down to bed due to time exchanged because of flight from Penang to US. About ~ 6pm my hotel phone rang just like wake up call. My colleague asks me do I want to go for dinner with him. I said ok lo since you wake me up already. He said got one very good restaurant at Sunrise Blvd. After reach the restaurant, the boss asking are we from Taiwan and we say no. I said we are from Malaysia and any discount? She said sure got than passed us the discount card. This discount card you will need to stamp 10 times only free 1 dinner. This also called discount??? Per person about USD12 not so bad deal.

Here is the restaurant overview.

HongKong Airport Food

Today touch down Hong Kong airport after window shop, feel hungry so when to find some food for lunch. I know that Hong Kong “Sui Kow” Very good so I have order this as my lunch. The food was delicious even eat inside Hong Kong Airport. I was wondering if I go out to street food on “Sui Kow” should be even better. Yummy! You must try if you got chances transit at Hong Kong airport.

Comics

Today would like to share one of my hobbies. I like to buy Chinese comics especially with good story. Some comics during grandmother year already exist and are difficult to find. I actually look for “Da Ge Chi” (Story about Sumo) and “Hao Xiao Chi” (Story about Japanese bamboo sword). This 2 story book took me more than 8 years to search for it and finally I got it. Not only the name of book but I also look for specify brand and paper quality. Below is the cabinet that I use to keep all comics.

Above comics only can get second hand and no more new book available in market.
