Technology

Over the years one can see technology in cameras has become more and more advance. For example in this picture



see the difference? The left hand side was taken 2 years back (@Redang) with a 2mp Sony Ericsson mobile phone (W810i) while the right hand side was taken recently in October (@Tioman) with a 7.2mp Sony camera (W120).

Notice that the camera on the left is not very clear. One can clearly see the noise and distortion compared with the one on the right which is clear.

As time goes on technology will surely become even more advanced. In fast as of time of posting the most number of mp packed into a mobile phone camera is 12.1!

* :p Fat vs not so fat. After a year of exercisin. ;) As of posting I am 1kg overweight! woohoo!

Chili's

Last Sunday I had the chance to try out Chili's @ megamall. The food is GREAT. Prices well. are on the high side...blah. expensive. yes you definitely are getting double portion in sizes if compared to normal cafe's/ Wok & Pan :D but after including all the taxes they end up pretty high. cheapest mains start from uh 20 ...ish...right up to steaks which i didnt quite bother to take note of la. so i think its fair to say that it is about 30 bucks per head when comes to dinin here. That is IF you stick to your one main. As if right. You gotta try their appetizers... drinks and what not right. I think its a more of a twice or thrice place to eat in a year.*



*im a student. if i were super rich this may change




Bottomless tostada chips with salsa.
Yep their refillable!

Home salad
If only all salads were this good!. It had tiny tiny few bits of cheese in it which brought a once in a while saltiness to the dish. Very unique.

Chili! (click if you do not know what this is)
This goes superbly well with the bottomless chips!

Swiss mushroom - medium done
the fries are truely great.
the beef was nearly 3/4 of an inch? they didnt overwhelmed the meat with seasonin. You still could taste the natural taste of the beef. havin it done medium allowed some meat juices to still ooze out after every bite.

Fish and Chips
see double portion. normally all you get is one piece. the tartar sauce is really thick!. unlike the bottle ones

Uh southern fried chicken?

uh...dunno. but it had beef ribs, chicken, rice, bacon, corn on cob, beans, some salsa dressing?
tender beef but not fall off the bone. crisp bacon. very nice rice. butter rice or somethin. the sauce was ketchupy? with bbq sauce i think. the beans which came with it on the other hand was yucky. didnt taste right/good at all.

cant wait till my next round here!

Snack

Budweiser and Lay's classic :D

Roti Canai

The stall in the middle serves the one of the best two roti canai there is. The drinks (teh tarik & teh ais) is the best in the world. Yet the prices at this little stall is quite resonable. 80 cents for a kosong and a buck for the teh tarik. They have other types of food too, capati sometimes, the murtabak is good too....chunky...definetly one of the best, nasi lemak, mee goreng, kueh, mee kari, lontong.... lots eh....

This place is located at opp Syarikat Air :D , the empty parking lot opp. Go give it a try in the mornings. You'll definetly be satisfied.

Pork Bone Tea

Homemade bak kut teh....
Dont worry I didnt do this. I only peeled the 15's quail eggs =p

Tioman Island

Last tuesday a few friends and I headed for a holiday after our training/exams. We went to Tioman :D


The journey was pretty long as the bus from Melaka to Mersing took about 4 hours? If not mistaken stoppin to pick up and drop passengers at Muar and Kluang.

The ferry ride was long too compared to Redang which I went a couple years back.



As for the place between these two island well. It definetly hard to call which is better..
Foodwise Tioman wins hands down. They have cafes/restaurants/a bar selling food. Any kind of food you want you can get it.
Swimmin wise however I personally feel that Redang is a whole lot better.
But for more activities/shoppin Tioman is better as they have a duty free shop.
Tioman is very well developed compared to Redang.
I think on MY scale of 10. Redang is 10/10. Tioman will sit beside it at 9.5/10. Very hard to decide which is better. But if given a chance I will definely go back.



Caught this the first morning with a friend.

Pored hot water on it then dugged in. It was sooooooooo GOOD!





Went to the waterfall as well at the southern part of the island.









53MYR. Cheap! Especially the beer...fuuuu..... had one before snorkellin even. 2.5 for limau ais. 3 for a Bud. What would you choose?

Oh price wise. Well the food prices are STEEP. YOU gotta budget yourself out with activities and food.
My holiday cost around 380. Inclusive transportation/food/activities/alcohol/lodging/etc. Quite resonable I think.

A&W Melaka

The drink, good. BUT you can do it yourself. Get a bottle of A&W and a tub of ice cream. Ta-da homemade float. Just as good, waaaaay cheaper.

The food. Sucks. Waited for half an hour. You'd expect waiting for so long for it to be good and hot right? Nope, came out plain and warm only and the beef toppings was say... you'll know that it has been frozen and reheated. Size was also not very big. Its something like a mc chicken burger? But double the price!

The service. Way of the charts. I went in at 1.20, place an order waitied till 1.48 for them to get the order wrong then waited another 5 minutes to get the right order. Finished it in a minute or two. The service is really really bad. One of the worst. Definetly the worst for a fast food restaurant.

My lunch was 40 minutes at a fast food outlet. That isnt my definition of fast food. Plus lunch aint cheap. My bro and I had two floats, 2 hotdogs, 2 regular fries. Came up to 22++

I doubt I would go back. Maybe for a float ONLY.
Guess another vote for McD.
