The Raving Monkey

This actually allows me to post blogs directly from my E71 without a web browser. Pretty cool stuff.

Just testing it now.

I can even add images:

I found that most of the Thai food in town is managed by the same folks. Amarin is just one of the branches of Thai food restaurant scattered around KL and PJ. Strategically located in the centre court of Mid Valley, I find that the food here is quite nice and appetizing.

Even the plain water is served in a nice disposable plastic cup with a slice of lemon (this cost RM 0.50).

For starters, we ordered the Mix Combo which comes with money pouch, fried fish cake (cooked with lemongrass), bread, salad roll and prawn roll. Very nice indeed. (RM 18.00)

For the main course, we normally share among the both of us. I got the pineapple friend rice (Khow Ob Sapparod – RM 16.00) and of course the famous thai noodles (Phad Thai Gung – RM 15.00).

Get the Thai chilli sauce to compliment the meal.

Yes.. it works.

If you are around the Bangsar Village area and need a place to eat some nice food, why not drop by to D’lish (it has an entrance from the super-market and from outside).

Try the cappuccino, it’s really nice and creamy served with sprinkle of chocolate powder on the top of the foamy milk. Normally, my wife will order this drink as I’m more of an Iily Coffee person (there is also a new Espressamente opened in Bangsar Village … must try that some day).

I decided to try the Beef Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle). They served this with slices of beef, noodle, a cut of lime, mint leave, spearmint, bean sprout and chilli slice for decoration. All in all, this was a nice warm meal. Go try it.

My wife ordered her usual "Roti Jala" … basically it is served with curry chicken (I don’t have the photo of the roti jala from D’lish … unfortunately). Also very nice and filling (although it does taste slightly sourish).

I wanted to try the Iced tea which was just so-so.

So next time you’re in Bangsar, drop by and have a try.

I have been using my old Bridgestone Potenza (came with the car) for almost 5 years now and it was about time to change tyres. The old "shoes" already had a tear in the front right tyres (thanks to some nails left on the road) and the rear right tyre had a wall tear and was leaking badly. I loved those original tyres that came with the Alfa, it was actually made in Japan and they performed beautifully. So then, how can I find something that can match the performance but not kill me with the price tag?

Ok, ok … I admit. I’m a sucker for small gadgets. As some of you are aware, I do travel a lot for business and personal leisure. It has always been a chore to lug around a heavy 14.1″ notebook that weighs in at about 2.3 kg is a real back killer. So when I heard about the new range of netbooks that are available with Windows XP, it’s a sure buy.

Then came the problem of WHICH netbook to buy (netbook is a term coined by the fancy marketing folks in Intel for this new batch of mini notebooks … previously known as UMPC — Ultra Mobile Personal Computers). I mean, almost every PC manufacturer in the world had came out with their own version bearing their own pros and cons. There is the infamous Asus EeePC, the Acer Aspire One, the Lenovo Idealpad S10, MSI Wind, and the list goes on and on and on like a never tiring Energizer bunny. The one that really caught my eye was the sexy and thin HP Mini 1000. This is one to die for.

Krusell has been known for coming out with really nice cases (and a large collection of them for all models of phones, PDAs and other devices). I have recently acquired a Nokia E71 and it does feel a bit naked. Yes, Nokia does provide the standard slot-in type case but I needed something that gave more security.
