Simple Modern Furniture

I love visiting few of my friend's home. Most of them are very house proud. They would take a long time and trouble to source for furnitures that are trendy and in sync with the theme or colour choice around. Most of them love simple furnitures and they like the idea of space. I, too do not like cluttered homes so most of the times there must have enough wardrobe, cabinet and storage space for things. Having many things will only make cleaning complicated. Did you know that Spacify.com offers very cool and MODERN FURNITURE online? Look at this piece of sofa. It looks very nice. Although it has a modern streamlined look, this beautiful piece would do very well in a retro theme too.

Hot Summer Nights? Global Warming lah.

I love the movie Grease, the first one. The sequel was good but not as good as John Travolta's. And I enjoy Olivia's beautiful vocals. The movie was screened in late 70's and it was a favourite of mine. I remembered trying to learn the lyrics then.

Did you know that in those days, we would play songs in cassette tapes and stop/play/stop/play just to write down the lyrics? We didn't have internet access of course and no one knew the lyrics so that was what we did. Of course that stressed out the tape and pretty soon we have tapes that are loosen in the the cassettes and we have to manually wind them when they get caught in the recorder.

Everyone wanted to dress like John Travolta and combing their hair back and looking cool. The girls all had larged permed hair too. Those were the times. During those era, we were not concern about global issues as much and lesser plastic bags were used. No computers, less air conditioning because we seemed to be able to take to the heat better. Peculiar? Nope, like they say it is because of Global Warming that is making our planet warmer than ever.

Support Global Warming? How about Al Gore and Grease. I found this YouTube while searching for some videos. I'm a supporter for Green Living and Grease, of course.. But this one about Al Gore, is just sooo funny! It may lag abit. Mine did, but it's worth the wait because it's very Edu-taining... Enjoy everyone!

All Time Chocolatey High

I took a snapshot of this 3D signage as we were driving around in Penang. This one was taken in Bagan Jermal area and is a place selling Chocolates. I didn't go in there since we didn't have much time and were making our way home. It reads Cocoa Boutique. I wonder if tourists or tourist buses stop by this place for chocolate purchase?

Chocolates are yummy. My favourite brands come from mostly Switzerland such as Lindt. I do not really care for Milk Chocolates but I just simply love Dark Chocolates that has a higher percentage of Cocoa in them. And I must have nuts in them too. I also love the Toblerone Dark Chocolate. I bought quite a few bars recently because they were on offer! The Japan Meiji Dark Chocolate is also quite yummy.. It comes in a very thin bar and costs only about $1.50 only. But there isn't anymore at home so I will replenish my stock when I go shopping on Monday.

Do you have cravings of chocolate? I get that often and sometimes I keep a bar of these yummy snacks in my bag.. but with all that driving in hot sun, my chocolate goes out of shape because it probably melted in the hot sunny weather. I just can't live without chocolates!

Furniture Shopping

My dear friend had just flown to the States on Monday. Currently she is putting up at a hotel and looking for her own apartment. She confirmed one yesterday and is making some decisions to furnish it. She was telling me how she prefer to look for her own Bedroom Furniture as she is very particular about how the colours match. Because her contract will require her to be there at least 2 years, what she need most is a place she can call home since she is so far away and missing family and friends. Her shopping trip is today and I hope she gets to find something she like. On the other hand she could also check out Spacify for cool modern furniture like these below.

I GET ADDICTED TO COKE ZERO

I used to be a Coke collector. Although I don't do that anymore, Cokes that comes in different shapes, bottles still attract me. I saw this one months ago in a supermart and although it was pretty expensive, I still bought them anyway. Instead of keeping it, I had opened it up for a drink. I love Cokes in cans and glass bottles because they are very bubbly, compared to those in PET bottles.

I also realised that there is NO COKE ZERO in Malaysia. Gosh no wonder whenever we asked for COKE ZERO, they just nod the head but end up bringing us COKE regular or the light, or Diet COKE. I kept thinking why these people do not listen to customers and just bring anytime of drinks when we asked for COKE ZERO. Only when I asked my friend and my sis, only I knew that COKE ZERO is not launched in Malaysia yet. Basically, it is quite similar to COKE LIGHT and DIET COKE but it taste less bubbly than those.

Affairs and Cultures

I received this image from a friend's email recently. What a peculiar pic. This is something that probably speaks of a two timed affair or infidelity. Wonder if this pic was doctored or posed for a purpose? Or is this from any movie? My friend described this as affair porn. The context 'porn' comes in many ways so perhaps it is just a tongue in cheek.

Here is another funny signage that I received from another friend by email too. I thought it was funny but there is so much truth in the icons and how the different culture speaks and thinks. That is why sometimes doing business abroad also requires us to know and learn from the culture before determining contracts. It is also good if all can meet halfway and understand each other's traditions, habits and culture.

Modern Office Furniture

My friend will be moving out of her home office soon. She has been working as a Freelance Graphic Designer from home for the past year as rentals for office space has been very expensive. However, she has found a nice little cosy walk up apartment and will be setting it up as an office. To improve the look of a working environment I will help her hunt for nice and simple OFFICE FURNITURE to complete the look. She wants to convert one of the rooms into a little meeting room for potential clients for discussion. Besides looking for meeting tables and chairs, I found this simple yet trendy single sofas which she might like for her library corner.

Mark Lee Co-Owns Old Town, Singapore

Old Town White Coffee is doing very well in Malaysia. The coffee chain with 87 branches of Old Town Cafe in Malaysia specializes in its white coffee from the town of Ipoh is very fragrant.

When the movie Ah Long Pte Ltd was released in February, many Singaporeans had been paying attention to this brand of coffee brand that is one of Malaysian's famous place for lepak. In Penang, I saw a cafe branch among the year old New World Park food outlets at the Swatow Lane vicnity. In malls, they are everywhere you turn.

When I was at the Playground last Saturday, I was pleasantly surprised that there is an outlet of Old Town Cafe over there. And to my surprise, this place is brought in by no other than Mark Lee, the popular comedian actor of Ah Long Pte Ltd. In the papers, it was written that he loved the aroma of these coffee and their signature dishes. Thus, he decided to bring this brand of food outlet into Singapore after positive feedback from a poll he had conducted with his friends and relatives. Among the other business partners is none other than my favourite director, Jack Neo.

I'm sure my Malaysian blogger friends who are fans of Jack Neo's movies and fans of Mark Lee would be happy to know that their homegrown coffee joint has reached Singapore.

Rap Music Source Online

I have been searching for the latest Hip Hop release for a friend of mine. She is hoping to purchase them online before it hits the local music scene. She works in an entertainment night spot and she wants to get them for work purpose. She sometimes get me to help her find Rap Lyrics as well. I was helping her to note down the latest release and dates when I found a source online that caters to all things rap and hip hop, from the Top 10 artists to rap songs, albums and even rap music videos.

Lao Zhar Bor is Funny

Has anyone ever read laozharbor's blog? I sometimes read and watch her YouTube videos which can be very hilarious. She is really bold and she has even done a rap mtv that is also in YouTube. She is a brave elderly woman who tries everything even rap! Cool lah. I don't think I will have her guts when I am older. She will be starring in the Money No Enough sequel again. You can go to her blog at laozhabor.blogspot.com but before you do that you might want to watch this funny rap mtv that was done quite some time ago. Sharing with you all. Have fun and enjoy. I'm sure many of you who watched Jack Neo's movie will recognize her.

Don't forget to off the background music first, ya.

First Image Counts for Business

When you go to an exhibition or trade show, what would be the thing that will draw the customer to their booth? To me is mostly the overview of it. If the booth do not look attractive, chances are one might just walk off and not even pay attention.

Some companies will invest to have their exhibits look good. The need to do this is very important. It is the image of the corporate company or branding and how much he value the products and how he wants to portray his company, his product or his services. It is all part of a marketing package. Some companies do not know what to do in an exhibition. They would just have a table, a few sales people and display their product on it.

When a company has no clue to do up their booths for an exhibition, I believe they can get those who have the experience in trade show exhibits to help them build a successful show. It is important to have proper displays that are effective and attractive to portray the confidence in it's own company. Camelback Displays has many products in their online store. A simple solution to put table covers on is definitely a better option and more effective than to leave it bare.

Some of the exhibit items or products that Camelback Displays carries include banners, trade show furniture, light box, literature holders and even table top display that may be small but create a big impact.
