Economy Crisis - The Beginning

-
As I'm on half day yesterday, I didn't heard when our company big boss mentioning about the 'shutdown'. Like what mention in SecretGarden's blog, shutdown for maintenance is a very common thing in semiconductor. However, it is not common when ever semicon start to have this tactic of shutdown for maintenance.

When I got to my office, I heard that the shutdown would be a week. This means indirectly, we are to take 1 wks leave? I also don't know but most probably it will be force leave? Well, then again, when discussing about this with a friend of mine, she mention that her company in Penang is having 2 wks maintenance shutdown end of Dec'08. Can I consider myself as lucky since my company is only one week? Well, good thing also that the shutdown MIGHT probably be some where near to Chinese New Year.

What is happening around the globe? Why is all the company either declaring bancruptcy or just collapse or are force to lay off the people? Being a self-employed, this is the risk of losing our 'rice bowl'. Why is these private company are all so selfish and only think of their own benefits???

WIth this kind of econom circling around, my life too not going too well. Hhmm, couple of weeks ago, I have to replace my car's petrol opener as its missing.. RM55 gone! When I took half day yesterday, I forgot to put parking ticket. And again another 'saman' ticket. Huhuhuhu.....

I keep missing toto number or didn't buy and it came out! Why am I so lucky to get saman ticket?? I wish I'm as lucky as that in toto toooooo !!!! Too bad to say it now as the other day my car number came out, RM200!!!!!!! GGrrrrrrrrr........

Back to the topics, so what shall I do if the shutdown is not during/before CNY ??? Sleep and eat at home?

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few ...

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

Have anyone been to this place? I actually asked SK to help in translating them into English. According to her 'xiao' refers to small while 'ba wang' is gangster. Hhmmmm.... It is located right opposite the Stutong Market. BF say this is second branch. For me, this is the first time I saw it. This is a good place for 'pao' lovers to have their breakfast. BF and I went there once for breakfast since it's on the way to our workplace. First impression - I like it here. Not much traffics and the place is clean. Second impression - what happen to the day dreaming waitresses?? I want to take my order! Third impression - do they know that we are waiting? The food is nice. For BF, it is superb. He has been eating 'pao' for breakfast for almost everyday. Well maybe like what he say, for me everything is the same. But I must say the dim sum is nice. Anyway, I think they should really improve the workers efficiency. The other day, BF forgotten whether he had ...
