Curiosity kills the cat - CALIMOCHO @ THE WINE SHOP Penang

Image
Curiosity kills the cat? Why? Cause I tried this cola called curiosity cola from Fentimans once and now I am hooked for life. Some time ago I was invited to try this drink called Calimocho at The Wine Shop in Penang. For those who do not know what it is, it's actually a mixture of wine and cola in equal proportion served with ice in it. The blend? Perfect and not to mention best drink on a hot warm day. Not too sweet, not too alcoholic. I was wondering why they didn't bring this to Penang much earlier. The cola used was imported all the way from the UK by Exclusivetea Sdn Bhd. What makes it one of a kind is that Curiosity Cola from Fentimans was botanically brewed. The taste is not as sweet as any other cola in the market but it brings back memories of those cola candy I once had when I was still a kid. We were also served The Wine Shop's famous dishes, oven fresh "vegetarian pizza"   Best wine pairing "Cheese Platter" and juicy...

Blogger United

I am gonna share with you guys this site. It's named Blogger United or more commonly known as BU. OkOk I will just cut the crap and go straight to the point or I will end up writing an essay over it. I am supposed to put up this post up yesterday if not for the rain which left me soaking wet down to the underwear. I had to run to avoid getting more wet (proven by mythbusters) and end up having a cramp feet. Then blogspot had been giving me trouble to upload pictures. Having a cramp isn't good you know. No I am not talking about the once a month cramp here you hamsap fellas. Having the cramp is already bad. Needing to stand all the way in KTM and climb over a gate with that cramped leg does it no better good. So I think I hurt the muscle and hopefully it's not a muscle tear. It's still bloody painfull that I am wearing sports show to work today which looks odd. So what's about BU? Well. It's been some time where I am part of this blogger social network site(about...

Pants on fire while it's down

I was at my friends place some time ago and he is one who always bragged about how many girlfriends he has outside. Oh. By the way he has is married. We were having tea at his place because of some "business" proposals to settle. He was seating quietly reading his morning paper drinking coffee with me. Suddenly, his wife came from behind with a frying pan and almost knocked him senseless then and there. Friend : What was that for? You know pain one anot? Wife : Why do you have a piece of paper in your coat pocket with "Daisy" written on it? Friend : Oh honey, don't you remember two weeks ago before the Chinese New Year when I went to the horse races? Daisy was the name of the horse I bet on. His wife was satisfied with his answer and apologized for wacking him. This morning I went to his place and the same thing happened. The wife came with a frying pan also and wacked him so hard on his head that he can barely stand up after that. Friend : What is this for this...
