Ciggie Review - Jet Cigarettes

I opened up the second of the three cigarettes bought back for me from Vietnam yesterday night when I went out for a drive as it was damn boring at home...


this Jet brand is typical of American cigarettes, similar to those of Winston, which is too strong for my liking. After the first stick, I was already abit pening... -____-

I only took 2 sticks last night and was already thinking: "How am I gonna finish this pack ahh??"

I brought it to the office and left it on the table... maybe I'll treat some other colleagues who smokes Winston...

have been busy lately...

I have been pretty busy lately, typically with work. Just finished an assignment, and another report is due in two weeks+ time... crap!!!


The above is just a snapshot of past industry reports done by yours sincerely.

Have been doing this for the past 4 years, and this is the 5th year I'm with the company. Stress level is actually minimal, and only during deadlines that I am busier with getting the respective reports out.

Chicago 7

I wrote in a previous post about trying out the broasted chicken from Chicago 7, so this time, I'm posting about the restaurant itself...



it was raining when I reached the place, but with plenty of car park around, it's relatively convenient...


the restaurant is simple and clean... pretty much the standard of fast food chains...
there are microphones on each ordering counters, so after you have placed your orders, the one serving you will let the kitchen know the orders over the microphone...


plenty of seats available, and there is even a desktop for customers to use...


also, there are a few tables set up outside specially for those who smokes...

the place opens up until 12am daily, so those who hang out late have another choice for late suppers apart from going to the 24 hour McDonald's downtown. The KFC opposite opens until 11pm only...

raining in Kuching for the past few days....

it has been raining for the past few nights, and it's somewhat frustrating as we had less choices to choose from when going out yumcha, or worse still, chose to stay home instead...



however, it was Liverpool vs Bolton on Sunday night, so despite the rain, me, hedo and her ah-bee went over to Victoria Arms@Merdeka Palace to watch the game as our usual 3rd mile open air kopitiam was infested by people listening to them politicians giving out their speech for the coming weekend election...

Liverpool went on to win the match 3 - 1, with a comical opening goal from captain Steven Gerald. It would have been a great place to watch football albeit for the loud live band playing at the background...
