A parcel all the way from UK...

I received a parcel from a best friend of mine yesterday. She sent a light blue nike cap to me knowing I will be off to Cambodia next week.

She is such an adorable friend, isn't she?? Isn't it great to have a friend like her?

Thanks LL...I am so touched!

Last.fm

My cousin, Sinh recommended an extremely cool website to me today: http://www.last.fm/. It is actually a UK-based internet radio and music community website.

Last.fm uses a very unique music recommendation system known as "Audiosrcobbler", it builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of all the songs the user listens to, either on the streamed radio stations or on the user's own computer or even ipod. This information is then scrobbled/transferred to Last.fm's database via a plugin installed into the users' music player. Users can then create their custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library.

User will just need to download and install the Last.fm software. Then, just enter an artist/tag to start listening to their personalised radio.

I like it very much because I can access to an unpredictable list of songs! Cool...

Crossing the BORDERS...

I just discovered a great way of searching information prior to going on any trip...

My buddies and I spent about 4 hours in Borders, Times Square today. We dominated a long table in the Starbucks Cafe which is situated within the premises which served pretty much like a conference table for us, ordered a few cups of coffee, turned on the laptop, and chose a stacks of travel guides from the racks and....started planning our trip to Cambodia!

We managed to get all the information that we want like visa applications, admission fees, maps, guest houses, places that we must visit during our trip and etc...from the travel guides books and websites...This made the planning process more joyful with all of us involved...We talked craps, laughed on some funny information that we got and, started imagining our trip....=) and it made me forgot how sick I was!!

Oh gosh...I am so looking forward to this trip...

I Am So Sick......

I am feeling so sick now......With my throat and head aching. I shouldn't have come to work today, I should be lying comfortably on my bed and wrapping myself with blanket!

I still need to crawl to Times Square later on to meet up a few pals to discuss our Cambodia Trip which will be just around the corner. I was the one who initiated this meet up and I was so excited last few days until to the extend I stayed up late at night searching info about Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh. But now, I am like a zombie...I think what will excite me at this moment is only a good rest......

7-Eleven

I just found out that not every 7-eleven operate twenty four seven. This picture was taken when I was on my way to the office and it was 7.40 am in the morning.

So I decided to do some "research" to fulfill my curiosities and the information I got from the Wikipedia are:

7-Eleven is an international franchisor, licensor, and operator of a chain of convenience stores. The company was founded in 1927 in Oak Cliff, Texas, USA, which is now part of Dallas, Texas, when an employee of Southland Ice Company started selling milk, eggs and bread from an ice dock. The original location was an improvised storefront at Southland Ice Company, an ice-manufacturing plant. Although small grocery stores and general merchandisers were present in the immediate area, the managers of the ice plant discovered that selling "convenience items" such as bread and milk was popular. Eventually, several locations would open up in the Dallas area. Initially, these stores were open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., hours unprecedented in their length, hence the name. The company began to use the 7-Eleven name in 1946.

Malaysian 7-Elevens are owned by Convenience Shopping Sdn. Bhd. (CSSB). Convenience Shopping Sdn Bhd (CCSB) was incorporated on 4 June 1984. CSSB is the pioneer of 24-hour convenience stores in Malaysia via its franchise of 7-Eleven stores in Malaysia.

Farewell, Mashi Maro...
