Site Review

FurnitureFromHome dot com is a good site to visit if you wish to buy furniture online. The web site has dark rosewood and yellow orchre colors that complements each other. It has a cozy feel and wooden furniture earth colors. There are more than 50 varieties of metal bar stool from the link and each picture is described carefully and linked to a shopping cart for your convenient online payment.

For instance, there are Bar stools that have higher legs to drink wine and Champaign by the bar. The stools are naturally higher like those you see in Pubs and Bars. Then there’s also the Swivel Bar Stool for easy body movement while sitting and the fun of mobile stools. You can turn 360 degrees without having to turn your head or body to look at another angle. There’s also wrought iron bar stool for a more solid seating while drinking your wine or beer.

Web sites that come with a merchant account and shopping carts are more expensive to develop and need high maintenance to take in orders. The web site is just like a salesman doing the sales for you online. And it is all automatic and independent. Just link the shopping cart software to the merchant account or payment gateway and voila, you have made your sales online. That is how online technopreneurs rake in thousands in a short time. FurnitureFromHome dot com is one such web site and I can see that it must have taken a long time to link all the individual products of chairs and stools to the shopping cart. The web site is comprehensive and complete with all things furniture. Just pay by credit card and have the items delivered right to your door steps. There are so many selections to choose from that you will be spoilt for choice.

My Birthday tomorrow

On the 6th of July is my birthday. And I will be going to KL for business trip tomorrow. So looks like I will spend my actual birthday in Kuala Lumpur. It has been a family tradition to treat my family members during my birthday and also on their birthdays. So it is like this. Whoever celebrates their birthday will treat the rest on this special occasion. When I was younger, my dad used to bring back a nice cake with a birthday card. Now that we have outgrown cakes, which adds to the cholesterol level, we decided to dine in good restaurants. I guess when I come back from KL, I plan to treat them lobster thermidor in one of the Chinese restaurant by the beach.

Summertime ''Diamond'' Feelings

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Wherever you go, you will see the well-heeled adorned with diamonds such as a diamond pendant, a solitaire diamond right or diamond bracelet and earrings. Since it’s rapidly approaching the hot and sweltering summertime, it is time for some Summertime ''Diamond'' Feelings. I have bought myself a small diamond cross a few years back while working in Singapore. At that time, I was too stressed from work and pampered myself to some "Diamond Feelings" of a cross. And it comes with a white gold chain that matches it. I guess very girl will feel special wearing diamond accessories like a diamond bracelet, diamond earrnings, necklaces, diamond pendant or a diamond tiara on a wedding day.

By the way Suchou does not have any airport and the nearest one is Shanghai.

Transformers Talk

Today, I hope to catch the Transformers debut opening on 28th June 2007 in Malaysia. If you are new to the world of Transformers, here is some information about the robots and popular terms to get you started.

AUTOBOTS - This team of Transformers stand for all that is good in the universe and defend freedom for all that want it. Their goal is to maintain peace in the universe. They have a strong leader in Optimus Prime, but they use teamwork to stop the Decepticons.

CYBERTRON - Cybertron is the home planet of the Transformers. Cybertron itself houses one of the Tranformers inside name PRIMUS, an ancient warrior who made the ultimate sacrifice... he gave up his ability to transform in order to save the universe from Unicron.

DECEPTICONS - A group of Transformers that use their power to destroy anything in their way. Their singular goal is domination...and they will exploit anyone and anything that stands in their way.

MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP - A physical piece that Optimus wears inside his chest cavity. The Matrix of Leadership is the "crown" carried by each Prime...currently Optimus Prime.

MEGATRON - Leader of the Decepticons. Ruthless and cold, Megatron has only one goal, ultimate power and rule over the entire galaxy. Megatron's very nature was ruthless from the beginning and he chose the name Decepticon to wear as homage to his deceit.

MINI-CONS - Small but powerful Tranformers, mini-cons communicate primarily through actions and sounds. The mini-cons are a peaceful, working race of the Transformers who have both partnered with the Autobots and been enslaved by the Decepticons. In the past, they have made strong bonds with human children, mostly due to their size.

OPTIMUS PRIME - Also called Optimus, he is the leader of the Autobots. Many years ago, the Matrix of Leadership "chose" him to be the next Prime, or leader. He humbly accepted, which changed the course of his life from simple working class 'bot on Cybertron to leader of the strongest benevolent force in the Universe, the Autobots. When leading his team into battle, Optimus' signature phrase is "Transform and Rollout!"

MAS to buy 20 turbo-propeller aircraft for Firefly

Malaysian Airlines System (MAS) has recently inked RM62 million deal to buy 20 turbo-propeller aircraft for its subsidiary, Firefly from an Italian based short-haul aeroplane manufacturer. The ART 72-500s aircraft was for the use of Firefly, which would soon go into its expansion phase. Firefly was formed earlier this year and is termed by MAS as a community-based airline with low-cost prices. At present, Firefly flies to 5 destinations from Penang, its base. The destinations include Kota Bahru, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, Langkawi and Koh Samui. The ATR 72-500s will be based in its present Penang hub as well as its new hubs in Subang, Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu.

Back from Kota Bahru

Last night, at about 10:00pm, the Firefly plane touched down Penang's Bayan Lepas International Airport from Kota Bahru. It was a fruitful visit and we stayed in Sutera Inn family room for RM100 a night. When we went there, most of the hotels were full house like Renaissance Hotel and New Pacific Hotel. There was a big shot or someone important who visited Renaissance Hotel, the most classy hotel in Kelantan. We could see many huge police motorbikes accompany the big shot driven in a black S600 Mercedez Benz. Since there were so many policemen accompanying this important minister, we decided to try other hotels for more privacy and not having to avoid so many policemen. With the help of our first client, we managed to get the family room in Sutera Inn, a modest accomodation in Kota Bahru.
