More nice songs.

Just want to show some nice music.

離人

張學友, Jacky Cheung's original version, I feel it is more emotional and more easy on the ears. More melancholy which brings out the favour better.


林志炫, Terry Lin, version, I feel that the highs are nice and good but somehow the attention is shifted onto the pitches rather than on the song.


and finally

Julie's Crispy Choco Wafer Rolls








Bought this Julie's product to try as I love Julie's biscuit.
However, this is a disappointment as it is a bit dry and hard. Taste is not so good and actually it is a bit bitter and not sweet as I expected it to be. Well, what to do as I am just trying it out. Not going to buy this anymore.

FF3

Yeah. A bit slow i know but haha nonetheless I am going to blog about it.

Tried out Firefox 3 at office as office PC is always the guinea pig for new software. Do not want to cause my own PC to have problems and spend time fixing it.

The experience is quite good as sites seems to load faster even without fasterfox. Everything looks nice and good. As usual, there is the teething issue of addons and extensions that cannot work but given time, those individual developers will irons out the kinks. Temporarily, you can get the Nightly Tester Tools to force addons and extensions to work for the time being. Lucky for me, those few stuff I use already has a FF3 version out already.

The issue for me is the dropdown bar in the url bar is not exactly friendly, do download oldbar to get back the old FF2 dropdown bar. Search engine is still FF3 so you might want to tweak the config to show no suggestions as it will provide suggestions from your history and bookmarks. You can find the tweaks from here.

Overall, it is a good experience and perhaps when FF3 allows you to use the oldbar back and the old suggestion engine without config tweak or addons, it will be better~!

Inflation and food prices going up

As expected, food prices and inflation will follow with it.

It has been a long issue with either a 50km ban or foreign cars pumping at unsubsidised rate at Malaysia, it has finally comes to this. Fuel subsidy to be withdrawn, affecting both Malaysians and foreigners.

The higher fuel price means it costs more to transport food, etc to Singapore. The higher transportation costs mean the goods, mainly food, will increase. News has reported that vegetables and poultry have already increase by a small amount.

With the Malaysia government set to remove all subsidies within a short period, the price will continue to escalate.

Well done.
