Do you know what fruit is the most difficult to eat? It is this one:

Yeap, it is the pomegranate. If you are not careful the juice can stain your shirt or clothes. How do you eat a fruit filled with seed? If you bite onto eat and you probably will get the skin which is bitter. Let me share this method which I discovered.

First you need to cut the fruit into 2 halves. Take a big bowl so that the seed will not fall all over the place. Take 1 half and use your fingers and break the skin so that the seed fall out onto the bowl. Slowly break the skin and the seed will just fall nicely on the bowl. Do not use a spoon to scoop as the juice will squirt all over.

When you have all the seed removed, look into the bowl for unwanted skin. You don’t want to chew on those skins as it is bitter. Wash those seeds and you can add a little sugar. Now you can scoop it with your spoon and suck the juice out. Spit out the seed into the garbage can. Need?

One thing with the iPhone is that it is very children friendly. Imagine my children know where to find the games and can operate on their own. My youngest is only 4 and she can maneuver it. She is able to take pictures, remove pictures and view pictures by herself. I just show her once and she could do it.

Ooh, my 4 year old can even call the papa using my iPhone without help. She did it when I was driving.

I must give it to Apple team to create such a phone that is so easy to use with minimal tech knowledge. Before the iPhone I used to own another brand. To date, I still do not know how to dial a number using short cut key. The menu drives me crazy as most the functions are not categorized properly. There are so many layers.

Too bad, now the purchase of the iPhone comes with a 2 year telco plan. If anyone knows which country is not offering a plan, I would want to get another one. Nah, it is not for my kid. Maybe for my mom who has no knowledge of IT whatsoever. It will be so cool.

I wanted to review the Häagen Dazs Mooncake but I forgot about it until I saw those pictures in my hard drive. Yeap, I got 2 mooncakes from Häagen Dazs, all because I have vouchers for it. It is very costly too.

Anyway, I like the chocolate coating plus the creamy ice-cream inside. I didn’t like the mango sorbet that was supposed to be the egg of the mooncake. Somehow they sorbet doesn’t mixed well with the sorbet ice cream. Overall, it was okay but I really wouldn’t get it if it is not free. No doubt the quality of the ice-cream is there.

If I have more Häagen Dazs vouchers, I probably would try the cake next. Are they good, anyone wished to comment?

Yesterday I have the fastest face to face meeting. The project manager invited all of us, asked us if there are any issues. We voiced our issues and gave our recommendations. He agreed and it was the end. We can be as efficient as we can be.

Lots of time, we go into a meeting and have an hour discussion or even ran over time. Yet no decision can be made. Coming out from it, we realized that we wasted precious time. Who is responsible for that? Now I think about it, it sounds very much like our parliamentary debate.

It really takes a good team players and a decisive leader to make things go more efficient.

Today an engineer asked me whether the hard disk cage is lockable? I wonder why she want to lock the hard disk. *giggles*

During the Raya break, I went back to my hometown in KL. I was feeling a little out of place. I didn’t get used to many things which I liked to jot down.

First, the people drive too fast. I believed I was once like that. When I was on the highway, drivers were going fast not only on the right side but left as well. They like to cut in real close to my car even when I was driving on a constant speed which is the speed limit. Of coz, their signal lights were protected accessories that they seldom used.

Secondly, I was shopping at Mid Valley. As I was queuing to pay and I was the last in the queue. A lady came by, looked at the queue and went straight to the cashier. She dropped her stuff at the cashier table. She was standing there waiting for the cashier to service the guy in front of me. I stared at her but she paid no attention to me. If I was my usual self, I would have told her off. I didn’t but kept staring at her. She felt no shame for cutting queue.

Thirdly, at my very home, drivers like to park in the middle of the road or double parked. My mom said it is a norm here. *roll eyes*

I always wondered why some KL (not all) people are always in a hurry. Where are they going? Or is it the lifestyle that makes them like this. I wonder….

If you want to make a nice tutu for your little gal and you do not know how to sew, here is some help. Click here for a step by step guide with pictures to show you.

It is a non-sew handmade tutu. You do not need any sewing skills. It is simple. All you have to do is cut and tie. It is good for a Halloween costume. Your gal can be a fairy with it. To add color to the tutu, you just have to buy colored netting material. White goes with anything. You can alternate white with your favorite color.

The cost for me to do this is only RM10

Finally Big Apple is here in Penang at Gurney Plaza. However most of the donut offered today were too choc-ky . And my peanut butter donut is nowhere to be found.

Well, let’s see whether it will survive in Penang. I didn’t see any queue on a Saturday. Maybe they didn’t do much publicity and I only found out about it when shopping there.

Now will J.CO come over here too? We will see.

Many people are addicted to coffee and my mom is one too. However I cannot drink coffee. I remembered when I was young, I was okay with coffee. It did no harm to me right until my University days. It happened one day when I had those boxed coffee drink with milk. I was sick for the whole day.

After that, whenever I a sip coffee, I will be sick. I will feel nausea, heart pound faster and just not myself. I am not sure why but it seems that my body system cannot accept coffee. If you say it is caffeine but I can take coke or tea. What’s with coffee that I cannot take? Someone told me that coffee is too heaty for me.

I do love the smell of coffee but just can’t take it. My mom can take coffee like 3 times a day. I wonder does my children have coffee problem.

I just accidentally drank coffee as I speak because I thought the free cup coming from the vending machine was milk tea. Oooh I am going to feel sick. 🙁

How many of you check your saving accounts statement monthly? Few weeks ago, I checked my statement and saw my bank HSBC charged a fee of RM5 for month of Aug and Sep. I was really surprised because for more than 8 years I was with them, there was no fee whatsoever.

I called their helpline and when you need them, no one picked up the phone. I tried twice but failed to get someone to talk to me. I went to their website and left a feedback. A customer service officer emailed me and called me. She told me that she will investigate.

The thing is when they offered the account, they didn’t tell me there was a fee attached to it. The account was offered to my husband company for employees for salary deposit. No fees were mentioned. Anyway, I didn’t want to argue with them and requested for the refund for RM10 they took from my account. I will in turn close the account for good.

I was frustrated that they charge us without any notification. I will never open an account with RM5 monthly. It is day light robbery!

Do check your statement frequently to check for unknown charges.

Finally a Domino outlet is opened near my area. Now they delivered to my home. Frankly I never tasted Domino’s before. I always wanted to get my teeth on it but the only outlet was in town. If I go down town, I probably will not go for pizza.

Anyway, I decided to have Domino’s Pizza on Saturday. I tried to register myself online and I failed. They probably didn’t update the database. It kept saying that it didn’t deliver to my area. A bug in the website search engine too.

So I picked up the phone to order. The staff that took my order had me repeating my info a few times and worse he mispronounced my name, even though I told him what it was! That is why I preferred to order online. Sigh.

The pizza came. I regretted ordering the thin crust because it is real thin. It was cheesy compare to Pizza Hut. However I found that the toppings weren’t sufficient. I like the breadstix, it was delicious. I preferred the chicken wings from Pizza Hut because Domino’s wings have too much BBQ sauce.

Ooh…they even provide chili flakes for the pizza. I like that. I really should have order Classic Crust!

Here is my meal….
