Nowadays, people are getting too busy and need to follow up many stuff on internet such as check emails, check twitter message and replies, check facebook status and photos and follow up important RSS feeds. Normally I am using iGoogle and recently I have a tried on NetVibes as I found their interface look cool and solid, importantly is the performance is fast.

Until today, early morning after make a cup of nescafe and opening up my netvibes page, it is being loading non-stop and finally showing screen as photo below:

And have several tries on it, it does displaying screen as following:

netvibes-message

Just imagine if you keep important notes in your netvibes notepad, you will be unable to retrieve your notes. Just a lesson for me not too relying on free services ever.

Today I was struggling about “Where should we go for our dinner?”

[In the car]

Me: Where to have our dinner? (as usual, common question)

My wife: dont know~!

Me: [Straight turn into One Utama, because my house in Bandar Utama which just behind One Utama]

Me: So what kind of food you looking for?

My wife: Kind of noodle..

Me: Ok.. [I was thinking of Vietnam Kicthen in my mind]

[In One Utama]

We walk nearby Vietnam Kicthen and there is a restaurant called Dragon-i Restaurant, so we walk in because we see the queue is empty.

Me: 2 person..

Waiter: Ok follow me… and after 5 minutes.. we standing there because no seat for us..

Me: I think we should go to another restaurant..

My wife: OK…

[Walk to Vietnam Kicthen]

Me: 2 person..

Waiter: Hold on pls… [and she walk away..]

[After 2 minutes, another waiter come..]

Me: 2 person..

Waiter: Please write your name..

Me: Why? No seat?

Waiter: ya..

Me: How long?

Waiter: hm…….. 5 minutes…

Me: Ok we wait…

[After few minutes.. still no seat..]

Me: I think we go for another restaurant.

My wife: ok. but where?

Me: I remember Jack’s place on down stair quite nice.

My wife: ok, but kinda expensive.

Me: nvm. let’s go..

[In Jack's Place]

Finally, we manage to settled our dinner by ordering 1 set dinner and 1 main course with 1 fruit punch.

The name of this dishes very long.. Can’t really remember what name is that. Chicken chop + Paste + some meat..

Fish and Chip = My wife’s lover. For me, I not really like the way they cook the fries because some fries is oily [meaning that they not really wait for the oil really ready heat up] and the crispy skin of dolly fish is not suitable my taste.

After I eat my main course and finished up my wife’s main course + soup on picture below + coffee + salad + 2 cup of water, suddenly they serving up this super milky cake.. Because I am too full, I just eat 2 small spoons from this small little milky cake.

I am not sure what soup is this. But the taste like In-comix’s cereal..

End up, I still full and can’t even bend my body to pick up something from the floor.

If you are walking around The Curve, you will noticed there are some computer with long horizontal LCD screen around center court there. There is a white color keyboard enabling you to search your shopping item and it will show you the location of the shop around The Curve. Very convenient, right?

It do show some video advertisement on top of the LCD screen.

See from photo above, “Find every shop, every restaurant, every thing”

I try to search “CANON”, it do show me the location of the shop and I try to perform another search “MNG”, it do show me the location of MNG to me. But, I am just stand in front of MNG shop to search for MNG. Funny, right?
