When and where i should begin...

After leaving from blogging, i'm now not sure when and where i should begin... 

Time flies... 

Things changes... 

Agings... hmmm... people still think i'm late 20s ;-)

I have been leaving my blog unattended for months... It's time to pick up and continue since it is a good way to share my thought. I have so many nice travel picture to share with the world. Unfortunately i have little time to process and upload into the internet to share.

Today, I'm back to a old place where i have blogged about years back~ 

The place where three of us (bloggers) called the EMO Headquarter where i met and hanged out with lots of new friends. 

The 100th outlet of Starbie in Malaysia which is the EMO headquarter for some of my bloggers friend. 

Yo~ My fellow old bloggers. Let's get back to the blogging era eh~

Let get the everything start... Okay?

Sunday afternoon meeting...

My Friend : "Meeting?"

Me : "Yes" 

My Friend : "Working on Sunday?" 

Me : "Kind of... hehe" 

My Friend : "Wow~ Busy man la"

Me : "hehe" 

I was in Starbie waiting for the rest of the team members appear to the meeting. I have reserved a 8 seated tables preparing for our discussion... 

So, anyone have any idea which Starbie is the picture taken? 

MBA Final Semester

My final semester has started. This semester I'm taking two subjects i.e. Accounting Finance and Marketing Management. According to our senior, these two subjects are not tough. Can I party over these two subjects ;-)

Anyway, still gotta focus on the study to make sure I finished the MBA by July 2015. Since my MBA was sponsored by the company, I don't need to pay a single cent to obtain this certification. So the only thing I gotta do is to work hard and get over it. 

Last semester was the worst as there were 3 subjects and all 3 were not so straight forward. It took time to do the assignment and study the subjects. Anyway, I got them all passed!!! ;-) My only concern now is how i could make use of my MBA to get a better job in the future. Maybe i should ask, could I get a better job with my MBA?

When you throw a stone and you might hit MBA graduates on the Central Business District (CBD), just like now degree holder is just a paper to go into the working life. So what about MBA? Sigh~ 

Okay~ i shouldn't be so emotional in the Friday afternoon which most of you have planned how to party over the weekends. I'm waiting for my classmate to arrive in a not so quiet but empty Starbie... Don't ask me why eh~

Starbie on Friday Afternoon

 

Share the taste of Starbucks

Do you know inside this got a piece of paper stated "Share the taste of Starbucks" ?

Running Pack

There is a voucher stated Share the Taste of Starbucks, so you must be wondered what would I get from this voucher... Any guess?

The "Share the taste of Starbucks" is the voucher for Buy 1 Free 1 drinks on

• Tiramisu Frappuccino or 
• French Vanilla Latte/Frappuccino

Since two of my friends are staying in Singapore. So i have three vouchers which valid until December 15th 2014. Used one left two now...

Usual Saturday night chill out place!!!...

I sent my cousin this via whatsapp...

Cousin replied: Starbie rite... I saw u d :)
my replied: kub

We usually visit Ikano Power Center (IPC) after our dinner. My mom, aunty, uncle and cousin usually head over to Popular bookstore for books. I usually chill in Starbie IPC. Starbie IPC is quiet and less crowded on Saturday night. I get to online over in Starbie while waiting for them to come over and look for me after they have done their reading at the bookstore.

Last Saturday night, as usual I order a drink at the counter and headed my usual seat in Starbie IPC. A seat that can view the whole activities in Starbie IPC. I ordered Chocolate Cream Chip Frappe...

Chocolate Cream Chip Frappe

Started to study my Project Management Exam next week... All of sudden people just rushed in and the whole place was getting noisy. Toddles were shouting and making lots of unwanted noisy. What i hoped was they leave as soon as possible. But they were not... Too bad~

I ended up settle with my earphone to reduce the noise...

Coffee Luwak - The Poo Coffee

Anyone has Coffee Luwak (Poo Coffee) before? This coffee claimed to be the most expensive coffee in the world.

One evening i saw my FB friend (Mr.D) check in at Starbie @ Jakarta. So i dropped him a comment...

Mr. D was at Starbucks Indonesia


1 LIKE 2 COMMENTS

So i clicked on LIKE and place my comment, 1/2 hr later i gotten the response from my friend. 

My comment: Do they serve coffee luwak?
Mr.D's comment: Toilet under repair

I was laughing and told my other friend about this joke... Imagine the coffee fresh brew from the toilet in Starbie. oops~


My another friend went to Jakarta for a weekend getaway and he bought me a pack of coffee luwak from Jakarta. But I haven't opened and tasted it.

No more free ride @ Starbie...

Hey what do you mean free ride?... do you remember those days you can choose NOT to get a drink yet cannibalized the internet connection bandwidth with you huge "i" thingy... but today, all this free ride has called to a STOP... yup a big STOP for Starbie.

If you notice, accessing the internet connection on Starbie network needs code... a code that you can find in the bottom of the receipt...

Now,

1. Do not throw away your receipt after collecting your drink... You free internet connection is in this piece of paper.
2. One code per connection, if you have more than one device, too bad you have to drink two drinks... cause one code per device. 
3. One drink one code, one person one drink... Don't expect to have one person buy a drink and four person take the ride. 
4. Stop thick skin people whom just sit down and start skype with their family members away from home. You know who i'm talking about... (unfortunately i could not understand their language to further understand the conversation) It's will be interesting if i could understand their language. 

Good move Starbie eh~
Now we could eliminate those annoying free riders~

Starbucks Malaysia Facelift

Starbie has become a place for most of us to meet up to Chit Chat... Chinese said "pak pak" (gossip). The Starbie in Malaysia is undergoing face-lifting. I was surprise to see the new image of the Starbie in Ikano Power Station which i hang out almost every Saturday night after dinner with my Uncle, Aunty and Cousins.

Old look of Starbie in Malaysia

Starbie @ Subang Jaya

Starbie @ Jaya One (emo headquarter)

Starbie @ Ikano Power Station before facelift

plenty more of example on how the old Starbie looks like... cause i'm a fan of Starbie NO DOUBT all of you know eh~

So, are you ready to see the new image of Starbie in Ikano Power Station?

Starbie @ Ikano Power Station after facelift

It looks more like Starbie in Amsterdam, Brussel and Cologne...

Starbie @ Amsterdam Station, Holland

Hehehe... Starbie in Malaysia is closer to Europe already... no longer have those old Starbie look...
What do you think about post facelift image?

Starbucks Cyberjaya

July 9th 2012 marked a new milestone for the development of Cyberjaya community... Guess what? My dream came through and the Starbie in Cyberjaya finally started their operation. Too bad the boss of the Starbie Cyberjaya is NOT me. Sad eh~

Anyway, i was the first person to get the coffee from Starbie Cyberjaya among my team. For the first week opening promotion / special, they gave a free donut when you purchased drink via the Drive Thru.

Americano + Donut (Free)

Drive Thru order counter / machine

It's so convenience with the Drive Thru. I don't need to get down my car just to purchase a cup of coffee but the damage is one drive through i need to spend at least RM6.35... price to pay for the convenience.

I was given a huge Starbie Sticker  on the first visit. In summary, i got a free donut and a free Drive Thru Sticker. What i will get with the big sticker?

Drive Thru Sticker - get something if spent RM25 and above

Last but not least, this is how the Cyberjaya Starbie looks like... pay a visit to the outlet if you were there eh~ Hey there is one more things, they serve hot food a.k.a pasta. I yet to try them, i heard the Cyberjaya outlet is the only outlet serve hot food at this moment. Try it eh~

Starbie @ Cyberjaya

Starbucks @ Paradigm Mall

After dinner with my aunty and uncles, my mom will go to the popular bookstore with my aunty, uncle and cousin and i will just buy a drink and sit @ Starbie. Instead of putting up myself in Ikano, tonight it's a bit different as i'm @ Paradigm Mall now. The latest mall in Kelana Jaya area. It was a very small mall pack with some many people. I think Malaysian or KL people just like malls... Whenever there is a mall opening... the crowd will be there.

Starbie @ Paradigm Mall

The Starbie over in Paradigm was the worst Starbie that i been to... so damn noisy, I could hardly hear the music and all i could heard is those noises from the mall. why? Because the Starbie over Paradigm Mall is an open concept and the sound absorber for the mall is very very bad. As a result it magnifying children's screams, people talks... etc.

Open concept Starbie

It definitely was not a prefer choice for a quiet Saturday... in fact this was a bad idea to do it as the open concept in such a mall...  

One big disadvantages of the open concept is there are cheapo people just sit down without buying any drinks from the counter and consume the bandwidth until those people like me paying do not get the expected bandwidth... Sigh~ 

the cheapo person

Can't the starbie stuff do something?

Starbucks 2012 planner

I have been eyeing on the Starbucks 2012 planner since they launched it... It cost RM88 to purchase this planner or purchased 15 drinks to get this planner. So which one you choose?

As for me someone gave it to me as the present for this year :p so i neither purchased drinks nor paid RM88 for this planner.

Something come with a nice box...

the Planner

Close view of Starbucks logo

When i flipped through the inner part of the planner... The whole planner is very nice with lots of lively wording...

the inner part of the planner with bookmarks

Some knowledge and history about Starbie

Interesting instruction on some of the days...
I will look at each of the vending machine on Feb 01 2012

Anyway, next years planner was more colorful then this year... but i think they should have just get us to  reuse our this year's planner and provide the refill for the inner part of the planner... 2011. It will be more environmental friendly then... this is my suggestion :p

Starbucks : For you From Us

It's the time that Starbie giving out free coffee for his royal customers... It's the time on For You From Us voucher offer again. How could you get the voucher?
