Mangosteen aka Manggis

Image
Mangosteen or locally known as "Manggis" is a type of tropical fruit. Its scientific name is "Garcinia Mangostana". Mangosteen rind/husk/shell is deep purple-reddish in color when its ripe. Some might even think that mangosteen is from the mango family due to the name but in reality, it is not from the mango family which obviously can be seen in the pictures later, Mango fruits have one big seed and the flesh are whole while mangosteen have small seed and the flesh are divided into few slices naturally. That is why mangosteen is not from the mango family, BenardCometh rationale style. Mangosteen aka Manggis Mangosteen aka Manggis V2.0 By the way, mangosteen aka " manggis " is also known as the Queen of Fruits, how cool is that? Queen of Fruits. Royal fruit yo.That makes me wonder whether there are any Knight of Fruit. Maybe the " Rambutan " or even the " Banana ". When mangosteen is not ripe, the shell is firm and hard and as ...

Revamped Maybank2U Rant

Image
Perhaps it's the sign that I am getting older as lately I felt that there is a lot of things to complain/rant about. Wait, that should not be right. I have nothing much to rant about as generally I am a very patient person. Anyway, in case you don't know yet and you are a Maybank customer, Maybank2U revamped their website already. Maybank2U V2.0 Now, the thing is if something is improved or changed for the better, it should be BETTER then the previous version right? If not, what is the purpose of upgrading/improving/changing? Just for fun is it? "Lim Peh" want to pay a bill also takes so long. Imagine, I log in at 3.30pm and now is around 4.15pm and still haven't completed the transaction yet. I might as well go and queue up at the mini post office nearby. -_-" The redesign is swell and all but the thing to focus on is performance mmmmkay. A friend reminded me that today is the official launch of the new Maybank2U so there would be a lot of "Kay Poh...

Magnificent

Clouds Every now and then, stop for a while, look up at the sky. Bask in the sunlight and the magnificent clouds. Life is too short to let it pass by in hasten mode. Clouds yet again Relax your mind and body, Be amazed by the wonders of nature. Treat your eyes to a glorious buffet. For the guys, not the glorious twin orbs if that is what you are thinking. Although, that would be swell too. Cloudssss Have you ever look up to the sky in a clear bright night? Just looking at the stars and wonder how fragile life is and how tiny humans are compared to the universe? Apart from that, it does have calming effect and would make one feel relaxed. (Nope, no pictures of a night with many stars. The best place to go would be the beach for stars watching.) Nothing much of a post today. More like some cloud photography with my trusty old Canon Powershot A70 and some post processing using Photoshop. Hence Yours Truly decided to name this post Magnificient to describe the photo. Afterall, Mot...

Malaysia Latest Oil Price

As of this post, effective midnight, the petrol and diesel will be cheaper at the pump. Previous decrease in oil price in September and now a further deduction of 15 sen for RON97 petrol, 10 sen for RON92, and 20 sen for Diesel. Hence, the latest oil price in Malaysia effective midnight would be: RON 97 : RM 2.30 per litre RON 92 : RM 2.20 per litre Diesel : RM 2.20 per litre Source: The Star Online Hmmm, although the world's oil price decrease significantly, the price at the pump in Malaysia are still considerably high. The ratio seems not right but maybe that is just me. Maybe everyone else are extremely happy about it. Ecstatically happy. By the way, having small reduction is better than no reduction at all. So, enjoy the new pump price. Enjoy.~~

What is insane? Or is it professional gamer/player? This guy that goes by the nick Prepared have 36 accounts on World of Warcraft perfectly legitimate and have the hardware to back it up. How insane is that? Screen Shot Source It costs him $5711 in subscription costs per year for the 36 accounts on the 6 months pay schedule. A freaking $5711!!!!!!. And that is just for the subscription fees/costs alone. This guy is sure dedicated and get a couple of guys like this, Blizzard must have been making a killing. Woot, way to go Blizzard for World of Warcraft. It's KACHING!!!! all the way to the bank, so to speak. Directly quoted from the source : A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I'm sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We'll see how it goes. If they don't make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probab...

PKR Anwar New Deadline to Change Government

A new deadline after the not so glorious previous deadline. Hmmm, would there be another deadline after this? And another? And another? Seems like someone trying to bluff their way in but that is just me. I am a pretty straight-forward person and IF I have the means or the power or the numbers to back me up, I would not really missed the first deadline in the first place as if there are yet another deadline after another deadline then I believe the people would have grown weary of waiting and for sure it would be like the "Boy who cried Wolf" case. Then again, it might be somekind of strategy you say? Oh, well at least one thing is for sure and that is yours truly definitely am not qualified to be in politics. Am too straight-foward and honest and with integrity and always believed that the good shall prevail/triumph over the evil. Guess I am a little bit too naive and definitely would be slaughtered in the political scene. Anyway the new deadline is in DEC, as posted on M...
