Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and...

Recession is coming to town...

McD (2)

It finally opened at 9am this morning, and when I reached there at 9.10am (by impulse, did not intend to go there originally), there're this many ppl there! Crazy!
There're just so many people inside there. My dad is an avid McD fan (for unknown reason, that's the only fastfood he takes), but he rejected my offer to buy him a breakfast outright(SMS read: No No No). I understand...it is fattening. A bit high in cholesterol too, but I know he can't resist it for long.

The first coin in the box...my 50 cents.

Anyway, they did my order wrongly, so I got my tea, coffee and orange juice only when they should've come with another 3 muffins and 3 hashbrowns. Finally, I walked away with 3 sets by paying only for 2 (guess they're all muddled up since it's a bit chaotic inside there). First day lucky :D

Hope this outlet can stay long enough for our benefit!~ Ahaha

McDonald's in Teluk Intan

I never expect to see this one in my lifetime, but it happened. Apparently, the first McDonald's in Teluk Intan is opening in 9 days' time. It comes with Drive-Thru and most importantly, 24-hour service!

Behind the McDonald's building is an unknown shopping mall (said to be hosting Giant Hypermarket, many stores, and even a cineplex), which is also believed to be opening soon. This definitely comes as a relief to Teluk Intan folks, who are deprived of a literally functioning cinema since...? years ago. I remember now; the last movie I watched in Teluk Intan was Jurassic Park.

Indeed, it has been a long time since Teluk Intan last saw a major change. Home to a mere 190,000 population, it is not exactly easy to sustain a McDonald's here (Sandakan didn't get one either), let alone the mall behind. My only hope for McDonald's and Giant is: don't go bankrupt. Anyway, I'm sure both places will be flooded by people for the next six months, especially those deep-pockets from the neighbouring small towns and villages (even richer than town folks, kinda hurts to think of it huh?).

First Post

This blog is the continuation of my former blog in Friendster. As usual, I'll write on issues that interest me, hopefully with higher frequency in the future.

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
