Just went Sweet Blossoms Roasters, tried their coffee and bought some beans. Just nice they are roasting their coffee today .

The xmm kind to explain all the different beans.

one of the xmm i heard is kelantan aeropress winner. power.

 

[Panerex]

Just now first time use PayNow in Malaysia to pay for the beans. Sweet Blossoms do not accept paywave. They accept PayNow and PayLah.

I use the UOB app scan to pay, rate reflected was 3.06. Quite bad, because Youtrip rate was around 3.13 ish

but you will have 20% promo rebate from UOB correct?

I tried once before when Poh Kee WTM was closed but
1) the young chap (I think the son?) got both my noodle (no chilli) and coffee (added sugar) order wrong
2) always long queue relative to PK WTM, have to wait.

Sadly, i didn't get or notice her name. She is wearing specs (please use your imagination cos NPNT). She explained about the different acidity level, like bright acidity taste.

ah not sure. Is there anything i need to activate to get 20% promo rebate? I just scanned to QR code with UOB app and paid the amount. I don't see any rebate notification, just the rate indicated.

SMS 15888, follow by 12 hours later 4 unauthorised transactions

On the day of the incident, I successfully passed through JB customs. Thereafter, I checked my Touch ’n Go eWallet and noticed that the second toll transaction had not been reflected. Subsequently, I received an SMS...

If use most sg bank like UOB, posb, DBS etc.. the rate usually quite chui..
The better SGMYR rate for SG banks are Maybank SG and CIMB SG.

coming back from a project, drove by BI2, pasar malam day, always nice when you get bonus in the day.

moist evening, looking for 2 items only

cherry and jackfruit are back, but according to what i recently learned, these are J or JJ only, for this size, it's "overpriced" when compared to the 4J sized i just ate in Shanghai. that was 300g for ¥39.90

bigger fruit gives a different bite to the fruit

Best muah chee in the world, bought 3, 1 for now, 2 for the future

Best MFC, i have to find out which pasar malam they go to.

put on a heavy plate to make this MFC taste even better

it's been a while, hello jb chiongsters

• RON97: RM3.16 per litre
• RON95 (Non-Subsidised): RM2.56/L
• RON95 (Subsidised): RM1.99/L

Someone with MyKad and a driving license but no car can pocket more than RM150 per month just by giving up his quota of subsidised RON95 fuel to a foreigner who is otherwise forced to buy RON97.

Viable or not?

can have them create an account with petrol brand app with their details.

 

[Aaagogo]

Each Malaysian with MyKad has a quota cap 300L per month. (I think, need to confirm)

Malaysian with MyKad and a driving license but no car.

- if he help a foreigner to pump on a non-malaysia plate vehicle = illegal.

- He can help foreigner whom own a malaysia Plate vehicle to pump at a discounted rate - no issue. as long whenever need to pump he is with the driver and present with his MyKad. (maybe he can earn abit pocket money But i feel its too much of a trouble).

alot of ways lah. want to drive in sg, already quite bad can't pump petrol in sg, then cheap already still want cheaper... sg supposed to be more spending power...

i don't recommend trying to get around their subsidy, it's their subsidy, don't be a l4n ji4o li4ng (hokkien). already very cheap the petrol there, have some self respect.
