New Moutain Dew

Mountain Dew – Code Red (Cherry Flavor)

Mountain Dew is my favourite softdrink of them all, and when I was in US a few years ago, the volume that I have drank is only second to water. And so, when I saw this Diet Mountain Dew Code Red in the vending machine, it is just natural I would buy and try it. This drink comes in a 20oz bottle, which is 1.25pt and 591ml. The color of the drink is light red in colors and even the bubbles are red in color. The first taste was awful, I don’t know what to explain of it, as I can’t comprehend it at all.. it taste like medicine, maybe because medicine has been made with cherry taste, it did not taste like cherry to me and it just taste awful. That’s all I can say about the taste, it is not that sweet as this has a Diet tag. The drink has some level of sourness in the aftertaste. I don’t think I would buy this drink again, I can’t even finish this bottle. It does not appeal to me, the only interesting thing of this drink is the color red. And red is not a reason to buy a drink….I give this drink a bad 1 out of 5.

Mountain Dew – Pitch black(Black Grape)

Sitting next to Code Red was Pitch Black. This version of Mountain Dew is much better than it’s neighbor Code Red. The Black Grape taste was strong, so much like Rebina with Regular Mountain Dew mixed together. The regular Mountain Dew after taste was strong with this. After a few gulp, the aftertaste screams at the drinker for more. Its nice, and I would buy this again. I give this drink a good 4 out of 5.



Mountain Dew – Live Wire (Orange Flovor)

The next Mountain dew with artificially tainted flavor is Live Wire, bright orange in color and looked like a burning liquid metal. Starting with the taste, the artificial orange taste nothing like the real orange. Yes, it does have a very strong tangerine taste to it, and it is much better than Code Red, the cherry flavor Mountain Dew. It is an enjoyable drink and it does need a couple of cans to get used of the taste, like our Tang's Orange Drink. It is not as appealing as the Pitch Black, but it is something in between Code Red's awfulness and Pitch Black greatness.

Sperm Bank

I was at a friends wedding dinner last weekend, where I manage to meet up with some of my school friends .  One of which has been working in this sperm bank in KL for about two years.  I didn ’ t even know and infact, none of us at the dinner know about sperm banks in M ’ sia till this guy told us.   His company would pay anyone willing, RM100 for a shot of sperm.  Qty can vary, depending on how much one person can produce per session.   And there is an additional RM100 bonus if the sperm count is high.  We were totally shock and was wondering how come we didn ’ t know about this earlier on, especially during our student days .  According to him, the company has been in KL since 1987 , we were all like.. “ what the ”… If only we knew last time, we would have made some good deal of money … hehe.. He was telling that there is this 17 years old kid earns RM4000 in a period of 6 months … wow.. This is a lot of money for that age.  This is a good side income, for those who

Digital Prints

I went over to BJC last night to have some photos printed (from http://sweetsour.uni.cc/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=12 ). I asked some of my friends here in office they told me that the cheapest that we can get for 4R digital print here in Penang is about RM0.45 per piece.  However, he doesn’t know where it was.  Since I was quite in a hurry, and I didn’t want to or rather lazy to scout around, I just went to a photo shop that I know in BJC, the ground floor Kodak Photo Shop that is in the middle (literally) of the complex.  It cost Rm0.60 per piece, quite a lot more than the cheapest price, but since I am only printing a few, I didn’t mind.  It only took a hour to get the photos developed and we paid RM4.00 for one of the photo to be blown up to 5R.  Notice the huge price difference between 4R & 5R.  However, the photos did not turn up as expected.  The shop pretty much adjusted the contrast and color a little and that resulted red blemishes (like rashes) to appea

The search for Rechargeable Batteries

With the new camera, I need to get new rechargeable batteries. I did some digging and found the highest mAh is 2500mAh and the fastest charger is 15 minutes. I have not decided which to buy yet. Energizer Energizer have a few kind of chargers, the 15min charger, the 30min charger, the car charger and the regular chargers. The energizer web site is rather rich in information, especially on how rechargeable batteries work . There are also information on other batteries types and also how to care for your batteries and a whole heap of batteries information. Best battery site I have seen, with nice cartoonist illustration and animation. The Technical Information is available, but it was not detailed enough for my liking, and this is the only drawback that the site has. Charging Time Cost 15Min $3x 30Min $27 Car Charger (2 hrs) $26 Regular charger (4-8hrs)
