Off Topic - Cheap Scrubs

I just woke up after catching a late night movie of Arthur Christmas last night. The flick was superb which has 3D effects even though I watched it in 2D as they have the slotted time that I wanted. The graphics were excellent and story line endearing. You should go watch it yourself.

On another matter, I was browsing the web sites and came upon http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/ where you can click on the link to find out more. There are cheap scrubs that you can order and buy online with safe and secure payment gateway using your credit card.

Today, I need to check up on my apartment but it is still not ready yet while waiting for the air con workers to bore a hole for the copper tube to be connected to the compressor. Sometimes I wished I had paid more for the convenience of full installation of 3 units of air con so that I don't have to worry about self installation later on like now with much hiccups.

Medical personnel in the hospital adorn scrubs over their clothes to look more professional and efficient when tending to patients. It also protects their clothes from splutters of blood during operations, et cetera. So, it not only looks good, it is more hygienic.

Locksmith Palm Beach Gardens

Tomorrow I will go to check on my new apartment for the installation of the air-con unit and before that, the workmen need to bore a hole for the copper pipe to connect to the compressor. I will make sure that I have 3 sets of key to the house and in case I lose any of them, I will check out Locksmith Palm Beach Gardens to my rescue.

My condo was bought at $281,000 but is now worth about $480,000 when fully furnished. The capital appreciation has earned me some income and this adds up to my net worth which I tabulate in an Excel file for my own reference.

Air Conditioning Miami

I am now in the process of installing air conditioning for my new apartment and need to bore a hole for the copper tube to connect to the compressor. You can check out Air Conditioning Miami for more information. Today, I am waiting for a call from the company that bores holes through walls for the air con pipe to be installed and it will be a messy job with continuous flow of water draining down to a big tub and provide cooling system for the machine.

AC Repair Miami has one-stop solution for your air con installation needs and repairing work in your area especially Miami, USA. I just bought a 1 horse power air con unit with negative ions emitted and eco inverter to save electricity. Well, I hope this issue will be dealt with promptly so that I don't have to wait too long to move into my new apartment.

Found Micro Jobs Online

I am pleased with my online venture so far because I have found a site offering micro jobs for some payment in US currency. The tasks include rewriting articles, doing paid blog posts, signing up for new programmes, et cetera. It will be paid by Alert Pay and not Paypal which I am already familiar with. I am not too sure how Alert Pay works but I hope it is similar to Paypal so that I can withdraw money without too much charges.

I have also written some articles which were accepted this morning for more than USD 8.00 at USD 1 cent per word. These online ventures will keep me very busy for a long time to come and I love typing out and churning out article after article in a prompt manner from my laptop. I am grateful for God's providence over my life currently.

Off Topic - Calgary Apartments

I just came back from a successful business trip and took a local small airline to visit the remote place and meet up with the potential client. It was a day trip flying in the morning, driving tens of kilometres and then back to the airport at night. In situations like this, you just hope to own or rent Calgary Apartments just to rest in between the journey to recuperate.

I am happy that the trip was fruitful albeit a bit tiring waiting long hours at the airport. That's because we went 3 hours earlier so as not to miss the domestic flight after parking the car at the airport. It was very near our rented apartment. If you are a student or just graduated and found a job, you might like to look for apartments to rend in Calgary which caters to a wide range of people like you and me - from retirees to working adults.

There are various budgets to suit every pocket and your affordability. From family suites to bachelor pads, there is something to cater for everyone. So, just check out the link above and who knows, you might find something to suite your taste and wallet. You can read up more about it from the link above and perhaps find pictures to your liking of the most appropriate apartment or condominium to rent for your family. The web site is neat and easy to navigate. So this post is off topic from the usual food post with lots of photos.

Lunch at a Chinese Restaurant

 

Some time back, I treated dad to a Chinese restaurant in Penang Times Square on the third level of Birch Plaza phase 1. I forgot the name of the restaurant but I must say that it is very popular with bridal couples and almost every week, you can see it is books for a wedding banquet. Above is my order of sweet and sour fish with capsicums, red chillies and onions.

 

Here is my favorite dish - Nestum Prawns. The fresh prawns are deep fried with Nestum cereal flakes and some Indian herbs for that crispy flavor and zing.

 

For vegetables, I usually order the ubiquitous brocolli with Shitake black mushrooms and some garlic and oyster sauce. The ingredients are all stir fried in a wok before serving them piping hot. 

 

Here are all the dishes ordered for just the two of us. My dad drove me to Penang Times Square to oversee stuffs to be done to my small condominium and thereafter, we hopped over to the next block for some sumptuous lunch.

 

Food from Various Places

 

Here is fish fillet braised with almond flakes and poured with lemon sauce from Mizi at Tesco outlet in Straits Quay. Veges such as sliced carrots, a floret of cauliflower, some green peas and steamed potato wedge are garnished to complement this delicious meal. I love patronizing Mizi Bistro for its very affordable and reasonably charged western food. They also offer a fusion of both western and eastern food and there are 3 branches in Penang - one in Prangin Mall, one in New World Park and the latest in Tesco, Straits Quay. The chain of food is owned by a former executive chef with working experience in a 5-star hotel.

 

This is my favorite dish of fish florentine which consists of dory fish fillets on top of braised spinach and topped with cheese powder. The white sauce was just pure ambrosia and heavenly!  I will always order my favorite fish and the waiter can already anticipate what I am going to order each time I come here.

 

As you have already guessed, the dish above comes from a Chinese restaurant - slices of fish stir-fried with chopped spring onions and garlic. It was ordered from Xuan Xin Restaurant in Gurney Plaza, an upmarket shopping mall in Penang which is currently undergoing renovation and expansion. You will be lucky if you can find a car parking bay during school holidays!

 

Also from Xuan Xin Restaurant, this is large prawn omelette and garnished with parsley. Though this meal looks appetizing, the doctor just advised me to cut down on seafood like prawns which has high cholesterol. I just went for a blood test last week and the results were not too good, I failed in 6 categories of the overall test which means that certain abbreviations like HDL, LDL, etc were above the normal range. So now I am taking 1,000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids 3 times a day to lower my blood cholesterol level and to prevent future heart attack or heart disease. My dad already has 3 clogged arteries and it seems this could be hereditary.

 

Here is stir-fried spinach with oyster sauce, from Xuan Xin Restaurant. You can choose a set meal for 2 persons with several choices of 2 main meals and a vegetable meal from a list of 6 to 7 vegetables and different sauces like garlic, oyster sauce, etc. There are 2 bowls of rice with 2 bowls of soup, a drink each for about RM 50 after tax (USD 16.70).

 

As my friend is a member of Chinese Recreation Club, we went to the Chinese restaurant with 10% discount using the member card. Above is steamed fish cooked in Teochew style which is sourish where slices of assam are added to add the zing. Black shitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, preserved vegetables are added with slices of ginger and carrots and garnished with spring onions. The fish is garoupa and it is quite delicious in this cooking style. Don't throw away the soup as all the flavors are infused during the cooking and this makes it very delicious.

 

This is fried chicken coated with some batter for crunchyness and added with Thai chilly sauce. I have forgotten where I ordered this meal as I normally snap a lot of photos from the various places for posterity.

 

The set meal above was ordered from a Taiwanese Tea Restaurant in Queensbay Mall near Bayan Lepas. If I don't go to Gurney Plaza every night, then I will be at Queensbay Mall once in a while for a change of location. I love the blue champaign milk tea with brown sago pearls or also known as boba. 

 

 The meal above was part of the buffet breakfast in City Bayview Hotel in Kuah, Langkawi. I was in Langkawi last month for business. See the granite table top which makes the ambiance classy and elegant.
