Tesco

Firstly, while I was trying to tweak the design for this blog, I somehow screwed it up. I am trying to find some time to fix it.

As usual, I do my shopping at Mydin. Yesterday, the road was quite jam than usual. When I finally reached Mydin, there were large number of Police vehicles and personnel. Then when I saw 2 UTK motorbikes, I knew there was some big shot in the Mall. Mydin was cordoned off.

Its amazing to see how much Police resources is used for  politicians, and they keep on complaining they don't have enough manpower. To me, they have poor resource allocation and management. Ever heard politician being shot in Msia before? Common man, even Dr. M walks around in the shopping complex with minimum security.

Guess who was in Mydin yesterday?

Well anyway, my wife decided to shop at Tesco instead since one my readers here suggest to do so. We went to Tesco Curve.

Generally, not all items are cheap. Selection of choice is sometimes limited. Aisles are not categorized in the same group. Aisle 1 -5 will be food and in the centre is clothing, toilteries and then follow by food again. I dunno, its weird to me.

Tesco has a lot of their own product brand. My friend swears by it. He just love to buy Tesco brand items. A good thing about Tesco is their trolley has baby seat and a partition. Good thinking. They also have a policy whereby they will open a counter for you if you have more than 2 trolleys in front of you at the payment counter.

But, I am still sticking to Mydin. Better choices and better pricing (although not always, price tends to fluctuate monthly). Although I wish MyDin could train their store helpers to be more HELPFUL!

The Launch of MuscleZone

I am launching a blog on fitness. It's called MuscleZone - http://musclezone.blogspot.com.

It's been there since Jan 2008, but I kept it idle. To meet my 2009 resolution, I am resuscitating the blog.

I have been writing about fitness for sometime in this blog, but it's time to have a dedicated blog on it. This will be a newbie centric blog and my crazy struggle in trying to achieve a life long dream of Greek-God-like physique minus the steroids.

I will be moving some fitness related articles from this blog to the MuscleZone.
