RM1 Whoppers @ Burger King

Burger King had this offer today regarding its Whoppers. They are selling it at a jaw dropping RM1 price. Well, there are many hidden terms in this RM1 offer. One has to purchase a soft drink to qualify for this and a maximum of 3 burgers can be purchased per person. That means one person would be able to purchase only 3 drinks with 3 Whoppers. Heck, its still cheaper than the real thing so I headed off to the nearest Burger King @ Sunway Pyramid hoping to secure a few Whoppers for lunch. Arrived at around 1.45p.m and !@#!@ the queue was like 10m long! Left the place after queuing up for about 3mins. Coudn’t stand the heat there also.

Update: 6.30p.m. I’m back for the Whoppers! This time, its a do or die thing. No matter how long the queue was, I am going to wait!

I was craving for Whoppers since the night before as the last time I had Burger King was like ages ago.

The queue at that time was almost as long as the one in the afternoon but it seemed slightly shorter. Anyway, we waited patiently, poked and pressed our phones while waiting for our turn to make the orders. Started queuing up at 6.35p.m. and w00t! at 7.15p.m we finally made our orders! A 40min queue. How awesome is that?

I was disappointed when the worker told me that they’ve ran out of Regular soft-drinks (cups) so I had to order the large ones, WHICH OBVIOUSLY COSTS MORE. DENG. My initial plan to order 3 Whoppers was reduced to only 2 =(.  Anyway grabbed the Whoppers and happily went over to have a seat. Total damage for 2 Whoppers + 2 large drinks = RM10.10.

Here’s the original price list.

Price: RM 9.60 (ala carte)
Price: RM 13.50 (medium set)
Price: RM 14.70 (large set)
- Meal also includes fries & drinks

Anyway, it was still cheaper than the original price.  Om nom nom nom nom.

Congrats! Burger King has gone right with their marketing strategy this time.

Sony Ericsson Naite (J105i)

w00t last post for the month.

It has been a real busy month and next month would be even busier. Oh damn I’m lovin’ it =).A couple of months ago I purchased some 500MB a month broadband from Maxis (here) and well, I did not have any phone to use it with! 2 months passed and finally I managed to collect enough money to proceed with the purchase of a used,  second phone to use the data plan with.

Here it is!  The Sony Ericsson Naite. I didn’t wanted to get Sony Ericsson again, argh.. but then the price was simply too wallet friendly.

This phone doesn’t come with much stuff though, only HSDPA, 2Mpix camera, 2.2″ 320×240 256k TFT screen, microSD card slot and those basic/standard stuff that you’ll get from most Sony Ericsson phones. The thing with this phone is that it was developed under the GreenHeart concept whereby the phone was designed to reduce the overall impact on the environment. Benefit is, the charger automatically reduces its power consumption when the phone is not plugged in thus saving some electricity.

Bad thing is, the back-plate of the phone looked pretty good but if you were to pry open the phone , the plastic feels cheap and easily breakable.

Software aspect, the phone feels slightly sluggish like most 320×240 Sony Ericsson phones. Uses the same firmware as the C510. Surprisingly, it supports the Microsoft Exchange protocol so syncing emails, contacts and tasks was absolute fun.

Size – Thickness.

Verdict:

Phone feels really good when it costs RM100 including postage.

It comes with Thorus warranty (4mths remaining).

Battery life – So far it has been running for 4days and still at 20%

Bad: Its a 2nd hand unit.
