A San Francisco Steakhouse Malaysia Marketing Con Job!
posted by Gallivanter
A con job by San Francisco Steakhouse Malaysia who blamed it on Guinness Malaysia. A pint is over 500ml and that’s how it was over the years in Malaysia. Of late, there’s a full pint and perfect pint – a marketing ploy. What’s next, a “complete pint” or...
Asian-Style Elevator Manners
posted by Gallivanter
It’s difficult to maintain good elevator manners in Asian countries. Unlike Westerners where they practice lots of courtesy, Asians are a selfish bunch who put themselves first above anyone else. I find it extremely annoying when once the elevator doors open, a herd of people rush...

This is taken off Alice Cooper’s new album, a surprising duet with Kesha of all people. I have to say that Alice Cooper has played his cards right on this one to rope in a present artist whose been successful to revive his music career, well, sort of. The chorus is catchy, the...
Protestant Christians and Their Overzealous Conversion Drive
posted by Gallivanter
I have personally experienced overzealous Protestants trying to convert me and my younger brother when we were kids. The incident occurred at Stadium Negara some 20 years ago in the guise of it being a Christmas celebration! If you can imagine, it was a big singing Christmas tree made of...

Bowling For Soup – What About Us (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I don’t like the lead singer’s singing slang. Bowling For Soup’s new album is basically for people without common sense, because it’s just that – bland, noisy, useless, bubble gum. This song is probably closest to a hit on the album, a slow track, but coming from...
