My friends in UK envy me because I live in Indonesia, where it’s always sunny. Perhaps they’ll change their mind once they realize it can be scorching HOT in here ! Temperatures like 31 degrees (Celcius) are common here, with some places even hotter than that. Thankfully, McDonalds’ came to rescue !

The busiest McDonalds drive-thru in Asia happens to be close by my home. Despite the achievement, I rarely had to queue for long. They have some very motivated staff working there, and they serves you very quickly. Many times I visited the drive thru just to buy this chocolate cone. At only about US$ 0.25 (yes, that’s right!), this is the cheapest piece of heaven you can get.

It’s an improvement of their wildly popular ice cream cone (which costs only US$ 0.20) - liquid chocolate is poured over it. Bliss.
It’s also bigger and more satisfying. Especially in hot weather like in Indonesia.

When you visited Indonesia sometimes, don’t miss the McDonalds drive-thru. It’s fast, cheap, and fun !

So there

You can be cool like me as well, see if you can figure out the puzzles below :

We’re flooded with news everyday. But rarely do I see news that’s really a news. Most of them are really boring. Until I stumbled upon Newgie.com

The concept is rather similar with digg.com, where good news will become more visible (example: shown on the first page). However, it’s more automatic - you don’t need to vote. Just by viewing the news, it’s already a vote for it. It’s a good point in usability.

I’m just hoping that newgie.com has some sort of anti-spam mechanism. It seems easier to “spam” (eg: promote own news). But I might be wrong, there may very well be already a strong anti-spam mechanism behind the curtain, working hard automagically to give us just the news.

Also I’m impressed by the variety of the contents. I even managed to found a Cooking news section ! Yay ! Nice one Newgie

All in all… very impressive. Yet another excellent example of a Web 2.0 website — intuitive, useful, usable, and just works. Here’s hoping that it’ll manage to attract more attention to itself and become more popular — check the banner below :
