			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend shared <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiyWK3fzTpA">this video</a> of cigarettes scene in Indonesia particularly. It caught my attention and there I spent the next of my 45 minutes into watching the video with <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/computers-peripherals">laptops</a>. </p>
<p>I realized that we (in Indonesia) have too much billboards in the street, but never had I noticed that most of them are about cigarettes. When I saw the music events held/sponsored by cigarettes companies, I thought it was usual. Little did I knew it&#8217;s a way of branding themselves to the youngster. When I saw children below legal age buying cig here, I thought it was a usual scene. I missed out that we didn&#8217;t have the sign where children aren&#8217;t allow to purchase cig. </p>
<p>Things that I thought was usual, because I&#8217;ve seen them since I was a kid, was actually unusual and pretty evil. Geez.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tea time to me usually means snacking time, in a casual way. So when a friend asked us to join them for the high tea session, I jumped in the offer. She bought the deal from Groupon. Ouch, I don&#8217;t think foods deal and Groupon works well. Most of the vendors usually give a lousy service and not so great food, just because we&#8217;re on discount. Speaking based on experience really. </p>
<p>If it&#8217;s selling products like <a href="http://www.beadaholique.com/">jewelry making tools</a>, I&#8217;ll surely grab the deal. But if it&#8217;s service, I won&#8217;t put much high hope on the deal. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiehanne/6787403139/" title="hightea by wiehanne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7154/6787403139_5d788cd359_o.jpg" width="500" height="747" alt="hightea"></a></p>
<p>So, we went to the pretty well-known cafes for the high tea session. The foods was mediocre, some of the pastries weren&#8217;t fresh anymore. Based on the taste, it didn&#8217;t pass our judgement. But since we&#8217;re on discount, can&#8217;t complain more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having take a national flight recently (or in other word, better standard airline), we can feel the differences if compare to budget airline. Such thing as in-flight entertainment, if you have <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?category=apple-ipods&#038;language=en-CA">apple ipods</a> to accompany the long hour journey, great for you. Another thing is the leg room, spacious leg room does make a lot of differences. </p>
<p>So it&#8217;s back to the old saying that you get what you pay for. Budget airline give us the opportunity to travel more, but sometimes it&#8217;s ok to indulge in usual standard airline too. <img src='http://www.medandaily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no doubt that capital city usually has the largest airport than other part of states in a country. But being large doesn&#8217;t always mean nice and cozy. Sometimes being small is just great as long as it&#8217;s clean and well organized. Like how <a href="http://www.howard-medical.com/">Howard medical computer carts</a> meets the need, despite the size of the equipment isn&#8217;t that large.</p>
<p>One of the small airport that I like a lot is Langkawi airport, could also be because it serves International flight as well, hence it has a standard there. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Few years ago I wasn&#8217;t into beach. First I didn&#8217;t swim (still not til today, boo! <img src='http://www.medandaily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ) and second, I was scared of getting darker (typical Asian, boo! again). But time changes someone, I&#8217;m leaning towards the beach getaway and leaving shopping trip behind. </p>
<p>A beach getaway that changed my perspective would be the <a href="http://www.medandaily.com/2009/06/27/snorkeling-at-perhentian-island/" title="Perhentian Island">Perhentian Island trip</a>, dated almost three years ago. Our package include snorkeling, so being my first time I was enthusiast and quickly bought a water-resistant pouch for the digicam, although <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&#038;catalog=Online&#038;category=underwater_cameras">underwater cameras</a> would give a better pictures. </p>
