Gloria Jean's Coffees and Tune Hotel

Just because i'm a coffeeholic, me and my bf went to One Borneo to taste and to buy the Gloria Jean's Coffees. As we arrived, the place is just a booth.

Small booth but very nice and the staff very friendly too :D
(Promotion buy 1 free 1 are now available)


We ordered Cookies N Cream and Choco Loco (i guess) with cream on top. You can also add your own toppings, either chocolates sprinkles (got green and red color), caramel syrup and other syrup.

The Chicken Pie (taste good, i like the fillings)


The Walnut pie (i guess, taste kinda ok for me)


This is the reception area for the Tune Hotel (kinda simple but nice)


The lobby area, red and white...i like the sofa ;)

The Goodness of Yoghurt

This is a story about Mr. / Mrs. / Ms. / Mdm. Yoghurt (did i missed anyone?)....and so the story goes like this...

Yoghurt is formed by the bacterial fermentation of milk. It can be made from any milk, but cows milk is usually used. Bacteria cause the sugar in the milk to ferment, that produces lactic acid. This then reacts with the protein in the milk to form yoghurt.




Other Details:

Yoghurt is a dairy product. It is produced by the fermenting action of live bacteria.

In yoghurt (in the USA) this bacteria is either Lactobacillus bulgaricus (called L. bulgaricus) or Streptococcus thermophilus (called S. thermophilus).

The fact that the bacteria are live is critical to the formation of the yoghurt. It is the activity of the live bacteria that converts the lactose (a form of sugar) in the milk into lactic acid, which in turn, because of its acidity, reacts to cause the proteins in the milk to solidify (or at least thicken).

Some yoghurts are then pasteurised to kill the bacteria before they are sold - the container will be marked to state whether there are live bacteria present. Most people prefer the live bacteria versions for perceived or actual health reasons.

Note: In the US, the "National Yogurt Association" (NYA) has defined specific criteria for live and active culture yogurt. In order for manufacturers to mark their products with the 'live and Active' seal, refrigerated yogurt products must contain more than 100 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture, and frozen yogurt products must contain 10 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture.

So 100 grammes of yoghurt will contain 10 billion live bacteria!!! (eeeksss...but it's a good one)

Health Benefits:

The primary benefits of natural yoghurt are simply a result of the potassium, calcium, B12 and other B vitamins and protein that it contains.

The claimed benefits of yoghurt include:

• reduced gastrointestinal infections
• improved immune system (resistance to illness and infection)
• greater resistance to cancer
• reduced incidence of osteoporosis (wekened bone strength)

Additional benefits include:

• treatment of, and reduction of the symptoms of, thrush
• lactose intolerant people can often consume yoghurt, because the enzymes in the yoghurt help reduce the lactose levels in the intestines - thus gaining the benefits contained in all milk based products (above all calcium)
• improved absorption of calcium in the intestine, because the lactic acid in the yoghurt provides the perfect environment for this absorption to occur

The benefits of live yoghurt over pasteurised yoghurt do not seem to be conclusively proven, despite strong evidence that they exist. However there is strong, if not inconclusive evidence, and most nutritionists would recommend the 'live' version.

And the benefits of heat-treated yoghurt? These are:

• a longer shelf-life, and hence more financially viable for the manufacturer
• a less bitter taste

If you guys love ice-cream and yoghurt, you can go to YogurBerry @ Warisan Square, Kota Kinabalu and City Mall, Lintas. The Yogurberry is so healthy because it is made from yoghurt powder imported from Korea that contains only fruit sugar and has ‘Low Glycemic Index 19’, meaning it can even be enjoyed by mild diabetics.

YogurBerry’s speciality is the Frozen Yoghurt Ice Cream that features yoghurt ice cream served with a choice of 28 toppings like fruits, chips, nuts and syrup. Its menu also has Snow Yoghurt Ice Cream (likened to be Malaysia's ice kacang or ABC as it has shaved ice), Fruit Juices, Yoghurt Juices and Health Teas. For snacks, they have The Nemo Cake and Walnut Ball are traditional Korean snacks made with red bean fillings. The Walnut Ball with a coating of crushed walnuts for a crunchier taste is smaller than the Nemo Cake...Ooooh yuuuummyyyy!!!....(i'm drooling already)... :D

Start your weekend with a healthy foods and drinks, okay folks...

Thank God It's Friday???

Well, i wanna let it all out here. This will be my last Friday in my working place. First thing in my mind right now, i'm gonna missed my friends here whom i've known for years. Missing all the confusing, hectic, urgencies, datelines, meetings, functions, chit chats, gossiping and most of all true drama happens in the office *sigh* (I'll keep that to myself *zip*)

Counting the days, i still have 3 more days to be here!!!....Hand over had been done yesterday...i guess my successor for my post here is very confused and *duh* with all the work procedures (ISO company thats why) If some of you doesn't know what is ISO, it stands for International Organization of Standardization. It's a system which is a must for all construction firm by 2009.

So, come back to my story here. My 7 years of working here will be remembered. All my experiences, i will bring it to my new place, adjust it and improve it more.

*Phew* Getting ready to pack and go.

This quote makes me thinking. Don't you?...

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living. (By Bertrand Russell)
