Sky juice and Youtube at Starbucks Coffee

Written by Nicholas Chan on October 11, 2008 – 5:33 pm -

I am now sitting at Starbucks Coffee of Gurney Plaza, waiting for mom to give me a call. I don’t want to go for a walk or window shopping because I don’t have that feeling. I brought my netbook, ordered some pies and a glass of sky juice, sitting down with the netbook connected to the wireless Internet and plugging into one of the many power points on the wall. I am watching Guai Tan 怪谈 while chatting with friends on Live Messenger.

I like going online at Starbucks but the price of beverage and coffee here is very expensive. Now I know what to order, order some low price yet nice pie and ask for a glass of ice water. Walla! You can now sit at Starbucks Coffee for a long time but need not to order an expensive coffee.

Update:Mom just come and I’m shutting down my netbook.

USA Starbucks Card in Malaysia

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 5, 2008 – 12:28 am -

I remembered when I was ordering food at Starbucks Coffee, Suria KLCC, I saw a lady paid the cashier in cash and later she gave her a card. I then quickly surf the net to look for any Starbucks Coffee privillage card or sort of. What I found is Starbucks Card which is a prepaid card which stores credit for buying coffee.

Unfortunately, it’s only available in a few country only, etc. United States, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, UK and a few more. Malaysia is not in the list. However, that lady did give the cashier a card. Is it a foreign Starbucks Card and she was using it for point collection? I don’t know.

I saw the Starbucks Card quite interesting on the net and decided to get one for myself. For collection and also for use if I could use it in Malaysia. Checked Ebay and I found one that’s only $3. Bought it and it has arrived today in my letterbox. It took about 1 and a half week for the delivery from United States to Malaysia. It seems fast.

Nothing much in the envelope, there’s a greeting card and the Starbucks Card itself.

It has $0 credit in the card and I don’t what should I do with it. For the sake of funness and attractiveness of the card, I bought it off the net. I love Starbucks, but it’s expensive. Any Starbucks collector here?
