Ipoh is known for being a melting pot of various delectable local dishes that get Malaysians from all over the country to come and savour the flavours . This state capital’s uniqueness was something that Ipoh Parade (IPM) chose to realise in launching Next Food Avenue (NFA), the mall’s unique food court concept. Offering a wide-range of mouth-watering dishes, the food court takes pride in cooking up Ipoh’s best cuisine under one roof. This is where shoppers are given the option to have their favourite local food in comfort without having to bath in the warm sun. They can rely on the fact that the food quality and taste are maintained, as the hawkers at NFA are the very people owning the original favourite stalls. The food court gained popularity due to its commitment to cater to all ethnicities wanting to get their food fix. It implemented a dual concept approach; separating pork-free and non-halal sections. This unique feature made the food court entirely different from the r...

As I was lying in bed just before, hoping to drift off into the land of dreams, I play out my usual routine – flipping through Facebook to see what my friends have been up to, and to check out the latest in news and product offerings. Up pops the link to the following article; so a quick copy / paste / email later, and yippee, I have a copy. It must have been serendipity, as I went to download the email into my computer to share with my team, and the very portal hosting said article had emailed it to me too! Yep, a sign from the cloud – I must add my two cents worth in too. Source - Pixabay.com So, the question at hand is: Is Facebook a social media site, or has it evolved to a content site? I see points for both sides of this fence, even through my own usage of Facebook. But, if I’m going to answer the question from a perspective different to the article which follows; it all depends on how you use it. It is not whether Facebook has become a content site; it is whethe...

Now I think I’m the only one in Orchan who has watched ‘The Walking Dead’ right from season one up until season six (or, even at all). I can say that my colleagues have no clue what the whole story is about, except for the fact that it’s a horror TV series about surviving in a world laden with zombies as the central theme. I wouldn’t blame them for missing out on one of the most compelling TV series on Earth! – Zombies are not for everyone. As much as I enjoy the show, I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of the whole zombie apocalypse fad that got a lot people (especially hard-core zombie fans) wishing for such state of affairs to happen in real life. Bludgeoning apathetic and torpid living (dead) beings might be ideal for some, but I bet most of us would shy away from the idea knowing that instead of being the survivors, we might end up being one of the masses instead, as explained in the picture below. Fond or not, there’s always something to learn about from a TV series; ...

When Quick Response (QR) Code technology became popular among businesses a few years back, companies everywhere embraced the technology as a way to further enhance their business operations. It was a big of a deal for a lot of them. Some use it as a tool in commercial tracking applications while some incorporate it into in their marketing, advertising, and promotion initiatives. Yappy.tv, an online Chinese news and lifestyle portal in Malaysia (now closed), didn’t turn a blind eye to this technology. As a way to reach new heights, the media vehicle included it as one of their initiatives to help businesses and advertisers to reach target demographics. QR Code makes it easy for customers to access advertisements using their smart phones. It allows a number of advantages such as driving the customer to the brand / product website, providing e-voucher for promotional offer, displaying short videos and even including GPS coordinates or map so that customers can go to the point of ...
