Windows 95. The age of glory.

Went blog-walking, and came upon this link.

Let's all flashback to the 90's eh? 

Say what?

Uh-huh, brace yourselves people. We're going back to the age of Microsoft 95.
The glorious age.

Apa itu hashtag? What's it used for?

Hashtag is a craze for many people socializing on the Internet nowadays. Be it Facebook, Twitter...and especially Instagram.

But the reason why aku terpanggil untuk write this is because ramai yang salah guna 'hashtag' tu. Ok. Let's cut it short and simple.

Here's an example on how to use a hashtag dengan betul.

On weddings etc. Contoh pasangan kat atas ni. Diorang create hashtag sendiri iaitu #MJwedding11 on Instagram. So tetamu yg datang bila dah puas tangkap gambar dengan pengantin, tangkap gambar makanan before-after dan sebagainya..kemudian nak post ke Instagram, maka diorg letak la hashtag tersebut pada gambar.

What the hashtag really means is that it acts as a folder. Bila kita klik #MJwedding11 yang berwarna biru tu, we will see a bunch of photos taken by other people yang attend wedding yang sama. Pengantin pun senang la nak tengok compilation gambar2 taken by others rather than nak mintak diorang e-mel atau whatsapp satu-satu. Haaa...kan senang!

Kadang-kadang aku ketawa sorang2 tgk Instagram orang ber-hashtag merapu (as i call it). Sorry. But it just shows people u're being a follower and not understanding how it actually works.

Don't ever simply create hashtags with no meaning. For example #bosangilerkatumah #muahahakekekehohoho #akuboringlajomjln #sakitpaledohh #bosannyeuwww #agak2sapemenangaf13

Unless of course klau hashtag tu memang wujud la. Camne nak tau hashtag tu wujud ke tak? Well, for a start, memang hashtag tu wujud once korang letak tanda '#' depan sesuatu perkataan tu. Sebab tu dia kaler biru. Tapi camne nak tau hashtag tu ko sorang yang pakai atau dikongsi oleh satu dunia?

Cuba klik kat hashtag yang korang taip tu (yang warna biru tu). Haa...kalau dalam fail tu gambar korang je satu-satunya, means korang syok sendiri. If you're lucky, there might be 1 or 2 photos. Hmm..(ngam la korang berkawan).

I'm not pointing out to anybody here. I'm just sharing what I know. I used to be a noob with these hashtags too. I did not dare use any hashtags on my photos once upon a time. I just captioned it, and post. Eventually, when I understood what hashtags were meant for, baru aku guna.

Hashtags need to be relevant

Tapi tolong laaaa....jangan guna hashtag terlampau banyak. Annoying tau tak? Macam contoh bawah ni.

Oh. Alang-alang aku dah bercerita pasal hashtag ni kan. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan negaranya. Jom kita share gambar with the hashtag of #PositivelyMalaysia. If you don't know what it is, go to the page first on Instagram. See samples from others. Nak letak gambar korang lepak ngan kawan-kawan kat mamak sambil makan tose/roti tisu dan tengok bola ke..atau gotong-rotong beramai-ramai kat kampung untuk hapuskan denggi ke.... Anything. Anything that resembles Malaysia. This indirectly promotes Malaysia in the eyes of the world. People from all over the world can click at the tag and see what Malaysia is all about. Fun isn't it? Of course lahh funn~

Salon Du Chocolat...strictly for chocolate lovers.

It was raining heavily yesterday after work. As much experience as I have gained throughout working here at Jalan Duta in KL, rain is equivalent to major traffic jams. Also equivalent to 2 hours drive back home. Sigh~

Realizing my tummy is drooling for something chocolate-y, I googled for Salon Du Chocolat at Publika. I've always passed by the shop, but never went in. And hastalavista baby..I sure did the right thing. Here's a picture of what the place offered, and instantly made me zoom off to Publika.

Sad thing was, I was here alone. It was unplanned, so I didn't manage to ask anybody else to tag along.

It's just a sweet petite cafe

Salon Du Chocolat is alike DipNdip. Offering chocolates, chocolates and chocolate-based delicacies. *slurppp*.

And therefore, I chose White Chocolate Crepe to please my happy tummy. And it only costs RM14.90. With no service tax charged. What up?

Dear readers, please wipe your drool off. And ohh..is that your tummy making that grumbling noise?

The menu

My first visit here gave me an out-of-the-world satisfaction. Now I know where to satisfy my chocolate cravings in case I crave for one next time. And also because Dip n Dip in Bangsar is quite far from home.

If you happen to look for a 'chocolate friend', call me. Or if you happen to have a better recommendation to where else can I satisfy my chocolate cravings, tell me. Do! Hahahahaha..


Til next time.
