For some reason all these chains of restaurants and cafes are popping out of nowhere here. I returned from Raya leave and suddenly now we have got our own Starbucks... It is occupying this one new lot in Bintang Plaza that has been vacant for as long as I remember. Me trying to contribute to the local economy of course dont mind at all spending 8++ bucks on a cup of coffee... is it me or is it cheaper here cause I remember starbucks coffee cost at a least 10 bucks... or is it that they actually reduced the prices....
Now if they did reduce their prices thats really good news in these times with all that financial crisis and credit crunch. It is jut so mind boggling to me... how can all these behemoths of investment banks and financial institutions just failed the way they did.... I mean these investment bankers are supposedly smart people making lots of money for their companies and themselves right... and the next day the whole company just failed.... I still dont understand how these investment banks are so adversely affected by that subprime mortgage thing... now i am just happy that I still have a job. Or should we be worried about our jobs? I mean the way that the companies just collapsed.... it seems like that could happen to any company.
