Uncle Burger hit by thieves

In a very sad development, our sponsor, Uncle Burger, reported that his stove, table and parasol was stolen from his residence yesterday morning at around 10:30am.

CN is back … almost

Harroo! I’m back from the trip to Singapore!

Plenty of stuff to write about, but we are pooped Give me some time, ya … would likely have something up by the end of this week; which is like, 24 hours away …

CN’s trip, south of the border …

We are going to Singapore!

Choice of transport? Luxury coach from Ipoh: A 20-seating, LCD-screening, DVD-playing fully-reclining chair, First-Class-lounge-on-wheels transport Not much of a choice anyway, given the spat between the Perak state government and AirAsia on the suspension of the budget airline’s Ipoh-Senai route …

But, hey: we are going on a roadtrip!

I’ll be documenting the ride, and all else products and services (mostly food!) that one should come in contact with as a consumer traveling two-thirds the length of Peninsular Malaysia. I’ll also be reviewing the products and services while in Singapore, thus making the following articles a first for CN as product/service reviews exiting Malaysian borders.

So wish me luck in getting some decent Internet connections on the way there, including Singapore – see you there!

Consumer Nation officially on WordPress.com – welcome!

That’s right, folks – CN is now fully powered by WordPress.com, the greatest blogging system in the universe. Well, ok … not the universe, but it’s darn good and as idiot-proof as a blogging interface can get. Sign up for one yourself!

Please read on for important information for existing CN Premier and Standard members!

Pretty good!

It looks like we are almost on “all-systems-go” for WordPress.com to host and manage Consumer Nation (or CN for short since our inception.)

A test site for Consumer Nation

Hi everyone that has happened to stumble upon this site!

I’m just testing out the WordPress.com functionality to see if we can work here the way a lazy fella like me would love to. That means NO more script security fixes, updates, upgrades, and stuff like that … I’m currently hosting my stable of blogsites using WordPress, see.

Everything seems to be dumbed-down nicely from a long-time WP user’s point of view … but I dunno. There’s still a whole bunch of “functionality” I believe I seriously do not need, nor do I wanna see as I’m of the type that loves to click at whatever crap I see (“Ooo … what’s this do ..?”) and end up screwing myself

Let’s give this a couple of weeks and see what happens. Meanwhile, you can check with our sponsors Ipoh Blog & Podcast and KL Blog & Podcast.
