Well, in JB, I believe only two malls usually have nice decors during festive seasons. There's Sutera Mall, which boasted the best decors in JB all along and City Square Mall. The latter's decor are quite unique though not as extravagant as Sutera Mall. Their concept always seems simple but nice and unique. I usually walk past by City Square whenever...

I thought of giving my wife a surprise by getting her some new clothes after work. Thus, I text her niece who's staying near to my place to help me chose. I thought the clothes and blouses sold here have more varieties than those in JB, especially she was having problems getting some clothes over the last weekend. Before that, I brought my niece for...

It's really been a while since I patronised Kinsahi Japanese restaurant in JB. I remember I used to go there with my wife at the Taman Pelangi branch but that was almost donkey years ago. That branch seems has closed down too. This was the first time I ate at the Tebrau City branch. The decors were good and it was quite a crowd there during dinner...

It was a cold night and I felt like having a ramen tonight, after my workout. So, I immediately thought of Men-ichi Ramen in Northpoint as it was closest to me since I am in the north. It's also been a while since I went to this restaurant. I always thought they make good ramens in Singapore, together with some other Ramen restaurants. Chawanmushi...

Somehow I had a craving for pizza tonight after my workout ... no thanks to the Italian cruise liner I went back in November. I was having pizzas almost everyday then! So, whenever I smell of cheese now,  my stomach will start growling and asking for some pizza fix! So, I ended up in nearby Pastamania to satisfy my craving. Luckily it was still...

Koo Kee Yong Tau Foo I opted for something light tonight for dinner after my usual workout and go for the popular Koo kee Yong Tau Foo. This eatery almost existed in most of the popular food courts around Singapore, for a long time! I love the crunchy noodles and with no lard served, it makes an healthy choice ! Glad it's almost weekend...

After 2014 has started, my Sundays are no longer the Sundays that I knew. There was this ruling in Johor whereby Fridays and Saturdays are declared weekends. This means the public service and schools will starts on Sunday, instead of Monday. Somehow, this ruling has affected my family time as now I only have 1 day in the weekend, which is Saturday,...

During the December holidays, I finally brought my kids to KL's Kidzania after missing out a few times due to full house, lack of time and etc. This time round, I booked the tickets via online few weeks earlier and make sure the date is convenient for us to travel. It was just a few days after Christmas where we started driving to the Curve, with...

I have been reading a lot of STP's blog on kampua noodles. Thus, when I patronised a pan mee eatery in Puchong and saw that they have varieties of noodles there including kampua or in cantonese, kam gua typed, I thought of giving it a try. I love the slice type of pan mee or more known as 'mee hoon kuey' to folks in the south like Johor and...

2014 has arrived and may all of you have a blessed new year ! It was a quiet day for me on 1/1/2014 as I rested at home most of the time. Earlier, I wanted to attend my church's Watch Night service at 10.30pm till midnight on new year's eve but I was put off by the rainy night and heavy traffic.  I only went out in the late afternoon to run some...
