Nasi Lemak


This is one of the most popular and common breakfast in Malaysia. Nasi Lemak.
.
There is one stall nearby my house that sell quite decent Nasi Lemak. I do hate to eat nasi lemak which the rice grain is too soft.
.
Their "Sambal" is stall is really HOT.
.
However, there is something "wrong" in the "management" of this stall.
.
A pack of normal nasi lemak cost RM1. If add "sotong", they charge you RM2-50. I usually buy 2 packets, which cost me RM5.
.
Then I "discover" a "loophole". Nowadays, I would buy 2 packets of "nasi lemak biasa" and ask them to "bungkus sotong" for RM2. The quantity of "sotong" which they give is quite generous. More than enough to eat with the 2 packets of "nasi lemak".
.
Well, as Pak Lah say "Change your lifesytle". Have to find ways of saving $$ eventhough it's only RM1.
.
muhahahahaha

Ballerina Doll

Around year 1989/1990, there was a fad of knitting ballerina dress for small plastic dolls. The doll was then hang onto the front mirror dolls or glued to the dashboard. I wonder if anyone still remember that fad. At that time nearly every car has one of such decoration.


If I remember correctly, the chubby plastic doll cost 90 sen and the yard cost around RM1-50. One ball of yard is enough to make 1 dress.


A few years back, I saw the doll sold at knitting shop in IOI Mall Puchong for RM7(without the dress). I was like "WHAT???!! Just a 5cm-6cm plastic doll selling for RM7???"


I wonder if any knitting shop in KL area still sell those dolls. If anyone know, drop me a message ya.

Tyre Puncture




This Small Kucing went for a morning walk. Learnt something interesting. A neighbour's car's tyre was punctured. She subscribed to AAM. Thus, rescue is just a phone call away. Though had to wait rather long for the rescue due to peak hour. Traffic jam everywhere.



AAM to the rescue!! Finally arrived. The van quite "old" looking eh.





This skinny man from AAM had us worried for a second. He claims that he had an operation last month to remove his appendices. Dear God, please don't let his wound burst while he is changing the tyre.






He made changing tyre looks like an easy job. Eh! how come he is not sweating at all? A tug here, a knock there and the car is ready for action once again. Really expert. Takes less than 15 minutes.




This is the culprit. A nail indiscriminately "disposed" on the road. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we won't know. But for the past few weeks, this Small Kucing noticed around this area there were two other cars which back tyres were punctured.

FREE Facial Treatment

I went for a FREE facial treatment at a well known professional skin care company today. Was told the package worth RM280 and takes 3 hours which include facial (1.5hrs) and Consultation a.k.a. brainwashing (1.5hr)


Disappointed by their "treatment" there. Not professional at all. Seems to be "Slam! Bam! Thank you Madam" method.


Gave me a whole bunch of questionnaire to fill up. Snap some photos of my skin and say how BAAAAD my skin condition is currently. Usher me to the treatment room.


When I request to visit the ladies prior to the treatment, the consultant was like "Errr...You wanna go to ladies??". As if the question is out of the ordinary. Duh! helllo...if I didn't want to visit the ladies, would I ask the question???


In the treatment room, slap some "soap" on my face and washie washie. Slap a mask on. Left me there for ages. Think she had forgotten me. Then comes in extract a few blackheads, put some cream or something and slap some more mask on. Then, okay done.


Then back to the "brainwashing". Snap some photos of the "Glowing" skin and remarked how my skin is "glowing" from their treatment. Of course it's glowing, after all the cream and moisturiser slapped on.


Many friends told me "Aiya! 1st trial like dat lor. Cincai one lah. Where got give you full treatment one?"


I feel strongly against that. I feel that if they expect me to sign-up package with them, they should have given me their 100% effort and makes me feel that the treatment is worth RM280 eventhough it's Free Trial. These kind of half hearted effort is like false advertisement whereby they say one thing and do another thing.


This is one of the worst 1st trial facial that I've ever been to.


The best would still be a professional skin care company situated behind Central Supermarket at Old Klang Road. The people there really gave me professional treatment and 100% of their effort eventhough they know it's a first trial. For them first impression is the most important. Sadly, many so call "Professional" skin care company doesn't realise this.

Located at Jalan Masjid India. Hidden in the backlane of Guardian, next to a row of Indian apparels shops and near the bus-stop. This is the BEST taufu fah and soya bean stall in KL.


The price is cheap at 60sen to RM1 for the Soya Bean and RM1 for the Taufu Fah.


If you wish to have Taufu Fah, you will to go early as the Taufu Fah would be sold off by 2pm.

Books in Indonesia


Found this book in Kinokuniya at Plaza Senayan, Jakarta. Was very happy. Wow! PEARL S BUCK book!


Well, that was until I look at the title "Maharani". Flip open the book. Eh! Bahasa Indonesia. Aiyo! I can't read Bahasa Indonesia.


What I discovered in Indonesia is that there are many English books being translated into Bahasa Indonesia. It's not just those Harry Potter or Enid Blyton's books. Some recent titles and those which have been made into movies. Shocking!. Why do we seldom see that in Malaysia? Maybe then Malaysian would read more.


One thing lacking is that the price of the books there is higher if compared to Malaysia.Opps!! hopefully books distributors won't that this chance to increase the price again...
