March - Qingming, Eat and Eat and Eat

Cont/-...

The next morning woke up early... not that early la but 6.30am coz going for QingMing. It's Chinese traditional festival . Qingming is Tomb-Sweeping Day. This year it's on 5th of April but can do it 2 weeks early.

It's my first time going for this. The night before, Papa told me a few "Do Not". DO NOT speak nonsense at graveyard. DO NOT simply pick up anything and bring home. DO NOT answer when hear people call my name. Guess, this is the only time I can ignore when I hear my name being called.

And it's the only time I get to "play" with fire. I was "in-charge" of burning offering to my ancestors.

After finish the offering, it's time for us to cari makan . Went and bought delicious "roti paung" and Nasi Minyak for breakfast.

Previously I did not like Nasi Minyak. But this time, am crazy about Nasi Minyak. Day and night also want to eat that. That day I had Nasi Minyak for breakfast , lunch and dinner!

Dinner was with Papa's friend. We went somewhere around Marang. Service was slow . Thus, I have time to play with my "new"/inherited phone.

Snapped some selfie

Some seaside scene. 

Wefie with Mamarazzi

Finally food was served. The fried prawns were cold but the Keropok Lekor and the fried sotong was good. Still not satisfied. I suggested we go have second round dinner at Warung Katana. The Keropok Lekor there was yummy. 

Papa said okay and off we went. Yahoo!

Stop by Warung NorAzila to tapau some nasi minyak as Papa's friend  have not eaten that for long time. I also want la. 

At Warung Katana we did not ordered much. Just ordered seafood tomyam , ABC and salted fish fried rice. The food was yummy

And of course the Keropok lekor. Gone in a blink. 

I had Nasi Minyak. Niceeeeeeee....

Next day its time to go home lo. But before that, must stop at Gerai Warisan Losong to buy some vacuum packed keropok lekor to bring home. 

And some to eat in the car... Hey... those things behind there not all mine ah... some are "Courier Service"  things.

Hey! They have expanded. They were selling Sata/Satar too. It's a traditional food. Fish paste mixed with some birds eyes chili and dunno what then grill.

Mamarazzi wanted to buy fish from Temerloh . So we stopped there for lunch. This time we went to a new shop instead of to the Esplanade. 

We went to Go Bang Maju  Patin Tempoyak. It's a self service type of restaurant. Very organised.  There is a counter where customer can go and take their food. Each dish is put into small individual plate and bowls  and price is stated clearly there. 

I only took fried chicken with rice. But Papa and Mamarazzi had the Ikan Patin with tempoyak. Wah... Mamarazzi said super spicy but nice.  Can't stop eating. 

Spicy ah... had to cool down the tongue with an ice cream or two. 

As we start journey again, I was hungry again. Found the nasi minyak that Mamarazzi packed for me in the morning.  Second round of lunch. 

As I was having my second round of lunch, Papa and Mamarazzi went to buy Patin fish to bring home, 

Tummy full...happy already... can zzz now. Can continue our journey home.

Stop by Bukit Tinggi to buy  steamed peanuts and some raw peanuts. Don't know why the peanuts here taste nicer.

Arrived home around 8pm. Traffic was rather heavy. The dog was super happy to come home after a few days in boarding. Tail wagging non-stop. 

Next day, stayed home and rest coz school re-opens on Monday.... sobs.... 

March-Books Sale, Trip and Balik Kampung

I thought we were done with March but it seems not. Mamarazzi was tempted by members in FB to go for Popular sale at Viva. She went to Popular Starling and Borders sale without me. So when I heard she wanna go to Popular sale at Viva, die die I also wanna follow. 

On the way there, stopped and refuel. A friend text her saying that COSTA COFFEE is offering free coffee at SHELL petrol station. Ngum ngum we were there. Just nice. I managed to get a cup of free chocolate drink for myself and one iced latte for Papa. Hey, the Iced Chocolate drink taste very good leh. 

Arrived at Viva, we split up. I went hunting for my books and Mamarazzi went hunting for my books(LOL).

Seems like at Viva the offer is better than Starling . A lot of RM20 for 5 books around. We managed to find a lot of good books

I found the books I wanted too and some stationery. Some have 90% discount tags.

Since its so cheap, Mamarazzi also bought some for friends' kids

Here Mamarazzi managed to find a few books for herself. Choice not as good as Starling but better than when compared to previous year , zero. 

Mamarazzi didn't expect to be able to get that many good books  but we end up with a few bags full. Not bad ..not bad at all.

Didn't bring enough recycle bags. Had to buy a recycle bag from them as they don't have plastic bags nor box.

 Can't wait for dig into my new books. 

That day, we also managed to get Secret Recipe "buy 2 Free 1" offer. Nice to have cake while reading. 

The next day, I went for a trip. 

We visited Yakult Factory, Seremban Cultural Museum and play at Funtopia. It was super duper fun. Didn't snap any photos coz Mamarazzi don't let me bring camera. the photos are from my teacher. 

Came back from trip, I  was hyper. Can't sleep but next morning had to wake up at 4.30am. 

Yup... off we went. Back to hometown we go. Brought along a pillow so that I can sleep in the car. It's a 6 hours journey but in between we did stopped to have breakfast with our friends. Forgotten to snap photos of the nice nasi lemak and nasi minyak that we had.

Stopped awhile to visit Papa's colleague and saw some oil palm trees. Picked up and oil palm seed.

We finally reached our destination around 1pm.... but 1st stop....Losong... to buy yummy Keropok Lekor from Keropok Warisan Losong Shop. Wah... this shop is getting famous leh. Foreigners also know to come and eat here.

Hot... hot... hot...but it's so... so... so... YUMMY....

That night we went to Warung Katana for dinner. No photos coz was too dark and hungry. We had fried Sotong(squid), fried keropok Lekor, grilled fish, vegetables, noodle, ABC , drinks and it cost RM77 only.

Shall I continue this post? I think better not... need to break it into 2 posts as many more photos to come. So see you again soon. 

March-Nursery Visits, RFID, Books Sale And Food

March starts with nursery visits. I followed Mamarazzi and her friends for plant hunting at Sg Buloh. Loads of plants selling at a very cheap price there.

Very hot day. Yea... we are having crazy weather this month. Temperature goes up to 35 °C . Sweating like mad.

Oh ya.. I've got a new bicycle. Thank you very much Uncle Tan for the bicycle. Now I can zoom here and there liao.

Our car got fitted with RFID liao. Now it's still trial period, so it's free. Very fast and convenient. So far so good.

Those who have not apply for RFID yet, better hurry. Heard that this is going to replace Smart Tag. Not sure if it is true.

Last Friday Mamarazzi went nuts ... she went to TWO books sale WITHOUT me!! How can!!!???? She went for the Popular Clearance sale at Starling Mall. She was happy with it. Plenty of good condition books as compared to last year sale at Viva. ....but but but... that was till she saw in FB the spread offered at VIVA... wah.... seems to be better than Starling wor. More RM20 for 5 books there than at Starling.

Nevertheless, she managed to get these for me. Some stationery and some comics for me.

Some Chinese books for me. She had to ask the staffs there to translate since I was not there to help. Huhuhu... see! See! See! that's the result of not bringing me along.

Surprisingly, she managed to get some books for herself/ She had stopped buying books for herself for sometime. She said she is looking forward to read the book about Chin Peng. I have no idea who he is.

Some more Papa and Mamarazzi went to eat Non-halal Banana Leaf rice without me. Yea... you read correctly. It's non-halal as they offered pork  in their menu. Papa ordered wild boar curry. Mamarazzi said she still preferred the good old style Banana Leaf Rice instead of this.

After re-charged her energy, she went for second books said pulak. It was Borders Sale at Evolve Concept Mall. Actually she was looking for more FIXI books but can't seems to find any. Managed to dig up 3 books. Offer not as attractive as Popular sale.

No Banana Leaf Rice to eat... what do I eat? I eat books lo. Huhuhu....

Came home and the 2 combs of Banana that Uncle Eric gave had ripen. The next day Mamarazzi went and fried banana for us to eat. Yipee... so nice to eat. Not like the ones bought from stall. 

February 2019 Wrap Up-Birthdays Month

Sweep sweep mop mop clean clean... Birthdays Birthdays and Birthdays.... 

Celebrated my birthday early at tuition center with my friends.

I wanted a FORTNITE cake but the cake house dunno how to make for Ice Cream Cake. So in the end Mamarazzi just told them to write the word Fortnite on a piece of Chocolate. She also prepared a layered jelly for me. It looks like a cake. 

Some of the food prepared ....wah.... too much food too much food...  teacher said keep the Jelly for next day teatime la. 

The next day was Papa's birthday and I treated him to Arab and Syrian Cuisine at Mozer's Bukit Jelutong.

Then  got stuck on  horrible Friday traffic jam... how ah? detour to have a piece of cake la. Treated Papa with a piece of cake and of course I also ordered one for myself too. 

Next morning woke up super-duper early. It's my actual birthday and coincidentally it's KIDZANIA's 7th birthday too. I received a free ticket from Kidzania KL. See the special button? Birthday boys and girls gets to wear that. Everywhere I go, the staff wish me a Happy Birthday.

Now expert already. Immediately went to McDonald to work and got a Happy Meal. Yea... Mamarazzi too stingy to buy food there. Hey! now the happy meal comes with fries!. Previous, they only give burger. 

After settling my meal, I got started with "jobs" hunting. 

Then around noon, the "PARTY" started. This year celebration seems to be a bit "quiet". Got two cupcakes. One for Mamarazzi and one for myself.

Halfway "playing", we bump into a friend and his mom. And off I went with my friend while Mamarazzi and his mom went to the Parent Lounge to rest. On and off we went and check in with moms.

We play till closing time. Earned a lot of Kidzo(Kidzania currency). But I didn't see anything that I want to buy. So gave out most of the Kidzo to others. 

When playing I didn't feel hungry at all. Mamarazzi kept asking me to drink water. Drink drink drink but don't feel like going to the washroom at all.

But after playing.... I was FAMISH(yeah...with capital letters and all). Papa treated me to Sushi Mentai.I ate more than 10 plates of sushi. YUMMY!!! 

Zonked out during the journey home. This year birthday have been GREAT. 

Restaurant Tarbush and Mega Lanes, Sunway Pyramid

Today we went for makan-makan with Mamarazzi's friends. We went to Restaurant Tarbush at Sunway Pyramid. It's a restaurant that serve middle eastern food. The restaurant is located at a rather secluded area at  Marrakesh side. The good thing is that the place is pretty quiet. Good venue to makan-makan and chit-chat.

I sort of like the food here. Came home asked Mamarazzi whether she knows how to cook this type of food.

Mamarazzi ordered Mandy Rice with Lamb for me but I only wanted the Lamb

I like the most is Tarbush Mix Grill which consist of Shish Kebab, Shish kebab, Lamb cubes, fries, grilled prawns and grilled arayes. No idea what is arayes so they went and google it.  Ohhh...it's pita bread stuffed with minced lamb meat.

Second was this. Forgotten the name but I love the chicken kebab. Yum yum...

Mamarazzi and one of her friend like this . If not mistaken it's called Mazze II which consist of hommus, mutabal, arabic salda, tabouleh, falafel and kibbeh.  Stuff into the bread and eat. Very appetising.

Of course we didn't eat these by ourselves lah.. we shared. Each gets a taste of everything.

Portion wise is okay la. Price wise is a bit higher than some of the middle eastern restaurant that we have been to but we must also consider the rental there. Taste  wise, the food was good.

This yummy Chocolate steamed cake also very yummy too. Very chocolaty and not too sweet. But you can't get it at Tarbush. It's made by one of Mamarazzi's friend.

Supposed to go bowling after the brunch but then something came up. They went back instead but we went searching for the bowling alley.

It's my first time going bowling.

Saw Mamarazzi went to the counter to check out the price. Wow... she super long time have not bowled. Now price for a game  is RM13/person. Shoe rental RM3 and socks RM3. Lucky I was wearing socks . So no need to buy socks. Need to deposit a shoe with them before they give us a pair of bowling shoe.

Off we went looking for the bowling ball that ngum(suit) our weight. Wahhhhh... 6kg is min there.



After helping Mega Lanes to "Clear the drain", (It's a joke that means the ball fell into the "drain" at either sides of the lane.), I finally managed to hit a few pins. Okay la..not that bad la.

After bowling, we went jalan-jalan a bit. Saw Starbucks. I immediately went in and check whether they have used coffee ground . Need it for the garden. Guess what! they gave me one whole bag full of used coffee ground. Think they  said it's a week worth of coffee ground. Don't know how many kg but it's sure heavy.

 Ditch it in the car and Jalan-jalan cari makan some more. This time... sushi. Yum yum... Then it's time to go home.
