My Happiest Moment

In early stages of my life, I was brought up in a moderate family. Leaving a moderate life such as going to school and back, from Mondays to Fridays, waiting for weekends and Public Holidays.

A time when my parents would come back in the evening, cook dinner, having meals together on the dinner table, watching TV and having them questioning about school and friends.

As I grow older, entering the teen age of 16-17, I started to go out with friends after school, sitting at the mamak stall up to late evening. Even at home, I take my food into my plate and sat at the soft watching TV. Did not really care about their concerns.

Same goes to college life and beginning of my working life. At the time, my home is like a hotel to me, where I just used it as a storage place and only back when i need to catch a sleep. When I started to make some progress in my work, I started to book flight for travel trips

Bangkok

Macau

Hong Kong

Korea

I can say that about 90% of my time be it working, studying and travelling i spent with my mates and my colleagues. My last trip was to Korea somewhere in July this year. All this while I thought that I am doing my best, working, travelling and hanging out with my mates. Visiting other countries further and further away, enjoying my life.

When I was in Korea, I thought that this is my furthers place from home and planning to visit other countries that are even further. When I landed here, I saw Koreans really take cares of the family well. Piggy backing their kids even the kids are in primary school from what I see. The place was an eye opener to me. They will all sit together to eat, do some shoppings, going to theme parks and even taking rides together.

After a tiring day at the largest theme park in Korea, Everland, I sat down to take a rest while waiting for Kathy to get some snacks. I saw this pretty little girl that was with her family walking pass me. The little girl was holding a balloon in her hands, and was smiling so happily as she walk.

Out of all the sudden, memories of my earlier life with my family came flashing back and it almost teared me up. I then notices that the best days of my life is when I was her age. Living under protections from parents, their guidance, concerns, advise and everything they do to bring me up as a person today.

I notices that the materials this days will always pass us by but the love of our parents will never pass. As a chinese saying " bringing up a child up to 100 years, you will need to be worried for them until they are 99"

This is the photo of my holiday with my parents and a very memorable one. I will deffinately work towards that and spending more time with them

Thanks Nuffnang & Olympus for giving me the opportunity to submit this post

Instant Ja-jang Myun @ Shin Sun Mi Market

Craving for Ja-jang Myun again!!! This time we found instant ja-jang myun at one of the convenient store in Ampang Korea village :)

Slurp.. look delicious, can't wait to eat now.. this only cost RM6.90 It was not written on the product itself. We actually took only one and went to the cashier. When we were about to pay, the lady said " 1 by 1 " we looked at each other, puzzled. Then it s struck us that she meant "Buy 1 free 1"

This is how it looked without the box. Frozen mee with black bean sauce underneath

With a 700 volt microwave oven, it only takes 5 and a half minute to cook.

So, in it goes

After the 'ding' sound, we took it out, mixed it and wallah, instant ja-jang myun ready to be consumed. It had the ja-jang taste and is enough to satisfy the hunger for the moment, but the best ja-jang myun will always be the one at the Korea airport

Sweet Poems Dessert House (糖柏府)

If you been to Hong Kong before, I'm sure you know about the famous dessert house ''Hui Lau Shan''(許留山) that you can find almost anywhere.

Now Sweet Poems bring the same concept dessert and drinks to Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur

They served mostly Mango desserts and some others as well which you can find in the menu here

Served in a cute bowl like this :)

Sago with pamelo & mango - Rm 7.90

Looks so sweet but on my first bite, the mango tasted so original and goes well with the pamelo. Not as sweet as what I thought at the first place.

Healthy food with fruits :)

How to get a seat?

I was browsing my facebook and was just on clicking a few post shared by others and I found this very interesting post ''Secret Tactics To Help You Get A MRT Seat!''

Not only MRT, this might also be useful for all public transport like LRT,Monorial, KTM, BTS, Subway, and also in the BUS

Want to know how? Okie.. see more below :)

Sharing the post I found, here from Yahoo page.

There are three types of passengers;

the civilian, people who are standing and don’t intend to sit down,

the occupants, people who are already seated,

and lastly the combatants, people standing but wanting to get a seat.

Needless to say, you will be competing against other combatants

Get your first step right

The moment you hop onto the train, always turn away from the divider between two carriages. Making any move towards these dividers is simply digging your own grave. Instead, move towards the centre of the carriage where there are far more seats. This area is known as the “Fertile Valley”

In this Fertile Valley, look out for occupants who may be dropping off. For instance, school children who will most likely be dropping at station in the vicinity of their schools. This may require you to have some geographical knowledge of the area. While it may be difficult at first, it is something you can easily pick up over time. Take note of popular stations like interchanges where occupants often drop off to catch another train.

Also, learn to spot occupants who are entrenched in their seats. Occupants who do not look like they are getting to work or school may be in for the long haul. Chances of you getting their seats will be pretty slim. Find another target.

Always be on the lookout for best position

If an occupant in front is looking to get off, ‘create’ room for them to step out while blocking the advancement of other combatants. Next, quickly switch places with the occupants to grab their seat. Do it with grace and it’ll look like you’re dancing.

Got it? At least something to learn for today but please offer your seats to others that need it better. Especially to the disabled passengers, kids and pregnant lady pleasee... :)

Helping each others makes good relationship and also happiness.

It's an Aparecium Halloween event!

If I m not mistaken it starts from the 1st October – 31st October every year from 6pm onwards.

All the way to the entrance of Cowboy Town was decorated to suit the event, welcoming us to the town, full of mysteries and surprises.

The haunted trees were waiting to hunt their victims!

But Lawrence loved it.
