My hubsbaby (haha) Mr Sam has been planning to do this thousand corner ride since years ago. Watching other riders youtube vlog fb are his obsession. And me, as a good wife tried to catch a really low price airfare from AA and finally i got it. RMM399 for 2 pax. YEAYY. Won't burn a hole in my pocket kekdahnya 😜 Monday- Day 1- 4/3/2019 Read one blog said March is not the best season coz' scorching hot weather and humid. Ahhh don't care. Getting the cheapest tickets was my priority. But yeah we got the heat and also ashes from burnt forest along the road. But it's still for our own good as no rain to stop us from finishing the 1864 corners. We park our car at Park @ GoPark Online at Hotel Movenpick. 4-8Mar @ RM125.

THE SMARTEST SAVING PLAN OF ALL

‎السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Apa kabar? Harapnya sihat semua.. Dah lama sgt saya biarkan blog ni bersawang. Sama ada ketandusan cerita atau memang nak kumpul ceritera pengalaman sepanjang tempoh bertapa 😇. Ni posting dlm bahasa ibunda. Dah lama simpan dlm note. Sejak hp lama lg ☺️.  Kali ini saya ingin melontarkan suatu persoalan kepada kawan2 semua. Tolong jawab dengan jujur kepada diri sendiri. 1) Anda ada buat simpanan di bank? 2) Sekiranya anda ditimpa musibah sakit atau kemalangan, adakah bank boleh menyelesaikan bil rawatan di hospital? 3) dan sekiranya anda meninggal dunia, adakah bank akan membayar pampasan kepada waris yang anda tinggalkan atau menyelesaikan hutang-hutang anda? Jika jawapan kepada soalan 2 & 3 adalah "ye", anda boleh berhenti membaca artikel ini dan tinggalkan nombor tel untuk saya hubungi selepas ini. Sesuatu yang baik wajib dikongsi kepada orang lain bukan? Dan sekiranya jawapan anda adalah "tidak/ mana mungkin / mustahil...

Have you ever been to Batam, Indonesia?

Image
Yes, my question to you. It all came from my mom in law's idea to just pick one place where we can visit relatives and do some shopping AND within a certain budget. So last January we flew to Batam in Kepulauan Riau. I know some of you might have some insight on Batam right. Well i can't stop you from thinking that way. Yes, Batam is famous among men who are looking for "entertainment". and the people of Batam also aware of that. But let me tell you this. That kind of business exists anywhere in the world right. Even in papua new guinea heeee. In fact i managed to interview one local lady. she said that the women involved in that industry came from other district or region. Batam folks wouldn't dare to do that for fear of condemnation from their family. Batam is indeed a small town. Here are few photos                                         View from my hotel room.  O...

I know many of you never taste a pineapple cake before. My first encounter was back in the late 90s when one of my colleague gave me one slice which was very soft and yummy and melt in your mouth kind of thing. And at that time what was i thinking? If only i could make this cake on my own. And it took me over 13 years to discover its recipe. Well, my gratitude goes to the net. Hey! Just ask mr google. He'll give you the answer right. Now let me share with you the most amazing pineapple cake ever. I found the recipe on the internet. I think joyofbaking.com lah. Can't remember.

Newly spirited me!

I don't know when did i start engulfing myself with novels recently. i can't stop reading shopaholic series by sophie kinsella..i'm so addicted, despite being busy with my cases, designing and renovating my new house. not to mention my kids varicella plague or chicken pox for easy understanding. i can still find time to read..it's embarrassing to admit that sometimes when nature calls, i bring the book inside the loo. Shopaholic like me? So far, i've read confessions of a shopaholic, shopaholic takes manhattan, shopaholic ties the knot, shopaholic & sister, shopaholic & baby, mini shopaholic. These are rebecca bloomwood (becky) series. Another one is Can you keep a secret with emma corrigan as heroine. I love love love these books. i like becky because she's such a  kindhearted, lively girl, a girl next door who like to shop and always fall into big mess mainly because she doesn't want to hurt her parent's feeling, her friend's or her hus...

Malaysia-Singapore-Tanjung Batu, Indonesia

Image
Salam and good day to all. A week after chinese new year, i had a very truly adventurous journey to Indonesia, attending a wedding party at one of thousands Indonesian island called Tanjung Batu, Kepulauan Karimun. There are few ways to get there. Either we fly straight to Batam then continue with ferry to Tanjung Batu or drive to Kukup Pontian and take ferry to Tjg Batu or by train from KL to Singapore and 2 more ferries. After long considerable thought, the Captain (my husband) chose to board Senandung Malam train from KL Sentral to Woodlands, Singapore. And from there we took  Pelangi Ferry to Tanjung Balai. And then took another small ferry or boat called SB Sun Rico to Tanjung Batu Jetty. Of course, along the way we had many interesting, intriguing and sad moments to share with you all.  SAD STORY We started with 5 when we board the train but lost one when the train reach Seremban. It was a rather sad story to share here because my husband's uncle (closest one) d...
