My birthday falls in February and thus decided to redeem golden screen cinema free movie tickets. Unfortunately,none of the movies screening just right after Chinese New Year are meant for such redemption.  Since I had planned to watch Malaysia's Think Big Big movie, I forked out RM15.50 for the 110 minutes movie (excluding GSC's annoying and wasting time advertisement). Movie Synopsis from GSC  Moon is a happy and confident plus-sized girl. She’s working as a mascot performer in a theme park. She never cares about how other people judge her until she accidentally involved in a slimming competition. She even becomes the “Nation Goddess” who is constantly being watched by the netizen. Getting lost in the fancy internet world, Moon’s life has turned upside down. She loses the support of her parents and even her besties. What can she do to regain her true happiness and win back the people she loves? If you are a Malaysian or Singaporean, you could immediate...

In the beginning, she talked how much she loved her best girlfriend at school. How pretty her friend was...the girl had this dress and that shoes...and how much she wanted to be like her. Then one day, she came home and told me she refused to go to school because that friend been hitting her. Mayday Mayday

It is a shame that as a local, I only get interested to taste fresh Sinalau Bakas at Kampung Kelawat. A stop enroute to Kundasang from Tamparuli. Just key in Kampung kelawat in waze or google maps for the direction.  In this post, I will share my own experience having the food at the Kampung.  Meet Mariana, a local who runs the stall for the past eight years. She gets the supply from Lahad Datu.  Fresh wild boar grilled above low fire made the meat tender and fragrant.  RM20 per kilogramme.  You may choose the fatty part or lean meats. It is priced at RM20 per kilogramme. Some said the meat used to cost at RM15 per kilogramme only.  A choice of the fatty part or ribs.  I recommend to try both. The fatty part is not that "oily" as you will taste the juice oozing out as you chew them in your mouth. But, I think the rib part is even more delicious especially when you dip with soy sauce condiment.  If you...

People around me have recently are abuzz about the Bell's Burger at Signal Hill, Kota Kinabalu.  I decided to give it a try and the post here is merely personal view.  Such publicity even lured foreigner to go to the place for dinner. Pardon me for the bad photograph of the food I ordered at the Bell's burger. I remember ordering lamb burger which is at RM7++. A little bit disappointed with how it was served. Splashes of chili sauce all over the fries. How am I supposed to share with my young child. The bun was quite soggy and the patty had taste but...did not fulfill my expectation. Nachos at RM3. Again, the sauce spoiled everything and nachos are obviously from the packed nachos sold at supermarket.  Ordered another dish- hot dog bun. It looks appetizing but cannot really finish them.  Maybe the selling point is the so called hipster ambiance, where staff prepare food from the mini bus. But, besides that, it was quite ...

Run out of idea where to bring your children to on weekends? Why not go for a short trip to Papar on Papar?  The double-coach train, which departs from Tanjung Aru station (behind aeropod building along Jalan Kepayan), is an affordable and enjoyable experience for kids and adults who have yet experience peninsular Malaysia's LRT, MRT, monorail or KTMB. Ticket fare for adults and children.  Ticket fare for adult is RM1.95 while children is RM0.95 from Tanjung Aru to Papar. The 90-min journey will cover Tanjung Aru, Putatan, Kinarut, Kawang and Papar.  Earlier we checked on the the train schedule, apparently it arrives 15 minutes earlier than scheduled 7.45am, To be safe, always spare some 15-20minutes. The perks of getting up from Tanjung Aru station on weekends probably will have seats for you rather than other stations. Some of the lush green view en route to Papar.  Alight from the train at Papar station.  We reached arou...

I cant wait for husband to come back to us after living apart for close to a year. This Holy week, I guess I will just need to pray more for him to pass his examination so there would not be another six months extension for his Masters study.  As a working mother to a preschooler, I find myself racing with time and being very disciplined in everything I do.  On weekdays, I have to get up the latest at 5.30am to prepare daughter and myself for her school and my work.  It looks so early and plenty of time to use but in reality they just slip through my fingers after only few things are done.  Usually will start with boiling water to prepare her morning milk and my #Anlene drink. As I wait for the water to boil,, will do a 7-minute workout to wake myself up.  Next task is to prepare daughter's morning lunchbox and myself having quick breakfast while watching e-newspaper. Usually will stuck in between breakfast and shower if there i...
