Queen coming to grace the opening ceremony May 14, 2016 bizadmin The Malaysian queen is coming tomorrow to M Mall, Penang Times Square to grace the opening ceremony at 9:00am. Since I no longer attend the local baptist church due to politics, I might just go downstairs and watch the opening ceremony myself the see in ‘permaisuri agong’ in person. Tomorrow, dad is also celebrating is belated birthday at Soon Lai around 7pm. It had been postponed for some time due to unavailability of some of us due to work. The food there is cheaper and tastier, with many patrons dining there occupying almost all the tables. This speaks volumes of the popularity of the restaurant. Just pray and hope that my money in cpf can be taken out soon.
Met Singapore Church Friend May 8, 2016 bizadmin My best friend had to go back to Johor to attend his father-in-law’s funeral today and his mother-in-law’s funeral was just 2 weeks ago. So, I am alone at the condo. Well, my Singapore church friend called up out of the blue and we decided to meet at his brother’s hardware shop in Times Square and together, we had dinner at Food Gallery – just 2 of us. It had been some years already since we last met up as she had to go back to Singapore to work and we lost contact since then. Through Facebook, we managed to get in touch again and I have learnt that she is now intentionally unemployed doing missions works. Her 4S HDB flat had been fully paid off since she worked for DBS for 18 years and another 16 years for IBM. Not bad for someone who comes from a single parent family when her father passed on prematurely.
Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel May 2, 2016 bizadmin I stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel for free from yesterday afternoon and checked out today using the Elite Voucher. It so happened that there was a HomeDec exhibition at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and I managed to collect a few recycle bags after registering my details. After that I went back to rest and went for a free buffet dinner using the voucher as well. Took cold flower crabs and scallops, some sticks of chicken satay with peanut gravy and some dessert. We also managed to redeem another voucher for a bottle of free Merlot Chile wine and 9 chocolate pralines and a small chocolate cake using the vouchers as well.
Was in Melaka April 29, 2016 bizadmin I set out for Melaka by car early this morning, waking up at 5am and set out by 5:30am. We stopped by a few rest and relax stopovers for breaks and small meals before the meeting today. Now I am back in USJ 19, Rhythm Avenue after having dinner of corn salad and mushroom soup with Earl Grey tea at Main Place. I discovered that there are only 2 flights to Melaka direct from Penang via Malindo airlines with only 2 flights per day. Since Air Asia, Firefly and Malindo’s flight schedules are not suitable for our meeting today, my partner decided to drive down instead and stay overnight until next week for another meeting to negotiate pricing with the boss flying down from India.
Flying to KL Tomorrow April 24, 2016 bizadmin I shall be flying to KL early tomorrow morning by Air Asia, arriving at KLIA at 8:00am. We will go for a site visit to a factory and then head over to Melaka by rented car to hand over the tender documents. This will take about 2 hours on the road just one way trip down to Melaka from KL. I booked and paid for the boarding passes online and web check in to print out the boarding passes for easier checking into the air port lounge. By the way, Air Asia may be cheaper but it has frequent delays, sometimes up to an hour to 4 or more. There are pros and cons of flying with Air Asia and with Firefly. Yesterday, we were busy preparing the tender documents for submission soon next week.
ukij-com-scam.html April 22, 2016 bizadmin This is not a scam as many would have claimed but a rather legitimate site for investment. With technology and the internet, more and more people are doing business the online way ; from looking for a life partner, to doing business and working from a home office. Just check out the site or google it to find out other reviews and others’ opinions to get a true picture of the company. I guess at the end of the day, you have to know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. I do admit, there are many scams out there, and you need to be cautious. So, likewise, for this company, you also need to know the difference and take care of your hard earned money.
Stayed in Jen Hotel April 20, 2016 bizadmin Last Sunday, there was no electricity at my condo due to upgrade of hardware and we decided to stay in Jen Hotel nearby. It cost us $272 after taxes and service charge without breakfast. There is a club lounge for the club members room clients where there is free food for the taking. We walked across the road to Prangin Mall and 1st Avenue to watch Jungle Book movie and I had a quick dinner of 1 California Temaki just on the 5th floor of First Avenue shopping mall. My partner ordered 2 Green Latte from StarBucks on the ground floor with a smaller cup for me as part of our meal. We decided to stay in Jen Hotel as we always sleep with the air-con turned on every night. In this hot sweltering weather, it is difficult to sleep without electricity.
Was in Genting Awana a Few Days Ago April 16, 2016 bizadmin I was in KL for business and went down to Melaka and Johor before heading back to KL to stay for 1 night and then off, we went to Genting Awana Golf Resort Hotel to stay for a night. All the hotels right at the top of the mountain were fully booked, leaving only Awana still available midway to the top. The good thing is that it comes with breakfast for our superior deluxe room with 2 queen sized beds. Our room was relatively larger than the next room which looked rather cramped inside. Just opposite Genting Awana, there were major construction going on and perhaps they are building another hotel to cater to the increasing demands of the tourists. The number does not seem to abate despite lack of room freebies and breakfast in First World Hotel.
