Indian Style Crab Soup

Don't give me the crab. No, no, seriously, its obviously a crab food story today and definitely an Indian crab story. By the way, have you heard of the Indian crab story? One Indian or the whole lot of Indians pulling down another Indian because he or she is more successful than you? Think about it and I am certain you must heard of this Indian crab story. Quite known amongst us Indians and the whole moral to the Indian crab story? Sadly, we Indians always want to be the best and we, somehow, even to the extent of back stabbing or front stabbing, we will bring down those who are more better than us. Oh Boy! Suppose to be a recipe and I took you around the Indian crab story. Then again, in tandem right because its really Indian Style Crab Soup today.

Kandy (Rambukkana/Mawanella/Kandy) - Sri Lanka

Negambo to Kandy. Indeed, the clear route for the day, but its not gonna be none more except just straight, all the way to Kandy straightaway. Two stops already plotted on our itinerary, the main highlight for most people who embark on the same route is definitely Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Pinnawalla Elephant Orphanage, as far as I know, has already been crowned as a clear winner. Recognized as a must experience. If you are asking me, if my opinion matters to you, whether you should include Pannawalla Elephant Orphanage, you might as well. Why hold yourself back or what should by the way hold you back? Coming this far and not covering this world known and world famed tourist spot? To those of you who potentially will be tour travelling Sri Lanka, do make it a point in checking if your trip is inclusive of Pinnawalla Elephant Orphannage. I somehow reckon it will be. Unless your travel agent is a nut case.

Rosken Skin Repair Feet & Heel Balm

Hello all you great people,
For the next 5 minutes, let's say at least, can we forget about beautifying our face? Instead can we pay attention to our feet and heels which I think we tend to neglect (Ellgy Plus Cracked Heel Cream & DU'IT Foot And Heel Balm Plus)? Am I right or I am wrong? Does it ring the bell? We conveniently ignore the wear and tear of our soles? Mind you, our soles, the foundation to our mobility and our stronghold fort support, supporting our whole body for walking us wherever we want to or have to. To those of you who have been taking care of your feet, well and good. Well done. Millions of claps from me to you. But the rest of you, fret not. Its not the end of the world yet. We can still start somewhere. I am no feet angel by the way. Years of, lemme me conveniently blame it on my ignorance, laugh if you have to on my silly excuse, only two years back I realise I better do something. Otherwise, most probably, I may end up paying the doctor instead. Right now, lemme tell you where you can start. Indeed, obviously, a feet cream and Rosken Skin Repair Feet & Heel Balm (RM22.88), packaged in an opaque white plastic tube with a twistable cap is my latest discovery for the last one month or so.

L'oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Eye Cream

I agree. I must in fact. Age is just a number. I also really must agree that age shouldn't be an excuse for us for not striving positively in life. Neither, should we behave as though its the end of the road for whatever we wanna achieve? Nooo!! But the real reality we should accept is that age will definitely take a toll on our looks. It will, can you trust me please? Age by far, as far as I know, undeniably can run down your beauty. It will. Still, my question to all of you is, must we speed up?  Must we let go of ourselves or pretty much, allow age to walk over us? We giving up by not doing anything? Of course not. Listen. I know we can't possibly turn back the clock to back then even 5 years ago, yet, there is such a thing as aging gracefully and looking good for our age. Yes please. Yes, and yes and yes. All the yesses please.

Negambo - Sri Lanka

Taking my time for digesting the fact that I actually, truly had my moment to one of the best travelling prides in South Africa (Pretoria City Tour & Cape Town), prior to that travel conquering Thailand as well (The Golden Triangle & Chiang Mai), within the next few months, I decided. Money was still sunny, so, why not, I had already allocated the cash aside, I ventured on my own again. However, I had no clue whatsoever where it should be. I went like, where should I start. Of course, what are travel agents for? For us to opt between the choices to all paid for packages. After weighing the pros and cons, I made up my mind. Sri Lanka my paradise. Already been said, countless times as a must do, primarily by Indians. Whether Sri Lanka is a popular destination amongst our Malaysian Chinese or Malays, I really can't affirm, but Sri Lanka, without a doubt, sincerely have been ranked as one of the number one spots by Indians. Why not? I too have been toying with the idea of Sri Lanka venturing. Can't be all the time lending my ears to others who can't stop blowing hot air on literally Sri Lanka everything instead of me myself finding out if Sri Lanka is as sensation as said to be?

The Spa - The Club Saujana Resort

Stress of life. Tell me about it. Don't we all go through it? I know. Trying our level best to cope, maybe not for having the best, but at least a comfortable life. Speak about first and foremost, traffic jam driving daily, to and fro from work, and for every other middle class woman like me, say all you want, we are the ones who are holding the fort to the endless daily chores. Should we, can we credit our husbands as well for providing their share of money betterment? Think about it. My life, trust me, is no better. All stressed wired-up in all directions, generally, I do cope well, but for the last two weeks or so, I really was yearning for my time-out brekkie from my career and out my house. This spa review, thanks to the sponsor, sorry guys, I can't reveal none more, let's just say a mystery marketing research, popped up when I was pondering over how can I relieve my stress.

Pretoria City Tour - Gauteng Province (South Africa)

South Africa! My-my! Never in my slightest moment, honestly, would I have thought South Africa will be an absolute travel wonder winner. Not at all. I actually had no clue whatsoever what to expect in South Africa. Neither did I bother to imagine, nor did I read up prior to flying the distance. Of course, like many of you who keep abreast on world issues, I knew who is Nelson Mandela. The legendary man of history who struggle for South Africa's independence. 27 years of spending his life in prison and known as the longest serving political prisoner. Salute him till this day. What a man of the century. Besides Nelson Mandela and looking up at him from Malaysia, I was quite alien to lo and behold South Africa, until I stepped foot in Cape Town (Cape Town Part 3, Part 2 & Part 1), followed by Johannesburg & Sun City, and on this day, we embarked on Pretoria City Tour.
