South India - Bangalore/Bengaluru (Nava K Explored)

Finally! Oh My God! Must be the blessings showered upon me from afar, from the gods in South India. After years of faulty failures to planning and literally coaxing my other half-half for years as well. Hah! In the end, I gave a damn to every damn thing aside. Let alone this man I have been married to for donkeys years who wouldn't move his butt in accompanying me for a trip to South India. His reason. Mmmm! Plain simple and nothing new. Work commitment. Nevermind I told myself and instead of still keeping my fingers crossed, hoping things will change on my home front, I gave up. I went ahead by joining a tour. Tour of 8 people and mind you, except for knowing one person, the one who organised this tour, the rest unknown. Like it mattered to me anyway? Like you are friends needy for travelling and me, already crowned as a solo-traveller.

Sekinchan (Selangor) 1 Day Trip - Part 2

What else (Sekinchan Part 1)? What else must or should be considered as part and parcel of our sightseeing in Sekinchan? Okay. Lemme start. Ah Ma House, which by the way, wasn't like a major thing for us, thereafter, we heading to Paddy Processing Factory & Gallery. Just a short drive by the way. Within a distance of 3 or most to most 4 minutes. Anyway, Sekinchan, for your information, is a small town and most, in fact, all the sightseeing spots are located within a short distance. Plus, let me tell you ahead that sightseeing in Sekinchan can be completed within, a day or even lesser. Unless, of course, you want to remain in Sekinchan for another day or two? For reasons best known to you? Go ahead. Your time, you decide.

33 Blue Room - Section 51a, Zone Perindustrian PJCT (Petaling Jaya)

33 Blue Room. In an area I pass by every now and then. In fact, quite often actually and trust me, not in my slightest moment I knew, neither have I noticed 33 Blue Room. Not until on this particular Wednesday for friendship bonding with my two friends who have prior reserved a table. Oh yes please. Reserve your table. Unless otherwise. You don't mind waiting in line and parking, may be somewhat troubling if you want to park right in front, but if your legs are willing, sure, park along the road side. 33 Blue Room. Wah! Honest to goodness, the moment I walked in. An ultimate admirable ambiance. As though I am in a magic haven. My-my! After all, its been sometime since I have dined in such a restaurant. Me and my quiet life? Of course, when the need warrants for, especially, for meaningful, sincere, down to earth, and not those, crappy, fake, social media showing needy friendship, you can count on me.

Sekinchan (Selangor) 1 Day Trip - Part 1

Sekinchan. I was told that Sekinchan located in Sabak Bernam, Selangor is a must do. Yes. Must do (Cameron Highlands Pahang). Do or die kinda, I shouldn't miss out on exploring Sekinchan (Alor Setar Revisited). Told by who by the way? Well. Those who have already, obviously explored Sekinchan and Sekinchan, obviously too, for your information, already profoundly known in the virtual world (Frasers Hill Pahang). What else was I told about Sekinchan? I was told that the primarily or central attraction in Sekinchan must be none other than the paddy fields. Paddy fields, especially when they are at their green-green or full blown yellow lush. Also, just before or right before harvesting. Honestly, to tell you the truth, I have been planning for a trip to Sekinchan for almost a year, but been put on hold due to the weather. Weather either unbearably burn-baby-burn hot or rainy season lashing merciless. Finally, somehow, taking into considering that weather can be tolerated, though still the hot season, me tripping to Sekinchan and prior to arriving in Sekinchan, we stopping by in Restoran Suang Le River (Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor) for lunch. 

Alor Setar Revisited (Nava K Tripping)

Alor Setar. Yes. Nava K returned to Alor Setar again. Alor Setar. The state capital of Kedah and the second largest city after Sungei Petani. By the way, any particular reason why we made this trip to Alor Setar? Nothing really. Except maybe, instead of returning home after being in Penang, we thought it will be a great idea to catch up with our Alor Setar friends we have not seen for some time and also, some free, easy time for ourselves. Of course, ultimately, when friendship is a concern for us Malaysians? I'm sure you must be agreeing. We Malaysians no matter what, must bond friendship over food. Precisely. We arriving in Alor Setar by noon and alongside our friends, 5 of them, plus obviously at their recommendation, lunching in Numeral Eight Curry House. 

The Barn Wine Bar Sunway Pyramid

 

Up and down, back and forth, to and fro, until our legs almost, literally like falling apart, plus hunger too biting killing us non-stop on this particular Saturday afternoon. Not to say there are no choices to eateries in Sunway Pyramid, but most of them, especially, those like fast food outlets, packed back to back, and we definitely weren't interested in waiting in line. What about the rest of the eateries? I have, believe me, to a certain extent, tested and tried out (Ten Years, NY Steak Shack & Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul). Maybe, not the whole lot of it, but pretty much even before I started this space of mine. Well, what can you expect. Sunway Pyramid is where you will see me picking up the stuffs I need if not regularly, at least every now and then.

Garden of Eden Gentle Milk Cleanser

Expensive does not mean better, affordable does not mean interior (Nivea Body Lotions & Mentholatum Lip Ice Sheer). I think, if I am not mistaken, I have told you before? About this beauty skin care products theory before? Indeed. Most probably I have. Look, skin care products not necessary must be exclusively expensive. What is important actually should be what suits your skin. Also, remember, the other beauty theory of mind? Budget. Basically, what we can afford instead of blindly being convinced that we can only maintain or improvise our skin by expensive products (Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Milk). Let alone, let's not forget that we pay a lot more for imported products due to exchange rate. Of course, subjective to which country the products are from and compared to our Made In Malaysia products (Safi Rania Gold Youthful Sheet Mask). Take this Made In Malaysia Garden of Eden Gentle as a profound example (Garden of Eden Rosa E Pigmentation Serum). RM21.70 and picked up from Caring Pharmacy, Gamude Walk, Kota Kemuning. Honestly everyone, I swear. I swear that this white, creamy and rather thick in texture milk cleanser, packaged in a basic plastic chubby tube, with a pull up, push down cap/cover, has been a cleansing wonder for my dehydrated sensitive skin. Furthermore, when its a cleanser made from natural ingredients.
