Space Mission to the Planetarium Negara Kuala Lumpur

The last time I visited Planetarium Negara (National Planetarium), Kuala Lumpur was back in 2010 when I brought my niece and nephews. After 9 years, finally I'm back, with my two busy bees!

There's not much change in the Kuala Lumpur Planetarium beside the new (not sure how new) Space Pod. I remember I played a virtual football at the main space there.

Planetarium Negara Kuala Lumpur is located at Jalan Perdana, near the other Kuala Lumpur attractions like Masjid Negara, Lake Garden, KL Bird Park and Muzium Negara.

Fasting Skin Re-water Vital Therapy at Roszen Beauty, MyTown KL

Most knows that I am not the kind of woman who really cares about skin care. Plus, being a mother, I always find it hard to spend extra time going through the skincare products. I wonder how some able to sit in front of their mirror and do so. I would hear my kids screaming Mummmyyyy Mummmyyyy non-stop. But yes, once in a while, I do realize that I have been neglecting my skin and it looks so bad for my age. So I decided to give my skin a treatment it deserves.

When I was in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate Bilal's birthday recently, I visited a spa in MyTown Kuala Lumpur, Cheras, the Roszen Beauty.

Roszen Beauty is a one-stop concept beauty salon that strives to enhance people's confidence by providing comprehensive skin care solutions. Roszen offers a wide range of professional treatments. Roszen Beauty Spa is very relaxing and comfortable.

Mini Karnival Al Haq in cooperation with Kindness Malaysia

We went to Mini Karnival al Haq on Malaysia Day, 16 September 2019 at Rumah Al Haq, Dato' Keramat Kuala Lumpur. The Mini Karnival Al Haq was held to get funding to cover the costs of their operations and other expenses in order to keep the residents safe and comfortable there.

There were many interesting activities that was organized besides selling of food and things, including Nerf Games, sand art, bayblades, face painting and many more.

The mini carnival was also attended by many other children from other shelter homes around Kuala Lumpur.

Birthday Party with KFC Chicky & Friends at AEON Big Ampang

We actually didn't plan big for Bilal's second birthday party. All we had in mind was to buy a cake and some food and hang out with family at home. But my mom got another idea and she wanted to throw her grandson a birthday party at any fast food restaurant instead. After giving some thoughts and had some discussions, we said okay to Nenek. So we had Bilal's 2nd birthday party at KFC Aeon Big Ampang the day after his actual birthday (because of the availability of the slot). 

We choose KFC as our party place as it is obviously everyone's favorite fast food restaurant. KFC Aeon Big Ampang is the nearest KFC store from our place which have the birthday party service. Plus point that the party area is spacious and is separated from the main KFC dining area.

DIY Kids Art & Craft at Craftomon's, MyTown Kuala Lumpur

Craftomon's by Open Playschool is a children activity store in MyTown shopping mall, Kuala Lumpur. The Craftomon's store is located at Level 1, in front of the escalator near link bridge to IKEA.

We stumbled upon this store while we were there and Balqis requested to do some painting. There are a lot of art and craft activities to do there.  Some of the DIY arts and craft things that you may purchase to bring home, or do it there at the store are key-chain, fridge magnet, coin banks, photo frames and many more.

Of course we like this store. Even though both of us are from science background, we always encourage Balqis to do arts & crafts. And she herself likes to do all those painting, cutting, doodling.

Visit to Pusat Sains Negara, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

Last Sunday, we went to Pusat Sains Negara or the National Science Centre, which is located at Bukit Kiara. The entrance fee for the centre is quite affordable, i.e RM 6 for adults, RM 3 for children (7 - 12 years old and senior citizen) and free for kids below 6 years old.

Going into the indoor galleries, you'll first walk under the Freshwater Fish Aquarium. The aquarium is the main entrance to the indoor galleries.

Visit to KL Tower Mini Zoo

The KL Tower Mini Zoo is located just before the entrance to the KL Tower. The concept is similar to Farm in The City in Seri Kembangan. I think it is managed by the same company/group. Some of the animals in the zoo are birds, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, rabbits, monkeys, foxes, raccoons, tortoises and alpacas. 

Balqis loved the alpaca so much that she keeps on telling us about how she touched the alpaca till today.

Dugaan di bulan Ramadhan

Semalam pagi-pagi masuk ofis terus siap2 kene pegi Kuala Pilah, ada pegawai KPT nak visit Clinical School sana so bos suruh ikut dia pegi. Agak teruja sebab dah lama tak pergi Kuala Pilah, sejak meninggalkan KMNS dalam 2004. Semua org duk cakap dah tak lalu Bukit Putus, so dah tak pening-pening.

Habis lawatan dan mesyuarat dalam pukul 11 lebih terus berangkat pulang ke Bukit Jalil. Dalam perjalanan tu sempat lagi singgah beli makanan-makanan dan buah di kedai di tepi jalan Kuala Pilah. Macam la pergi melawat melancong ke mana-mana nak beli macam2 untuk bawak balik ke rumah kan.

Kerosakan Bahasa Malaysia oleh warga asing

Walaupun kebanyakan dari tulisan dalam blog ini ditulis menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris, ketahuilah wahai pembaca bahawasanya saya masih menghormati Bahasa Malaysia.

Cuma bila tulis Bahasa Malaysia, jadi macam ni lah. Agak kaku. Dan kalau guna Bahasa Malaysia yang terlalu pasar, nanti rasa tak hormat bahasa kebangsaan pun timbul. Mungkin kalau sikit-sikit okay lah lagi, kan. Nak bahasakan diri saya ke, aku ke, pun jadi masalah. I have to admit, it is much easier when writing in English. I can use the word 'I' and won't feel weird at all. Nampak tak perbezaan ayat-ayat yang nampak kaku dan sedikit easy-going bila guna Bahasa Inggeris tadi?

Hari Sabtu lepas, saya pun pergilah berjalan ke Chow Kit yang tidak dinafikan memang penuh dengan warga asing - Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar dan lain-lain lagi. Tak kurang juga makcik-makcik yang bertudung merah ramai-ramai duduk depan Hotel Cititel Express, yang bersebelahan dengan Batu Road lama tu. Pelik jugak tengok ramai sangat makcik-makcik pakai tudung sedondon duduk bersila kat depan hotel macam tu. Rupanya.. makcik-makcik berkenaan adalah makcik-makcik dari Terengganu yang datang untuk perhimpunan 66 tahun UMNO di Bukit Jalil. Banyak bas-bas sekolah dan ekspres beratur di depan hotel tu.

Berbalik kepada perkara dalam pendahuluan tadi, semakin ramai warga asing, semakin banyak lah juga mereka yang cuba mencari peluang pekerjaan dan peluang perniagaan di kedai baju, kedai runcit, stesyen minyak dan kedai makanan. Yang tak enaknya ialah apabila mereka cuba memasarkan perniagaan kepada warga tempatan dengan menulis dalam Bahasa Malaysia (agaknya lah) tanpa memeriksa dengan warga tempatan sendiri ejaan dan ayat yang digunakan.

Sedih, kan?

Bad experience with Sajian Enak, Kenanga Wholesale City

I don't normally blog about any shop that I went and had bad experience with. But I really really want to blog about this particular restaurant that I had a very very bad service I've ever received.

Went to Kenanga Wholesale City with mum, cousin, aunty and niece last Saturday. Was very hungry and looked for a place to eat. We saw this one Malay restaurant, Sajian Enak, located at floor 3A. They had promotions such as Nasi Minyak dengan Dalca Daging and Nasi Kerabu. Mum felt like eating Nasi kerabu so we decided to have our lunch there.

And let me tell you our experience there.

Yunalis Zarai gave me goosebumps!

I am not a good reviewer. I don't write well-written review on anything - music, theater, movie, book, travel places. I know I didn't even write nice review on Nokia N8 for the Maxis10 programme. But anyhow, I still want to write something about the show I went to last Tuesday. It was the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas Spotlight - Yuna show.

When B first asked me to join her watching Yuna, I wasn't really excited about it. Guess I'm more to a theater person than a concert person, except Hindi concerts cause they are more like musicals. :P But I said yes anyway and bought us the tickets. Her original show was planned only for 12 September but tickets were sold out fast and they decided to make an additional show on 13 September, and we got our tickets for the second day.

Village in the city for Aidilfitri

Most of the shopping malls had started to decorate their mall especially the lobby area to bring the raya mood to their customers in accordance to the coming hari raya Aidilfitri. Well, logically when the mood is there, the more they will spend on raya stuff, right. So I went to three different shopping malls in Bukit Bintang area last Saturday and found that all three have similar theme for hari raya decorations in the main lobby area – the Malay village.

Bukit Bintang Plaza

Tiang atau lembaga?

Setelah pesta itu tamat, saya pun balik. Jam menunjukkan pukul 11 malam. Jalan ke rumah saya itu lengang dan semak pula. Tiba-tiba saya ternampak tiang yang tinggi dan besar di tepi jalan dengan banyaknya. Saya merasa hairan, bila orang kampung memacak tiang yang sebegitu besar ini.

Lebih 20 tiang saya lihat, saya ternampak satu tiang yang lebih besar dan tinggi dari yang lain. Warnanya juga berwarna lain dari yang lain. Saya mendongak. Alangkah terkejutnya saya apabila melihat tiang itubermata, hidung dan yang mengerikan lagi ialah taring dan kukunya yang begitu tajam dan panjang. Rupanya ia satu lembaga.

Pesta Chow Kit Kita Fasa 2

"Di tengah bandaraya orang merata rata
Dari segala bangsa tua atau muda
Ada yang berkereta ada yang jalan saja
Ada yang cuci mata ha ha ha ha ha ha"

For a true KLites, that famous song by Allahyarham Sudirman had always stuck in my head since like forever. Chow Kit, generally, was one of the place where I used to spend my time at. Grocery shopping at Gedung Harian or Batu Road Supermarket, early Sunday morning at Pasar Chow Kit, lunch at the food stalls near "Bangunan UMNO lama", buying bakery stuff at Bake With Yen, Lorong Haji Taib and other places.

Chow Kit (including Chow Kit Road, Jln TAR, Jln Raja Laut) had always be me and mum's place to go even until today when no other KLites are going there anymore with the reason of too many unwelcomed 'foreigner' there. With so much interest and love towards Chow Kit Road, I am so happy to know that KL teenages get together with lots of volunteer and the KL Krash Pad to held the Pesta Chow Kit Kita.

Have you heard about the festival?
