Hubby's new shop

This shop is registered using hubby's name - Wai Loon. This shop is in Lawan Kuda. It is named Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Wai Loon (Chinese name: 深深的爱歌唱中心).

* No la. It's not hubby's shop. It's a shop we saw when we went Lawan Kuda for dinner! LOL

Dinner at Lawan Kuda

It was on last Sunday, when both my in-laws and our cousin's parents were enjoying their holiday in Vietnam, hubby and I, cousin sis and his hubby, with cousin sis's in-laws and bro-in-law, went Lawan Kuda for dinner.

Hubby and I just found out that this restaurant was relocated further into the village. Last time we used to have our dinner at this restaurant, until it closed to move to other place. We were happy to be able to enjoy our dinner here again!

Give me some time

As we decided to start the business that we thought is potential, hubby asked some advices from an experienced business man (our neighbor shop's uncle). According to him, the area where we spotted to start the business is "quiet", not recommended, and it'll be better to have it at the side of a main road.

However, hubby and I still thought that our destinated area had the potential. So we will put it on hold for one or two months. After the opening shop of our cousin at the area, we would know whether it has the crowd.

Thus, business plan will be on hold for a few months just to be secured!

My own business???

Something bothering me recently. Hubby found me a business opportunity. Everybody says it's a potential business, everybody supports us in manner of mentally. I myself thought I should start-up our own business, sitting myself in hubby's shop everyday makes my everyday life dull and boring. I wish I could earn my own money, have my own business.

However when we found a suitable business to start-up, I'm kind of scared. The start-up model is an issue, we have to find our way to obtain the start-up model without yelling for help from my in-laws. I'm scared we don't have enough $$ to hold for the time when we are newly opened, yet to be known to others. I'm scared I'll lose!

Well, people always says one should try when one is still young. I knew that very well, but still it's my first time to try, not knowing the outcome, I'll be risking to lose all my money and effort!

Anyway, I bet I'll give it a try anyhow. May be I'll become a successful business women? Wish me luck!

Dim sum breakfast

*This is a super back-dated post!

On one of the past Sunday, hubby and I woke up late. We didn't want to fight with the crowd so we went to the Royal China Restaurant. This is a restaurant under Tai Thong, but with a different name only. The restaurant is very grand and elegant, thus the food there is a bit pricey! To me, it worth the price for the dim sum is delicious.

Take note that this restaurant isn't same with others, it opens by 11am on weekdays, 9am on weekends. Don't go there too early!!!

Jusco Ipoh Member Day

Just received Jusco's letter yesterday, Jusco Ipoh Member Day for this year will be held on 13th May 2010, Thursday.

For those who are really keen to get cheapies from Jusco, do visit Jusco on the night day before. Hubby and I used to go there the day before, reserved our things and go back just to pay for them on the actual day. This will save us lots of time waiting in the queue to try out the pants or dresses!!!

Remember, go Jusco on 12th May 2010 night time to reserve the things you want, just ask the sales person to reserve for you!!!

Happy shopping!!!

I'm not missing!

It has been long since I updated this blog, I'm not missing in action, I've busy updating my travel blog about my Hong Kong trip.

Nah, click to view Hong Kong trip - Day 1 / Day 2 / Day 3 / Day 4 / Day 5

I love Hong Kong

5 days 4 nights of Hong Kong trip has come to an end. On the day we arrived in Hong Kong, it was cool; while we leave Hong Kong it was getting warmer. I love Hong Kong. Everywhere is labeled with chinese words, everyone is speaking cantonese and they are very polite (except for those sellers in Lady Street).

Hong Kong's MTR is really very well built, I must give them a thumb up. Any one of the MTR stop would simply have more than 5 exits to different streets, and most of the MTR stops are underground, which means on top of the stops are streets and shops!

Every streets in Hong Kong are busy with people walking in fast pace. Some of the escalators in MTR stops are moving fast (much faster than our pace), and we were to stand on one side as some people may use the other side to walk faster up or down the escalator.

Free and easy trip to Hong Kong is no fuss at all with all the signs and map in hand!

Off to Hong Kong

Tomorrow, my FIL, MIL, hubby and me will be off to Hong Kong!

All of us are to wake up very early in the morning to catch Yoyo bus by 7.30am to LCCT (not KLIA cause we are flying Air Asia, not MAS). We will be reaching the airport 2 hours earlier. By then only we will have our proper brunch.

My FIL was buzzing all the morning, he seems to be very very excited about this trip!

We'll be back on Tuesday night, hopefully I'm energetic to put up a post on Hong Kong.

Hot!!!

It's only 33 Celsius out there, it doesn't really hot as 38 Celsius. But still I'm very very hot, I just went out with hubby, it was burning to walk under the sun! I want to migrate to somewhere cool! Can I?

Summon after 30+ years?

No. Kesalahan-SEK 46(1)(d):
Meletakkan/menyebabkan diletakkan apa-apa barang berhubung dengan trednya di tempat awam.
Butir-butir kesalahan:
Menggunakan parking untuk menjalankan perniagaan kushen di tempat awam di atas lot parking.

*$%#@&*

What do you think about Dewan Bandaraya worker whom giving out summon to your car? They'll appear from nowhere issuing you a summon when your parking coupon is overtime or when your car is parking somewhere you are not suppose to. Usually if you arrived in time (seconds before he prints out the summon), he'll let you go.

However, when it comes to business owners like us that need to park our customer's car in front of our shop, trouble comes (constantly!!!). Sometimes, we will put parking coupon; sometimes, we will open-up the car's bonnet or boot. Sometimes when those MBI man comes, my FIL will treat them "minum kopi". Mind you that there is not only one pax for one area, they are many of them! Today this comes, tomorrow another comes......

It happened yesterday that we did not put parking coupon and forgot to open the car's bonnet or boot. And "he" passed by, come down to our shop talk this say that. "He" came before and "minum kopi" not long ago, and yet "he" comes again. So my FIL asked him to issue summon if "he" wants. "He" didn't do so, but standing in front of our shop, using his hp taking photo of our shop.

Today, comes another "he" claiming that "he" gets complaint that we are doing business in the parking lot, "he" is coming to summon our shop. Hubby talked with "him", revealed that it's the "he" who came yesterday without getting what "he" wants report our shop with photo! *@&$%

We never received such a summon in the past 30+ years!!! My FIL had been doing business in this shop for 30+ years!!! No warning given before summon!!! Have you heard cannot even take or replace car seats in a parking lot??? Even if we put parking coupon also cannot??? @#&%$

Another cheating call

This morning, while I'm quite free, I received a call from a believed-to-be China cheating female whom speaks China style Mandarin (with China slang). So I decided to hear what she's going to cheat about.

China girl: Hello, Miss. May I have a few minutes doing some survey with you?
Me: Okay.
China girl: Are you currently using any Panasonic products?
Me: No.
China girl: Actually, Panasonic is planning to open 2 shops in Ipoh, and we would like to invite you to our shop.
Me: I'm not free.
China girl: No, not now. It will be later.
Me: I'm not free also.
China girl: *Getting frustrated* Why you only know how to say "I'm not free"?
Me: Ya, I only know how to say "I'm not free".
China girl: Are you rushing to DIE???
Me: Ya, I'm really not free, in a rush to DIE!!!
*Hang up* Do..do..do.......

I've finally getting into their nerves. LOL.

Think carefully, we'll realize. Panasonic will not sent somebody speaking China Mandarin to do survey. They already well-known, there isn't a need to promote like that. These China females tactics already widely-known, I wonder why they still doing so? Do they think we, Malaysian, are still that innocent, easily to be cheated???

A sunny Saturday morning

It's again Saturday. This Saturday morning appears to be sunny, the sun is showing its shinny face. However I'm not showing my shinny face, I'm gloomy!

I have had a terrible sleep yesterday night. I woke up by 2.30am to the toilet, then back to bed, twisting and turning all the way till this morning. I'm now extremely tired and sleepy plus light headed.

Oh my, my sis in-law and his hubby are going to Macau tonight and they are going to sent their kid, Marcus to our house until they come back from Macau. We need quite a lot of energy to help taking care of Marcus, although he always behave well but he's still a child, we need to talk a lot with him. I must take a nap later, recharge before Marcus arrive! LOL

In additional of Marcus's arrival, hubby and I have a postpone-meet-up with hubby's cousin tonight. It should be late when we finally reach home. I wonder if I could stand the sleepiness tonight!

Time: 8:30pm - 9:30pm
Location: Around the world.

Are you participating? I wish I could! I personally would like to participate but I'm sure my FIL wouldn't allow me to do so. "What if the theft broke into our house in the dark???" *Sigh*

Earth Hour is symbolic event where people around the world are encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour to show support for action on climate change. Millions of people around the globe turning off our lights together demonstrates that individual efforts, when taken together, add up make a big difference and can be as easy as a flick of a switch.

Earth Hour is a WWF event and it began in Sydney, Australia in 2007. It was such a huge success that in 2008, WWF decided to make Earth Hour a global event and its been growing ever since.

In 2008, millions of people in hundreds of cities in more than 30 countries turned off their lights for Earth Hour. In 2009, more than 4,000 cities in 88 countries participated!
