Calanthe Art Cafe @ Jonker Street, Malacca

I have a short trip to Malacca to visit my parents and my cousin-in-law's new born baby during weekends. I have also never forget to visit my cousin-in-law's Calanthe Art Cafe. In fact, Calanthe Art Cafe has already become my family hang-out place each time we visit Malacca. One of the uniqueness of this cafe is that it serves THE FIRST AND ONLY ONE Malaysia's 13 states coffee with 13 different tastes. What I am impressed the most with is not the coffee but my cousin-in-law's fantastic idea and interesting journey travelling to the whole malaysia to consolidate the genuine coffee from 13 states in his cafe for the local and tourists. For food-wise, I still like his own-creation Laksa! One of the best in town!






















One of my family favourite combinations - Cheese cake, Laksa and Cendol.
Hmmm...So yummy...........!

Go for new 3rd Generation Toyota Vios 1.5G

Initially, i would like to get a second hand Toyota Vios (2nd generation). But after much consideration, I finally go for new 3rd generation Toyota Vios 1.5G due to lower interest rate (2.39%) and much more spacious. The passenger cabin is 120mm more spacious and the storage area in the back is 19% more spacious then the predecessor.

命運不是命運,命運是機會;是給生命一次改變的機會

Inspired by the Emil Chow's chinese speech delivered in AIFM radio station...



你覺得自己命運坎坷,或是正陷入厄運當中嗎?相信我,那不是什麼厄運,而是你要轉運了。

遇到不好的事人們總習慣說那是命運;遇到好事就說是幸運、是好運。所以到處都有人想改命或改運,好像命運注定就不是好的。命運果真都是壞的?

當然不是。那是一直以來人們的誤解。事實上,正好相反,命運其實都是好的,即使你覺得自己運不順、命不好,但命運對你來說仍是好的。

命運的道理也是一樣,如果你不了解的話,那麼所有的遭遇對你來說將是一個阻力;但是如果你懂得利用它,它就會成為你的助力。要將命運變成一個機會或是阻礙,那完全依你而定。

記住這句話,「命運不是命運,命運是機會;是給生命一次改變的機會。」

Malaysia's Niu Ze Xui (NZX) @ Ara Damansara

I've been wanted to visit Niu Ze Xui (NZX) @ Ara Damansara 2 weeks ago. Today at last, I brought my family to this covered boulevard which claimed to be the largest in Malaysia. When i reached there, I was very surprise that I have no problem in getting free car park as there were still many empty car parks available. The moment i walked in, I could see many stalls selling youngsters stuffs like handbags, accessories, handphones, clothes, toys, CDs/DVDs, etc. This place also have F & B outlets like Starbucks and Big Apple Donuts & Coffee and I am quite impressed with the setup. The only drawback is that it did not have much people visiting and was very quiet. There are many shops still not open yet. I think this place seriously need to open up more shops and organise more interesting activities to attract more investors and visitors.

Iverson had diarrhoea for 3 days

Iverson had diarrhoea for 3 days and we worried that the diarrhoea would cause dehydration. We send him to Dr Foo yesterday evening for checkup and the doctor confirmed that Iverson was not dehydrated. We did ask the Dr Foo about any approach to stop the diarrhoea and doctor replied us that he is not going to use medicines to stop diarrhoea in young children. But, he recommended us to use the lactose-free formula milk at this period of time to help Iverson recover fully from diarrhoea before switching back to his usually formula milk. Iverson was also given the probiotic to treat and prevent diarrhoea.

What is probiotic? Probiotics are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are also called "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria." Probiotics are available in foods and dietary supplements (for example, capsules, tablets, and powders) and in some other forms as well. Examples of foods containing probiotics are yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, tempeh, and some juices and soy beverages.

Dr Foo has also confirmed that Iverson has recoverred fully from acute bronchiolitis as the wheezing sound has gone. Congrats Iverson!
