Shop for New Christmas Tree

27 days to Christmas.....
in less than a month time...

A jolly season where everywhere will put up nice Christmas decoration. Before that, don't forget, Christmas season is not because of exchanging gift, Santa Claus, celebration and eat turkey, the main character is our Jesus Christ, He is the only reason for Christmas, celebrate of His birth to save us.

For many years being a Christian, I never get a chance to shop and deco a Christmas tree *sweat*. I just got an idea and proposed to management, why not get one put in the hotel lobby. My request got approved with a budget of RM300. To suit with my hotel team color, my idea was to get something like this, the ornaments in cyan or turquoise color mix with silver.
With the limited budget, the first place I thought of is Fun N'Cheer, where this is the only place can get varieties of deco items in cheaper price. Without wait for another weekend, I went to look see after my chores. I make a trip to Fun N' Cheer Balakong, this outlet is bigger with more choice.
Upon reach the entrance, plenty of beautiful Christmas deco in big, small and shiny are welcoming you. About 50 or more different types and sizes of Christmas tree ready for you to choose from, not only that colorful ornaments, lights, ribbon, chain, hats and many more.... All are so pretty, nowadays  many trees are comes with build-in lights, the light is at the leave's tip like fiber optic material.
I finally choose the one that lighted most shine. The ornaments color in turquoise, silver and red chain. Can't get more other ornaments as this is a 5 feet tree, can't have too many, I prefer a simple decoration.

Christmas tree & ornaments price:-
Tree - RM248 with 15% off (as this is the last piece)
2 x turquoise balls - RM5.90 ea (6 balls each box)
1 x silver - RM12.90 ea (mixture of balls and gift box)
2 x red chain - RM2.90 ea
TOTAL = 241.30
* yeah, within budget *

I have so much fun hanging up the ornaments and setup the tree. This kind of tree which build-in with light need to take extra good care as it is quite sensitive on the cable part. Those cable are placed  and hide right in the center of the tree body, it wrapped around with all leaves. Some leaves found not lighted up, it may caused by the cable has broken connection.

*** Ta...da... *** my first Christmas tree
Now the hotel lobby lighted up with a shining Christmas tree, can at least get some festive feel first. That's not enough yet, later will top up some other deco item at the glass door.

Kleenex® Power of Scent

Don't you agree we love those nice and fragrant smell? The smells of your favorite food, perfume, fresh flower and etc all these scents makes us feel really good.

Thanks Kleenex for the campaign package, I get to try both new scented face tissue. I put on the cherry blossom scented tissue in my car, I love the smell very much the moment I open it. It certainly brighten up my mood wherever I go, especially after those tiring day and on those moody day. I feel so much better when I have this superior softness tissue to wipes away the tears and sweat during the road journey, the infused rose essential oil or cherry blossom fragrant bring so much comfort to me. On those hot and wet days, it cleans and dries me and bring freshness to me all day long.

This is very true, research found that the sense of smell is one of the most direct ways people interact with their surroundings and fragrances can influence how people relate to something they feel. Floral scents in particular cultivate a happier, more optimistic outlook and this can have a positive effect on how people interact with others - just imagine the impact a pack of Kleenex® 3-Ply Scented Facial Tissues can have around the home and office, or carried around in a purse can make so much different in everyday's life.

17th World of Chinese Book Fair

This book fair held from 20/11-29/11/2015, free entrance at MINES 2, next to Mines shopping mall. I almost went over to MIECC as usual book fair were always there. You can park at Mines shopping mall and walk to Mines 2 using the link bridge near Mc.D. I went there today to check out books, school bags and stationery.
The crowd are quite less and majority book stalls participate are local one, they help to promote local book author's books, oversea Chinese books is very less.



Half of the hall are selling kid's books, stationery and other Chinese culture stuff. All comes with 10-20% discount. There are 5 booth selling school bag, went to check all and finally got this -
Bought the ZigZag (left) school bag, this is a brand from Univer, a normal padded bag, no back support function. He also try on brand Ababee (right) from Taiwan, design is quite similar to unMe, with back support and price much cheaper. Overall, this is a small scale of book fair, parents you can easily find your kid new schooling year's stuff here instead of hopping to different places to get books, bag, uniform, shoe and stationery.

RapidKL Train New Route

My living area is surrounded by LRT, since I can drive, I rarely used public transport and not to say for my boy, he not ever broad on any train or public bus in Malaysia. His virgin train and bus riding experience was all happen at oversea. Since the new route for Ampang line has starts operate recently, so it is a great time now to bring him to experience the homeland one.
This new route need to broad from Sri Petaling station, it will be heading towards Puchong area. The new additional 4 stations name are Awan Besar, Muhibbah, Alam Sutera and Kinrara BK5. It starts trial since 31/10/2015 and passenger can enjoy free ride for 1 month during this trial time. Since the new route open up, every time we passed by the train way above us, mine sure ask to go for a ride. So, why not since it is new and free, we finally make it on last weekend. He was jolly happy and very enjoy the scenery along the ride. His only comment was the train is a bit slow...haha, blame it on those he rides before was in speed one.

We broad our ride at Kinrara BK5 station, this station provides car parking space, where passengers are actually quite convenient to park here and take train ride down town. The free ride only applicable for new route, so we go to and fro the same route. Since it was a weekend, many parents actually bring the kiddo to try out the new train.
First we got to collect token from counter, then at the entrance touch with the token at the panel. I barely can't recall when was my last broad on LRT, back then it was Star LRT, used card system and now its with rapidKL. We have sometime to enjoy the scenery at the platform before train arrive, time waiting for the train reach is about 5-10 min. This train only servicing the first 4 new stations, after Sri Petaling station, the rest is about to ready sometimes later and it will ends at Putra Heights.
Terry enjoy very much the scenery along the way, the route also familiar to him as he recognized those buildings he saw when on the road, and now on train the view is higher and wider. To and fro time frame is about 30 mins.







Upon exit the station, just put back the token at the slot and the exit gate will open.

We also check out the self-ticketing machine. It is much better now with more function, you can reload your train card and also the machine accept notes, coins and even credit card. It was raining bucket the time we ended our ride, not to worry, the parking lot are equipped with roof walking path.

Shell Lego Fever

My first ever post in 2015! Welcome me back towards the year end. Suddenly miss my dear blog for so long never been update anything. Yes, I have been away for 11 months long..this year has been very tight up with new post at work and many things to learn, I almost feel losing myself *hopefully I won't reach that level*             
                                                  ***************************************************** 
So, lets come back to share my story of the day.

Beginning of the month, Shell petrol station came up with a series of Shell V-Power lego set up for collection. I'm very excited over the collection when first heard it over the radio ad, this is the 2nd hit of it, since the first series they have back in 2012. For brick toy, I'm prefer Lego more than Nano Block.

Shell is very nice this year, in conjunction with the launch of lego set, they are having Shell V-Power Lego collection road show from 5/11-8/11 at Sunway Pyramid. I told myself I must make it for this event. So, we went today, my boy the Lego lover of cause when crazy over the Lego model. This place was like a mini Legoland for Shell, we manage to stayed here for 2.5 hours.
The event showcase of 4 car models, full set of the collection and 2 minifigure. Lots of kids joining here, building their own Lego creation, snapping photos, photo with #readysetbuild upload to social media can redeem pop-corn and having fun win prizes over the Q&A section.



We not back empty-handed, we managed to win a race map and box of tissue during the Q&A.
With this race map, we will be exactly complete the set once we collect all back. Looks like the coming up 5 more Sunday pump petrol and collecting Shell Lego is in our the to-do-list.
