Moxy Hotel, Putrajaya

Our second time staying at this wonderful hotel, and this time we're on the 17th floor.

I also managed to take a quick dip in the pool this time. It’s a small saltwater pool, nothing too special, but it was a nice to have a good swim after indulging in so much good food. 

As always, our stay has been pleasant. We are delighted with the service and cleanliness here.

See our previous stay here in July 2024.

Durian Udang Merah

 Durian Udang Merah RM50 untuk 3 biji.  Murah kan? 

Bagi saya memang murah sangat dah, sedap pulak tu.  isi nya kuning oren, manis. Puan kedai tu siap tolong pilih kan yang elok untuk kami, baik betul.  Ni kat area Banting, agak jauh la dari KL, tapi sangat berbaloi.

Puan kedai tu cakap durian ni dari Johor, kalau kat Johor berapa lah agak nya harga durian ni kan.

Moxy Hotel, Putrajaya

This hotel is conveniently located at IOI Mall, Putrajaya, making shopping incredibly easy.

Beyond the mall, what I love most about this hotel is the vibrant atmosphere, especially in the lobby. There are numerous fun activities, including a pool table, foosball table, congkak, chess, game box, and live performances at night.

There is also plenty of seating. The check-in counter is connected to the bar, so you can order beverages while relaxing in the lobby. The check-in staff wear uniform sweaters, which look fun and less formal.

The room was great too, though the only drawback was the stiff bed.

I’m sure we’ll be back here again soon.

Nasi Lemak Bumbung, PJ

During my outstation in KL 2 months ago, I had the rare pleasure of catching up with my uni roommate. She and her husband introduced me to this famous hidden mamak place, Nasi Lemak Bumbung in Petaling Jaya.

We arrived around 10:30 pm, and the narrow lanes were bustling with people coming to enjoy the food here.  I love the hidden eatery such as this. It was a delightful experience, reminiscent of my university days when we were young and energetic, we used to go out for late-night supper after our night study sessions. 

Now, in our quiet life in Kuching, my loyal fluffy pillow has become my companion by 10 pm. Oh, how times have changed!

Here’s the nasi lemak ayam berempah at I ordered, the ayam is tasty and tender inside.  The sambal is not too spicy, thank goodness coz I can't really enjoy too much spiciness.  Other than nasi lemak, we had sticky rice mango, the ais laici, maggi goreng, and satay.  Didn't take any of the other photos, was busy catching up with friends.

Thank you, Viv for your precious time.

Hilton Garden Inn, Puchong

I spent 5 days and 4 nights at the Hilton Garden Inn, Puchong earlier this month. 

Everything about the hotel was excellent - clean room, fast check-in process, and yummy breakfast. However, the only downside was its location. Despite being supposed to be connected to a mall, the mall was virtually empty.

My room was on the 16th floor, Room No. 1621. 

The view from my room was facing the housing area.  Can you see the LRT Puchong Perdana Station, with the white roof in the middle?

My daily breakfast.

And on the morning of my last day there, I had a good swim in the pool on a rainy day.  It was so calming, with no one else sharing the pool.

Will I be staying at this hotel again? For personal trips - no, but for business trips, why not, when you only need a good place to sleep.

Air Supply Live in Genting

I have been a fan of Air Supply since I was young, all thanks to my sister who introduced me to their music through a cassette album. I remember being captivated by their hit song "Making Love Out of Nothing At All." However, as I listened to more of their songs, "Two Less Lonely People" became my all-time favorite. The lyrics and melody of this song always bring tears to my eyes and I can't help but feel emotional whenever I hear it.

Finally, last December, I got the chance to see Air Supply live in the Arena of Stars, Genting. The news of the concert came to me through a friend who heard it on Lite FM in October 2022. I didn't waste any time and bought the tickets on the same day. I opted for the 2nd tier seats, as I prefer to sit at a higher level than the stage.

The "Air Supply 47 years lost in love" concert was a full house, luckily I got my tickets early.  On the day, the concert started at 6am sharp, and Malaysian being Malaysian, late comers, some of them walked in at 6:30pm, what a waste.  The show started at 5.58am, 6pm sharp Russell & Russell sang their 1st song.

This was my first-ever concert, not counting the Rainforest World Music Festival, and I really enjoyed myself. I sang my heart out to most of their songs, except for one, their new song.

I am so glad that I got the chance to see their concert and I even had to plead with my CEO for a one-day leave.

Now, I am eagerly waiting for my next concert experience and I am hoping to see Sheila On 7 soon.

My spending:
Concert tix: RM390 each
Skyway tix: RM80 for 4 pax for 2-way
Car rental: RM500+ for 3 days
Hotels: RM800+ for 2 nights
Flights tix: RM1k+ per person for 2-way

Sunway Pyramid Hotel

This is my 2nd time staying in this hotel. The 1st time was many years ago.  The room and the bathroom look a bit old now.  The bathroom needs a bit of deep cleaning and my colleague’s room faces the inside of the building, due to these minor reasons, we were so glad we chose Clio Hotel for our family holiday in June this year.

My room on the 6th floor, 06149

The bathroom

Breakfast at Sunway Resort Hotel, just next door.  Lots of choices.

KL-Ipoh trip 2022 | Sunway City

Documenting our family holiday in KL and Ipoh last June 2022.

For this trip, we rented a car from the airport.  The plan was to avoid people (on public transport) since we were just out of our MCO.

Day 1, we overnight at Clio Hotel Sunway City.

Our 1st meal, Xiao Long Bao from Din Tai Fung.

For dinner, we had ribs, burger and pasta at TGIF.  Was planning to have dinner at Chillis but the queue was too long.

Then we watched midnight movie / Top Gun Maverick.  We back went to our after 1am tgat night.

On the next next morning we went for a swim, and then Emmett wanted to try ice skating.

While Emmett and daddywent skating, Eugene and Mummy went to try Taco Bell while looking over at the Sunway Lagoon.

After skating, we went to buy drinks at Black Whale.

We had our late lunch at Menya Miyaki Hokkaido Ramen.

Grand Millennium Hotel Kuala Lumpur

I stayed in the Grand Millennium Hotel Kuala Lumpur last month during my official trip.  The hotel is located right next to Pavillion Bukit Bintang.

We were attending a function in Pavilion that night, so this is the nearest hotel to Pavilion entrance.

When we reach there around 1pm, our room were not ready yet, so we were invited to wait at the club floor in the 18th floor.

Nice view from the 18th floor.

The hotel lobby.

Our roomin the 17th floor.

It was raining on the next morning.

Breakfast is served at The Mill Cafe.

One World Hotel, One Utama

From Ipoh we went back to Selangor and stayed at One World Hotel, One Utama.

2 main reasons why we chose this hotel:

1. One Utama area is somewhere we seldom go, I think 1 only been to this area twice before.

2. There's an MRT station next to the One Utama mall.  We wanted to ride on the MRT as we have never been on it before.

We had a pleasant stay here, the room is big and clean, connecting to the mall, easy assess to parking spaces.

Our room on the 3rd floor.

We can see the swimming pool from our room, but due to our limited time, we don't have time for a swim.

Breakfast was great too.

Would love to be back here soon, as I did not manage to explore all of One Utama mall, it was so big and confusing.

Sunway Clio Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Last month, we went for our 1st family holiday outside of Sarawak since Covid19.

For our 1st night, we stayed at Sunway Clio Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

The reason why we chose this hotel was that it's new*, we never stayed here before, and conveniently link to the Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. A few years back we stayed at the Tower Hotel, now known as the Sunway Pyramid Hotel, so this time we wanted to try the Clio Hotel.

*This hotel opens in Feb 2016, considered new to us, that's how long we have not been to Sunway.

We’re glad that we did, good size room, nice view, clean room. No complaints from us.

The lobby.

Our room on the 20th floor.

The washroom.

Great view from our room, and a nice pool on the 8th floor too.

Plenty of parking, which is also accessible from the Mall, with a minimal fee of RM15 per day.
