Permaisuri Imperial New Wing Hotel, Miri

In March 2023, I had a pleasant 2D1N stay at the Permaisuri Imperial New Wing Hotel in Miri. The room was clean, and the bathroom was spacious and equipped with a bathtub, breakfast was good too.


My room on the 6th floor.

The lobby area, please note that the lobby is not on the ground floor, you would have to take the lift to get to the lobby.

View from the lobby. Facing the Wireless walk.

Breakfast at the hotel. Nasi lemak pandan with lamb curry was good.

My monthly spending

Random ramblings.

We can hear people commenting everywhere about how expensive things are now. Normal vegetables, canned food, and school stuff are all getting more pricey.

Over the weekend, we when to shop for school pants, they cost RM69.90 each. What?!  I don’t remember if the price was that high last year.

Tak jadi beli seluar, beli baju je RM37.90

People like me having fixed incomes are feeling the price heat, what more to say those without fixed incomes.

Here's what my monthly spending looks like, I am keeping this for my own record, It is good to have something to look back to.  Now my blog has become a place to recall what my life was like 5-10 years ago.

This spending does not include housing loans, car loans, and allowances for parents.

Hair salon: RM38 x 5 = RM190

Internet and phone bill: RM330

Petrol: RM45 x 5 = RM225

Fruits: RM50 x 4 = RM200

Cleaning service: RM60 x 3 = RM180

Spa: RM450 (I bought a package so the price is lower)

I should stop, I realise most of what I have written down are all unnecessary spending. Now I know where I can cut down my expenses if the time comes.

Time to relook at my spending.

Hicon Ice Maker Machine

In September 2021, we bought our first ice maker machine, but unfortunately, about 3 weeks ago, it broke.  The on/off button stopped working.  So, we purchased another one. This time, we opted for a cheaper version, there was no point investing in a tough aluminum body when the buttons were not long-lasting.
Hubby suggested we should get a deep freezer instead, as it would have more functionality. But whose going to make the ice? Plus, we didn't have enough space for a new freezer in our small kitchen.
Therefore, we just stick with the ice maker for now. If this one broke again, we might consider purchasing a deep freezer in the future.
So here's to our new ice maker, we can enjoy unlimited ice-cold drinks once again.
