Looking for a musical instrument is not as difficult as previous anymore. With all the online shop such as https://www.guitarcenter.com/, you can go to the website and search for the instrument you need, at the same time, read the review from users who have bought it and compare with others. It’s very useful to read the reviews before making the decision on buying it or not. At least, you will know what are the pros and cons up front.

From April to June, Sushi King is having the Curry theme food, including sushi, rice, and udon. I managed to tried 4 types of the Curry Sushi, there are Curryfornia Roll, Curry Ebi Fry Nigiri, Aburi Curry Tamago and Curry Tori Katsu Gunkan.

Personally I prefer the Curry Ebi Fry Nigiri and Curry Tori Katsu Gunkan. The fry Ebi and Tori Katsu are crispy and good. If you are heading to Sushi King, you can try out these new curry items.

Ordered the Belacan Fried Rice the other day during lunch. They don’t have the mango slices and replace it with pineapple instead.

I still prefer the Belacan Fried Rice with the mango slices rather than the pineapple. It’s not match, making it not that nice. Furthermore, the pineapple is a bit sour.

This is the first time I tried CK Claypot Chicken Rice at Sunshine Market. I got shocked when get to know the price is at RM6.20.

For a RM6.20, I will expect a nice one. However, it is only average. The one from Jalan Tengah is much better and sells at only RM5! This will be the first and the last time.

If you are a guitarist, you should know what is a soundhole pickup. To others, I think you will be like me, no idea what is that. The lr baggs m1 soundhole pickup will actually gives you the natural voice of your guitar to life on stage. If you want to install it yourself, it’s pretty easy now. You can get it done by following the Youtube video online.

I was looking at the Yoga mat the other day. I found this in Jusco, 2 for RM50. It is cheap! However, I never buy it as I don’t like the texture.

I got myself the Reebok Yoga Mat in the end, from the Royal Sporting House. I like the texture and hope it will last longer than my previous one.

This is a non-religious and a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of orphans, neglected children, dysfunctional families and single parents. The home was built and officially launched on 14th December 2008 by Madam Chan Siew Har. PSCH’s mission is to maximize the attractive opportunities that are stored in the children; to make something happen; to change the ways that things are and to create something that no one else has ever created before for the children, to explore for opportunities; to provide guidance and course correction; maintaining focus on being consistent and persistent. The objectives are both short and on a long term basis. The short term objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive environment. The focus will be on the development of physical, mental, emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that will create awareness to structure and mould the child’s future. The longer term development includes the options that are available for the child’s future, supporting them to complete the tertiary education preferably to University level. For those who are unable to complete the basic education, they would be trained in developing their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that eventually the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming the backbone of the family.

The Children’s Protection Society (CPS) began as an initiative of Dato’ Nazir Ariff when he was President of the Rotary Club in Penang (1991). It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of neglected and/or abandoned children in Penang. It was officially launched in April 1992 by Puan Sri Chua Kah Peng. The objectives of CPS are both immediate and longer-term. The immediate objective is to provide children at risk with a safe, supportive and conducive environment (Shelter). Their concerned and focused areas include the emotional and physical development, education, social and recreational skills. At the same time, CPS aims to work with parents and other family members, so that the child can eventually be reunited with his/her family. In the pipeline, they hope to support projects to enhance community-based facilities for childcare and development in areas where such facilities are lacking. They also try to promote a more general awareness of the issues relating to children at risk by being involved in training and discussions. Hence they work together with various government and non-government organizations to help to develop longer-term strategies and goals.

Shopping mall starts to sell lantern. It is only 2 weeks away for the Mooncake Festival. Since angry birds are still popular, for sure the lantern maker company will not miss this opportunity to earn more money during the festive season. These are the one need to put a candle on. If the kids not holding the lantern properly, it will get burnt.

However, for the one below, it is using the light bulb instead of the candle. It is made for the smaller kids.

Both types are cute, don’t you think so?

I got a postcard from my sister weeks ago. When I saw the condition of the postcard, I am quite angry about it. The top right corner has been tear off!!!

See! If you are the one who got the postcard in this condition, will you angry as well? Luckily, my sister did scan the postcard before she posted to me. At least, I have a full picture on the postcard. 🙂

Taking course online is not a new thing anymore. There are many people who don’t have much time to go to the class will prefer taking the course online. It is more convenient to them since they can plan their own time for the study. If you want to get your self an IT degree, try to search from the Internet on
online it degree. There will be a lot of Universities across the world which provides this. You just need to be more patient on the searching and get the one that suits you more. Try to read more reviews and make the comparison among the online it degree that they are offering.

Remember the succulent that I bought and posted in previous post? Sigh…. It is dying…..

Maybe the weather here is not suitable for this plant. Or maybe we never take good care of it. Poor thing. 🙁
