Christmas @ Sunway Pyramid

Sunway Pyramid 

This year it is cute fluffy Christmas decoration here. Different but I think it is attractive. 

The fluffy green Christmas tree in the middle, when I stood at the foot and looked up, reminded me of the BEANSTALK!!!

Jo snd her Beanstalk!!!!!

 

SSFHOME Garden Outlet @ Glenmarie

I was only yesterday years old baru I knew that SSF has a HQ in Shah Alam. Adoiiiii. So ignorant.

Saw people posted in TT and after wah wah wah-ing, we went to explore lah. 

Wahhhh the entrance was so grand. Macam enter White House. Its warehouse is at the back, also very neatly arranged and nice to walk around. Outside, there’s a huge clearance sale for furniture. 

Cute or not?!?!

Kapten Batik Warehouse Sale

3 - 7 December 2025

KLCC 

This was the craziest warehouse sale we have been to. As we love batik, we went just to look see. Kapten Batik has boutiques everywhere and their prices are pretty expensive but their quality is good. 

The crowd was horrendous on a working day. There was a line at the entrance and a line at the pay counters. Surprising thing was many foreigners and corporate people were there shopping, in bundles and bags!!! WOW!

Hehe we were in one of Kapten Batik’s video clips! This was the first day but OMAIGADDDD it was already crazy. You should check out their updated video clips in FB, the place has become just like a bundle warehouse!!!!!! At least my photos still showed that the shirts were still nearly folded LOL.

Good thing was… although the majority was men’s shirts, there’s still some shorts, ladies’ blouses, bags, batik material and clothes for the kids.

Hubs very happy!

Karnival Komuniti Kraf 2025

The Community Craft Carnival 2025

Kompleks Kraf Jalan Conlay

Melaka Booth

They actually transportedtheir own trishaw from Melaka to this carnival. Adoiiiii.

Had a lovely chat with Perak. They were promoting Perak and had some great travel brochures to give away. I love seeing these every year because this was also a way for me to check which places I had missed visiting. 

Hehe the staff asked me where have I visited and I said, it’s better to ask me where have I not visited!!!

I named places that the younger staff have not even heard before!!! We earned these cute Tapirs for joining the Perak tourism club. Ohhh, they even came up with their own Coffee Trails around Perak. Good job!!!

My own batik button

Even got me some beautiful stamps for my collection.

I super loveeeeee the batik stamp.

Look how beautiful the Terengganu batik stamp is. Took me 3 tries to get a perfect pattern.

Mdm Hanim Apeng 

We met this inspiring Orang Asli entrepreneur today who took time to chat with us. Mdm Hanim Apeng is from the Jakun-Jahut tribe from Pahang but currently living at the Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Buloh, Selangor. She is the founder of Asli MakIntan Enterprise. 

She speaks in an eloquent manner, has interesting stories to share and expressed her love for creating traditional Orang Asli handicraft and lifestyle products. Being a community leader, she supports and helps other indigenous communities (there are 18 Orang Asli tribes in Peninsular Malaysia) as well.

 

“Snow” in KL

Hahahaaaa Fake Snow!!!

But the Christmas vibes were present. Excitement was obvious. 

I soooo had to see it for myself. 

I just could not believe the crowd. Sooooo many humans around waiting for the snow fall, everyone was happy, they cheered when the snow started falling, excitedly taking videos and photos…. 

and so did we 😂 (minus the cheering!!!)

The good spirit of a snowy Christmas feeling was so contagious.

Rustic Borneo Kitchen

Kelana Jaya SS6

I knew it was going to be tough looking for a park but after hearing so many good reviews about this place, I wanted to give it a try.

Was early, about 9AM, so found a park at the back of the shop. 

Shop was dark, servers didn’t seem to be in the mood to work (that’s the impression I got),  tables were along the corridors and there was no fans on the ceiling. 

Yupp, I was sweating!

I thought this was 7th Mile Kitchen as mentioned by some food reviewers but it is NOT. 

Rustic Borneo belongs to Alvin, who later turned up at the kopitiam and gave it some cheer. At least there was some decent conversation. He cleared up my confusion about 7th Mile. 

Nice chap, from Kuching.

Rustic Borneo’s menu was good. Great variety. 

I just wished that the kopitiam was more conducive. 

We ordered Sarawak Laksa, Kolo Mee Pok and Kiaw. 

Very nicely cooked. Tasted authentic. 

 

KL Seni & STEM Festival 2025

“Where in the world is Plaza 20008?” I wondered.

 It says it’s in KLCC Park. Hmmmmm.

Ohh, it is an empty space beside Suria KLCC, in front of the Four Seasons Hotel, facing the KLCC Park. 

I thought it’s a great event space. 

This was such a lovely initiative by Petrosains and the Philharmonic but I didn’t enjoy much. Performances were spread out and the good ones were too late (for me).  I love attending this kinda events early but I am not about to sit myself there the whole day. So I always miss out on better performances, like the Chinese Opera which was held at 6PM. 

The stalls… I expected a bigger variety. It was quite disappointing to me. However, I did find an interesting stall that created and promoted products from recycled stuff. That was good!

Plaza 20008 is on the right, where the yellow banners

Ekha… got my stylo yellow bracelet here… a recycled product!

Had my Coconut Tea drink here. Yummy!

We went back on the last day to catch the lion dance by Universiti of Malaya Liondance troupe. It rained the whole time. 

Haiya this fella gave me a sweet. I no want sweet.

I want $$$

You g drummers
