4 Hours+ @ tHe Spring

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on 4 Hours+ @ tHe Spring

Yesterday was such a crazy day! I didn’t expect I would spend 4 hours at tHe Spring hunting for shoes and didn’t even go to all the shops selling shoes. Summore with two persons(M & Jimmy) tagging along, poor them had to wait for me for ages especially in Padini, I was there for like almost 2 hours if not mistaken. CRAZY! So many shoes there but when I found the one I like, there’s no more size anymore. Ended up did find one, even after 20% discount it was like RM70, expensive! Decided not to buy and managed to buy one at Fashion Girl, not the best shoes, not the nicest, not really what I want but heck it’s only RM39.90, I don’t mind. At least it’s comfortable. Any shoes below RM40 and it’s comfortable, I don’t mind buying but if it’s more than RM40 then I need to think really hard unless it’s something that I really really like. No photo though ;p I haven’t transfer it from my camera, lazy… Later some day hahaha…


Visited My Privilege Book to follow up with KuchingBloggers.com contest thing. Here’s the new book, I haven’t see what’s in there ;p

After that we started hunting for shoes ;p Then went to lunch. After that went back to tHe Spring again for shoes hunting. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever done hahaha… Then we went over to Food Bazaar. There were Christmas Bazaar and saw my secondary school teacher selling cakes and pastries on behalf of Breakthrough.

Do go and support, learn more about Breakthrough here. The proceeds will go to Breakthrough to help the needy. I was told that the crews of MV Doulos will be helping in one of the works scheduled. It’s Christmas season, it’s time to share.

Not to forget, we camwhored a lot at tHe Spring ;p However, I don’t have many photos because I was busy shoes hunting. While waiting for me, the two of them went to take photos around.

That’s how I spent my Friday *LOL* Supposed to study but didn’t have the mood =.=” Next week exam! Then YIPEE! Two weeks break! So many games are awaiting me to play ;p So many books to read also. So many things need to be done!

Thank you for accompanying me ;p M and Jimmy should be very relieved now that Irene had finally bought her shoes else they are going to accompany her to hunt again in few more shops in tHe Spring! That might take another hour or so *LOL* What to do? It’s sales period now, got many huge discounts. All those that I never bother or interested to look at before suddenly become so appealing now ;p

MV Doulos Here I Come

Posted on By sweet surrender 14 Comments on MV Doulos Here I Come

Update: MUST GO! This will be the last time you can go on board of MV Doulos as it will retire in 2010 and will be replaced by Logos Hope, a new ship.

Here’s the map in case you don’t know how to go.

I missed it 7 years ago. Now, it’s here again! No way I’m going to miss it this time! Located at Sim Kheng Hong Port at Pending. Wondering how to go? Go to Pending Seafood Centre, don’t turn into the centre instead drive straight up, you will see the port there.


The ship! It’s part of my childhood, I’m sure it’s the same to everyone of you.


You can take photo with the mascot. I did! However, my photo isn’t with me. Spot the two guys there? One of them is cute ;p *LOL*


Luckily I didn’t wear my heels and didn’t wear skirt. The staircase is not nice to climb. I’m sure those wearing heels will have problem going up, don’t even say going down. It’s best to wear flip flop or just flats. Not to forget to capture the view from the ship.


View from another section of the ship.


You can see framed photos and information along the way before you reach the book shop.


I had fun with books like these last time. Will definitely buy many books back after the visit. Love those colouring books, puzzle books and sticker books. I was thinking of buying some back hehehe… It’s fun to stick those stickers around the book hehehe… They are so cute! I didn’t buy any though. Maybe during my next visit. They are priced in Unit, e.g. 100 Unit is RM8.


There are also souvenirs that you can buy. I saw many fancily designed bibles, I’m sure it will be one of it kind when you bring it to church ;p There are also many types of notebooks, cook books, self-help books, story books, CDs and etc. Young and old, I’m sure everyone will find something that they like there. It’s great to do Christmas shopping there. Better to give little children books rather than toys.


There was also mural painting competition going on when we were there.

The ship will leave after 2nd January 2009. Wonder when will I see it again. I sure do miss it!

Kado Again!

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Kado Again!

*LOL* I’m sure you will say this. *BLEK* Went there for very late tea break and played with somebody’s new camera. By the way, they have new menu now, most of the price still the same and some got a bit of adjustment. Depending on what you order though. Food starts from RM5(if not mistaken) and drinks is RM2.50(if not mistaken).

Let’s see more food and drinks! ;p

Cappucino Milk Shake(RM5.80); Jasmine Green Tea(if not mistaken, price forgot ;p); Peach Milk Shake(RM5.80), very nice, I like it.


A type of fried noodle, not so bad(RM5+) and Handmade Lamb Burger(RM5), quite nice too.


Fried Fishball(RM5, the cheapest snacks ;p, there were 22 balls if not mistaken) and French Fries(RM8? Don’t remember the price too)

Took so many photos and…

I don’t like any of the photo ;p Due to the lighting, my unruly hair, and wrong angle.

Imagine Spending Christmas at the Smokey Mountain

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Imagine Spending Christmas at the Smokey Mountain

Smokey Mountain? The name sounds fancy don’t you think? HECK! It’s not, it’s a landfill in Payatas, The Philippines. Don’t even say spending Christmas there, I don’t think you will even want to go near that place. Even passing by the huge garbage bin somewhere in town will turn you off and whining about how smelly it is, don’t even say a landfill. However, do you know that many children and adults are there every single day to make a living? It’s a very sad situation. I got this from christmasforpayatas.com

On 10 July 2000, after a period of heavy rain, a trashslide occurred in the Payatas dump claiming over 200 lives, including many children. The tragic victims were the scavengers and sorters at the dump site and those living in the nearby shanties. While the authorities instituted better management of the site after the tragedy, many continue to depend on scavenging as it is their only means of livelihood.

Imagine being killed by garbage? I don’t think anyone wants die this way.

It is sad. Many people like to complain about their life always and never appreciate what they have. If you see or learn about the situation of those children digging out materials from the newly arrived garbage so that they can sell it to help their family to earn some money, it will really make you think that you are living a good life already! You don’t have to go dig out things from landfill to feed your family. The materials they dug is not enough to buy food at all.

You can view this video and you will appreciate what you have in life and make sure you will never ever take things for granted:

If you can help, do help them. There are many Prominent Supporters of Christmas for Payatas, it’s not a scam. Totedaddy is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas. Kudos to Totedaddy.

I hope with my little post here can help create awareness of raising fund for the children in Payatas so that they can have the basic necessities in life and giving them chance to grow up to contribute to the society.
