Few Hours in Putrajaya

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Few Hours in Putrajaya


Pardon the wrong way of writing Putrajaya in the pictures 😛 I don’t know why I kept thinking Putrajaya is 2 words. I only realized it now. Oh blur to the max!


Got the opportunity to visit Putrajaya. First time here.


As what I was being told… Lots of space and very hot. Indeed!


My impression on this place is that it does not enough “life”. This place is just building, building, and more building; space, space, space, and more space. A very “cold” place to be.


Anyway, just a brief introduction of Putrajaya, source from Wikipedia… How lazy am I? *BLEK*
Putrajaya is a planned city, 25 km south of Kuala Lumpur, that serves as the federal administrative centre of Malaysia due to overcrowding and congestion in the Kuala Lumpur area.

Will just let the photos do the talking now. I have nothing much to say about this place. See how deserted it is?





Lastly, night view… Took this after dinner. The place is practically deserted at night because it’s an administrative area.

After dinner, we just drove around the place and went back to Port Dickson.

Done with my work trip post. Finally! 😛

Melaka River Cruise

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Melaka River Cruise

The trip last month to Port Dickson gave me the opportunity to go to Melaka for a short day trip. My second time visiting Melaka but my first time going on the river cruise. All photos and video taken on the cruise.


Look for the the river and you will find the cruise at Muara Jetty. I didn’t pay for the ride so I’m not sure how much. Foudn this online, I assume it’s still valid.


Non-Mycard holder:
Adult = RM 15.00 Child = RM 7.00

Mycard holder:
Adult = RM 10.00 Child = RM 5.00


The tour is 45 minutes with commentary.


Kampung Morten is a traditional Malay village and living museum. One of the attractions you’ll see on the cruise. Didn’t come here during the last trip.


You’ll go under a lot of bridges, all with its own unique architecture.

Took a short video of the ride.

Finally got this post up. I’m so tired… Have a great week ahead.

Kuching Festival 2015

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Kuching Festival 2015

Yesterday was the first day of Kuching Festival 2015, happening at Dewan Masyarakat located at Padungan. Went there to look for dinner with my parents.


Never went there on the first day, this year is the first.


Walked, walked, walked… It rained! Luckily not heavy and we had our umbrella with us. Apart from the usual stalls you see every year, there’s surely some new stalls, and a lot of new ice cream stalls! Goodness! It’s more like ice cream fair than food fair. All sort of ice cream from hand crafted ice cream, to popcorn ice cream, to gelato, to yogurt, to macaroon, and more!



These are some stalls we tried, yakitori and pizza.

Before we headed home, fireworks lighted up the sky, the rain had stopped too. It’s been awhile not coming so close to one. It was the launch last night. Normally they will do it on Saturday night, the 2nd night but this time on a Friday night, the first night.

Have fun at Kuching Festival! I usually will go there about 3 to 4 times a week hehehe…

Port Dickson (6-10/7/2015)

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Port Dickson (6-10/7/2015)

Went to Port Dickson way back in 2013. Didn’t expect to go back there anytime soon. Didn’t stay a night there, it was just a pit stop and we went to the Royal Port Dickson Yacht Club for early dinner.

Few weeks back, was informed rather last minute on this trip. Oh well… For work purpose with a bunch of colleagues…


On Monday afternoon, we flew to KLIA2 and the hotel van came to pick us up. Grand Beach Resort Port Dickson (5th Mile, Jln Pantai, 71050 Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia) was our home for almost a week. Apparently, it’s not too far from Royal Port Dickson Yacht Club. Isn’t it fun to go to a beach resort and have your meeting there? Duh… It’s work dude?!?! Not holiday. Fun? What fun? Well… A little fun, yes… Lots of fun? No… *LOL*


Luckily… I was being assigned with my own room and I got a queen sized bed!! At least I don’t have to share a room and got all the privacy I needed. The hotel is more than 20 years old, they are still undergoing a series of refurbishments. It’s not easy to maintain such big property located at the beach. However, I’m sure it will be a good one once all renovations are done.


Every room has its own balcony. The view I got is exactly what you see in the photos. Was lucky that I managed to swim in the pool but didn’t get the time to play at the beach. At least I got to wear my swimsuit or else it will just stayed there in the luggage not getting worn hahaha…

Basically, in this post, I’m just sharing with you slightly about the hotel and will let the photos to the talking. Oh… Irene is getting lazy… The last post was more than a week ago! Busy busy busy…



First night, our dinner was the resort’s Ramadan Buffet. It’s dark, my camera isn’t very good in taking proper photos, it’s old and the focusing is a bit off too. Ah… When to get a new one? Don’t take much photos with camera these days, just with my phone, quality is rather hopeless too. Didn’t try much of the food, no appetite, wasn’t feeling very well too as I was still sick during the trip.


Left: Breakfast at the resort, these are just starter, I forgot to take photo of my main course hehehe…
Right: The view once I got out of my room.



These views are from the following rooms…

A collections of our breakfast and lunch for the 2nd and 3rd day.



That’s about it on the resort I stayed.

Next post will be a few-hours trip to Melaka and Putrajaya just to break fast with other Muslim colleagues.

That’s all for now… Finally a post after more a week!

GST oh GST…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on GST oh GST…

Haven’t have the time to post anything yet… Was away for almost a week last week due to official duty. Came back and have to continue with tonnes of work and also to help with GST filing as the first quarter is due soon!

I’ve been busy with the filing since I got back from my trip. Still not done yet. So much to do, what’s more I’m not well-verse in accounting. However, at least now I understand roughly how the system works. Just that the problem now is that the system we subscribed to seem to be flawed, there’s some bugs in it which is causing me to have to calculate things manually. Found out the system is generating wrong amount which can affect the amount to file. Because of this, I had to use Excel to do the calculation as I always press the wrong number on calculator. I’m not well-verse in using Excel too at least it solve my problem in calculation for now especially with a string of numbers. However, still cannot trace where the system got the output tax value. It should very straight forward to get the value but some how the amount generated isn’t tally with my calculations. Oh dear… Worst come to worst, just file it based on whatever the amount the system generated.

I’m not an accounting person… I always almost flunk this subject in school. Even almost failed my master because of this subject but some how I passed by luck. Now… Me to do this?!?! WOW! At least it’s not that hard, all I need is just to key in the numbers and result generated by the system, only problem is there’s a LOT to key in -.-” From April to June!

So many hiccups trying to file the GST. The GAF file generated by the system isn’t accepted by TAP. Duh… So have to fill in the fields manually. Fine… At least the figures are already there for you to copy and paste into the designated fields. Then who knows… Came another section which force you to key in MSIC code, what the hell is it?!?! Found out what it’s all about but couldn’t find the industry codes I need! GOSH! Sure is giving me headache. I’ve yet ti find a conclusion to this part.

Anyway, enough of the rant. I just hope I can file it in time! Or else we’ll be in deep trouble. Sigh… Should be able to go back to normal update after filing this thing.

GST oh GST… You sure are making my life difficult…

Oh! Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! Enjoy the long weekend.
