Malaysia Online Florist Review

I have been shopping around for fresh flowers online and since I am a picky person, I have been searching high and low for the cheapest and best florist in Malaysia.

Dependent Grown Up Children

What makes me really mad...is when I see a parent KEEP supporting his or her grown up children. Needless to say, these adults are raised and spoiled to be dependent, careless, selfish and having that "i entitle it" attitude.

As a parent, when you keep on supporting your children financially,

Does your children appreciate you more? No.

Is he ever going to be financially independent? Most likely not.

Is he going to return your money? No.

Does it improve your relationship when you ask your children back for the money? No

When you are old, sick and poor, can he/she support your needs? No.

Does it strain the relationship between your dependent child with the independent ones? Oh hell, yes.

What are the chances of him getting into situation or stuff that he couldn't afford? 100%

As a result, the parents are working their butts off while the children conveniently milking their money.

I do want to be blase about this but I just can't no matter how hard I tried.

Here's an article titled

Enabling Self-Indulgent Adult Children Is Not Good Parenting

which I seriously like to share. My favourite line for this article is "Adult children who are not disabled should not be supported by their parents and parents should not support their adult children"

Trip to Penang

Detour to Ipoh for dimsum is a must!

Dim Sum #1 @ Foh San, Ipoh

Dim Sum #2 @ Foh San, Ipoh


Family @ Foh San, Ipoh

Ar Leng CKT @ Khoon Hiang Cafe, Penang
You can request to add mantis prawn and duck egg to your CKT here.
I would prefer the CKT at Kafe Heng Huat of Lorong Selamat cause their prawn are fresher than the ones here.


Me @ Northam's lobby
I just love to stay at this hotel, it's my 3rd time here :)


Love the hotel's view.


 Hotel's bathroom



 Jacuzzi!



Had a relaxing swim here


My darling chilling at the pool's bench.


Our night entertainment @ Pakma food court


The set lunches at Redbox, Gurney is really not bad
For the price of RM12++ onwards for a main course, a drink and 3 hours karaoke time, this deal is superb!


Bought this RM15 spec from Gurney Plaza

We had our seafood dinner at Sunshine Bay Seafood before heading back to KL.

Sunshine Bay Seafood, Tanjung Bungah

Braised noodle with flower crab and prawn

The noodle, crab and prawn is a great combo and it's really hard to find both crab and prawn this fresh. I would highly recommend this. 

Claypot fish head with yam.

This is one of the restaurant's signature dish, it does taste good and the fish is really fresh.

Kappa mee suah, another signature dish

This was also a great dish, my only grip is the mee suah is slightly too soft and soggy.

It's lala is so fresh and sweet.

Fried long bean with choy poh and dried shrimp 

Fried sotong, too chewy for my liking

Mom having a laugh

The bill, quite reasonable la

Sunshine Bay is right opposite this condo called Harmony Residence.

 Just out random curiosity, I checked the price for this property and it's worth a staggering RM3 mil for this 5000 sqft apartment!
