SATAY HUT (TANJUNG KARANG)

A friend of mine once told me about a satay (barbeque beef) shop somewhere in Tanjung karang that sells extra large satay. I've trying to go there but not successful. Yesterday while travelling back from Teluk Intan (attending my grandma funeral), I've noticed a huge stall with a sign "SATAY HUT". Immediately I hit the brake and drive my car to the spacious car park provided.

And my friend was right. They do sell extra large satay with a price of RM 1.10 per satay. I would say it's about double the size of a normal satay. So the next time you hit Tanjung Karang please look for Satay Hut. It's a satay experience with a different twist.

LOG BOOK (BOOKS SUMMARY)

Reading can be addictive and that's absolutely true. But I do noticed that many do not write down the summary once they finish reading. I'm not saying that it's compulsory but I believe it's much better to jot down the main points in a log book.

I've done that and found it very satisfying especially when you can see that how many books you've read (mine is 35 and counting). But not only that you can also browse through the summary (plus the sketching or diagram) just to recap what's the book is all about. Fellow blogger Pak Adib is good in doing this.

MY LIBRARY

I like books and I always wanted to have my own library in my house. Starting from last year I was introduced by another book loving friend of mine to this book shop called PayLess Book Store which sells cheap used books.

So far I've good number of books collection to start a small library. It's satisfying coming back from work and to look at the books. I'm also using this as part of my strategy to motivates my 2 kids to love reading.

MEMORY JAR

I've read an article about the above few months back. It's a very creative concept of "sentimental" memory database. Most of us probably do have our own diary or blog to jot down the important occasions in our day to day living, things like birthday, the date we bought our new car or house, the day our son/daughter being accepted to the university and others.

The concept of memory jar is basically the same. The only difference is that all the "sweet" moments will be written down on a piece of paper and to be kept inside the jar. The writer do suggest that the jar to be opened during special gathering for example family reunion or birthday .

I'm planning to have one very soon.

TTD LIST (AFTER A LONG BREAK)

Well, finally the long raya break is just around the corner and I believe everybody (especially Malaysians) is doing all the necessary preparation either for eidul-fitri, going back to own home town or probably going for vacation (latest trend).

I thing I did notice from previous years experience is the first working day after coming from the break. Definitely the motivation is at the lowest (probably I'm not alone ...hehehe) and I personally tend not to remember what need to be done or continued.

So for this year on the last day of work before the 1 week break, which is tomorrow (yahhhooo!!!!), I'll jot down all the THINGS TO DO (TTD) list and put it on my table. I hope once I'm back from the short 'honey moon' at least I'll be more focus (50/50 percentage) with the TTD list.

BUNDLE SHOP

This is Malaysia equivalent to Salvation Army shop or Value Village (in Canada). It sells used clothing from as far as USA and Japan. I've to admit I'm addicted to it where I can easily spend more than 1 hour just to hunt for my favourite sporting team shirts or caps.

And as a fan of the American Sport (Celtics and Red Sox) this is THE PLACE. And the best thing about it I can get it as cheap as RM 5.00. Bundle shop used to be regarded as poor man shop but I've noticed the trend has change as more people from the middle class could be seen hunting for their desired items.
