I achieved my goal of hanging out with friends for coffee and dinners. I think this year I meet friends at least once a week.
January 2026
Cousin’s wedding here at Kg Tun Sardon. I have a few cousins who used to live at Kg Tun Sardon here in Ara Kuda. One of them got married and they had a house wedding ceremony which was a nice event.
Jac’s birthday. Jac Reviews Stuff (Youtube) decided to have his birthday celebration at Mc Donald’s. With a Mc Nugget cake, I’m sure he had a lot of fun. Jac does Photography for RM 250/hour unlimited shots, client gets to select which shots they want. If you have indoor photography requirements in Penang island area, give Jac a call.
Visiting Teluk Intan & Setiawan with dad. We drove from Taiping to the West Coast Expressway, a newly opened highway bringing us to the coastal towns on Setiawan and Teluk Intan. We enjoyed the drive and the local scene.

Met Shaq the comedian on Valentine’s Day! It was a Chinese New Year drive down to KL since I didn’t have much leave. My brother and sister did meet up in Singapore but KL was as far as we went this round. Shaq has been a friend for many years. I try to catch her when she performs in Penang. For comedy events, visit Penang Comedy on Facebook and Instagram.
Met Sam and Leena for Mc Donald’s. Sam is my age. His girlfriend works at Gurney Plaza. I enjoy his tweets and occasional memes that he sends over. Sam is eazy going. He adapts very well to any situation and food choices that we make going out.
Did a family photoshoot
Went for Torito Peruvian fine dining. I was shocked to see 5-figure wine available. Chateau Lafite Rothchild 2018, Grand Cru, France for RM 17,003!
Aunt Lillian visited us in Kajang. My dad’s sister often encourages me on social media watching my 2 minute videos and showing love. She can cook. I enjoy her meals when she cook for us in KL. But ever so often we simply go out to restaurants for meals nowadays. My sister’s helper from Indonesia can cook well too. Soup, vege with big prawns, curry chicken, delicious!
Went for our favouite seafood place at Tambun, Simpang Ampat. Dad and I often go to Nibong Tebal for seafood porridge or Tambun for regular seafood dishes. He likes the balitong, shell fish and kam heong Crab.
IKEA with Isaac to end of the month. Isaac works at the hospital saving lives. At other times, he is Spicadeth (youtube), creating underground music that has 50-100 views – but that doesn’t bother him. Which surprises me and makes me respect his work and work ethic. Me? If I were to produce music or videos, I’d like a thousand views! Validation from outside.
March 2026
Went to Sabah and Sarawak and Brunei for holiday on a roadtrip. Check my Instagram for a short video I created for this trip. We drove 2,000km from Kota Kinabalu to Lawas to Brunei, to Miri to Mukah and turn around and do the same journey in reverse. We stayed in Mega Hotel in Miri, which was already there when we were in Brunei from 1994-2003.
Bought shoes for Charlie as farewell gift. Charlie is a fun team leader / supervisor. He is mild tempered and has a relaxing way of doing things. He was my team lead for 1.5 years at Teleperformance. He’s a fan of ping pong and he says he wants to be a farmer in his yard in Hanoi!
Pizza party at work celebrating the end of our time in Team Charlie. Yeah, we pooled money and had a delicious pizza lunch with our team before being dispersed and absorbed into other teams.
A&W with Biow Huei. I know Biow Huei since 2012 (so that’s 14 years of friendship). A lot has changed, but we kept in touch with our monthly dinner adventures.
Waterfall at Ipoh trip with Team Charlie. We had a 2-3 hours drive to Ipoh to enjoy the waterfall. Jasvinh (my lunch buddy) and I went around looking for something to munch on while the others enjoyed the man made water fall at Lembah Timah.
April 2026
Got new Nike shoes thanks to my sister. I am always grateful for the shoes that I get. She buys in bulk for her family, so there are some extra ones I’ll get it.
Had Sate Kajang. Tender juicy satay.
Went to Little June Sushi in Batu Kawan. Looking for new restaurants to try, we settled on Little June. Their welcome greeting, “Irasshaimase!”, is the most uniform and like-Japan type of greeting. Service is good, food is delicious. Price is reasoable. (not Dozo level of priceyness).
Dad and I got invited to a Manora (Rong Kru) dance at end of the month. You can google what this dance is. We love to attend but parking will be a problem and we would have to walk a distance, something my dad is struggling with.
