WHEN THE DEPUTY MINISTER CAME VISITING

Madam Lim Hui Ying, the Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development [KPWKK] visited JKM's Kompleks Penyayang in Kempas today. One of the sites she went to was the Children's Activity Centre.

I was also there as I was free while the other committee members were all working on Monday.

I met the newly appointed supervisor of the activity centre, Miss Putri Nurdayana, who happens to be an ex-student of SMK Dato' Jaafar.

She was in the activity centre for about 15 minutes and it was then ended because she had to go to other spots in the building.

I was glad a friend, Mr. Wan Hasrin, was also there so we quickly left the place and made our way to Zus Cafe in Setia Tropika. Nothing beats a glass of iced coffee after a hard day's work. 😆

THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF TWO PAIRS OF BRIDES AND GROOMS AT ONE TIME

Puan Rahmah Abdullah, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti, held a wedding reception for her two children, a son and a daughter, who are both the ex-students of the same school. The event was held at Princess House by Diva somewhere in Ulu Choh.

When there was a wedding reception, reunion session with old friends also took place.

There were also many ex-students present, but I didn't have the opportunity to take photos with them. There were just too many people and at the same time, I could not wait for too long.

PAIR #1:
Mr. Faiz Hanafi & Ms. Nurul Syazwani

PAIR #2:
Mr. Irfannuddin & Ms. Deena Akmaliah

Congratulations to both pairs of brides and grooms. May your live be blessed and filled with joy and love throughout. Congratulations also to the family on the arrival of two new members at one time - and the family will expand in no time.

THE 3D3N STAY AT SENTRAL HOTEL IN KUANTAN

I chose Sentral Hotel for my accommodation during my stay in Kuantan from 25th - 27th January, 2026. Before this, I had stayed at two other different hotels nearby.

I managed to get the view of the river from my room.

One hotel with reasonable rate for you to choose when in Kuantan. The location is strategic, near to the attractions around the Tower, and many nearby eating places too. Parking could be an issue if you are driving. I did not see any parking space for hotel guests except the ones by the roadside in front of the hotel.

THE [VERY] SHORT STAY IN ELMARK HOTEL IN KUANTAN

   25TH JANUARY 2026   ~ I arrived at Kuantan Sentral at about 5:00 a.m. and the wedding reception would be in the afternoon. Therefore I needed a place to rest a bit. Luckily I found this hotel called Elmark Hotel that allowed short stay from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

I managed to lie down a bit and take a shower after that before checking out.

Looking at the embroidered writing on the hotel towel, I also have the same brand for my ceiling fans at home.

The hotel was decent enough at the rate given. There were things that could be improved. For example, I was not allowed to get into my room when I arrived at 7:30 a.m. even though the room was not occupied. The guy at the reception did not look friendly at all. If only he could smile a bit, it would have been much better.

THE IMPROMPTU GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE IN PERMAS JAYA

I met Mr. Mohd. Faiz this afternoon to get something done with my car. Unfortunately, the job had to be postponed to next Monday so we decided to get lunch instead.

The recommended eating place by Mr. Mohd Faiz was MBJB DKontena Permas Jaya. He wanted to introduce the Chicken Rice from Nasi Ayam & Nasi Ayam Penyet Noi stall at the food court.

The Chicken Rice was good. It is actually not easy nowadays to get good Chicken Rice from stalls or food courts. The rice must be fragrant and the soup should be thick. Now I know a new place to get lunch.

Mr. Mod. Faiz seem to be knowledgeable in finding good eating places around town. I will be seeing him again next week and there will be another gastronomic adventure going to happen.
