VISITING AN EX-STUDENT IN KPJ HOSPITAL IN DAMANSARA

After attending a wedding reception in Klang, I quickly drove to KPJ Specialist Hospital 2 in Damansara. The mission was to visit Mr. Ahmad Firdaus Shahlan, an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti who had just undergone a bypass heart surgery there.

I also got to meet the wife of Mr. Ahmad, Puan Noor Al Iman Mazlan, and his younger sister, Puan Shazwani Shahlan, who were both my ex-students of the same school.

There were many other visitors when I was there. It seemed he was one popular patient in the ward. Unfortunately, I could stay that long as I had to drive back to Johor Bahru right after.

Wishing Mr. Ahmad a speedy recovery and looking forward to other coffee sessions with him and his friends soon.

BLOGGING FROM SHAH ALAM, SELANGOR

 I am now blogging from Shah Alam, Selangor and will be spending the night here. The shirt trip is more interesting and different from others as I drove all the way from Johor Bahru. There will be important agenda in the itinerary list tomorrow before going home that could be featured in my blog real soon. Make sure you come back for the updates real soon.

SPOT THE ERROR 235

FISH MACKEREL CRACKERS

THE CORRECT VERSION:

MACKEREL CRACKERS

or 

MACKAREL FISH CRACKERS

[Although I feel "Mackerel Fish" is a repetition - the word "fish" is not necessary].

 

THE BRIEF PRE-LUNCH SESSION WITH AN EX-COLLEAGUE

I met Mr. Sanusi Jusoh, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti, at Taman Sri Pulai Mosque. [He is now teaching in SMK Skudai.] We both came to visit an ex-colleague's/ex-students' father who passed away and the prayer was held at the mosque. We instantaneously decided to get something light for lunch and the nearest eating place was Restoran Aminah.

It was only a short dine in meeting but it was worth the time. It is now getting more and more difficult to meet and chat with ex-colleagues as people seem to be busy with work related matters.

SPOT THE ERROR 234

  ERROR #1   

❎ CAN DRINK

✅ CANNED DRINK

  ERROR #2  

NESCAFE DRINK is a repetition.

We do not say Coke Drink, or Pepsi Drink.

We just say Coke and Pepsi.

  ERROR #3  

CRUTON?

I googled and could not find CRUTON.
Perhaps it should be CROUTON.

GETTING CHICKEN RICE FOR LUNCH IN KULAI

We decided to go to IOI Mall in Kulai for lunch with no specific place in mind. Then we saw this new restaurant called "Sang Gerai" and wanted to give it a try.

The place was filled with people eating in. Luckily we managed to get a table for two, or else we had to queue for seats outside.

I asked the girl waiter at the entrance, what was the restaurant's specialty and she answered: Teh Tarik.

We ordered Chicken Rice, which had almost the same resemblance of the menu at Chicken Rice Shop. For one thing, there is now a competition which should be healthy.

Take photo first,
then review

I am happy with my meal and hope they will maintain the taste and quality of the food. I will not hesitate to come back to try other items in the menu.

EXPLORING PANTAI MAWAR OF ENDAU

    29th JUNE 2026    ~ Pantai Mawar was a private beach that was located near to our chalet [READ HERE], about one minute away by car. It was opened to public 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.pm daily with a small entry fee of RM5. You could also camp in the area with friends or family.

It was Monday, a working day, so there were very few people in the area, and it looked like as if we were the only visitors around.

Other than the pine trees and the long stretch of sandy beach, another attraction of this place was Pulau Mawar at the other end. One could walk on the small walkway to the small island, and trek up the hill to the other side for another panoramic view. We didn't go there as it was already getting hotter.

I was here 3 years ago with my colleagues. Read more about my trip to this place here:

Trekking Trip
The Stone Arch

One of the best places to have a picnic or just to sit down and enjoy the view of the greenery and the sea. Pantai Mawar is the must-visit place for people who love to take photos for their social media accounts. As for me, I don't mind going there again and again.
