THE SHORT BRUNCH SESSION AT AEON PERMAS JAYA

I needed to get my [new] car tinted somewhere in Permas Jaya. That would require about two hours of waiting so Mr. Faiz suggested that we went to get brunch at AEON Permas Jaya which was nearby.

Even though I had been to the mall many times, I had never had any meal at the food court there.

I decided to try the food from the AEON kitchen: rice and beef dendeng [sliced meat cooked in chili and spices], and it was good. The portion of the meat is big but the price was still reasonable.

I regret coming here as I will after this go back to this place at least to get its Teh Tarik. Mind you, these days it is not easy to get a good glass of Teh Tarik.

VISITING GALERI AURA ISLAM IN ANJUNG MYDIN

24th JANUARY 2026 ~ This was an impromptu decision to get into an exhibition at Anjung Mydin. Thank God, my friend, Mr. Redzuan, agreed to join me once I spotted the mini gallery called "Galeri Aura Islam" [TRANSLATE: Islamic Vibe Gallery].

There were a busload of school students when we arrived. The group was accompanied by a guide in the gallery.

This gallery showcased more than 300 authentic artifacts of Islamic civilization. I had once went to see the same exhibition in 2019 in Persada Johor but that time it was free if I am not mistaken. [READ HERE]

If you are around Iskandar Puteri area, this could be an option for an educational activity especially when there are not many museums you can find in Johor Bahru. The entrance ticket for an adult is RM30.

That was our first educational trip together, other than the regular trips to the malls and eating places. I am glad my friend enjoyed the short visit and I could take him to other museum next time.

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.
