Preview Screening of School Tales

Image
I attended the Thai Horror Preview Screening of 'School Tales' which premiered on the 12th of January 2017.   The horrifying tales are spilt into 3 different stories, and the first story is 'The Giant' - about a disabled student who is fat and has been bullied by his classmates. He has been given a nickname, the 'Giant' due to his large size.     One day, his friends make play a prank on him by inviting him to go to an old and abandoned building in the school ground. The Giant is panicked as he was alone, and unfortunately he fell to his death from a staircase due to an accident. Since then, no student has dared to go near to the building as they will hear a voice asking 'Where are you?', and if no one answers, the Giant will appear...     The second story is 'The Library Spirit' - a ghost that will appear in the library when a student makes a noise.     The third story is 'Pawadee' - a student was kill

[personal] Happy Barkday Coco + random-ness

Image
Coco came into my life in 2006, when she was only 3 months old. Now, she has turned 11 years old on 3rd January 2017. Baby and I decided to bring her to Happenstance Café , a dog friendly café which is located at Opal Crescent . I ordered some ribbon pasta with carrots and broccoli for her as her Barkday treat.  Baby and I ordered a waffle with ice-cream for sharing, as well as a pot of tea for ourselves. Happy Barkday Coco! Stay healthy always. She still looks as lovely and adorable as the first day I had her 11 years ago. In our hearts, she is always our lovable furkid!  During a recent visit to Kim Gary , I redeemed the a monthly offer of XO Carrot Cake at no cost as I am a member of this eatery! I had my favorite Shanghainese Rice with Chicken and mushroom as my main. Being a member, I was also entitled a weekday 10% discount off the total bill, which added an extra dining pleasure for me! Weekdays seem less blue now.

[random] All about food across JB and SG

I chanced upon Hold-Zhu Tea way back in 2013, and at the time, its location was at Taman Desa Tebrau . It was the café/restaurant that I've ever seen that utilized shipping containers as its premises! Now, it has been re-named it as ' The Metallic Kitchen' .   Recently, I went to their second branch at Golden Triangle Pelangi, Taman Pelangi for some teas and snacks.   As mentioned before, The Metallic Kitchen was set up using recycled shipping containers which made it environmentally friendly. This unique design allows patrons to enjoy their meals and drinks within the cosy container box for a different dining experience!     To beat the scorching weather, we ordered 2 icy teas and some fish fingers for our tea, and the damage was RM29.   Apart from the indoor seating, the eatery place also offers an alfresco setting. I love the swing seats very much. I sat on the swing before leaving the premises, and I
