Tsuki Japanese Restaurant, JB, Malaysia

I love anything that is Japanese food. I started liking Japanese food when I was young. I can still remember eating in Tokyo Tokyo as a child and that I thought that it is the best food ever made. Needless to say there a lot more Authentic Japanese food which I have tasted all throughout the year. I usually order Tuna Sashimi and Tempura, but come college/university years I started liking a lot more on the menu aside from what I have mentioned. I started liking sushi and from then on it never stop.

My colleagues ask me what I wanted to eat, I quickly said anything Japanese! So they took me to this Japanese Restaurant and we again invaded it. Tsuki Japanese Restaurant in Taman Pelangi, JB is a small restaurant with your typical Japanese menu ranging from Sushi to Bento meals. I find it quite pricey (well Japanese restaurants are pricey compared to the Philippines'). The only negative comment that I would say is that they serve the food quite slowly. I do not know if it is because we are a lot in our group or their service is really slow.


Sushi is love

Nice on Benedict!

I am not picky when it comes to Japanese Food because like what I have mentioned, everything is good for me! But this would not be on the top of my list. Just saying.

New Friends, New Learnings

Last March 2014 I have experienced a wonderful event in my life, full of learning and full of happiness. Our company invest on training the new GMTs (Graduate Management Trainee) for them to become a successful person not only for the company but for themselves as well. My 3-day GDP (Graduate Development Program) was not only about learning how to become a better leader but to become a better person as well.

GMTs all throughout the APAC region went for the GDP to share their experiences from different departments and countries with each other. To learn from it and to grow from it. Meeting a lot of new faces is a fun part for me for I can understand them better and learn what their cultures are. Speaking of cultures what I learned is that each and everyone of us has different cultures and the only way to understand their culture is that you should have respect with them and their culture. 

To start it off we usually have our breakfast and lunch in the hotel. Then for dinner it would always be out from our hotel.

On our 2nd night, we went for Japanese. It was not suggested by me. But again I love Japanese food so how could I say no? 
 










 

It was a very good experience for me for I have learned a lot and I met a lot of GMTs in our company from different countries such as China, Australia, Malaysia and India. Hoping to see you guys again in August!!! :-)

Hello Kitty Town in Puteri Harbour, JB, Malaysia

Since I was a child I love Hello Kitty so much! It started when my mom showed me this Hello Kitty stuff toy that my Uncle gave me and then when we went to SM Megamall in the Philippines I saw there the Sanrio Store where I saw lots and lots of Hello Kitty. I never thought that I will still love this cute kitten until I grow up and work! I am now 24 years old and yes I still collect Hello Kitty items and my friends keep on telling me to grow up. Well to tell you the truth I would never ever grow tired of collecting Hello Kitty!

Before I go to Malaysia for work my mom told me that there is a Hello Kitty town in the same state where I am going to work. Truth be told! It took me months to finally ask someone to come with me since a lot of my friends don't want to go because they find it costly and childish as well. Since I am a foreigner I paid RM75 for the entrance. 

For those single people who doesn't really like Hello Kitty then this price for you is expensive but for those who is like me then I think that this price is ok. Inside is mostly for taking pictures but then there are also activities in which people need to line up. Activities such as Badge Making, Cookie Making, Jewellery Making, and Costume Picture Taking. Oh yeah I forgot the other one which is the Quest game ( we didn't manage to finish and find the right answer because we were tired; excuses excuses. :-) ) 

Red Bow Cafe 
Ordinary Breakfast 
 Upon entering the HK Town we know that we are too early and we hadn't eat any yet. So we decided to try the Red Bow Cafe. I thought that they will be serving Hello Kitty-shaped breads and all but they just use Hello Kitty plates and cup. So there is nothing to be amazed at this point since it was just a normal and ordinary overpriced meal for us. We do not have a choice, ok I really wanted to try the Hello

Excited to go in!!! 

Our first stop is Hello Kitty's house. As expecting everything is pink and cute. I seriously wanted to have a room like this when I was a child but since I am now an adult this is a no no for me. So I am thinking of having this kind of room for my child, of course my future child should be a girl.

It's not just a room but it's a full house decoration. I am really telling you guys that if I become rich I would have another house like this dedicated to my child's playroom.

For the activities, before you enter the HK Town they will be giving you this activity card so that they could track how many activities yo have gone through already. Also this is their way of saying that you could only go to one activity once only. 

Activities: 

1. Jewellery Making 
    -a place where children and children at heart can choose which pendant they wanted to put in their necklace. It is not really complicated as it is designed for children. Well I saw a lot of teenagers and grown-ups as well lining up. 

2. Cookie Making 
    - again you will not make any cookies. One just need to colour the cookies using a red jam which I think is a Strawberry and a Brown Jam which is Chocolate then afterwards you can eat it right then and there! 

3.Badge Making 
   - for me this is the hardest among all the activity for the children because you need to make your own badge from scratch. But again it was easy and fun for it was our first time to make such thing

4. Costume 
   - of course you will not make a costume. You are just there to choose which costume you wanted to wear and then take a photo! We ended up buying the photo even though it cost RM50 because it was very cute and again memorable.

Their daily show 





I didn't buy anything in the Sanrio store because everything is expensive. Though there were sales but then the quality isn't that good anymore. I have a lot of pictures and I enjoyed this day! Super! If you will ask me if I would come back again? Yes! Definitely! But it would be hard for me to invite people!

Neway Karaoke Box City Square, Johor Bahru

During my last weeks in Malaysia my friends and I decided to go out and have some drinking session after our Dinner. Finance meets R,D&A. Hahaha. We started drinking in our favourite bar in The Zon but the night is too young so we decided to go and have a karaoke session in the Neway Karaoke Box City Square. For me the place is quite expensive as you have to pay RM 35 per person. Anyway the place is big for the 6 people so I guess you really pay for the ambiance.

Besides singing inside a karaoke bar you could actually ask for a dice set and play the dice game. It was my first time to do the game and it was a pretty direct game. All you have to do is shake then guess how many are the 2's,3's...., 6's of all the people in the game! That's it. If you think that the person is lying then you could say bluff and that person have to drink up but if he or she is telling the truth then you have to drink up!

Buy one Take one drink

It's 3 am and we are still alive and kicking!




It was indeed a super fun night with my friends as we went home around 4 am I think. Full of stories and full of laughter. I will forever cherish this night. :-)
