Trip to Taiwan: Cing Jing Farm

There is always an excitement when visiting Foreign Country, especially for your own leisure trip.

Always looking for a chance to rewind, as this could help to recharge, and to rebuilt exhausted mind, and soul.

Jump shot at Cing Jing Farm (清境農場).

Did not manage to see Alpaca, only to see some sheep.

Leisure arrangement for our Cing Jing farm trip. We had our charter car driver to drive us up from Taichung city centre to Cing Jing. Foggy and chilly uphill too. 

Took a photo while walking up to the only available 7-11 store for a hot soupy meal. Sadly, it was all sold out, and we could only grab some instant noodles, and hot dogs to warm our tummy.

You can refer more about Cing Jing here.

Lokap 7 group : Throwback~

One thing that I personally cherish the most, is however we "Fu-Lan" with each other, we will still compromise and come out as the "Lokap 7 group". Lucky Seven I guess?

Where're the 6th and 7th person? 

One is based at Penang Island, and the other is currently away to pursue her study at New Zealand. Never doubt who's your friend where you had already be in the friendship since age 18 years old, Many more years to come~

Great to have such activity to remind me that there're always "Lokap 7 group" to looking forward.

(What's "Fu-Lan"? F*cking D*lan = Fu-Lan)

My kind of raw fish slices Cantonese porridge

Whenever I am back to hometown - Kampar, Perak; I will always want to fix my cravings.

This is especially to fix my cravings on Cantonese style porridge with raw thin slices of fresh fish (if not mistaken the local called it 鲩鱼). 

 Here's a mixture of 3-combos. Raw fish slices porridge with port meatball (inside the porridge bowl), with steam which chicken. The best 3 combo you could ever wish for! There is an additional creamy white dessert there, which is actually soy bean curd ginkgo barley dessert.

 Look at the pork meat ball in served with the porridge. If you wish not to have anything inside, you can order a plain porridge.

 The smooth and chewy steam white chicken~ Yummy

My favourite! The thinly sliced raw fish meat-my kind of sashimi porridge!!! 

I could not recall what is the fish stall name, nor the Uncle's name. It is situated at the Kampar Medan Makan, and operating at night from around 630pm-till sold out (sold out quite fast, though).

Double rainbow~

Throwback photo of a double rainbow which caught our attention when stepping out from car to attend a friend's wedding.

How many times had you see double rainbow? A second rainbow which is lighter and faint, looks like the rainbow is echoing~😎

Pokemon Go with local community

Recently, I still receive comment on friends and family members asking if there is really any Pokemon Go players? They thought that the game is dying and no much players left. It is not surprising that they had such comments, because they had seen less players on highly occupied place as compare to Pokemon Go firstly launch on August 2016. Some of the players had converted themselves as "spoofers" to enable them playing this game at home without having to walk or to drive to certain places; some had abandoned the game and let their friends to adopt their account; some are seasonal players -  as they do not have much free time during weekdays and could only play on weekends, and some are hardcore players.

We had a few Pokemon Go community day organized by the local community members. We even have our local community t-shirt. The photo below as taken a few months back, but it was all worth it! Pokemon Go had enable me to know a lot more neighborhood members, and to discover a lot more "short-cuts" en-route to certain gym raiding. What's more, was that one of the member even helped me during one of the raid, as my car was down due to worn-out car battery. We are not just playing games together, but also leaning towards to become a huge local family. I guess, that's what other players had missed, if they are "spoofing" or "botting" 

I had played much less now, as I had been occupied with more busy schedule from my work and family matters. However, I am still playing this Pokemon Go whenever I am free. In addition to that, Pokemon Go now had launched new features to have friends around the globe, and enable trading as well!

Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds (2017)

Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds (2017)



This became a rising sensational movie, where it catches the audience attention by becoming the top Malaysia Weekend Box Office for January 18-21, 2018 (TheMalayMailOnline, 2018). Not surprising to me, as I personally felt that Korean dramas, and movies has been keeping up on par, that it might surpass my favor from Hong Kong drama to Korean drama. 



"Along With The gods: The Two Worlds", has one great element within the story, which brought up the value of living as a human-being, and how it affect your afterlife. Each and every stages of the story-line, made me teared-up. Perhaps, my inner-soul do agree with you reap what you sow. One might find it too fantasized, but for me, nothing is beyond impossible, especially for imagination. Hence, be well geared-up, for onion ninjas will be there, cutting tonnes of onions. 



Story of a nobleman died, and how he is being judge in the afterlife, and the dignity that he had lived all these while until the moment of death is challenged by appointed death-prosecutor. For those whose belief rely heavily on karma, this can be quite awakening. Good deeds repaid with good...

Watch how this nobleman go through his 7 trials in the afterlife, along with the appointed grim reaper advocates in the world ruled by Yeomra. There are some humorous element slotted in between the trials which tickles and made the movie plot elevated from sadness to curious, from furious to sympathies, from foe to friend, from sin to forgiveness, and a lot more of such flavor of life being integrated in the movie plot.



Recommended to watch it, as the story-line had been beautifully plotted and acted by the movie cast. It has a plot-twist too... and I am anticipating for it Part II.

PTPTN repayment under budget 2017 discount





You can now withdraw EPF account 2 to repay PTPTN (under education category) and enjoy the incentive given under budget 2017.

It is indeed quite an attractive offer for those (like me) who had yet finished repayment to PTPTN.



Lets look at the SOP for such withdrawal.

Go to PTPTN website and search for Bajet 2017 icon. Click on it to enter the statement page.

You can refer to you initial offer letter for your loan number. However, if you had lost any trace of your loan number, you might need to call PTPTN at +603-2193 3000 to inquire for your loan number.

Then, PTPTN officer will start to register into EPF system for education withdrawal. The procedure would not take more than 15 minute. PTPTN officer will advice on the amount to repay PTPTN (it might be slightly more, as PTPTN charges admin fees if the account enter their accounting month after 27th each per month). According to PTPTN officer, they will refund the extra within two to three months time into our EPF account.

Lets take a look at your EPF i-Account login, once you had the withdrawal application submitted via any PTPTN kiosk.

When you log into your EPF i-account, you can click into secured message to check on the update from EPF. Then, they will send in a sms notification to your registered mobile phone number, and you are required to being along documents such as your original and photocopied Malaysia ID, original and photocopied transcript, and lastly original and photocopied scroll from the University/Institution that you had registered to loan this PTPTN. You are given about two weeks time to verify the withdrawal at any nearest EPF counter. If you failed to submit these documents for verification with the two weeks duration, you will have to go through the initial registration at PTPTN kiosk again. Hence, please ensure you will be in the country to run this errand.

As for my submission, EPF had received all relevant documents and verified my thumb prints for withdrawal. However, there is still pending update from PTPTN. According to EPF officer, PTPTN tends to be slower in updating their system upon receiving on the amount. Hence, I was advised to make a call to PTPTN officer to inquire about the repayment settlement after five working days of the EPF verification. 

***update: called PTPTN careline, and the customer service had kindly informed that it might take up to 14 days for the payment to be updated in PTPTN system.***

***update: PTPTN officer had released the settlement letter to me via my registered email with PTPTN. The extra payment had also refunded into my local bank account. However, I had yet to check on the CCRIS removal, as it require me to check with Bank Negara Malaysia.
