inception- in REAL!!

when the world is trying their best to reserve their own heritage and culture, yet here...

those were the olden days of jalan sultan- where...

   family inherit their traditional skills and kept passing to the next generation

                                                        people earn their livings throughout their whole entire life

                                                                where this is a place call HOME

                                                                   where there are plenty of stories

                                                                                        then

                                                                                        and NOW

                                                 goodbye to jalan sultan- the whole jalan sultan
                                             goodbye to all the tasty food, to lifestyle, to memories

           one day, the only way for your kids to know our heritage and culture is only via drawings and photos.

when you have a city with only new skyscrapers and without any historical elements- would you wish to visit?
your museums/art galleries have no references/sources/ORIGINALITY- as you've lost the multi-cultural & historical background?
THANK YOU jalan sultan, it's my pleasure to be able to have you in my growing up memories.
you will always be in my mind.

R.I.P my beloved Jalan Sultan.

i love loccitane's birthday card- EVERY YEAR!!

*drums roll*
woohoo~happy birthday to myself!!
on this special day, i always wanted to thank my lovely mummy, kindest daddy, cutest grandparents, best brother & sister and the greatest man that love me forever!!
for everyday that i went through, they are the one who gave me strength, endless love and support.
because of their love to me, i never felt alone or afraid to venture further.
i am so proud of my family that i wish to have them again in my coming life.
having them is already my dream came true.
god bless my family and i love you all~!! xo

*note:
i always love my birthday card from l'occitane and i kept them every year.
i knew this is one of the generic card that they are using throughout that year. but the photo was too nice that you felt they are taking this specially for you.
thank you l'occitane's team for the heart-warming birthday card (the picture rocks~!!)

walking on gurney drive- you find plenty nice food there!!

where i have my dinnersSss- yummyy!!

a city that's full of heritage (well reserved), food, humanity, greens, convenience.
the fact that you see how the people protect and staying in the old buildings that makes the city even prettier!!

psssst~don't forget to try out the nasi kandar(rice with variety curry dishes) in a small alley named LINE CLEAR, you will regret throughout your ENTIRE LIFE if you missed it!!
