Window shopping at The Mines

The last time I've been to this shopping mall was probably years ago, when it was still known as Mines Shopping Fair.  CapitaMalls Asia had transformed this shopping mall with a brand new look and launched its new name and logo as The Mines on March 10, 2010.  

The uniqueness of this shopping mall is that the water canal that connects the former tin mines lakes, the North Lake and the South Lake, goes right through its complex.  One may enjoy the panoramic lake views on the water taxi tour and experience the 7-metre high water lift which connects the North Lake and South Lake.

Located at Jalan Dulang, Mines Resort City, Seri Kembangan, it is not exactly a place I'll go for shopping.

Even with the major revamp, it still doesn't attract me as a shopper. Spent only about an hour walking around in the mall and ended up leaving the mall empty-handed ~ which does not always happen ~ Maybe I'll come back in a few years' time and see if it's still the same.

Till next week, let's shop elsewhere.

Dinner at Joe Joe Restaurant

I'm sure by now, a lot of people have heard of Groupon.  It is a website which features deals on restaurants, beauty, health, spa, travel, leisure, fashions, car care, home services, books, sports and more for up to 90% discounts. The deal, however, can only take place when a predetermined minimum number of people buy the deal.  In other words, the deal is on when there is enough people buy it.  

I was not interested at first but it keeps appearing on my facebook page that I decided to just see what is it all about.  One deal caught my attention and I bought it.  It's for 2 Local Main Dishes + Mango Pudding for 2 at Joe Joe Restaurant for RM16 instead of RM34.76. The restaurant is located at Viva Home.  We used that voucher for dinner last Thursday.  

We chose to have pineapple fried rice

~ fried rice with salted fish, chicken and prawns served in pineapple topped with savoury sliced papaya ~

seafood noodles

~ noodles cooked with prawns, fish green mussels, crabsticks, mushroom and carrot ~

and the mango pudding

~ pudding with fresh cut mango, mango juice and evaporated milk ~
looks like an egg yolk eh?

Till next week, let's check out if there is anymore attractive deals...

Medical check-up at KLSMC

This year we are entitled to claim for medical check-up biennially so I took the opportunity to go and do one.

I googled for the health screening packages offered in KL and I decided to do it at Kuala Lumpur Sports Medicine Centre.  Guess it never occurred to anyone to do it there, huh?  Their General package of RM288 consists of the following:
* Medical history review
* Physical examination
* Resting electrocardiograph (ECG)
* Free radical test (urine)
* Health screening profile:

• Full blood count
• Lipid profile
• Liver function test
• Renal function test
• Hepatitis B
• Urine FEME
• VDRL
• ABO Grouping & Rh
• Free thyroxine (FT4)
• Rheumatoid factor (RF)
• HbA1c / Glycosylated Hb

When I got my results, I was so happy when the doctor said that it was a very good one and asked me to continue what I'm doing and eating now.  Guess I must have doing right whatever that is hmmmm.  However, the doctor noted that I did not drink enough water and advised me to drink sufficiently.

Till next week, drink a lot of water and stay healthy

Wedding reception at Restoran Makanan Laut Chong Fatt

Was invited to another ex-colleague's wedding reception on Sunday, October 2, 2011.

~door gift ~

I was seated with my colleagues at table no.2.  Never been seated near the main table and the stage before. So happy for the newly weds... errr not so new considering that they registered their marriage in May last year...

Till next week, looking forward to attend another wedding reception next month.
