Its Wedding month .... December

December . It is the final month of the year . What's the famous things that happened in this month ? The answer is holiday . Yes ... holiday , most of the people take leave , spends time with their family either outbound or inbound . Other than that it is also known as wedding month . Take as an example , I got so many wedding invitation on this month . One of my invitation come from my close friend , Shoib . His daughter is getting marry . The venue of the wedding was at TMCC , Bangsar . The place was huge and suitable for a grand wedding . Congratulation Shoib and family !

Since the wedding occasion is at Bangsar so I choose to stay at Eastin Hotel . The hotel is 5 star and located at Philleo Damansara . Just next to The Star and Siemens Office . The neighbourhood mostly consists of offices building and that explain why it is very quiet during weekends . What's I observed there is a new LRT station just in front of the hotel (in which it is already in operation now ). This is an added value to the hotel as the guest can go anywhere just walking to the LRTstation and rides to the tourist places in Bangsar , Damansara and Kuala Lumpur either for visit or shopping .

The Eastin Hotel itself is very good and comfortable . Its' a 5 star hotel . The breakfast provided is tasteful and had many choices . The swimming pool and the gym is worth to try to reflex yourself or build up your muscle . Recommended to stay here if you need more privacy and calm environment .

Two days in Damansara

Two day and one night in Damansara . This is our first stay at Damansara area since before this when we do shopping at IKEA , we always stayed in KL . As usual , I go thru Agoda website and there are several choices of hotel to stay at this area namely Qliq Damansara hotel , One World Hotel , The Royal Chulan Damansara hotel and Royale bintang @the curve . After browse thru the website , finally I choose Qliq Damansara hotel which is located at Empire Building . For those who like to stay at homestay concept , you can rent the apartment/Condo which is also offered by Agoda at the same building .

The hotel lobby is spacious and beautifully decorated . The staff is very friendly including the security . If you drive , it is very confusing where to park your car but with the help of the security things can be settled easily .
The hotel room is very comfortable and clean . The indoor swimming pool also very nice . The hotel located at very peaceful location and is very near to Neo Damansara , IKEA , The Curve and TESCO .
Within the hotel area itself , you can find a lot of eating places and as a hotel guest , you can get 10% discount if you drinks or have your meals at Starbuck .

Most of the days , we spends ourself shopping at IKEA and The Curve . Recommended to stay here if you want to buy household products at IKEA .

Meals Ready to Eats Foods for vacations ( Malaysian cuisine )

Brahim's products

Breakfast Like A King
Lunch Like A Prince
Dinner Like a Pauper

The verbs seems familiar to us . It's can be practice while you are in your own town , but those who's travel overseas normally will face different kind of music , breakfast , lunch and dinner like a pauper . This is due to halal foods requirement which is not easy to find , and also devaluation of our myr currency compared to major currency in the world thus caused the foods there become very expensive .

But please don't be sad , you can buy Brahim's products which is suitable for Malaysian based on 9 varians of rice menu which are Nasi Goreng Kampung , Nasi Goreng Ayam , Nasi Tomato , Nasi Cendawan dan keju , Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin , Nasi Beriyani Ayam , Nasi Beriyani Kambing , Nasi Lemak Ikan Bilis and Nasi Arab Kambing . The concept is Meals Ready to Eat ( MER ) . It's good for your nutrition and energy in which every 120 gram of Brahim's product , it will give you 230 to 500 calorie .

For tourists or foreigners who fell in love with Malaysian cuisine while holidaying here , you can buy and bring back home . You can prepared and eat it if you really missed Malaysian cooking ...

The preparation is simple and easy . Save money and time consuming . You can eat directly or heated up by using microwave or soaked or boiled in hot water for 8 minutes . You can read through the instruction at the back of the product's pack for details .

3D2N cool holiday at Intekma Resort Shah Alam

Booked for 3D2N at Intekma Resort and Convection Center at Shah Alam for Premier Deluxe room via Agoda.com during last Divali holidays . This is our first stayed at this resort . From the review , its seems that most of people downgrade this resort due to the dated and quite environment which is eerie to some of them . At first , I really reluctant to book this hotel . But wait , I should give a try ....cause different people have different perception and different experienced through out their stayed .

This resort situated at section 2 which is near to Uitm . Once we arrived , we can see clearly the building facade by the roadside . There are a lot of cars and people at the hotel compound . The resort look like an apartment style . The area of the resort is big with a lot of tree and buildings . The buildings look a little bit ageing to me . The friendly guard asked me to park the car nearby for check in . He remind not to take out our luggage since we can drive and park our car at the nearest of our room after check in .

At reception counter , the staff is very friendly . He politely give answer whatever question that you asked . For example , referring to so many people , there are company reunion and wedding functions or events held on that days . By the way the resort is also fully booked . Even though it is full but the area still quite and peaceful due to the large area of the resort .

After check in , I drove my car towards our room which is located at apartment block 7 followed the maps sketch by the receptionist . The area is hilly and cold due to a lot of tree . Block 7 looks like newly refurbished apartment . Our room is at the highest floor . The room is spacious , clean and comfortable . The view from our room is beautiful especially at night , we can see Shah Alam city , the blue mosque and the spacious swimming pool . The free WIFI is very good with a fast speed . The set back only the breakfast , the choices is limited but the taste is ok .

Overall we have a nice stayed at this resort . Popular tag line of this place is ," the resort within the city " .

Among others activity :
1. Shopping at Aeon section 23 .
2. Lunch at SACC .
3. Visit relatives at BBB.
4. Attend my friend's daughter wedding at Melor Garden Wedding @ Sungai Rambal .
5. Send my sweetie to UIAM PJ for her University registration day . Wish you good luck my dear . Study hard and smart in order to achieved your goal .
