Mark your calendars for Buy 1 Free 1 Subway

Mark your calendars this Wednesday, 27 June 2012 for Buy 1 free 1* Subway, in Malaysia only. I saw this on my Facebook newsfeed and thought I can share it out here to let my readers know~ 

So, here's my lunch for this Wednesday, I'm guessing the queue should be pretty long :P

Road trip to Sekinchan

Made a detour through the coastal roads on the way back from hometown to drop by at Sekinchan for a half day trip. The weather was perfect, blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Very sunny, indeed.

Sekinchan was made popular to tourists and city folks after the local Chinese drama 'The Seeds of Life'. The large green 'field', sometimes golden brown when it is near harvesting and blue sky are perfect for photography.

From the main road, after the signboard of Sekinchan, you can make a left turn (coming from the North), or if you're coming from KL then it's right turn after seeing Site B, or Jalan Tali Air 5. You'll come into these paddy fields and can drive next to it.

If you like to visit the paddy processing plants or buy some pearl rice, go ahead on Jalan Tali Air 5 to a paddy processing factory, PLS Marketing. It's hard to miss with the tour buses which frequents the place.

I stopped by for lunch at Restoran Guan Seng Long at Bagan Sekinchan. Bagan Sekinchan is on the other side of the road, opposite the place where you turn in for paddy fields. Look out for signboard for Jalan Bagan Sekinchan. There are a lot of eateries down the road of Jalan Bagan Sekinchan.

shark meat soup (RM12)

 mantis shrimp with salted egg yolk (RM11)

Vegetables (RM6)

All these with drinks and rice for only RM47.60. I don't think I can get any dishes like this in KL for that price. Yummy and cheap!

After lunch, we drove down Jalan Bagan Sekinchan to the fishing villages.

The next attraction at Sekinchan is the Redang beach. Went there at about 4-5pm, and it was low-tide, so no pretty beach for me. I'll be back next time to see the beautiful sunset.

Drive along the way and pass through the fishing villages and a chinese temple, the left turn to Redang beach is before a Malay eatery, and you'll see a sign which says Pantai Redang.

Sekinchan make a good day trip for city folks like us, to just leave behind the hustle bustle of the city. :)

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all daddies out there :)

I love you papa.. :)

Weekend Premiere of London, The Summer Musical at Sunway Lagoon

I had the opportunity to attend the weekend premiere of the London, Summer Musical show at Sunway Lagoon's amphitheater. It's an event for Sunway Property pals and tickets are courtesy of Sunway Property.

I managed to capture some photos with my iphone, so here they are. :)

Sunway Lagoon had been hosting a few musicals from West End Production which include the Magical Musicals and Peter Pan the Musical last year. They are all amazing!

The choreography for this year's Summer Musical is so energetic and the dancers are really talented, with very good vocal too.

The London Musical starts off by with three chirpy stewardesses who have 48 hours in London before flying off again. They gave up their dreams of singing to do travelling and through finding love and romance in London, they rediscover their passion for singing and performing. 

You'll be entertained with hit songs from the 70s including tracks from Mamma Mia, Glee, The Lion King, James Bond movies and many more. I lost track of how many songs were featured in this musical, but they were all good. :)

Some funny moments are included in the show with short appearances of The Phantom of Opera, Harry Potter and ET. Go watch it and be amazed :)

The show has two session with 10minutes break in between and lasted for about 2 hours. 

A great show to catch if you're a fan of musicals, dance and songs!

London, The Summer Musical by West End Production will be playing at Sunway Lagoon from 1st June - 8th July 2012.

Daily shows (except Tuesdays) at 8pm, and tickets are from RM80.
