[Videos] My Atomy Order, Mr. Koo Tonic Soup, Musical Performances, etc.



Above is my recent order of Atomy products; consisting of Atomy Absolute Cell Active of 6 pieces. Plus 2 nice baby-pink boxes of mooncakes with 4 flavours, 2 boxes of Puer Tea and Absolute Spot Out Cream for my business partner, due to advance aging. Check out the cool video above.



This video above was taken before the pandemic, during happier times, where people could roam around freely without wearing a mask nor fear of contracting Covid-19. It was taken during a performance by Caucasians, for obvious reasons, as it was an international musical entertainment during our short holidays.



The afore video was shot at Gurney Hall in Gurney Plaza, a premier shopping mall in Penang. See the healthy food by Mr. Koo tonic (a medicinal substance taken to give a feeling of vigour or well-being) soup. Apparently the herbs and chicken drumstick are double-boiled to infuse the flavors into the water to become delicious soup.



Here is a Sunday Blessings of a nice Insta picture.



Happy Mid Autumn Festival. One can only order at the most 2 boxes of mooncakes each. It has cappucino, low sugar lotus seed, pandan and lotus seed with an egg yolk flavors. I purchased 2 boxes to give to my mom and church friend, and also to myself. It is freshly made with care in Malaysia, with quality control. Each box is about RM 83, which is almost double that in the market. But for the convenience of delivering right to my place, I don't mind paying premium price for this.



Here is a snapshot of the Atomy Absolute Cellactive set,retailing for RM 880. The market price for similar products using SK-II or other branded cosmetics would have been in the range of RM2k or more. But at Atomy, it is only RM 880, which is a great bargain. As an agent for Atomy, you can contact me at 0111-6694988 with free membership, free registration, no monthly minimum order, no monthly maintenance and no nothing. Just spend using your Atomy e-commerce shopping mall platform to earn cash back.

[Videos] Healed in Jesus' Name, Unboxing, Why Work Hard, etc.



“Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs, they shall eat it. Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire — its head with its legs and its entrails.” Exodus 12:8–9



Why do we need to work hard? Simple. To sustain ourselves in this pandemic with an emergency buffer fund through years of saving.



A short video on the unboxing of Gary Levox's (a celebrity Christian singer in the USA) personally signed poster. As a blogger, I get the priviledge, of reviewing kinds of stuff for free, paid, or otherwise.



See the fancy color instagram picture above from my account. I love the rainbow colors and a happy mesage of "Good Morning."



Do everything with a good heart, and expect nothing in return, and you will never be disappointed.

With the Delta and Lambda variant, stay at home, stay safe and stay healthy. That's it for this week's post.

[Videos] Macalister Road Nasi Lemak, Light Decorations at the Penang Esplanade, etc.



Penang Georgetown Nasi Lemak at Macalister Road. Located diagonally opposite the junction of Lorong Abu Siti and Red Rock Hotel. The place is known as Macalister Signature Food Court at Macalister Road, Penang (MS Food Court).

GEORGE TOWN: A husband and wife took retrenchment in their stride and, after some hard work, are now whipping up nasi lemak that has become the talk of the town. Hana Batrisya Zainol, 23, was a flight attendant while her husband Muhammad Nur Azizee Roslan, 24, was a flight caterer.

They lost their jobs in the airline industry last November following travel curbs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, they mastered their parents’ nasi lemak recipe, tweaking the sambal to suit current tastes.

“We got the sambal recipe from both our parents and improvised it to suit our tastebuds. We had the idea to start a business in January and not just sit at home.

“Luckily, our parents are supportive and they help us with the cooking and packing, ” said Hana Batrisya.

It is hard work where the couple and their parents have to wake up at 5.30am to prepare the ingredients.

“Our nasi lemak is prepared fresh every day. Initially, business was slow but things picked up through word of mouth, ” she said at her stall at a food court in Macalister Road here recently.

The couple now sells about 1,000 packets of nasi lemak a day, priced between RM1.50 and RM4.50 depending on extra ingredients like chicken, prawn, or fish.

Their standard nasi lemak is the classic Malaysian dish served with half a hard-boiled egg, deep-fried anchovies, and groundnuts, and with the gravy-like sambal spilled liberally over the rice.

Hana Batrisya has an advantage when it comes to building rapport with their customers as she is fluent in Malay, English, Mandarin, Hokkien, and Bahasa Indonesia.

“My father is Chinese. Hokkien is actually my mother tongue.

“Since my mother’s family is from Indonesia, I picked up Bahasa Indonesia from her, ” she added.

Business at the stall starts at 8am and there will often be a queue until the nasi lemak is gone, which is usually around 1pm.

Aquaculturist Bryan Teh, 44, came back for the dish the second time after trying it a few days ago.

“The nasi lemak is delicious and they are very generous with the sambal. For a person who likes spicy food, the sambal is the ‘bomb’.

“I’ve tried all of their specialties and decided to come back as the taste is good and the price is reasonable, ” he said.

Retired teacher Majemin Shafie, 66, said she decided to give the nasi lemak a try after her friend shared pictures of the dish with her.

“After seeing the photos, I wanted to try it instead of my usual breakfast of noodles. I ordered nasi lemak with fish and the price was reasonable, ” she said.

Construction site manager Lim Boon Chye, 52, saw the queue of nasi lemak buyers and decided to line up, too.

“I came to see a doctor nearby and saw the queue. I decided to take away a few packets for my family to try after getting recommendations from my friend, ” he said.



Walking around The Esplanade in Penang, while immersing in the wonderful light decorations representing the various countries' theme - from China, Japan, USA, India, Australia, England, Dubai, etc.

The Esplanade is a waterfront location in the heart of George Town, Penang, Malaysia. It covers the field adjacent to Fort Cornwallis, known locally as the Padang, and the seaside promenade along the edge of the field.

The Esplanade Penang is also known as Padang Kota Lama in Malay.



Above is an Instagram picture of Happy Sunday quotes and Good Morning today. Don't you like the blue theme and daisies? I find them unique and decided to post it here.



Here are smileys that are cute and a Good Morning message to start off the day well! Stay safe and stay healthy in this pandemic.

[Videos] The Ministry of Health Malaysia starts Ivermectin Trial and DgnPet.com Dog Collar



The Ministry of Health Malaysia starts the Ivermectin trial, for high-risk COVID-19 patients.

According to Wikipedia, Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations. In humans, this includes head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis. In veterinary medicine, it is used to prevent and treat heartworm and acariasis, among other indications. It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.



This is a sponsored video on DgnPet.com Dog Collar. The sponsor wanted to edit my video a little and put it on Amazon. So, I let her have the .MOV file which is a very large one and took some time to email over. So, far she loves my work and had been sending over the pet items for review and videos for her clients.



Above is an Instagram picture on the 10 rules of Ikigai that resembles closely to the scriptures in the Bible. Hence, I put it here for myself to refer to and also for you, my dear friends. I keep reading over and over again to refer to this piece of nuggets of wisdom in life, in friendship and everything else, other than the Bible.



That's me taken in a cruise - Quantum of the Seas, before Covid-19 strikes. Now I am waiting for a date for my vaccination and God knows only when. In the meantime, stay positive, stay happy and stay healthy. Keep the Malaysian politics out of your mind to stay sane, people. Have a wonderful weekend.

[Videos] Palm Sunday, Coco Island Street Food, Sungai Pinang Food Court Paradise and RIP Brother Kelvin Chan



This video is about the street food of Coco Island by Bali Thai along the Gurney Drive Road in Penang Island. Check out the various street food stalls ranging from 'char koay teow,' seafood and vegetables, 'sotong bakar' or baked calamari, Italian pasta, Taiwanese noodles, 'wanton noodles,' 'bak kut teh,' Japanese food, Chinese food, Western food, etc. You need to check out this eatery.

Address: 104, Persiaran Gurney 10250 Penang.
Contact: 064-226 2633
Operation Hours: 7:00am -12:00am (Open Daily)

Since today is Palm Sunday, check out my various curated pictures on Palm Sunday on my Instagram account by clicking on the '>' icon on the right.

From Wikipedia, Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week, the last week of the Christian solemn season of Lent that precedes the arrival of Eastertide.

In most liturgical churches, Palm Sunday is celebrated by the blessing and distribution of palm branches (or the branches of other native trees), representing the palm branches which the crowd scattered in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem. The difficulty of procuring palms in unfavorable climates led to their substitution with branches of native trees, including box, olive, willow, and yew. The Sunday was often named after these substitute trees, as in Yew Sunday, or by the general term Branch Sunday.

Many churches of mainstream Christian denominations, including the Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, Moravian and Reformed traditions, distribute palm branches to their congregations during their Palm Sunday liturgies. Christians take these palms, which are often blessed by clergy, to their homes where they hang them alongside Christian art (especially crosses and crucifixes) or keep them in their Bibles or devotionals.



If you click on the '>' button on the right side, you will see our dear brother Kelvin's niche in the 3rd photo. Though I have never met up with him, despite him suggesting that we meet up on Atomy during MCO, he is like a big brother to me. He was a very successful banker, worked in Alliance bank for 20 years or so in the housing loan department, and had the power to approve bank loans to borrowers to buy houses. He would have been 53 years of age this March 2021, had he not suffered a massive cardiac arrest at home. Guess being single and missing his dearly departed mum since September last year, plus pay cut, it was just too much to handle in this path of life filled with stress, pandemic, etc.

Anyway, brother Kelvin was my only Atomy member who could purchase from the eCommerce website on his own, amongst my 30 sleeping Atomy members. Kelvin Chan is now happily holding hands with his mum in heaven looking down at us mortals.



The video above was done and compiled by yours truly. This video is on Sungai Penang Food Court Paradise in Penang. Various hawker stalls, fresh fish, fish soup rice vermicelli, etc. with funky and soothing music. 😎😍😁 Check out the "Good Morning" pictures and Sunday Blessings where you can click on the ">" icon to swipe left for more beautiful banners.



As usual, before I end this post, Stay Safe, Stay Happy and Healthy. Have a good weekend!
