Fly From Singapore To Kuala Lumpur

We all know how close Johor Bahru is to Singapore and vice versa. If we feel like crossing the border we're just a bus away. Just December last year, I went for a short day trip to Johor Bahru with 2 of my close friends that I have known since pri school. We all know there's this really famous "Ba Kut Teh" stall near KSL Mall but we opt for something different and went to a Korean restaurant instead. Their operating hours is from Mon–Sun: 12PM–12AM. Price range wise is really good for sharing. Portion wise is also very generous. We also visited the newly open Paradigm Mall and I saw news that they had open an Isaac Toast outlet. So being a die hard fan of the toast I had to give it a try.



Malaysia is known for their really good and affordable food and people just keep coming back for more. But do you know that all these does not just revolve around Johor? There are other parts of Malaysia such a Malacca, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. For instance, somewhere around late 2016 I went on a 3D2N getaway with my army friends, just to get a breather from the mundane things we do in camp.




But lucky I have friends that know how to drive, so we rented a car and drove around Malacca. The above mentioned are still accessible via vehicle in short distance but for longer distance such as Penang and Kuala Lumpur might take some time, so Traveloka Malaysia has approach me to share with my readers on what they have to offer. You can check out their link over here: Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore




It's easy booking and everything is pretty much idiot proof. On top of that, Traveloka also have 24/7 live chat so can rest assure that you'll get your enquiries answered pronto. You can also follow them at Twitter | Facebook | Instagram

B.E.A.S.T

Now when was the last time I blogged about my cafe hunt?!! Pardon me cuz I'm cooped up with serving the nations and I barely have any time to turn on my laptop and start editing my photos. So thank god for the long holidays now I managed to pull out some time to sit down and QC through all the photos that I've taken for the past 1-2 months.

So back in August I came across THE BEAST Cafe online and I thought why not give this Cafe a visit. Just nice it was Sunday and they only serve brunch menu on every Sunday from 10.00am - 5.00pm.

Despite me being super "kiasu" I made reservation cuz I was afraid that it might be packed. But to my surprise there isn't much of a crowd, or should I say, I could count the people there with just my bare hands. LOL!

THE BEAST Cafe is basically a bar that operates mainly at night during the week. A great place for friends to get together to chill after a long day at work.

Located at level 4, just head up to the escalator you'll see it already.

They have student meal at only $8.80! Not sure whether service charge and GST is already included??? But yea! It's stated $.8.80 in the menu, whatsmore, you get:

• Soup of the day
• Main course of either pasta or fish&chips
• Drinks (Ice Lemon Tea, Soft Drinks, or Mineral Water)
• And a dessert (Crepe or Pancake) Pancake you need to add extra $$$ if I'm not wrong

ALL FOR $.8.80 LEH!!!! MAI HIAM LIAO LAAA!!!

After having our lunch, we then walk around Cineleisure and then to scape, bought a new jelly case in red color (YAY ME) then to Somerset 313 Starbucks to chill.

Now on to the movie: The Journey (一路有你)


My say: Overall I find that the movie was kinda draggy at the beginning and it only got better at the middle. But nevertheless, great storyline. I teared when its towards the ending.

Not sure whether its based on a true story or not because the sub-title is in Mandarin and.... My mandarin isn't of a Chinese standard. (If you get what I mean).

I would rate it 3.5/5 ^.^y

AFTER THE MOVIE! We had dinner at Yoshinoya!



YEAP! THAT'S ABOUT IT! :)
Posting this photo before I end this post! Hahaha! Kee[ a lookout! The NEXT BIG THING is coming to you!!!

What I Do For Marketing

So hello all! This post is gonna be me sharing the things that I did for my entire Polytechnic year 2 journey in Temasek Polytechnic. Well if you guys don't know, I'm currently studying Diploma in Marketing. I can't say its completely boring or I hate it, its a mixture of good and bad if you'd ask me.

So throughout this whole year, I've had some modules that we had real life clients for our projects, clients such as Samsung, IKEA, Clinique and Lab Series. So when we're coming out with an idea, we will tend to create some videos for our projects, so here are some of it which me and my groupmates have created throughout our year 2 journey.

*DISCLAIMER*
I'm just sharing the videos that I have done for my school projects. So what you see for the ideas is just purely for project purposes and the brands you see inside is not liable for what is shown. So do take note, this is just for sharing purposes only. Thank you for your understanding.

Creative Campaign Project
For this project, our client is Samsung, and we have to create an event in school to raise awareness of Samsung's galaxy note 10.1, the great thing about this module is that Samsung generously loan us a tablet for each group in every class, and we get to play with it.

So here's the video that me and my groupmates created before the event, our main purpose for the video is to raise awareness and also to get students in school to go to our booth on the day itself.



Next up for component 2 of this project, we're required to come up with 5 ideas and to execute 1 of it. So my group decided on Samsung's Birthday Bash. Actually, we are also time constraint so we just had to make do with what we had at that point of time. So yea.



Advertising & Promotion
One of the module which I look forward to taking. I took this module during semester 2.2, which is recently la. We had to choose the types of media to place our advertisements in one of the component for this project, and my group chose TV Ads. Therefore we have to come up with a "TV Ads" kinda thing for our project presentation, so this is the video that we have come up with.



As you can see, the video above is slightly incomplete, this is because I uploaded the draft onto Youtube instead of the finalized one. But you guys get the idea! It's just the credit part is not done, the video that we did was somehow like what you've seen above.

Now before I end this post.
Here's a video that my group and I did for one of our Creative Campaign Project tutorial. Enjoy~

Harlem Shake x Gentlemen

Sorry for the amateur and bad video quality. 
P/S: I'm not a film or media student. 

Staycation @ W Hotel

This post is a bit backdated. On the 18th January, went for the staycation that I had won from Canon #IWantPixma contest. If you guys miss it, you can read the post about my win here -> http://www.donnlicious.com/2013/11/canon-i-want-pixma.html

ANYWAYS!
I asked afew friends to join me for the staycation, and also to catch up with one another la. ^.^

Was suppose to meet at 2pm, but ended up everyone reached Vivo City at 2.30pm++. But Nurul came early, so we decided to head to GIANT to get the things that we need first.





Look at the amount of things we bought! 7 Bottles of 1.5 litre drinks, 36 small packets of snacks, 2 cans of Pringles, 9 Cup Noodles. CRAZY!!! And its just for 5 people!!!



Took a cab in to Sentosa Cove instead of walking/taking the shuttle bus because the amount of things we had to carry was..... So yea!

A VIEW OF W RESIDENCE!

So peaceful and quiet! I RIKEEE!

The entrance of W Hotel! I was so excited cause it was my first time going into Sentosa Cove, the view is sooooo amazing!!

Their lobby! ITS HUGEEEEE!

Checked into our room, and got amazed by everything! Okay la, maybe its just me, cause I very easily contented one! Hahaha!

MANDATORY GROUP PHOTO WITH THE MIRROR!

The room is so awesome that you can even adjust the lighting to suit your liking. Its like some mood enhancer kind of thing la, I personally think this room is more for couples???


 
Movies are also available, but you must pay for it la, the price is stated there for the movie you have selected. For us, we just make do with the channels they have there.



They also have chargers for all sorts of phones, so you need not worry about not bringing your own. But its always better to have your own la, cuz you'll end up fighting for the charger with your friends. LOLOLOL!!!

 Necessities that you need! 

My friend is enjoying every second of her life in this room! Hahaha!

I also suggested that we have a post X'mas gift exchange just for the fun of it. But we still have 1 more friend that have yet to arrive, so we have to wait for him before we can start our gift exchange. You see the one that is wrapped the most ugly one.... THATS MINE! Hahahaa!

Having McSpicy and palaying UNO on bed, #EnjoyLife. 

Right after I instagram a photo saying how much I have longed to be able to have breakfast/lunch/dinner on hotel beds. I receive a call from the hotel's phone, asking me to open the door for his staff to enter my room. I was a bit shocked la, cause I don't know what for, until I open the door.



FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! OMG!!! I WAS SO HAPPY YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!
I've always wanted to have my breakfasts/lunch/dinner in my hotel room, and it finally came true!!!

There's like Satay, Wonton Mee, Chicken Rice, and Laksa! Shared it with my friends cause I've already had McSpicy! DAMNNN!

LE HAPPY ME WITH LE HAPPY FRIENDS!

Check out our messy room!

Soon after, it was night time. Time passes so fast when you're having fun! Went to shower at around 10pm because there's a horror/thriller show on Channel 5 soon after, whats more the show is until 12am+++, and I don't wanna bath at such a late timing, so yea! :D



Then soon, our friend arrived, at around 11pm++ near 12am. After he was done showering, we began our gift exchange! YAY! The long awaited gift exchange! Hahahaha!

Photo of the gifts that we have gotten, and after we have unwrapped our gifts.

After that, a few of them went to sleep while I stayed awake to do my work (FREAKING PROJECT!!!)
But it didn't took me long enough to doze off. I was too tired! Hahaha!

Woke up around 8am??? When I saw the morning view, I couldn't help it but to snap a picture of it!!!



Since we have some time left before check out, I decided to check out the facilities of W Hotel. Together with a friend of course! Hahaha!

When we walk out of the lift, we were greeted by this! Can't help but to take a photo with it! Hahah!



Located at level 1, there's a lobby, a spa, gym and when you walk further down to the open area, thats where the swimming pool is.

After exploring the facilities, we then went to have our complimentary breakfast! ♥

After we had our breakfast, we then went back to our room. Took a few more pictures before checking out!

 

But sadly, its time to say goodbye!

Yeap! That's all for my post on my staycation at W Hotel! Hope you guys enjoyed reading/browsing it! Hahaha! I shall end this post with a selfie! Toodles~
