November - December ‘12

The last blog post that I had was back in November 30th and now it is a new year already, wow!

What had I been doing in the past one month?

Actually I was back in Penang but since my mom needed help desperately, they asked for my return to Kuching for another month. Apart helping out at the store, I worked on their Facebook page.

December was a busy and challenging month for The Little Pet Shop. Long story short, we managed to pull it through.

Therefore, to find our more about The Little Pet Shop, do visit our Facebook fan page, alright?

Oh, by the way, I had received a job offer in Penang and currently started working back in Penang, hurray! More story later..

October - November

I cannot believe that I had not blogged for more than a month! The last post I did was the day before I left Penang to Kuching.

So what had I been doing over in Kuching?

Well, apart from indulging myself with local delights that I had truly missed, I was working at a pet shop.

I was basically helping out at the shop as well as showering and blow drying the dogs. As I advanced further, I started to learn basic grooming. It was not easy as we are dealing with animals, not human beings, so it was not under control, always.

Though there were a lot of works to be done and you will always get yourself worn out at the end of the day, it was truly enjoyable and trust me, time flies really fast! There were indeed frustration moments but they did not last for long. Every single day you will always have new things to laugh at, to be happy with, and to be proud of.

I truly learned a lot during my one month experience there and probably I should venture into pet grooming profession? We shall see..

Lovely Sunday!

It has been a long time since I had a lovely Sunday with the boyfriend, with just the two of us. We were supposed to wake up really early in the morning to jog at Botanical Garden. However, since the boyfriend did not get a chance to sleep for all the day for many weeks, I decided not to wake him up when the alarm rang.

When we were finally up by noon time, we went to I Mum Mum Restaurant. A friend of mine had shared with me that their pan mee is really good. Therefore, I decided to hunt for this restaurant. Since none of us had ever been to that restaurant, it was not that easy to locate its location. It was quite hidden in the midst of the flats though but, once you managed to locate it, you knew it was not that difficult at all.

I ordered Pan Mee Soup since it had been my favourite all along, especially the hand-shredded ‘teared’ dough. The soup is really flavourful and believe it or not, for a person who usually waste her food, she finished everything, not even a drop of soup in her bowl. However, the portion is very small which costs RM3.00 only; bigger portion will be RM3.50.

The boyfriend ordered Dry Pan Mee and it is similarly good to my Pan Mee Soup with mine better. It costs RM3.00 which comes with small portion. An advice for those who want to try their pan mee, it is best to order bigger portion. With two glasses of iced Chrysanthemum, the meal only costs us RM8.20 which is superb.

Do take note that I Mum Mum Restaurant opens from 7am to 3pm and they closed every alternate Monday.

After our meal, we decided to head over to Queensbay Mall. We wanted to watch a movie but GSC is not showing Ted so, we turned back to head over to 1st Avenue. Since the next showing was 4.10pm, we had a lot of time to kill. We strolled inside the mall and checked out the event run inside the mall, Model Search.

When we were taking a short break at Old Town White Coffee, we realised that we were going to be late for our movie. The boyfriend was saying ‘We are usually late for movies when we come from home. Can’t believe that we are also late when we are already inside the mall.’ Honestly...

It was a truly good comedy movie with lots of laughter filled the air. Though a few scenes were bring cut out, for example the screenshot above, all the rude words were not being censored. This movie revolves a lonely boy named John who received a large teddy bear for Christmas named Ted. John made a wish against a falling star that his cuddly friend became alive. Funny and touching movie, trust me.

After movie, we headed to Gurney Plaza to join some friends for dinner at Bar-B-Q Plaza before we called it a day. It was somewhat an enjoyable meal and we had a great talk and laugh together. I will be away from Penang for a week so I really enjoyed yesterday and I wished for more to come when I get back.
