Orange roses from Alice Florist

Posted in Good Things, Just For Fun, Online Store by

When I was a medical student in Preston, I often frequented my local grocery store and grabbed a simple bouquet of flowers. Simply because it looks pretty by my window. Flowers are somehow not a thing in Malaysia. Yes, you get flowers for special occasions. But less likely on days where ‘you just feel like it’ or ‘just because’. Hence, giving flowers became a seasonal and special occasion gesture only. The thing is, I am one of those ‘just because’ people. I would love my desk to have a vase of them ever so often.

Hence, can you imagine my joy when I saw this florist selling a minimalist option? No fancy paper or wrap. Just fresh flowers in brown paper. They are so budget-friendly.

I stumbled upon this option during one of my doomscroll days on GRAB. It was priced at RM26.50 per bouquet from Alice Florist, Jalan ONG KIM WEE. I immediately ordered it and had it delivered to my house. I bought 3 because I wanted to give them to my friends. Indeed, I received those mini packages of happiness in less than an hour. They were out of pink roses, but I was equally happy with the orange ones. Now, if only my husband could get me one of these every fortnight. That will be great. Ha ha.

A gift to my FYP supervisor

Posted in Good Things, Just For Fun by

I received my FYP marks. I got 83. That’s an A. Although my GPA is in progress, I am already thrilled and elated with my scores. I felt that my hard work and unintentional breakdown episodes were justified.

The first person I thought of was my supervisor, Dr Juliana. I wanted to give her something as a token of appreciation for the relentless support and motivation given to me throughout my 1-year journey of doing FYP. It was no easy feat. Even in medical school, there was no similar concept of FYP involved. However, I do have to note that the final exams for medical school were killing me. Ha ha. Even then, FYP was a different ballgame altogether.

I searched for florists and gift shops within Dr Ju’s campus. My brain was finding it very difficult to fathom the geography of KL and Selangor. I had to use Google Maps to see if the shop was within acceptable delivery distance ranges. Finally, I spotted a place called Petals & Chocs at Seri Kembangan. An order was placed and I had it delivered to my supervisor at her campus.

I added another 3 roses to this gift selection.

Alhamdulilah, my supervisor received it well. It was the least I could do for her constant guidance and prayers.

Ramadan is coming soon. I have started searching for suitable gifts for my friends and family.

Public Gold – evolving insights

Posted in Good Things, Mini Project by

Ask anybody who saves in GOLD, and they would probably say they wished they started early. Including myself. I honestly thought that gold would never be in my life because I don’t wear jewellery. I was so wrong.

Personally, I love saving gold with PG because it allows me to do so without any pressure or hard selling. I can stay in my own zone, saving gold at my own pace and within my budget. There’s a supportive WhatsApp group available, and I can casually reach out to my Introducer if I have any questions. Most of the time, I prefer doing my own research and managing everything independently—it’s truly an introvert’s paradise. Even as an Introducer/Priority Dealer, there are no targets to meet to maintain my status. My primary focus with PG is simply to grow my personal assets.

Naturally, I have come to a stage where I feel compelled to share the benefits of saving gold with PG. Hence, I am open to discussing this with a small group of people. In Melaka. Preferably at a place where there is an internet connection so that it will be easier to demonstrate it online. If it is a cosy group (less than 10 people), 1.5 to 2 hours is enough for a sharing session. No charge for me to be present but having food or drinks during our discussion would be nice. Ha ha ha.

CTDK – Cinta di awan concert

Posted in Good Things, Just For Fun, Music by

A million thanks to this SitiZoner who shared her moment at CTDK’s concert at Genting Highland. The concert lasted just over 2 hours and it definitely showcased CTDK’s strength as an experienced performer. There was never a moment of boredom. The songs were sung beautifully and putting lyrics on the big screen was a genius touch!

I had no idea that I still remembered some of the song lyrics on top of my head although I haven’t listened to it for quite a while.

CTDK’s cute personality came through which is why she is Malaysia’s songbird, loved by all. Including those who were born past her prime times. I hope that one day I get to see her in a live concert again.

Wrapping up my Youtube channel early for 2023

Posted in Hobby/Interest, Leisure & Travel by

We are 2 weeks shy into 2024 but I have decided to upload my last Youtube video for the year. It is about my trip to MIRI for the wedding in early this month. I also added a snippet of my planning for 2024 in my MUJI PLANNER.

Now that my formal exams for psychology are done – I thought I should delve into ideas for my final year project. Once that is sorted, I could carry out the project and just like that, my degree is over. Then, if there is rezeki of time and money, I could apply for the Master’s programme at UKM as a part-time learner.

Here is my final video for 2023. I produced only 14 videos this year instead of over 20 in 2022. Still, I admire my persistence (lol) in keeping up with the video editing despite the time and commitment constraints I had this year. Good job Minci for the little battles you won.

Here it is guys, MIRI in video.
