Book Review - My James by Ralph Bulger

Right, so I recently started to read this book by Ralph Bulger. I actually got this book during Big Bad Wolf last year, only RM10.

This book tells the story of a little boy name James, he is only 2 years and 11 months year old when he was murder by 2 ten year old kids. ( Jon Venables and Robert Thomson ) . It was written by his father Dad, with input from other sources too.

Reading this book about the death of a person so young as James definately is hard to take it. He is so small and tender , and true enough such a sad incident.

What I learn from this book is that we definately must be careful and be more alert of our surrounding. But by doing this alone does not mean that it keeps us from harms way, if it bound to happen, then it will happen. From this book, I know that Denise (James 's mum ) was not in fault, no one could have expected something as bad as this can occur.

I did some search on the net and got more info bout this case, this book  definately was  heart-wrenching to read and I can only pray that comfort surround  both Ralph and Denise and everyone around them.

Italiannies , The Gardens Mall

Visited Italiannies at The Gardens Mall for my dinner. It was definately a fun and delicious one! Reach there, the place was really empty, there were only few guest present .

Immediately, they serve up this dish (olive oil and black vinegar) on a plate, but they did not serve up any bread. The last time I came they did serve bread and the Olive Oil and black vinegar as a complimentary dish. So now...whats with serving that plate when you did not serve up any bread?I didnt enquire futhur as I was actually waiting for my main dish :)

 The atmosphere here is really nice, the background is great, I love its rusty and homely country side feel that they have. The vibe over here is great. I ordered fresh watermelon with no additional syrup/sugar. Tasted so good! Yumm!!

fresh watermelon -RM12.25

 TA-DA!! My main dish is Classic Carbonara . It is one of the best Carbonara I have tasted !! It is made with Fettuccine pasta tossed with Parmesan cheese, the pasta tasted so well, almost looks like it was hand mold and made. I love how the texture and smoothness in my mouth. The beef bacon is another additional marks, it blends with this dish really well, not too touch, just the right meat to pair up with this great dish! The mushrooms tasted great, the overall dish I would had given a 9/10 . No joke, you guys out there really have to try this yourself.

Classic Carbonara -Picollo-RM31.35

 It was so so so delicious!!! I really can gulp down a second plate, it tasted too good!

 The time was spend with fun and my tummy is happy, taste and aroma wise is very fullfilling. I would definately come back more often, but the price is too high thats for sure. 

Here are some pics of the interior of the outlet. Really cool and nice right??

 Here is their menu:

 They have their signature pizza's too!

 After the dinner, I was given the review card, I gave quiet high marks for almost everything, because I am really satisfy with their food, service and ambience. But their wifi could not work lehhhh.... :(

PappaRich Nasi Lemak and Curry Chicken

Visited Paparich at Nu Sentral, decided to try out their signature Nasi Lemak as I had read and heard so much about them. Many people had written and given thumbs up for this dish, so why not?

Went there about 7.30pm, there was not a crowd too (yesh ) , actually it took me some time to find this outlet as it is located outside of Nu Sentral, before that I went all the way to the 4th and 5th floor as there are food outlets up there. To cut the story short, asked at the informaton counter, walk to the shop and ordered this dish.

Deng Dend, my dish came quiet fast. Looks nice, great aroma and taste great! Rice is not sticky, which is great for me, the sambal is not overpowering the whole dish, tasted really nice, half boil egg well cooked (should had given one whole piece cut into half marr ) , ikan bilis and kacang normal, the curry chicken is delicious!!! I liked how the spices blend well, and it is indeed delicious and can be compare with other nasi lemak that I have eaten so far. Nice!

Had a wonderful meal at a wonderful place, and watched BatmanVSSuperman later. Sadly, didnt really like the movie, for me personally, this movie have been given a higher rating than its suppose to get. Oh well, what a great day!

Sales Assistance at Cosas United Fair

I have been given the opportunity to work at a Cosas United Fair at Nu Sentral (KL Sentral ) for 12 days, starting from 24th of March to 4th April 2016. This must be one of the most fun, equally challenging work for me. In this fair, we sold luggages, winter assesories, jackets, backpacks, laptop bags, brands from Itali like Roncato, Modo. Others brands are Samsonite, Kamiliant, American Tourister, Ragdoll, Rofina Swiss.

Reach there on the first day, was not really confident, but the first guy that approach me was Hau San, made me feel ok, was welcome. I was placed under my leader Coco, mind you my first experience with her was not great, but good enough, she is the one who tour me around, introducing me to all kind of bags, their brand, warranty and feature, I was later asked to explore on my own, to hear from those who had came in 2 days earlier.

My 12 days actually passed in a breeze, I did my best, okie I did hea here and there but I will try to get at least 1K per day, some kind of a result to show the person in charge,the boss and also my leader that I AM doing something at least. And I actually manage to do that almost everyday, the least will be above 900. So, thank God for that.

Everyday I sat the KTM from Kajang to KL Sentral, used touch n go so its a bit cheaper, one day RM7.60 . Travelling itself already took 40min per trip, so I guess after this I wont be applying for jobs in KL already. As I only start work at 10AM , there was no crowd so I get a sit most of the time, both going and coming back.

Working here have taught me so much, literally! For most of you out there, I am kinda an introvet, but can be a little bit louder to those who I am close to with. But I am ok when talking to strangers, I didnt need to feel scare at all, its like a normal communication. I  learned to speak out, not looking down or despise others, I actually have customers who wore slumpy cloths yet bough luggages that are way expensive. Even security guards do have the money to get branded items, so yeah, never judge a book by its cover.

I work 8 full days and 4 half days, which is perfect! Lunch and Dinner settle in the mall or outside of the mall. Almost all the promoter will visit this chinese hawker restaurant, (forgotten whats the name ), its famous for their Chicken Rice, however they only open for lunch. For the whole duration there, I had tried Chicken Rice, Char Siew Chicken rice, sarawak mee, leaf rice to name a few. Prices ranges from RM6-RM8 . Its actually ok in a busy KL area. Did not snap my foods pictures. Regretting now!!! haha

Here are some pictures for you eyes.

One of the highest perks working here is definately meeting new people, making new friends, doing silly stuff. Let me go though one by one.
Adrian- The big boss, quite cold, didnt chat with him before also

Shen- The one who hired me, thanks so much!!! 20 years old only yet already holding a high position

Jia Yong - The guy that is every friendly, responsible, ask him anything

Wayne- Another great guy, went back earlier , patient thats for sure

Coco- My leader, scared but am full of respect towards her , quiet friendly to me towards the end of sale, haha

Ann- The one who gives me sweets, not under her so didnt really get to know her either

Kai- Sort of a leader over here, quite scary when he is organising something, otherwise friendly

Daniel - The one guy that guide and helped me , dirty jokes, fun guy

Hau San- the first guy that approach me the first day, the one with a great voice, the one who talks about life, great person

Bobby- Top seller, tall guy and loves to hit me with no reason, haha

Tommy - That guy with the gold hair, has the loudest laugh

Fa Ge- The pretty boy over there

Yi Kang- The one I keep calling Zi Kang, fun guy

Calvin- The one who always likes to act like a model, but fail...haha but hey you look great always ok in person, maybe not in pictures...haha

Agnes- Another top seller

Calvin- Finally I found someone that eats as slow as a tortoise, haha thanks for sharing some great stuff

Syahirah - Not your typical mainstream muslim, stalk yr insta, found out that you are great in art

Hajar- That small and tiny girl, thats for asking weather I want to work at Cosas United, but haha too far

Fatehah- Funny character, fun person

James- The one that work 6 days only , celebrated his birthday

Back to that, I actually go free stuff during the whole duration there working. Everyone of us got a free boost juice due to some reason. It has been so damn long since I had one, so it was great!

Then chillnchill under boat noodle decided to give free drinks as they just open a new one over at Nu Sentral.  Early in the morning, two pretty girls came by and give us a broucher paper and ask us to go them it for free at 3PM. Went there,  waited in line and got to know that the person at the cashier do not even know the existence of this paper ( saw she was flipping and asking around whats the paper for ) because according to the paper, there are 4 choices, but the person before us requested one of the four but they said they only serve 2 type. to cut the story short, we got our free thai ice green tea and a free T shirt. So good right!! But wait, the thai ice green tea that they give is 80% ice, so yeah, thank you ChillnChill. Next time, if you guys are giving free drinks, please be a bit sincere. But I still will be back for more, cause their Thai Ice green tea is delicious!!!!

We celebrated birthdays too.

Yi Kang and Bobby's bithday

James's birthday

After Wrap Up, was not in the pic because I went back early, didnt get to stay any longer as the latest KTM to Kajang is at 11.30pm.

Thank God for giving me this experience, I did not fall sick the entire period. I had fun. I earn $$$. I made new friends. Thankful for this one of a kind of experience. Working with young people is so much fun!

Thanks for reading. Hope you guys enjoy it!
