Monday, December 30, 2013. I read online there is a futuristic smart home at the Bangsar area of Kuala Lumpur. It is actually a subsidary of the electronics giant Panasonic. I'm very curious on the technology that is being used to design the smart home. Together with my friend, I contacted them a few months before and managed to arrange an on-site visit to them just a day before New Year's Eve. PanaHome builds an entire house using special materials. It's construction process is actually much faster&...

Sunday, November 30, 2014. My brother passed me a free entry ticket to River Safari that can be used during the month of November only. Using this as an opportunity, AJ and myself plan a visit to the River Safari on the 29th November. We took a taxi from Balestier to Choa Chu Kang as the way is faster and more direct. We arrived in around 20mins and begin our journey to the River Safari. Pass the gates, we were greeted by the river and the equatorial rainforests. As it started to rain, we explored the Am...

Saturday, March 22, 2014. Johore Property Hunting [22/02 and 22/03]. In our first visit, we missed the exit towards Bukit Indah and we just continue up the expressway towards Johor Premium Outlets. There are many pricy goods on sale here which did not attract our attention. We proceed directly for lunch (Japanese restaurant). As I did not capture any photo of Johor Premium outlets, I reference it to eddy2099.com for the image above). It has very good view of the lake in the district. A walk in wardrobe.
