:: A Quickie ::
i'm on leave since yesterday to prepare for the big exam tomorrow. yet, i'm feeling restless and not yet confident to face the questions. there'll be 2 sections, and we have to answer 1 for each section and choose another from either sections. that'll be 3 questions for 3 hours straight. i'll be a dead meat if the questions are not within the topics read cuz the exam covers all 7 core subjects learned within these 2 years... and i've only started revising yesterday! my mistake huh?
anyway, just pray for my success and i'm hoping this will be the end of it. dun wanna go through any exam after this... and did somebody asked me about continuing to phD? sorry babe, not now and not forever.
wish me luck peeps~!
ciao.

:: Tools for Ladies ::
we were in summit usj for a karaoke session last sunday and went into Point B which is having its 3rd anniversary sale. Point B is the only department store in the mall and i'm not sure whether they have any other stores around malaysia cuz i've only seen it summit. as i was wandering around, my eyes got attracted to sets of pink & black coloured packaging boxes with metal things on a rounded island shelf. went closer to have a look and amazingly, they were tools made for women in PINK & BLACK theme!
i got excited cuz pink is obviously my colour and the items looked heavenly chic. there were different tools like hammer, measuring tape, screwdriver, etc and also gardening tools. the items were sold separately in pretty pink & black coloured boxes and they were also sold together in a set with metal pink toolbox. the hammer got my attention the most cuz it came with a faux diamond ring around the metal. it was definitely love at first sight... hehehe.
as i looked around, i've also found a set of apron and gloves in pink with black linings. since i've been frequently involved in kitchen accident with hot cooking oil popped out from the frying pan, i've thought of searching for a cute pink apron that can accompany me during cooking. so i said to myself, "this is it". however, the only thing that stopped me from owning any of the items was the price. yeah, they were a bit pricey. the price for the set of apron and gloves was RM129 so there goes my wish... :-(
i've copied the company web add and went to take a look. they're called Hello Dolly - a new company based in New Zealand. eventually Hello Dolly is a tribute to all women especially single mothers. besides DIY and gardening tools they also have bedroom products like blindfolds, chemise and others. here are how the tool box set and gardening sets look like:
aren't they cute???
the apron that should be my kitchen companion
this adorable pouch set is also available
well, if you like to own such items or buy them for gifts (christmas is just around the corner anyway) and money is never an issue... then head up to summit usj to take a look (*wink).

:: The Best Burger Stall in Seremban ::
if u happened to be in Seremban and craving for a snack be it in morning, noon, evening or late at nite, you should try Ijan Burger which is selling scrumptious burgers in the town.
Ijan Burger started with a small stall selling benjos, hotdogs and burgers opposite shop lots in Taman Paroi Jaya, Seremban in the early millennium (couldn't remember the exact year). After several years, the stall has started selling drinks and offered eat-in where customers could enjoy their foods and drinks under shades of trees. the stall gradually became a hit among teenagers and those who are living around the area. i've noticed that peak time were around 4 - 7 pm and 8 pm and above where customers would place big orders like 8 to 10 burgers (and even more) for per order! i was totally surprised listening to such numbers actually although through my experience, i've done something out of ordinary too when i bought a burger each for my mom, sis and myself and later return to the stall to buy the same burgers for each of us for the second round... after finish eating them in the first round.
around 3 years back the stall has expanded their biz by selling roti john too and the crowd never reduced. today, the stall has moved to a better place in the corner lot of the shop houses with a new mamak restaurant named Syed Maju. believed it or not, Ijan Burger is operating for 24-hours to supply their customers crave during breakfast till supper. it's obviously the first burger stall that operates for one whole day so far!
from my analysis as a customer, what makes Ijan Burger special are:
- the patties are cooked till well done so they're crispy
- generous amount of veges, mayo & sauce
- they never fail to maintain the same quality and taste
- they can fulfill your custom needs without any hesitation even if you require extra mayo or sauce
- you can't never eat a burger without a drip of sauce cuz they're hefty!
if u manage to visit the store, just order whatever you like from a normal burger to triple layer special burger with cheese and they're also selling fish burger if not mistaken. among my favourites are hotdog special, beef burger special with cheese and the latest one, the oblong burger which is oval-shaped.
my hubby and i went there for a tea last sunday and i managed to take a quick photo of the shop. the stall is the one with green roof, but you can sit at syed maju area to eat-in.
last but not least is the address of the stall itself:
Ijan Burger, Jalan Nuri, Taman Paroi Jaya, 70400 Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.
just type Taman Paroi Jaya in Google Map and zoom till you see the road names and share your experience here if you've tried it.
