p/s: Lee Min Jung, whom I consider to be the prettiest Korean actress/commercial queen around ... somehow she looks better on screen in motion than in still pics
After the initial rush to try Tim Ho Wan having subsided, I managed to secure easily a table with my friends for lunch at their outlet @ One Utama. Surprisingly, it was half empty on a working weekday at 12.30pm? Where are the crowds? I know One U very well, there are a few towers of offices nearby, you can see them thronging through the mall every lunchtime by the hundreds. I guess I know the reason after looking at the menu prices. (thats the whole menu, exactly 25 items only) They are a bit on the high side in terms of price, and hence its not really something most office workers can have lunch here twice a week cause its going to be between RM30-40pp for dim sum each time. Having said that, the place at Mid Valley is still full during lunch time, and I think thats because we have a lot more tourists, the ladies who lunch, the lepaking executives having "business meetings" there.

What is probably trending over half the globe. I think about 30%-40% of the world's population is currently totally enamored by two Chinese palace intrigue dramas as Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace (airing on online platform Tencent Video) and The Story of Yanxi Palace (which has a cumulative 11.5 billion views since its release last month).

It is based on a novel by Liu Lianzi and is a sequel to 2011's hit drama Empresses In The Palace, also based on the novel by Liu. It has drawn all the attention, and surprisingly both are based on the era of Emperor Qianlong Wang during the Qing dynasty. However, these are not pure historical pieces. The writers have tak...
While English might not be the language that is used by the most people on earth, it is the most important international business language. If you are doing research, you will find most works being in English already. The English Proficiency Index has just released statistics on where English is learned around the world and quality of teaching to find the countries with the highest proficiency of English as a second language: Malaysia should never need to debate on the need to use English is Maths and Sciences, plus boost up the teaching of the English language, and reading of important novels and literature. It is a critical part of being connected to the world. Imagine a pure Malay speaker, and another who commands both Malay and English well. Imagine how they would be using the internet - socially, for researching, for reading of articles, for communicating with friends and family, etc... one would be swimming in a pond, while other has the oceans of the world to dive into, for fun,...
