Salam and Hi lovelies! 

I believe, we all know A&W, the first fast food restaurant opened here in Malaysia in the 1963. This brand definitely had engraved themselves into the heart of Malaysians with their famed and distinguished RB (Root Beer), floats, burgers, Coneys, waffles, and more, as well as its beloved mascot, Rooty The Great Root Bear. I guess it's safe to say that this brand have successfully create such deeply rooted memories for Malaysians everywhere, be it one with our friends, family, or loved ones, and will go on to be a brand which Malaysians from all walks of life would grow to love. 

I still remember the time when we Serembanian been shocked with the news that their Seremban outlet will close for good - of which I've shared on my blogpost HERE years back - yet thank god that this iconic landmark in Seremban are standing still, up to this day. In regards to that, A&W are now actually have some conceptualised plans to leverage on their rich heritage and legacy in Malaysia to make a big comeback to relive their glory days, reclaiming the hearts and minds of a new generation consumers. Indeed, this include our beloved A&W Seremban outlet as well. 

The FIRST ever in Malaysia to have BOTH an A&W and a Jamaica Blue in an outlet, yayyy!

So, on February 17, 2022, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, YAB Dato' Seri Haji Aminuddin Bin Harun, had commemorated the opening of a newly refurbished A&W Seremban Drive-Thru outlet, essentially giving Seremban residents something truly new and unique to experience in this city. This revamped outlet gets retro theme concept featuring a modern take on chic retro design makeover, and actually is the first in the country to have both an A&W and a Jamaica Blue, awesome right?! 

Below are more pics during the A&W Seremban Drive-Thru outlet re-opening ceremony event :

FYI, this Jamaica Blue is drawing their inspiration from the vibrant and rich tones of the Jamaica Blue Mountains - one of the best coffee producing regions in the world! Jamaica Blue will serve patrons of A&W Seremban Drive-Thru with its own specialized selection of coffee beverages, created by a dedicated team of experienced and knowledgeable baristas. As a Serembanian coffee addict, I am indeed excited with this new A&W Drive-Thru Seremban outlet inclusion upgrade! 

Let's take a look at Jamaica Blue pics below, all credit to their IG Page (@jamaicabluemy) : 

In addition, commending on the move, Yang Amat Berhormat Dato' Seri Haji Aminuddin Bin Harun said that the newly refurbished A&W outlet with its modern-retro look and incorporation of Jamaica Blue Coffee will further add to the appeal of Seremban as a vibrant city, which also known for such unique food offerings. 

Aside from that, Sophia Ch'ng, the Director of A&W Malaysia Sdn Bhd, added that their incorporation with Jamaica Blue on A&W Seremban Drive-Thru will bring something totally new, unique, and refreshing to residents here, as ultimately, their aim is to create the perfect setting and atmosphere for the community here to truly enjoy and call their own, building on an already iconic landmark in Seremban. 

Well, I've already went to A&W Seremban outlet Drive-Thru around a week before their re-opening actually, and I can say that it does looks fresher than before. At the time, they just release their newly added menu of Mozzarella Coney, hence we gave it a try, along with their new Salted Caramel Waffle-To-Go and other A&W classics favourite menu as well for our dinner. Such a long lane awaiting that night, yet we're happy to be served with all of those yummy A&W selections. Honestly, I can't be sure if they have already started to feature the Jamaica Blue coffee then, um I think still not yet at the time, but it's okayy as we are truly excited to go back to the drive-thru in order to indulge ourselves with the Jamaica Blue coffees! 

Some more of the Jamaica Blue coffee selection as below, pic credit to their IG page (@jamaicabluemy) :

I sincerely wish A&W all the best in regards of their ambitious plans for the brand to moving forward, may they manage to accomplish their targets of having over 150 outlets all over Malaysia by the end of 2025. Indeed, having served Malaysians for more than half a century along with their tasty, high quality iconic classics menu, A&W is looking poised to be an entity that is loved by us Malaysians of all ages and generations to come. 

Thank You A&W Malaysia 

If you had went to their newly revamp Drive-Thru, especially if you had tried the Jamaica Blue there, do you mind to share with me your experiences or review too? I would like to read yours, if any, hehe. Yeah perhaps there are Jamaica Blue regulars out here that can share some insight upon which should I try first and whatnot right, truly love to know hehe. 

Anyway, thank you so much guys for stopping by. Hopefully my sharing here could help, or brings joy, somehow. Till next time, stay safe and have a great week ahead all!

Baru-baru ni, I ada share several IG Stories berkenaan this new small business yang ada jual tudung bawal printed premium, iaitu IG Veilcouturemode. In case you guys tak follow or missed my stories sharing tu, you guys boleh tangok di highlighted stories I under 'Support Small Biz' dan juga 'Fashion / Style' okayy heheh. Bawah ni I share screenshots from my stories tu : 

Alright so, dari situ I ada share how I truly recommended to buy dari Veilcouturemode tu kann, sebab memang serious best pakai tudung dia guys! I dah try all three premium printed square hijab mereka, which are all three punya material adalah dari jenis satin silk - definitely one of my most fav jenis hijab material hehee. 

Honestly, memang sangat selesa pakai, mudah dibentuk dan digayakan, tak rasa pekak langsung, dan tak panas pun pakai, memang best laa even bila pakai lama or all day long di luar mahupun indoor tau! Ianya juga tak tebal dan tak nipis, which just nice la for me, size wise pun okayy tak terlalu pendek bila menggayakannya, dan I boleh je juga gayakan dengan style labuh so thumbs uppp hehee.  

Indeed, ada jenis satin yang tak best tu kan, but trust me material tudung dari Veilcouturemode ni serious best, tak rugi grab especially if you guys pun peminat satin! Harga pun berpatutan, which is RM69 each untuk printed hijab yang I try tu. For me, berbaloi dan puas hati since kualitinya memang bagus, sesuai la bila foundernya mention premium kualiti, ditambah pula dengan design dan colour yang cantik-cantik belaka, rambang mata tau nak pilih hehee! 

I ada buat short video where I pakai dan gayakan ketiga-tiga tudung tersebut, feel free untuk tengok yea :

Salam and Hi lovelies! 

Today I'd love to share some of the activities that can be done during off days or weekend at Seremban, which I bet everyone be it adults or kids, can enjoy doing it. 

So, as per last weekend, me and my family started our day early in the morning by heading on to the Port Dickson area, planning for a brief picnic by the beach. We had our breakfast outside, which around the Port Dickson (PD) area as well, just by searching for a stall via Waze app since we're not sure where to eat for breakfast that day heheh. Actually, we went to our fav place before head on to PD, but too bad the place was packed with people already, hence, we decided to just have our breakfast at PD. 

So, based from Waze, we chose to go to this Capati Kari Kambing Nani, as it managed to grab our attention and crave for the Capati Kambing as well heheh. The stall located around 1.7km away from the beach, we easily found it. We're happy with the food as the Capati and Roti Canai are fluffy, easy to tear and eat, while their gravy (Kari Kambing) is not that bad too, indeed such a satisfying pair with the meat truly cooked through as it fall off easily the moment we pinched for a bite. Their service are okay too as they're fast to serve and everything looks good. Only their drinks aren't quite suits us, but that's okay, no biggie for us. Oh and on the other hands, there are monkeys around and nearby, hanging out and waiting for food too it seems, yet no they didn't come near people or snatching anyone's food. Felt like such unique eating out experience to be honest hahah! Indeed, if you're afraid of monkeys, perhaps it's better if you choose to sit away from the trees, okayy? Overall, it's good there. 

Alright after having 4 pcs of Capati Kari Kambing in my tummy, chilling by the beach is perfect for our next move hehe. Mind you, don't forget to bring picnic blanket / mattress, sand castle tools, and your bathing suits etc too as per usual beach moment thingy. We're there for few hours while the sun is shining lovely still and cozy, the breeze greeted you happily and the water feels good too on your skin. In addition, the beach are not packed with people too during early hours of the day, well yeah I believe you know the drill, right? 

We went back home after the beach, rest a bit before we went out again later that day for some exercise and sight seeing by the park. Yes, here comes the S2 Hill Park to be ticked off the list heheh. If you guys noticed, we have variety of parks here at Seremban right? Indeed that include one of this famous Hill Park, the S2 Hill Park, located at S2 Heights area. In case you didn't know, visitors need to park their vehicle alongside the road before climb up to the hill park. I think it took around 15 minutes to walk up to the Hill, which we enjoyed too as we can admire the scenery while enjoying the fresh air during our walk. 

As for the Hill Park itself, I think it's great there and perfect for any kind of ages, especially family with kids. There are variety of things to try and play up there, including playgrounds, tracks to jog / walks, trees info guide, mini flying fox section, mini wall climbing, Dinosaur landscapes, etc. There are also public toilet and the entrance are free for all yea, in case you're wondering. We truly had so much fun there and such a great place for exercising while sight seeing indeed, feel free to watch my video below for full view or more clips of the hill okayy. 

@qeelalalala What’s up the #hillpark #S2 ? Lesgoo! #HillParkS2 #XCafe #Seremban #familytime #exercise #MYfoodie #fyp #moment #XparkSendayan #jalanjalan #dinosaur ♬ FOREVER - Audrey Karrasch

Okay after we done burning our calories while finding sunset at the Hill Park, we decided to have some dinner first at XCafe, XPark Bandar Sri Sendayan, on our way home. I actually had share about this one great coffee the other day on my IG & TikTok posting, which actually you can find it around the same place here at XPark okayy hehe. 

As for this XCafe, you can find variety of stalls and foodie all under one roof, like a cafeteria indeed. You can see it from my video above as well okayy as I included the snippet of when I'm at the cafe, showing you the ambience there heheh. There'll be buskers too entertaining you while you eat, and yes guys I totally recommended you guys to try the Ikan Bakar, so yummy! The drinks there are good too, we ordered juices to pair with our Ikan Bakar set, totally refreshing and we're happily full afterwards. As for desserts, we tried the waffles with ice cream there, but sorry we can't finish the waffles as it came out too hard for our taste, perhaps they mislook upon making the the batter or wrong oven setting or something, I'm not sure. Other than that, it's all good. I think we'll come again to try other stalls / foodie there another day, and overall this XCafe is a good place to eat. 

Well, I guess these sums up our day during the weekend. It's great to do these kind of activities regularly, together, as it can tighten the family bonding. We definitely are having such great time as well as manage to exercise too while enjoying such beautiful scenery and fresh air, definitely good for our body and mentally too. So, in case you're out of idea where to go or what to do, perhaps you can try these activities too! 

Hope my sharing here could help somehow. Thanks for stopping by lovelies. Take care and have a great day ahead to all of you! 

Salam and Hi lovelies!

@qeelalalala #Unboxing box of #love from @galeriarianiofficial yay! #potterhead #HarryPotter #Ariani #hijabi #WarnerBros #HarryPotterCollection #HarryPotterAriani ♬ original sound - Daniel Radcliffe 

I gotta say that I'm truly satisfied and ecstatic with this collection, even though I didn't manage to grab every single one of them. The designs, colours, material quality, conveniency, packaging, and everything truly match and meet my expectations heheee. 

As for the shawl and square, they're using printed satin material, which is indeed my fav. It's soft yet easy to wear and style, easy to iron, have that cooling effect throughout wearing and truly comfy to wear all day everyday for me hehe. As for the shawl (and square too), it's long enough that you can make up variety of style as well as enough chest covering if you want too, with just that one piece of hijab. 

Exquisitely scream my house, Gryffindor! 

Me being team all black all the way hehee

Now for the tumbler, ooffff they totally caught my eyes and heart the moment I first saw them! Loveeee the designs and colour, and the size are alright too. Being made from stainless steel, I believe it will last long, and good for everyday use as well. The volume is 540ml for each, for me it's not much but yeah no problem, we can always refill throughout the day right hehee. 

So far I only got 2 shawls and a Tumbler from this collection. I've been eyeing their laptop sleeve and tops as well (from the start actually), ughhh sooo prettyyyyyy but I think I won't be able to buy it. It's okayy, enough with me and let's take a look at each one of the merchandises and hijab collection via these links below (just click on the item's name and you'll be directed to their page okayy) nowww okay guys yayyy hehee :

~Ariani Hogwarts Square

Or you guys can just feast your eyes throughout their whole official online store via this link HERE #1 or HERE #2 okayy! 

The price range for this collection is from MYR69 to MYR249 not include postage fees. However, you can usually get Free Shipping if you choose to buy from that online link #1 above yeaa hehe. Aside from that, I wanna note that link #2 offered their ready to wear too while the first link only have the hijabs and merchandises available for this collection yeaa. Also, both links offered instalments type of payment too if that's your preferences too okayy. So yeah hope that can help somehow heheh. 

I guess I've covered nicely regarding this collection right? Some items already sold out yea and as from what I know, they won't be restocking it anymore once it sold out, so yeah in case you've been eyeing for them, you better get it at least one item, maybe? heheh. 

Last but not least, feel free to let me know below which house does you belong to in the comment section below as I'd love to know them! Mine is Gryffindor, any G gang here with me?! Till then, stay safe and Happy New Year lovelies! 

Dear e-diary, 

I wanna pour my one of a kind happiness that happened to me recently in here, as it happened to came to me out of the blue. Indeed I'm the person whom always love to try, yet I don't always put my high hopes since I rarely win what I want heheh but yes, little did I know, this time, luck find it's way to me. 

Me with my babies, we all are definitely a humongous, die hard fan of 

Smiggle, Marvel and Disney! 

It all started with me joining this one Magical Christmas Wishlist Contest by Smiggle via their online website. As excited and hopeful I am upon delivering the words from my heart to enter the contest, I am indeed still carefully hope, before just brushing it off as my insecurities gush in. You see, I always lose for the things that I've been wanting so bad for so long, in terms of contest / giveaways, hence, pardon my insecurities of winning there at the moment huhu. 

So after a while, my heart skipped a bit when I received an email with a big "Congratulations!" - which yessss, it's from Smiggle as they announced that I am the winner for their Magical Christmas Wishlist Contest!! Honestly, you couldn't imagine how ecstatic and grateful I am for the news despite feeling how unbelievable this is at first, really. Managed to calm down and finally believe that it's real and really is happening to me, I then started to replied with the details needed in order to pick up my prizes. 

The happiest news I've received that day yayyy!

The prizes are that my Wishlist literally will comes true, all 8 items from that list (upon entering the contest, they required us to fill in 8 of our desired items as our wishlist, aside from the other things). Being a mom of 2 kids that are crazy about Marvel and Disney as they're as huge fans as me too, of course, I split the Wishlist all for them, which all items only consist of the latest Smiggle Collection that I've been eyeing since the day they releases them few weeks back - the Smiggle x Marvel Collection and the Smiggle x Disney Collection!! 

We are truly joyful and getting that magical feeling tingling all around us, especially when it truly happened right on time with these Christmassy vibes all around us - totally match the contest theme! So on December 24th, we went to our nearest Smiggle store to pick up our prizes! 

We're about to go pick up our bundle of joy together 

Little did they know, I've prepared a joyful surprise for them hehe 

I didn't tell my kids regarding this at all until we were at the Smiggle store, as I want it to be a sparkly surprise for them. No words can describe how happy I am, as well as they are, upon that moment at the Smiggle store. My heart been filled with warm and lovely feeling, as I see them enjoyed their gifts. Thank you so much dear Smiggle for this wonderful experience, I can assure you that you've chose the right family to win your contest, with lots of love. 

Feel free to watch my clip below for a close up view of everything as well as brief recording when we're at the store too :
