Getting Ready For Chinese New Year

For this year, I didn’t do much when it comes to decorating my home for Chinese New Year. I managed to buy 2 really red plain lanterns from a shop in my neighbourhood.  They are just the type that I want.

I usually hang them on the porch and will leave them there for a year. What about you?

Remember the beautiful Christmas wreath that I received in 2020?  I recycled it into a Chinese New Year wreath last new year and for this year, I took down the previous year’s decor and added these peonies and some gold leave designs. What I did was hot glue these flowers onto the wreath.

Roller Skating At Roller Wa

When Ashley found out that Roller Wa has opened in One Utama, thanks to Tik-Tokers who have been posting about this place, she ‘begged’ me to bring her there. Roller Wa is an indoor roller-skating rink that comes from Korea. Malaysia is the 3rd rink of Roller Wa.  As you can see, Ashley loves everything that has rollers just like skateboarding, rollerblading, ice skating and now roller skating.

So we made our way to One Utama one Sunday morning with her cousin Sophie and her friend, Nadine.  Roller Wa is a cashless store and everything is done online. Tickets have to be ordered from the booth outside the skating rink.  There will be staff around the booth to assist.  The price is RM12 per entry and RM28 for 2 hour of roller skating.  Once inside, the skaters can rent the roller skates which come in black and white. The fee includes the rental of the skates and also the protective gear.  Ashley brought her own gears that day as she said it is more hygienic.

During the 2 hour session, K-pop songs will be blasting away while everyone skates. There are also disco lights everywhere for the old skool vibe.  Luckily Ashley likes K-pop and so do I although I am only familiar with BTS and Black Pink *chuckle*  The skating area is about 1000 sq. ft. and the skaters go round and round the rink.  There are also many cool Instagrammable areas inside Roller Wa.


I went in to Roller Wa and sat at the Disco Cafe to wait for her and the girls. Of course I have to pay RM12 for the entry. When I was a teen, I never like roller-skating because I don’t know how to balance myself.  I remember putting on those heavy metal rollers that came with straps to tie the shoe like the photo below.

The girls had a blast that day and they want to go again.  If you want to give roller-skating a try or just want to reminiscence your childhood favorite past time, check our Roller Wa, the roller skating rink Malaysia.  It is better to early like 10am to avoid crowds or better still, don’t go on weekends.

My Birthday Celebration

Last week was my birthday and I received a surprise gift the night before.  My dear friends sent me a keto dinner which consisted of a fried cauli duck rice, a slice of lemon blueberry cake and a cappuccino. Together with the meal were 2 tubs of keto cookies.  Just in time for Chinese New Year. The dinner was sumptuous and it was ordered from Thirty Seconds, a keto restaurant.

A few days before my birthday, I received a package from Shopee. It contained 2 jars of keto chocolate spread.  There was no messages on the package and I didn’t know who sent them to me.  Initially, I thought they were from my friends or sisters but they said no.  In the end, I found out that it’s from hubs.

The dark chocolate nut butter is simply delicious. It’s so soft and easy to spread.

On the day of my birthday, I received a surprise delivery.  It was a keto lemon cheesecake sent to my office.  They ordered the yummy cake from my favourite bakery – Suchan.  One week after my birthday and I am still eating this cake. That’s how big it is.

A little later, there was another delivery and one of my friends sent me this lovely box of goodies.  It contained my favorite salted pork skin and pork rinds.  On top of that, there were 4 packages of different types of bacon.  Man, I have gone to porky heaven!

I am so blessed.  Later that night, my sisters treated me to dinner at Three Little Pigs and Wolf in Bangsar Village. It was a memorable birthday for me.

Things That Make Me Happy

I love succulents. I guess you can tell from the theme of my blog.  There is just something about these little green plants that make me smile. I have blogged about my previous buy here.  I even made paper succulents as gifts for my friends.  There is a plant seller that comes to my neighbourhood’s market once a week and I usually would pop over to have a look for some plant therapy. I spotted this cute one and cannot resist.

Repotted it to my hexagon planter and it looks perfect!

I also bought a few and repotted them into a little pail.  These babies are for my friend who is into plants too.

I Got My Booster Jab 4 Months After Taking The Astrazeneca Vaccine

A little over a week ago, I was surprised to see my booster appointment on the MySejahtera app. This is because I was the last one to get my 2nd vaccination amongst my friends and they have not even gotten their booster yet. Also because I just took the 2nd  Astrazeneca vaccine on 13th September 2021 so it is still not even 4 months yet.  The booster shot was at Le Quadi Hotel in Cheras and I have heard horror stories about this PPV.  The queue was long and my friend’s parents got turned away eventhough they have an appointment to get the booster last December. 

I was so not looking forward to it and was going to click cancel hoping that they would give me another date and another location.  Then, my husband also received his appointment on the same day, time and location as me. Since both of us were sent to the same location, we decided to go ahead.  Hubs 2nd vaccination was in July so it has been 6 months already.

Last Friday I suggested that we go early for our 1.30pm booster appointment and left the house at 11.15am.  Alas, we were caught in the horrendous Kesas/MRR2 highway jam that started as soon as we passed Sri Petaling.  Actually, Waze showed us to the MEX highway  route but my smarty pants husband said we shouldn’t follow Waze because sometimes it takes us a few km further eventhough the road is only slightly jam.  So we were sitting in the jam for 1 hour and 15 minutes because of the ongoing highway construction work.  On a regular day, it only takes 10 minutes for us to reach Cheras. 

Anyway, we reached Le Quadri Hotel at 12.30pm and parked beside the road.  The PPV offsite was on Level 11 and we were keeping our fingers crossed that the crowd will be manageable and we do not have to wait for hours. Lo and behold, we were so relieved to see that the whole place was almost empty except for the frontliners and a few people who came before us. It only took us about 15 minutes from the time we filled in the questionnaire, spoke to a medical officer and then took the vaccine.  Super fast!

See all the empty chairs?  This is where we sat to fill in the questionnaire.

The area before we go in to take the booster. So empty!

I have been Pfizer-ed.  This is the details of the vaccine I took.

Side Effects of The Pfizer Booster Shot

So a few hours after the booster shot, my left eye became swollen. I was a bit worried but monitored the situation without taking any antihistamine.  The swelling came down at night.  The next day, I felt tired so luckily it was Saturday so I rested in between doing housework.  Today is Day 4 and I still feel a bit tired.  

As for hubs, the side effects are quite bad.  He said it is worst than the first AZ jab he took.  He has flu symptoms, body ache and felt very hot inside his body.  He only took 2 Actifast (panadol) yesterday morning and at night. Today, he is feeling better but not 100% back to normal yet.
