Early

It was 13 August. Hubby took a day leave from work to settle some household stuff. And same time, got me a new handphone. Considered it as my birthday present, an early present.

Few days prior, I noticed my phone back part was swelling. Until I opened up the casing, I discovered the swollen battery. So, we decided to bring it to a phone shop, fix it or get a new phone. 

After much discussion with hubby, I got myself a new phone. Vivo V21e!!  Followed my hubby who is using Vivo V20 since last year. And we got the old phone fixed, change new battery for RM150. We will keep that as spare phone. 


While getting the guy to transfer some data, files, photos and audio over and fixing the old phone, hubby and I went to buy lunch. It was before 11am, so it was still early and was not packed with lunchgoers. 

We ended up at one of the Malay stalls, that selling keropok lekor and fast food. These were what we bought home from the stall. 

Rempeyek kacang

Keropok lekor (after hubby took most of them!), pulut panggang, curry puff

Hubby and I tapaued the fast food since the dishes looked good and to our likings. They even had century egg, which was unusual in Malay dishes, spicy chicken feet and fish umai. Self-service, we took our own dishes. 

Hubby's pack

Hubby took beef masak hitam, century egg, stir fried taugeh and umai, while I took curry lamb, fried fish and stir fried kangkong. RM24 for everything.

My pack


Yesterday was my birthday, And today is Jay' s 12th birthday. Big boy now, time to get him his new blue IC, upgrade from the pink MyKid. I had made appointment for him at UTC Sarawak on 15 September. Now JPN and most departments allowed pre-appointments, no walk-in. The only available slot I could find online is on 15 September. All dates are full till then.

i miss lekor and pulut panggang....ever since i WFH. I would usually buy them from the stall nearby my office (which is located in another state). Since we cannot cross state, i m also stuck with WFH and bear my cravings a lil longer, LOL!

Happy birthday to you and Jay! Just celebrate at home is fun too! Oh, the fast food is like chap fan. I like to eat century egg with congee, have never eaten them with rice before. I like the lamb curry that you chose. So tasty! 😋😋😋😋

Oh? You can get the shop people to transfer the data for you? I hated that everytime I changed phones - trying to save everybody's contact numbers. I still haven't got a smartphone yet...in case you're wondering.

Wow!!! What your hubby had looks good. Yours look very nice too!

Once again, a Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to Jay too!

Yes, it is so very inconvenient to get anything done at the UTC these days, two many terms and conditions. Remember how everybody loved the idea when it was first launched under Najib's 1Malaysia plan. Now it is such a nuisance, so much trouble - it probably would not be so messy if they had all stayed at their own offices here, there and everywhere.

It took me (the company doing it for me) around two months to get my road tax renewed. So terrible!!! Everyone is using this COVID-19 thing as a lame excuse to make lives miserable for everybody!

Happy birthday to you and Jay! Both August babies!

You had used your old mobile phone for how many years?

My uncle has a Vivo handphone too, he saves it as a spare phone.

Happy Birthday to you and Jay. The battery of my phone swelled after 2 years plus. After changing the battery, I am still using the phone and the phone is coming to 4 years old. I love rempeyek kacang and pulut panggang.

Gosh, a swollen battery sounds as though it could be dangerous.
