Tip: Getting A Number Plate

Jambo! This time round, I'm going to share an experience of us hunting for a number plate for his beloved new car a.k.a second wife! As a fresher for this society, both of us were so excited about getting a vehicle of our very own (though I'm not really contributing to the car loan, but at least petrol?!) Well, we're facing difficulties as we're too new in all these purchasing agreement and rules. So, we're here to share!


First of all, you might think you need to purchase a vehicle only you can get your number plate. NO! Number plate can be obtained at any time notwithstanding you're a vehicle owner or not. So if you're planning for one in future 5 years, go get your desire number now! Want to check out the running number till date? Click HERE & HERE!

You can also get number and alphabet in-advance according to the calendar...

My boy got on and off to this website to check out the running number plate, he's trying to get the 'chun' timing so that he can plan an office leave to go JPJ. NO! When you want that number 9999, go get it instead of waiting for the number to run!


Okay, the day starts at 05:30am! The office hour for JPJ Wangsa Maju is at 07:45am, so we've decided to depart earlier as we're heading there from Kelana Jaya LRT Station - KJ24, to Wangsa Maju LRT Station KJ3, which is 21 stations away, take around 45 minutes to travel.
Walking to station... Expecting Sun Rise :)
There you go. In case you're travelling from some other station, please estimate the time again.
We were on board around 06:00am, hunger strikes both of us so we stopped at KL Sentral Station for a quick McD breakfast, and then continue our journey to Wangsa Maju.
Us in a freezing cold coach...
Get yourself a Touch 'n Go card, I'm not sure about the pricing from KJ to WM, approximately RM 3.50 to RM4 per person. As we stopped for breakfast, our plan was 10 minutes behind so we're rushing to find a cab. Please take note that when you get out of the station, take the overhead bridge to go across the road opposite the station, you can skip the U-turn cost. 

Not knowing the area very well, we prepared some small change for a taxi ride, but the friendly policeman asked us to take a bus instead - which we don't know which one to take! JPJ Wangsa Maju branch is just around the corner, the taxi ride cost us RM3.30. 

Thought that we're late, we ran to the entrance. Seeing few uncles lining up with newspapers, and some middle aged guys wander around too. They'll approach you at first, presenting you this card!
Don't-know-official-or-not runner, claiming that he has over 19 years of working experience in this field. Never get to know more but, is he trying to say that he's been slacking in JPJ for the past 19 years?

Then he directed us to the second floor to get number plate, asked us to check out the running number on screen, and then!? Tell us that's not the place, ask us to wait downstairs instead... Well, from that point of time I figured that he's quite annoying, 'cause he presented a list of numbers he bought over and also a price tag over 'em. E.g W_ _ 2288 for RM1k... Sorry, it's not an amount us fresher can afford, if you're keen and capable, can just PM me I'll pass you his number ;)
Pintu 2 is located at Tingkat 2, notice the no-smoking sign, one below it is the dress code!
NOTE: Guys - Long pants and shoes only!
Lady- No short pants a.k.a proper wear only!
Yes, the runner told us it's not here but it's clearly stated there so, just ignore those runners if you found 'em irritating!
I have to mention this as the Kakak was asking her colleagues: "Hari ni allow orang masuk keh dngan seluar pendek?" So please take note! See at the far back by the pillar, is a TV screen with the running number of the day, and alphabets below it. Take a form on the left of the entrance, fill it up and get a number to queue. We were lucky no.3, but I strongly suggest you not to get the number first if you're not decisive yet!
Prepare a copy of your I.C front and back... One is sufficient but no harm getting another copy... 
Draft the numbers you desire out... For the convenient of the Kakak... I enlarge it a bit :) 
There you go, I don't know their work load but if there's something to ease their day, why not? :)
Such a caring person ;p
Why is there another A4 paper? The numbers above are all taken or tendered, luckily I brought extra paper to draft...
As there's not much people waiting we take our own sweet time to re-consider over and over again... And Kak Fatimah is being nice, though not much of smiling face but she's being helpful all the time, Terima Kasih Kak! Tender the number and I.C, signed, payment of RM210 - for currently running number, or number in-advance, the price is still the same - RM210.00!
The very happy car owner with his number plate done!
And it's just 08:45am in the morning, no leave required, you can get back to work just on time :)
Now, just F.Y.I an alternate way to travel to station, Metro Bus 49 - RM1.00 per ride - from JPJ to LRT station. Instead of taxi, journey to JPJ cost you mostly RM2.00 only with bus.
Cheap, convenient and frequent!
Done, leaving happily! 
Again, another 21-station-of-journey... 
KJ3 - KJ24
Now, let's summarized this:-
  1. Plan for the numbers you desire, a list of 'em.
  2. Documents - I.C, Form, List of numbers
  3. Dress code - Long pants & Shoes
  4. Money - RM210 + Travelling expenses
  5. Office leave - Subject to necessity
  6. Be there early.

Note: -
  1. Never rush the Kakak and yourself, you'll always have extra time to re-consider the number, kakak will allow you some time and even taking a new queue number again.
  2. Double check the link & link I gave on top to check the running alphabets and number.
  3. You can always get advanced number instead of those running on screen, and that cost NO extra payment.
  4. Also numbers that not sell of for earlier alphabets will be shown on screen, price is still the same!
  5. All repeating numbers like 1188, 2288, 1122, 4488 etc are all tendered. Reason? You should know better :) 

Okay, that's all for now. I hope you find this useful, so far we didn't encounter any problem, just that the numbers we wanted are all unavailable, other than that, we're two happy road users! We got ourselves 2788, as his parent check out the Lilian Too Feng Shui book for numbers that suit him, maybe you can check that out too :)

Product Review: Angel Foot Mask

Hi Bloggers! Thank you again for dropping by, I'm here to share something I've used twice and found it really effective: Angel Foot Mask - A mask for our beloved feet that removes dead skin in 7 days and pop! Baby feet reborn! Words can't describe it all, thus, the smarty mighty me, took lots of pictures during the 7-day course! ***Note: Please bear with my not-so-good-looking-feet!!!


First of all, let me show you the packaging...
Angel Foot Mask - Product of Taiwan
That's the back of the box - Stated the ingredients, direction, effect, precaution etc.
Here we go, pampering mode started! As shown at the back of the box, cut off the top, set your foot in nicely, taped it from the inside, fold nicely. What I strongly suggest is that you should prepare a pair of loose socks, once folded, wear 'em, it's easier to absorb - As my mum always claim that her dead skin is super thick which can't be absorb at all! Socks help a lot!

Day 1
Okay, counting down for 90 minutes! 
Please pardon my laziness as I didn't remove my nail polish, which you should! Instead of  90 minutes, I took around 2 hours, so far there's  nothing happen to me so you can give it a longer try :)
Looks normal, you wont spot the difference, what you can see only is your crumpled skin!
There's no Day 2, I was too busy for my dental visit, in fact there's nothing happen still to my feet, so let's skip it to Day 3!
Day 3
See!? 
It merely shows some skins peeling off, it doesn't mean that you can scratch it though. 
Another side, just leave it as it is... 
Expecting more :)
The best part of this mask is that it affects every single area of your foot! 
Yes, even your skin around your nails will come off too...

Day 4
Coming off... Not much effect though~ 
There you can see... 
Can't wait! 
These are the parts where your skin thicken easily due to walking and footwear... 

Day 5
I've been walking to school, thus my skins come off without me noticing, too bad that I can't snap pictures of 'em... But can you see the pinkish part? 
This is more obvious! 

Day 6
Trying to show you the inner part of my nails...
Even the top also... 
Whichever part that soaked in the mask, there goes the skins! 
Pinkish reborn skin! Effective aye?!

Day 7
Soak your feet in cooling water, it's hot and sunny, something soothing and it helps you soften your skin so it's easier to come off...  
After the water bath, skins are soften and easier to rub off... 
Need not peel it, just some rubbing will do... It comes off easily!

And the result is......... Well it's worth the wait :)
Nicely done, no pain, no itch, no nothing... All you lose is just your dead skin, and gain a pair of pretty sexy feet! Give it a try, I was advised to take this once a month, but it last for like a month or two... And I've been recommending this to friends and family, so far no negative feedbacks, my mum tried the second pack too! 
Alright that's all for now, I hope you're fine with this review, at least some opinion and suggestion to guide you before purchasing.

永别了

姨公,于昨日下午三时半离世了……

我哭了整个下午,想通知再飞行半途的妈妈及公公,等到傍晚才联络上。

弟妹回家后,心情才平复些……

睡前,还是控制不住的哭了,好伤心,好难释怀,好心疼,用了一辈子的生命来维持家庭的姨公,没真真正正的享福,因被病魔缠身,而被迫离开人世……

妈妈也睡不着了,我明白她的无助,唯有以信息安慰,不想让她知道我也哭成泪人了……

姨公,一路好走……至少你已经脱离了苦海,愿神庇佑,我们会为你祈福的……

您,安息吧……
