Oceanus Waterfront Mall in Kota Kinabalu

Robert's Google+


Sabah capital is having another shopping mall that build on used to be part of the sea





Facing Marina Court the luxury condo at the eyes of local peoples, there will be another shopping mall for Sabahan people after Suria Sabah and 1 Borneo seem to have fully occupied and business is growing in a steady pace.


I heard peoples said Kota Kinabalu should not have another high-rise shopping mall back in the year of 2011 due to the Suria Sabah was still not fully occupied there were many empty tenants. But, it seem like many investors renting shopping mall tenants and the event of Suria Sabah no more shop lots to rent could occur in the coming year. Some of the biggest shop brands in Suria Sabah are Metrojaya, KFC, Chicken Rice Shop, Upperstar, GSC and many more.


I wonder which cinemas Oceanus Waterfront Mall is going to have, GSC or Growball ? It could be no cinema like Wisma Merdeka.



Oceanus waterfront mall

 


As the shopping mall name suggested, I hope the management brings in more popular seafood restaurants in Sabah. Something like invitation sent to Sandakan and Tawau popular seafood restaurants asks them to set up stall there. That just my suggestion this mall should live up its name.







I do not know when they will fully operating because many works needed to be done at the top of the building. I guess it will be completed and fully operate on May 2015. Oceanus seem to be officially recruiting leasing activity. Notably, I think the business will flourish in this one because the city bus is operating at this area.

8 Hours trip from Tawau to Kota Kinabalu with long-haul bus express



Mount Kinabalu


8 Hours trip and half hour rest at check point that pretty much painted the whole picture. I have ride bus express less than 20 times. It was not as fun as taking air flight. Sometimes, one could get headache or feeling of vomiting. Well, it depends on one physical condition not everyone get that kind of sick at least the driver did not show the symptom. They would argue that those passengers in the first and middle enjoys the ride while at the back seated passengers it was not that enjoyable.



Tung ma ticket


  

Tung Ma is one of my favorite long-haul transportation company. They still charging RM50 in the year of 2014 . I guess the rising of oil price RM0.20 did not affect the pricing. You would notice an increase of price when on the festive season such as Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. The price could go up as much as RM70 per person.




Tawau Bus Terminal



This is Tawau terminal located at Sabindo Plaza nearby Tawau library. Tung ma express take off time fixed at 7AM. Time arrival will be varies depends on condition of traffic between 4.30PM - 5.30PM.

Nestle Ice-Cream Goreng Review

Robert's Google+


Fried the Ice-cream to eat only in Malaysia




Nestle Ice-cream goreng



A very daring venture by Nestle introducing fried ice-cream. You needs fry it in less than 5 seconds the instruction showed. I never really understand will this become a trending or something. In fact, Malaysian will only pick an ice-cream as if the weather is hot.

Unlike female, they prefer to eat it during watching TV show or something. I guess Fried Ice-cream is not that sensible at all. However, the market is unpredictable so anything could happen.

A result of overheated Nestle fried ice-cream.

Please do not overcook more than 10 seconds or overheated the pan because the result will be like the image above. A normal fry one will not be in liquidity form it more like a solid one as you can at the first image.

Piala Malaysia Final 2014 Pahang vs JDT

Robert's Google+


Johor Darul Takzim or Southern Tiger vs Pahang Yellow Elephant in Malaysia cup 2014



JDT performed well in against Felda United. In a result of winning, JDT advances to final against Pahang who is the defending champion. Will JDT crushes the mighty force of Pahang ?? 


Look closely, I would say it could be something like Spain vs Netherlands in Brazil's World Cup 2014 which Netherlands put Spain in a gravely defeated. Both soccer squads was in the final match World cup 2010 but Spain took home World cup by winning against Netherlands. In other sense, will JDT be like Netherlands getting their revenge in final later ??


I do not think Pahang will be two-time champion consecutively. But, both side's fans hoped their favorite win the cup. I would say if JDT could defeat Felda United then, I must say JDT could perform better this time against Pahang. 

The long-awaited final Malaysia cup 2014 will be held November 1, 2014. The game ended with Pahang as the winner of Piala Malaysia 2014

Chocolate lovers you should know these chocolate drinks.


These are not meant for kids 5 years below. The best and popular chocolate drinks are Milo, Horlicks and Vico recognizable by Malaysians.


According to self-made research, 30g chocolate power could serve 350ml chocolate drink. A small pack of 350g chocolate power could serve up to 3850ML of chocolate drink. It will cost around RM10 for Cadbury chocolate powder. The cheapest one could be Vico.


Let say you have purchased Oligo 240ml only for RM2, you only get 1200ml. It is the same applies if you purchase F&N magnolia chocolate 890ML for RM6.00. For consumer wise, it is better for everyone to purchase chocolate powder rather than purchase canned chocolate drink.

This is a survey provided by Mountain Dew Malaysia in a contest. It seem like Mountain Dew blue shock votes outnumbered counterparts. I have deiced to find it out at nearest local store to try it out. I would like to advise all of them who drinks mountain dew to take it slowly or once in a while not to rush drink the whole bottle. 

I guess it too sweet to drink the whole bottle. I would take 4 days to drink 500ml of Mountain Dew Blue shock or more.
