Beautiful & GLAM by Rawlins

Have you been standing in a long line just to get your current craving of the latest food trend at a certain mini-mart?
I bet you have! And you probably are standing in that line at this very moment too!

Tekun Mart, Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Koperasi Rakan Tekun Berhad, Halal Oden, Oden Viral, Rawlins Eats, Sokong Produk Tempatan, Produk Buatan Malaysia

I am the kind of person who loves to eat and get on the trending wagon - but when I see such a long line outside the store, I will immediately turn off and will wait when the craze-wave is over or at least subside before I will come and visit the store again.
Earlier this week, I went to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to send off a friend who was travelling up north. First of all, I have never been here so I was amazed at the facilities - so similar to an airport facility. Good job TBS!
As her bus will only be leaving in an hour's time, we decided to look for a place to eat - a simple and easy meal will do as she doesn't want to be asking the driver to make an emergency stop along the way due to too much food. At level 4, strategically located at a vast area beside the lift, there stands a Tekun Mart. With its bright red store sign and eye-catching buntings outside the store, my eyes were immediately caught sight of drinks and food!
We decided to check the store out. And we were pleasantly surprised by the products that it carried. 95% of the products sold in the store was locally made products and most came from our Small & Medium Enterprises (SME).

The best thing is that Tekun Mart also serves Halal Oden! Oh yes! Now I get to be the trendy ones too - I decided to try the tasty looking oden here. It was yummy and filling! And my friend, the ever-trendy person who will try everything trending, also gave her thumbs up! The broths were equally great - I tried the least spicy ones (as I am not that adventurous) and she literally sipped the tom yum broth after we have finished eating out the cakes of the stick.

And Tekun Mart also offers catering services for the Live Oden Stall, should you wish to add some trending element your upcoming open house/ celebrations too. Just contact [Kak Wani | +6016 964 5544 | tekunmart@gmail.com | FB ] if you to have the best halal oden served to your family and friends.

As the trip to up north (Kedah) might take up to 6 hours (on a good day), she decided to buy some titbits and drinks for the journey. There were some local titbits that we lovingly called jajan - you know what it is - all those local crackers and nuts that we love eating growing up.
And she bought some Durian Crepe too - she is a durian lover to the max. Whereas I bought some pau with anchovies sambal, kelapa and kaya fillings for my trip back home (it will only take me around 20 minutes to reach home, but hey - I gotta eat too).
I love that fact that this amazing store sold so many food items that will make one's travelling much easier. All are nicely and safely packed and ready to go such as spaghetti, durian crepe and meatballs/ chicken balls.

And there's one brand, Nasgera, that serves our most favourite food in a matter of minutes. Just add hot water into the premix and not 5 minutes later, you may indulge in your choice of Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng Cendawan Ayam, Nasi dan Asam Pedas, Nasi Goreng Kampung or Nasi Goreng Cina. These amazing (and magical) creations will become very handy when travelling abroad!
After having the oden and some pau, we decided to have the delicious ice cream. It was yummy and soft too. I wanted to have my second helping of the ice-cream but I remembered that about me wanting watch my waist line. Hahaha.
Oh. The store operates from 7 am until 11 pm, daily.
When I googled online about Tekun Mart, I learned that TEKUN Mart is funded by Koperasi Rakan Tekun Berhad (KRTB) that aims to assist the Bumiputra entrepreneurs to launch their business. Other services availabe under KRTB are insurance and tabung khairat kematian for its members.

Last Monday (1 July 2019), marks another milestone in Lulu Group as they opened their second hypermarket in Malaysia. The opening ceremony was officiated by YB Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs of Malaysia, in the presence of Ambassadors of various countries, prominent local businessmen and other dignitaries.

Happy at Lulu, Jom Ke Lulu, Lulu Hypermarket Kuala Lumpur, Rawlins GLAM, Rawlins Shops, Shopping Murah di KL, Second Lulu in Malaysia, Inaugural Sales in 1 Shamelin Mall

Albeit being occupied only the lower ground floor (all 80,00 square feet) of the 1 Shamelin Mall, the 174th Lulu Hypermarket (opened globally) boast as many sections as the first ever Lulu Hypermarket in central KL ie there are sections for grocery, dairy products, fish and seafood, fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fry goods, fashion garments, electronics, IT, stationery, sports and footwear, among other things. Not only that, there were locally made products available here, as Lulu wants the Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) to grow together with them, by providing display spaces inside the hypermarkets. As of today, there are more than 100 local companies associated with Lulu. Amazingly so, the latest store is designed using the latest retail space concepts and most modern technology for ease of shopping experience for many.

Another great news for all: Lulu Group will open 4 more hypermarkets by 2020 and locations are Setia City Mall, Bangi Getaway, Bachang (Malacca) and Johor Bahru. Yippie!!!

There I was, standing in the seas of people, going around to get their goods etc. Then I realised that there are Inaugural Offers going on from 1 - 4 July that boasts crazily huge discounts for items such as Jasmine rice, fresh chicken, assorted cakes and bread, toiletries and electrical goods. Some go as low as RM1 each (cakes & bread). Learning about the offer, I ran towards the rice section and was relieved that there were still some bags of rice left.

Visit HERE to know the offers in detail!

I walked past a huge mountain of egg trays that were selling at RM5.99 and I thought that I will check them out the last. 15 minutes later, I returned to see an empty wood palate where the mountain of egg trays was before. It was gone in a matter of minutes. Wandering around the hypermarket, I was amazed that they have managed to pack so many items inside the store. Learning from my past experiences shopping at Lulu, I know that Lulu's reputation as a hypermarket that sells goods at a very affordable price proceeds them and that's why so many people were thronging to the store that day. Also because of the inaugural offers too!

How To Get The Most of Your Trip To Lulu HYpermarket

For those who have not been to Lulu, you better plan your way through and get what you want at first sight because it might not be there anymore later. Here are the sections that you should check out in Hypermarket Lulu @ 1 Shamelin Mall.

Roastery - they have nuts and coffee beans and the choices are abundant
Hot food - fill your tummy with delicious local and international food here, at a very competitive price too
Fresh fish & seafood - the price for the goods here are competitive, you might want to pack them salmon as much as you want.
Electrical - when you see a 40' TV selling for RM699 from its original price of RM1299, you better think of a place to place it in your house. I was hoping to get a Smart TV that was selling at RM1399 (o.p RM2168) but that was gone in minutes too. Oh. Rice cooker is also selling at RM25/ unit!
Rice - I eat only brown rice nowadays and Lulu Hypermarket has the vast choices of brown rice at a very competitive price. That's why I don't mind travelling from Bangi to KL to get the rice. And during this Inaugural Offers, a 5kg of Jasmine basmathi was selling at RM29.90 only!

Fret not guys, today is the last day of the sales. You still have time to partake in the sales.

Enjoy!

And remember, plan your way through the crowd and grab the items as you see them.

It might not be there in a blink of an eye.

Check out Lulu Hypermarket FB to know more of the upcoming sales.

Sebanyak 999 stik bernilai hampir RM50,000 diberi percuma kepada pelanggan di Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse (WISH) pada 5 dan 6 Julai 2019 di Damansara Aliff, Johor Bahru.

Tawaran istimewa ini bersempena kempen Giveaway Half Ribs yang terbuka kepada semua pelanggan yang berbelanja sekurang-kurangnya RM60 dalam satu resit dan hanya untuk makan di restoran sahaja.

Malah bagi mereka yang kali pertama mendaftar sebagai penggemar WISH, mereka akan diberi satu scoop aiskrim. Sangat berbaloi!

Pemilik Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse, June Talib menjangkakan sambutan luar biasa terhadap kempen ini dan untuk memudahkan pelanggan, WISH mengalu-alukan tempahan awal dengan menghubungi nombor 013-7333280 atau mereka yang ingin mengetahui lebih lanjut, boleh layari layari www.wadihanaislamicsteakhouse.com

“Ini sebahagian daripada kempen TERIMA KASIH kami kepada pelanggan yang setia menyokong kami sejak dibuka Februari lalu,” kata June.

Stik yang ditawarkan dalam kempen ini ialah Honey Pepper Ribs bernilai RM49.90 setiap hidangan.

TENTANG WADIHANA

Sebelum Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse mencapai kejayaan peniagaannya ini, banyak pahit maung yang dilalui. Jatuh bangun di dalam bisnes adalah lumrah dan bagi yang cekal serta percaya 9 daripada 10 punca rezeki datangnya daripada perniagaan, semua itu harus dihadapi dengan redha.

Sama juga yang dilalui usahawan pemilik Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse, June Talib yang sering memberi peluang kepada diri sendiri untuk bangkit membina kehidupan yang lebih baik. Menurut ibu kepada 4 anak ini, bukan sekali bisnesnya ranap tetapi itu bukanlah bermakna beliau harus angkat bendera putih.

“Saya dan suami hampir berputus asa sehinggalah kami ingin memberi peluang sekali lagi untuk membina bisnes baru di dalam dunia makanan (F&B) selepas beberapa kali gagal dalam bidang lain sebelum ini," kata June yang juga Pengarah Perniagaan Wadihana Steak House Sdn Bhd.

Bagaimanapun kata June, inspirasi utama Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse adalah anaknya yang berusia 13 tahun, seorang pelajar tahfiz di Johor. Anak ketiganya itu sangat berminat di dalam dunia kulinari, lalu bisnes ini dibina untuknya.

“Setiap anak, saya sudah ada perancangan termasuk anak ketiga ini. Dia agak perlahan di dalam akademik tetapi sangat berminat dengan dunia masakan, jadi saya dan suami sepakat menjadikan Wadihana sebagai pemangkinnya. Yang kedua, kami mahu lakukan pembaharuan kepada Wadihana terutama bagi pasaran Johor Bahru yang belum ada restoran ‘steak house’ yang mampu makan, ada sentuhan kelas antarabangsa dan suasana yang tenang dialun mainan piano. Kecualilah kalau pergi hotel,” katanya.

Lokasi Wadihana Islamic Steakhouse yang terletak di Damansara Aliff agak ‘terselindung’ daripada pengetahuan dan lokasi itu masih baru dalam kalangan penghuni kota Johor Bahru.

Bagaimanapun menurut wanita cekal ini, kuasa pemasaran online telah berjaya menarik perhatian penduduk sekitar malah dari Singapura untuk merasa citarasa antarabangsa Wadihana.

“Dulu orang kata, lokasi amat penting untuk buat bisnes tetapi Wadihana walaupun berada di tempat baru, berjaya membuktikan boleh menarik orang dan menjadikan ia semakin dikenali hanya menggunakan pemasaran online.

“Sekarang dunia online, dunia tanpa sempadan untuk membolehkan kami memberitahu orang ramai tentang apa yang kami lakukan,” katanya yang juga anak didik Pakar Pemasaran Online, Najib Asaddok.

Menceritakan keistimewaan hidangan Wadihana, June berkata, gravy atau kuah stik dihasilkan dengan ramuan sendiri berbanding steak house lain yang menggunakan serbuk atau tepung dari Thailand.

Bukan hanya untuk memastikan kuah yang sedap, bagi June, beliau sangat mementingkan kesucian makanan tersebut dan halal.

“Kami merebus tulang lembu lebih 8 jam untuk mendapatkan jus bagi membuat kuahnya. Saya tidak menggunakan serbuk seperti yang diimport oleh restoran lain kerana khuatir dari segi kehalalannya.

“Alhamdulillah, maklum balas daripada pelanggan semakin memberangsangkan dengan jualan untuk bulan pertama kami sebanyak RM170,000 dan meningkat kepada RM240,000 pada bulan kedua,” katanya yang baru memulakan operasi pada Februari lalu.

June berkata, beliau memperuntukkan kira-kira RM1.5 juta untuk ubahsuai restoran, membeli peralatan dapur mengikut piawaian hotel 5 bintang yang sesuai dengan standard stik antarabangsa serta membina tempat membakar piza (firewood pizza).

Selain itu, Wadihana juga menyediakan ruang di tingkat atas bagi pelanggan yang ingin mengadakan majlis atau mesyuarat yang boleh memuatkan sehingga 120 kapasiti dalam satu-satu masa.

Bercerita pengalaman hitam ketika ditipu oleh sebuah syarikat hingga beliau dikecam oleh para pelanggan dan pembekal, June berkata, detik-detik itu membuatnya serik untuk berniaga.

“Saya bagus dalam closing sale dan untuk sebuah perniagaan sebelum ini, saya banyak membawa duit jualan untuk syarikat tetapi tidak lama kemudian, syarikat itu tutup. Pembekal dan pelanggan mula mencari saya, menuntut bayaran dan sebagainya tetapi itu bukan salah saya. Malah saya sendiri ditipu kerana semua wang jualan sudah dipindahkan ke akaun syarikat tersebut. Hampir 2 tahun saya memencilkan diri, mengasingkan daripada orang luar kerana takut berdepan dengan orang ramai. Saya menerima mesej ugutan dan cercaan daripada sebahagian mereka. Mereka juga membuat laporan polis dan saya juga harus berbuat demikian untuk mempertahankan diri kerana bukti-bukti pemindahan wang memang jelas,” katanya.

Bagaimanapun semangat yang ditiup oleh suami membuatkan June kembali membuka mata terhadap kehidupan dan keluarga mereka.

“Life must go on dan saya harus berani berdepan dengan segala kemungkinan. Buat apa takut kalau kita tidak bersalah? Sekarang saya sudah bersedia dari aspek fizikal dan mental untuk menghadapi sebuah perniagaan,” katanya.

When the toys were still with Andy, Bo Peep and several other toys were given away his sister as she grew out of them. Woody tries to save her but Bo Peep reassures him that part of being a toy is being taken away and they have to accept that everyone will go away soon.
In the current days, Woody sneaks into Bonnie's backpack when she attends her kindergarten orientation, worried that she might get overwhelmed at the event. In her effort to cover her nervousness, Bonnie crafts a new toy she named Forky.

At home, Woody introduces Forky to the crowd. Forky seems obsessed with being in a garbage bin, the fact that he was a spork thrown into the bin before being rescued by Woody and presented to Bonnie.

During a road trip with Bonnie and her family, Forky jumps out of the window and Woody being Woody, he also jumps out to rescue him. On their journey back to the RV parked at a nearby town, Woody finally manages to convince Forky that being a toy is a blessing.

In an antique store at the centre of the town, Woody spots Bo's lamp and as usual, Woody gets inside the store and starts looking for her. Inside the shop, Woody and Forky encounter Gabby and the Bensons. Gabby seems nice at first, wanting to take them to Bo when finally Woody realises that Gabby actually wants to obtain Woody's voice box. Forky was captured when they tried to escape the shop.

Stranded in the middle of the town where the RV left without him and Forky being captured, Woody reunites with Bo, who is now a drifter, a toy with no kid. With Bo's help and her gang of drifters, they devise a plan to save Forky.

Meanwhile, Buzz was also on his mission to save Woody.
Will the mission to save friends succeed?
MY REVIEW Plot: 5.0/ 5.0. This one is certainly an adventure. You will be on an emotional roller coaster ride throughout the movie. There will be scary moments, sad ones and of course, lots of humour throughout the movie. I love the plot twist at the end of it.
Cast: 5.0/5.0 Tom Hanks is here. Keanu is here too. So, yeah!
Will I watch it again: I think I wanna watch it in IMAX soon. The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.

I remembered watching Child's Play in the late 80's with my uncle (on VHR and without my mum's knowing) and hated seeing life-sized dolls ever since - traumatised by the movie hahaha.

Rawlins GLAM, Child's Play, Thriller, Remake/ Reboot, Movie Review by Rawlins, Chucky

I watched almost all Chucky movies afterwards, even when it became more ridiculous and tacky - but I still feel scared of the doll despite being a grown up now. So, when I heard that the remake is coming up, I am intrigued to see the latest reboot of the horror monstrous doll.
SYNOPSIS

Child's Play Trivia

Directed by: Lars Klevberg

Produced by: David Katzenberg, Seth Grahame-Smith

Production companies: Orion Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, KatzSmith Productions

Distributed by: United Artists Releasing

Running time: 90 minutes

Rating: R (bloody horror violence, and language throughout)

No original cast or production members are working on the film

Budget: $10 million

Box Office: $14.1 million

Metascore:47

IMDb: 6.5/ 10

Tomatometer: 60%

An employee of 'Buddi' assembly factory in Vietnam killed himself after tampering with the safety features of the doll, in retaliation of a rude supervisor.
In Chicago, Karen and her hearing-impaired son, Andy are just settling into their new department. Seeing that her son is not fitting well with the surroundings, Karen blackmails one of her colleagues to procure a defective Buddi doll and gives Andy the doll as an early birthday gift.

Andy tries to name the doll but the doll just calls himself as Chucky. Despite it being defective, Buddi helps Andy befriend Falyn and Pugg. The kids love Buddi for its ability to curse whereas the other Buddi dolls are not. The trio loves Buddi's company and keeps him with them all the time - playing time, watching horror movies together and playing pranks too. Chucky computes that the kids love the thriller movie so he tries to emulate the act of killing to please the kids. When Andy becomes mad at him when Chucky tries to stab Pugg, it confuses him.

Over time, Chucky becomes very protective of Andy. Chucky tries to kill the cat when the cat scratches Andy. One day, Andy finds the cat dead on the kitchen floor and Chucky admits to killing the cat, so it will never hurt Andy anymore. Shane, Karen's boyfriend don't like Andy and when he gets spooked by Chucky, Shane confronts Andy that leaves Andy in tears. Andy wishes for Shane to disappear from their lives and Chucky hears this.

Chucky follows Shane home only to find that Shane is actually married and has a family. When Shane was outside taking down the Christmas lights, Chucky terrorizes Shane and ends up killing Shane. Chucky brings home a 'souvenir' for Andy.
This is where the terror begins for Andy, his mom and his friends.
Will Andy be able to keep his 'best friend' away from him?

MY REVIEW Plot: 2.0/ 5.0 Where should I start? I just don't like this remake/ reboot. Why should you remake an already good movie and then make it worse? The plot is predictable like any other horror movie. Only this one is not a horror movie, it is a thriller. No ghost whatsoever, Chucky is just a malfunctioned AI. It could have been better, much better with a better script and refined plot.
Cast: 3.0/ 5.0 The actors were ok. Not great. And somehow I think it was on the brink of being a parody to the original Child's Play.
Will I watch it again: No. I will watch the original ones, but not this one. Ever. Again. The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.
