SHOULD I? SHOULD I NOT?

It's been a long time since i blog. All these due to my work load and also everything now can be found on my facebook. Found it tiring sometimes to update my facebook then do the same thing on m blog. Another reason is i sold my camera lately and still looking around for a new one. So should i continue with m blog or not? Hmmm.... should i, should i not?

RIVER CAFE, Segamat

River Cafe, Segamat by the river along Jalan Sultan

River Cafe, Segamat at nite... nice place to chill out

River Cafe, Segamat is an old shop house that hasn't loose it charms

Segamat is a small quaint town just by the border of Johor and Melaka. Life is easy and everybody knows everybody there. It's a place where you can find peace and serenity that is lost in other big cities. People here tend to take things at slower pace and time seems to slow down. There's many interesting places that you can find here like old row of pre-war shop houses, cute shops selling items we used to have during childhood days and little wooden stalls that sells snacks. A place i find interesting is this little cafe called River Cafe, Segamat just opposite the river along Jalan Sultan. It's a nice place to chilled out day or nite and have a bite or drinks while the rest of the world goes on with their busy lives. There's even a little garden setting at the back for a more private chit chat and gossiping. All the decor here are collections from the owner over the years and from all over the places. Food and drinks here are mainly of the Taiwanese, Indonesian, local and with a few western menu thrown in. You may find the food simple but its really interesting and good. I have to say that you can't find it anywhere else in Segamat. Prices here are reasonable and the food lives up to their expectation. Having a drink and food with your friends here really do makes you forget bout the rest of the mad world but if you are still hunger for the outside world, there's free Wifi for those urbanites junkies. Next time if u feel like to escape from the cities, just drop by Segamat and stop by River Cafe, Segamat for a different feeling. No regrets!

2008 CHRISTMAS

What a year had passed by without a hint….. 2008 was not a bad year neither it was good. The year went on usual and the only thing that made a big impact was I started to go to gym and I’m a Facebook junkie. Yes, i'm a self confessed Facebook addict. Look around you and which one of you doesn’t have a Facebook profile. Hmm… those who haven’t entered the world of Facebook must be living under the shell. I end my year with two BIG events. The 1st was a nice Christmas Eve dinner with my closed friends. It was just a small gathering of good people and delicious food! The dinner lasted till the wee hour of Christmas morning that includes us stuffing our face with good food, drinking silly, good chat, UNO and not forgotten Church mass. We sang our heart out during the Church mass and it certainly felt more Christmassy after you attended the mass. Merry Christmas everyone!
