Last Saturday we went to LCCT. A few friends came from Jakarta for a holiday and on top of that, there was a delivery for Pasha from our family there. Pasha was all excited knowing that we’re going somewhere and he’s going to get something. Where and what were not of any concern to him…

Things have changed quite a bit since we were last there. The airport was more crowded than it used to be and the usual parking spaces were full. We had to park at the new space called Zone C and it was quite a long walk to the International arrival hall. Not to mention that it was a hot afternoon..

And when finally Pasha got his package, he could no longer wait to open it. He tried and tried but he could not get the tape off. In the end he agreed to open it in the car…

To our family in Jakarta: Thanks, we have received the package.
To Ika: Thanks for bringing it over.

Last June I wrote about Touch’n Go 20% Toll Rebate for their users with a minimum total of 80 usages at all highways during a month. You can read that post here. I have been enjoying this program since then as I have to go through lots of toll booths on my daily travel between home and office.

The 20% toll rebate would at least give me about a week of usage and that is quite a good deal for me especially when employers do not care whether their staffs need to pay toll or not…

Recently, a reader, Jaraju posted this question:

I’m getting confused here… now they’re saying more than 100 times only get rebate (under Program Pengguna Kerap)?

I was surprised myself as I was not aware of the ending of the rebate program as well as a new frequent users program that requires 100 usages instead of 80. When I visited Touch’n Go website, true enough, I saw that there’s a new banner but unfortunately, not much details were provided there. Clicking the banner would just load the similar banner in landscape format. You can try that if you have nothing better to do.

I could see the LITRAK and LDP logo in the banner and my first guess was that this program is for the frequent users of  the LDP highway only. Furthermore, the 20% toll rebate banner, as shown above, is still there and that should make the program still available as it is.

However, I would not be right to provide answers to my readers based solely on assumptions. Furthermore, since I have promised Jaraju that I would find out from Touch’n Go about this new program and the status of the 20% toll rebate program, I contacted them.

Here are the responses and clarification from Touch’n Go on the reward programs:

Firstly, Touch’n Go confirmed that the 20% Toll Rebate program is still on. Here is what they said:

The 20% toll rebate program is for Frequent Users using Touch ‘n Go card/SmartTAG for Class 1 vehicle at all highways with total usage of 80 times or more in a month entitled for 20% discount effective 1 September 2009 onwards. We wish to reiterate that the 20% Toll Rebate programme is a government initiative to alleviate the financial burden of frequent tolled highway users in West Malaysia and the program is still ongoing until now.

Secondly, as expected, the new program is a specific program for LDP frequent users.

While LDP Frequent Travellers Programme (Program Pengguna Kerap) is a loyalty programme initiated by LITRAK and aimed to reward frequent users of the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong. This programme will benefit ETC (Touch ‘n Go and SmartTAG ) users. The reward will be in the form reload value of 20% upon reaching the usage of 100 times within one calendar month for Touch ‘n Go and SmartTAG users.

I hope this clears the matter out. If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact  Touch ‘n Go Careline Centre at 03-7628 5115 (7.30am to 9.30pm : Monday to Sunday), email to careline@touchngo.com.my or logon to their website, at www.touchngo.com.my for more information. They will be glad to assist you. Thanks Touch’n Go for the quick response.

First of all we would like to say thank you to Cik Peah for selecting our entry as the winner for her recent “Love to me is…” contest. We did not have any plan to go for a movie at the cinema since that would be talking crowded places and limited parking spaces. However, the prize that we got gave us an excuse to go for a movie at the cinema again and the fact that it’s on CNY, we were expecting the place to be practically empty. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

That’s what we won from the contest and we decided to go watch Yogi Bear at the Cathay Cineplex e@Curve.

Pasha was very excited especially when he got his box of popcorns!

The movie was OK. It was quite dry in the middle but the starting and ending was quite hilarious. Pasha loves fountain and right after the movie, he insisted on visiting the fountain. Look at the place. Empty as expected. Just the way we like it.

We had lunch at the Bumbu Desa, The Curve. We were sitting outside when we first came but the smelly smoke and ashes came flying from that woman wearing the tudung, in the pic, drove us inside. What an inconsiderate smoker! As for the food, it was so-so. So, don’t really feel like writing about that.

All in all, it was one great family outing!

It’s time to perform the solat and this year we were back to the same place where we perform our solat last two years. Unlike in Malaysia where we usually do our prayer at mosques, in Jakarta, it’s done not only in mosques but other places where many people can fit in and do prayers together. As for us, it was the car park of one of the government agencies there.

On the way to the solat area. Papa Bear, Pasha and Akung. On the next pic, Mama Pasha, Aunty Sita and Aunty Ruri.

Pasha and her aunties and Pasha watching as everyone getting ready to pray.

Upin, Ipin and Hello Kitty and a family pose on the way back from the prayer.

This was the second time that we took Pasha for the Solat Raya. The first time was last year in Kuala Lipis but he was still too small and it did not end up well. This year, at 3 years old, he was able to enjoy it.

Ramadhan is around the corner! Every Muslims are getting ready for the fasting month. As for us, last Saturday, we joined the celebration of Indonesia’s 65th Independence day at Tasik Titiwangsa. It is supposed to be held on the 17th of August but due to Ramadhan, the celebration was done earlier. Mama Pasha rented a table to sell cupcakes and cookies.

Mama Pasha and her cupcakes, cookies and chocolate lollies.

We managed to sell almost everything! So, it was the effort of getting up at 6am and arriving there at 7:30am. You can read more about it at Bazzar Hari Kemerdekaan RI yang ke 65. The entry is in Indonesian. Let me know if you need any translation. Nevertheless, you can always look at more pictures over there.

Pasha and Dana

And Pasha, as usual would always be with us. He minded his own business and it was not really a hassle for us to have him around. Just get him to be preoccupied with something and we could go about doing our stuffs. By the way, pretty girls always do the trick…

Papa Bear and his favorite pose…

You! That’s me with my MIL. I just finished my lunch + teh botol + a banana + teh tarik. Despite the pose, I had a great nasi padang at Seri Garuda, Kampung Baru. Yes, we went there again. That was our second time there since Mama Pasha was craving for nasi padang.

Papa Bear’s lunch

1. White rice
2. Ikan Merah (gulai) aka Red snapper (curry)
3. Hati lembu aka Liver (ox)
4. Terung aka eggplant
5. Urat Tunjang (gulai) aka Beef tendon (curry)

How’s that? Can you eat what I ate?

There is a place where Pasha likes to go on weekends. This is the place for him to release all his excess energy as well as an opportunity to get out of the house and meet other kids out there. This place is called Kizsports and Gym. There are a few outlets out there but the one in One Utama is the best for him.

This is one of his favorites. A little swimming pool where he can slide into those colorful balls. Those balls are generally harmless. Most of them would hit your head with a thud but a few of them would hit your head with a “ke-tonk” sound… Those are the few harder ones. We would normally be throwing balls into the pool as well as at each other over here.

And this is the one that Pasha likes the most out of his favorites. You need to climb all the way up there and go down via that spiralling green tube that you can see a bit  on the left of this picture. The entrance to the tube is where you see a red pail hanging by a pulley as shown. Mama Pasha and Pasha are up there on the second last landing before shooting down the green tube.

That’s where you come out. Both of them made 10 trips into the green tube and Pasha still wanted more… 10 times! Bravo Mama!

And yes, Papa Bear did it too. Once only! It was harder than it looked. You had to crawl through series of tubes, netting and climb up multiple landings to get to the top. I kept on asking Pasha to wait for me as he was zip-zapping his way to the top. He even gave me the stop-whining-and-hurry-up look as I asked him to wait at every landing… Banyak betul energy budak2 rupanya…

For those who prefer a less strenuous action, the big slide is a good choice at it is quite easy to reach and you can take your own sweet time sliding down as the slide angle is not that steep.

And finally, the good boy deserved a good kiss from Mama… By the way, Pasha refused to go home and we had to “bait” him with a trip to Toys R Us… And he grabbed the Action Chugger there…

Last Saturday we decided to have lunch at another restaurant in Seksyen 9, Shah Alam, just at the corner behind the Nasi King. The place is called Ani Sup Utara or can be translated as Ani’s Northern Soup… Canggih jugak bunyi nya…

Pasha eating strawberry yogurt while waiting for the food and Mama’s Bandung Cincau.

Those were the food that we ordered. Mama took her chance with the Ayam Penyet (top 2 pictures) after huge dissatisfaction with the Ayam Penyet at Ayam Penyet AP. Again, it was not up to her expectation even though, to me, the chicken here was much better than the one at Ayam Penyet AP.

I tried the Mee Sup Daging (bottom left). The Beef Noodle was quite nice but on a whole, there was nothing really special about this dish. It was just another noodles in soup…

Not fully satisfied, I went for the Nasi Lemak Bungkus. Finally, this Nasi Lemak Bungkus (last picture) was something worth trying. It was good. Not too sweet and not too hot. Just nice! No wonder Papa is getting bigger, sideways, eh….

More pictures of us eating and eating and eating and Pasha with another serving of strawberry yogurt…

That’s how the restaurant looks like and an out of focus logo of the place. Read the tag line: Ingat Sup… Ingat Ani Sup Utara… Ya la….

There you go, another foodie entry from us. Will there be a third food entry in a row? Just wait and see….

We were in KL last Friday, June 25, 2010. I had a meeting at Menara Perak while Mama Pasha had to do her driving license verification at the Embassy of Indonesia so that she would be able to convert her Indonesia driving license to Malaysian driving license so that she could legally drive… shhhh…

Our tasks completed by lunch time and we decided to try out the Nasi Padang at Restoran Seri Garuda Emas in Kampung Baru. With the aid of GPS, we managed to find the place located at Jalan Raja Alang, Kampung Baru… right across the street from the 7-11.

Pasha drinking Papa’s Teh Botol and RockMama reading the TKI newsletter.

We were hungry so we went and chose whatever we wanted to eat and we ate. As simple as that. I took the Ayam Pop. Prawns with Petai, a hard boiled Egg in yellow gravy and Mama as usual, took the Ayam Panggang and Tempe along with some Soup for Pasha. Teh Botol was available there too. In bottles and not boxes!

Since this is a hungry people blog and not a food blog, the above is as much food details as you can have…

I like the Ayam Pop here. It was better than Sari Ratu’s and as good as Pak Datuk’s in Melaka. Mama Pasha did not quite like her Ayam Panggang. I think it is a sign that she needs to go back to Jakarta or Dumai…

Pasha attacking the Es Teler and the bunting saying that they are now open 24 hours.

The Es Teler was not quite the same that we used to have. The main ingredient, Jack Fruit, was noticeably missing from this one. It was more something in between ABC and Es Teler…

Mama and Pasha and the Es Teler and Thata and Wewit/WitWit (not sure about the name arr…) that came later…

If you want to add another Nasi Padang place to your list, head over to Jalan Raja Alang in Kampung Baru or if you are using a GPS, look for Garuda. If you can’t f ind Garuda on your GPS, yor map is not up to date… Ciao!
