Oh yes, they are... HANDSOME, I mean.. what more can I say? Dah memang handsome, nak buat macam mana? Oklah, these are for those readers who searched for the four princes dengan tak jemu-jemu..almost everyday okeh, ada beratus-ratus search for them.

KL and JB among most expensive Asian cities

SINGAPORE: Kuala Lumpur, Johor Baru and George Town are among the cities which are gaining reputation as the most expensive ones in Asia.

An ECA International survey on the 50 most expensive Asian cities ranked Kuala Lumpur at number 38, Johor Baru (40th) and George Town (42nd).

Globally, Kuala Lumpur is placed 210th, Johor Baru (216th) and George Town (218th).

According to ECA, strong currencies were pushing up the cost of living in Asian locations.

Tokyo, it said, remained the most expensive city in Asia due to the appreciation of the yen against other major currencies.

Others are Beijing (ranked 5th), Shanghai (6th), Hong Kong (7th) and Singapore (10th).

ECA regional director for Asia Lee Quane said the strengthening of Asian currencies was the factor which contributed to the region being more expensive for visitors than it was a year ago.

The cost of living survey is carried out by ECA bi-annually by comparing a basket of commonly purchased consumer goods and services in 370 locations worldwide. — Bernama

Recently...

It's been quite a while since I last posted about the royal family of Johor. I notice that there are too many search keywords of the Raja Muda of Johor in my blog stats. And not just from Malaysia... from all over the world! So, in conjunction with His Majesty The Sultan of Johor's 77th Birthday, here goes...

@ JB City Square

a long due entry, this was during a week after Jedi Youngling's second birthday (April 19). Kokti, Jedi Youngling and myself went to JB City Square with one similar objective in mind. Unfortunately, for some inevitable reasons, kita tak dapat nak melaksanakan objective tu. So we walked to SDS and had a late breakfast (or an early lunch, take your pick).

mama busy, dia pun busy tengok menu...

" mama wants this..."
".. and I want this..."
Okay!

tak ingat air apa yang kita order.. but the fancy glass tu air for Kokti, the shorter glass for Anis and yang dalam cawan was for myself.

ni... Singaporean Fried Mee ke apa nama dia.. verrry inviting kan?


bubuh sikit dalam plate lain, share sama itu adik baju pink ;)



while I opted for Chicken Spaghetti.. biasalah born Italian, what to do..

Makan dengan Mama...

Minum pun Mama dia suap...

while waiting for Kokti to get something for DC, we walked around.. snap some photos..

Naik tingkat atas, Kokti sudah nampak satu mini-shop yang ada jual Dora The Explorer punya stuffs. Apa lagi, berkenan dengan baju-baju Dora.....

berlebih afdal bila depan mini shop tu ialah MPH.....

adik baju pink ni bila masuk je kedai buku, dia pun akan terus roaming... dia memang suka betul kedai buku...

macam-macam gaya, terkejar-kejar Mama dia ikutkan dia, sedangkan Mama pun tengah cari cookbook sebenarnya...

dah beli buku, kita pun turun nak pergi carpark...

Kalau nak tahu cerita seterusnya, tunggulah entry selepas ni, okay? Mungkin ada sedikit surprise untuk sesiapa yang bertuah.. TUNGGU!

Buildings in JB City

Now, these was taken a few weeks ago, on April 6. My sisters' birthday. Yes, sisters. I have two sisters, both were born on April 6, different year. Not twins, though. I took these when I was on an errand with my sister, my brother and my niece.

just parked the car.. well the buildings are not clear from here. wait for a while.. am going out..

the Sultan Ibrahim Building where most of the state government offices are situated at... in the not so distant future they will all move to Nusajaya (JSNAC).

and this is the building for the Johor Military Force (JMF) or Askar Timbalan Setia Negeri ~ the private royal military force of the Johor Royal Family.

a view of the Jalan Abdullah Ibrahim on one Sunday Afternoon...

this is the entrance to the Johor Corporation Tower, which is adjacent to the Kotaraya Building..

now, it's clear. much better. presenting The Puteri Pacific Hotel (left) and the Ansar Tower (right).

and this.. is the well-known Persada Johor. I mean this building, which looks like the shape of a hat. The unique roof is actually shaped after the State Ruler's Official Hat. You can read all about it in the Persada website.

the taller building would be the Landmark Tower and the slightly shorter one is the Tropical Inn Hotel.
