Shoe Gallery, A Heavenly Sanctuary For Like Minded Shoe Lovers
Shoe Gallery by Parkson from afar
I bet you have read this from many blogs who already been there and experience the shopping facility that this place has provided. Since I worked quite nearby this place and I often have a stroll inside this hyped shopping gallery, I decide to give myself a chance to absorb the atmosphere. Not really a shoe lover as I shop for shoes only once every 6 months.

Shoe Gallery Shop Layout
I am more interested with the layout of the "Shoe Gallery" instead and knowing it is part of Parkson's initiative to bring another alternative shopping atmosphere to their customers, I guess they deserve a big clap. Not only we can spot a neat arrangement of shoes there but the way they did the interior designs are just so sophisticated. I feel like walking into Harrods or something, it manages to capture my eyes to walk my way into the gallery.

Shoe Gallery - The Look From Inside
There are few of the brands featured that I barely recognized but some of them are the brands that I used to. If you are familiar with all the brands there then it would be great because there are a lot of selection that will make you crazy in the end.

Another great thing, you can finally breathe freely as there are no more annoying salesman or salesgirl to follow you around while you are looking around for your shoes. Although I appreciate their help a lot but it feels more refreshing and calm when no one is actually following you around while you are navigating around.

Farewell to the Shoe Gallery
So I leave you here with the enchanting atmosphere that I manage to capture while I was there. Enjoy the photos and hope you will visit it without too much hopes because you might later regret it. But for me it is an enticing sight to feast on an even if you are not buying anything, it is still worthwhile of your visit.

How I Manage My Career Transition And Avoid Getting Stuck In One Direction

How I Manage My Career Transition And Avoid Getting Stuck In One Direction
Career Transition
I bet everyone experience the same thing as what I am experiencing right now, career transition. And trust me you won't believe if I tell you it is my 6th job throughout my career progression since 2010. I always believe in fate and luck when it comes to choosing my future path. Rest is assured that I count on the people that is close to me for everything that I need in term of support and so on.

Nobody will respect people who continuously needs help from their parents in term of money. It is the right time to start earning yourself. I learn everything the hard way because I have experience getting ditch by a company who doesn't really know their business direction. But thankfully it is the matter of survival that counts here, not for me but for everyone out there.

Believe in yourself
My plan is simple, just go with what you believe you can do. Never go overboard with your dream because you should stick to what you know and learn how you can expand it better. I've been a web developer, web editor, writer and blogger it is not an easy path when you still don't know what your strengths are and where is your passion in.

Always give the best in what you believe is worthy of your full attention. You are not in it for a while but you are in it for a lifetime. A wrong step can have a deadly effect on you later. Once you know where does your passion really lies, you will learn how to use it to your own advantage later.

Finally remember that nobody is born perfect. I start from below and with totally zero knowledge and most things that I handle today. The more you meet with other people then the more you will learn because networking is the best way for you to absorb new knowledge. Working with other people helps you realize what is your worth.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT 28 FIREPLACE COFFEE HOUSE

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT 28 FIREPLACE COFFEE HOUSE
The counter with our handsome shop owner

Wow today is another long day for me. Apparently working full time and being a part-time blogger do change me a lot and I have decided to put my effort on everything which I think will do something good for me and the rest. Normally I tend to skip my lunch because nothing is considered interesting can be found around my working area. I have been tasting almost the same food for the whole time I was there and I thought, it's time for me to try out something new.

The atmosphere which I gauge about

Lucky me, my boss suggested that we go for a late lunch at a vibrant coffee shop that served something that is out of your expectation, 28 Fireplace. The cozy coffee shop is located downtown near Persiaran Ampang and it is considered a well-hidden place where you can enjoy the real town shop atmosphere. It is rather tough to search for a perfect parking spot but our team manage to get away with it smoothly.

The enchanting interior

Taking your first step inside, it is a welcoming fragrance of coffee varieties which gives out an aromatic greeting to us all. For non-coffee lovers like me, trying out a meal here is something that I consider as a challenge because besides coffee, most of the beverages served in here are mostly something that I rarely tried at home. So my first time here will be a great opportunity to break free from my comfort zone.

My iced chocolate

First the drink that I ordered as recommended by my office mate, the iced chocolate and damn, it really doesn't taste like the common iced chocolate that I used to have elsewhere. The mild milky taste and the less sugary chocolate mixed well enough that I didn't notice that I finished it easily. There is no need for me to add any sugar or extra milk because the mixture they put is just perfect.

My Grilled Chicken & Presto Pasta

Next, my main meal is served in a delighted ambiance as everyone is hungry and waiting patiently for their meal to be served. The Grilled Chicken and Pesto Pasta is truly scrumptious and they are so generous with their ingredients there. It is rather a bit oily for me but I definitely loved the taste of cheese in there. The herbs and spices are just in the right amount that I can handle.

Our birthday babies

Next the birthday celebration which is the most anticipating event as I just loved birthday cake. My friend chosen the amazing Tiramisu cake which is filled with coffee, cream, chocolate, caramel sauce and plenty of nuts. I get crazy just by looking at it alone. But due to my restricted diet, I have to cut down to one slice only but it is definitely worth it.

Gathering to remember

I truly recommend this place if you want to search for a cozy and intimate place for gathering or meeting because you will get the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere which can clear your mind off your problem.

5 Criteria Of An Ideal Accommodation In Kuala Lumpur
You are finally landed in your desired destination and yet you still are up for a few lookouts especially your accommodations, or the place where you will be staying for a while. For honeymooners and families alike, the type of accommodations really have a big influences to their preference to stay because they need a comfortable space for each of them and privacy that will come together with what they have booked. Different with backpackers, most of them don’t really care much about the type of accommodations being offered just enough that it is clean and comfortable to stay. Here are a few criteria that people will look for when choosing their accommodation:


Image courtesy: Easy Hotel.my
1. LOCATION
First thing people would consider when choosing their accommodation, is the location. Is the location ideal enough, easy access to popular attractions, famous restaurants and maybe the most important thing that people will look out for, if it was accessible through public transport? If the place has all that is mentioned above, there’s a high chance that people will opt for it considering what it has to offer.



Image courtesy: Agoda.com
2. BUDGET- AFFORDABLE
The next thing that people will put under consideration is the price, is it affordable and will it cause their budget to go overboard while spending their time there. If it was too pricey, then they will need to consider other factors also. If the price gets too low, then people will think something must be wrong with that place. The best option they will go normally is the affordable one where the price is not too high or too low just good for them and their budget.

3. FACILITIES
Everyone will be looking for different sort of facilities that a certain hotel would have to offer. Also it can be served according to the price as some of the facilities come with a package which will go together with the price. For example Wi-Fi is the important need these days including other facilities such as shower, small fridge and television so without these, the stay won’t be any good at all.

4. CONDITION OF THE HOTEL
Yes, this should be a must to be considered every time you are choosing a place to stay even it is just for overnight. The condition of the hotel play as much as an important role to determine whether it can be a perfect place to stay for the night or else. Cleanliness should be an important factor to consider because we don’t think you can live in a dirty place even for a night.

5. CHARACTERISTICS

As much as all the criteria stated above, you can’t stay away from the fact that the character of the hotel sometimes will draw you closer to it right? If the hotel has its own history, which can definitely make the place more intriguing for the visitors, the more people will get drawn into such place because it is full with character and having their own story to tell will make the entire place so much fascinating to visit and stay.
