Disney on Ice-Princess wishes
A weekend break with a Disney on Ice show. It was my second time watching Disney on Ice show since way back when i am a young young kid then. This time the Disney on ICe show was titled Princess Wishes. I remembered the previous version I watched during my childhood time was about the Disney cartoon named Beauty and the Beast at Merdeka Stadium. My initial reaction was a bit reluctant to join my friends to watch the Disney on ice because it seems more for a children event and shows.
However, after much persuasion from my friends, I agreed to join them on the Sunday 630pm show. The special slot is for charity foundation organised by Real Foundation. It’s charity sales through Disney on ice: pricess wishes at Stadium Putra, bukit jalil. The non-profit organization provides under-privileged children living in social and welfare homes with the right to education. The ticket for the disney on ice show only cost about RM50 for normal unnumbered seat.
The Disney on ice shows lasted for almost an hour plus with the focus on seven princesses from Disney cartoon story. It includes Disney’s Snow White and seven dwarfs, Fa Mulan, Princess Jasmine (Aladdin), Princess Belle-Etoile (Beauty and the beast), Princess Aurore (Sleeping beauty), and finally Princess Ariel from the mermaid. Cool… I managed to write out all the Disney’s princess name but of course with the help of Google… haha. A funny thing, i seem to get confuse Disney’s snow white with sleeping beauty……actually i forgotten the real story about sleeping beauty haha. Anyway, the Disney on ice show refresh my childhood Disney story which i realized i have long forgotten on it.
Their ice skating skills is what incredible performance they have. Disney on ice’s performers can managed to wear those heavy costume and performed nicely on skates. Worth a watch especially for chidren and those who wanted to recall their childhood days on Disney cartoon characters.
The above are some videos from youtube regarding the Disney on ICe: Princess wishes show in Malaysia. Enjoy!
Check blacklisted status of PTPTN borrowers
I heard rumours that someone was restrain or barred from leaving the country because he/she did not settle the PTPTN loans-government study loans. I think is we should check the status of our names to make sure it is not blacklisted before we prepare to leave the country. It will be very frustrating if we will be barred from leaving the country at the Custom-Immigration counter.
If your name is listed there and blacklisted. Please try to settle it with some agreed upon amount paid back to the PTPTN to avoid any trouble in the future when leaving the country. Anyone can check their status through here. Please do check it.
Currently, payment to PTPTN can be done by using the FPX system within the e-FES of PTPTN website. On top of that, borrowers may opt to use banks like CIMB, Bank Islam, Maybank, and others to pay to their respective account. In order to log into e-FES system, borrowers have to obtain a pin number from PTPTN. They can call the hotline numbers, email, or by using sms service to obtain the pin number assigned to log into the system. E-fes system provides your online statements of all your loans.

Delicious Cafe @ The Marc Service Residence
My second visit to delicious by Ms Reed has given me a better impression on this Cafe. The first visit was at One Utama and the latest visit of this new branch was at The Marc Service Residence which is situated near Jalan Tun Razak, opposite the United States’s Embassy. This latest branch along Jalan Tun Razak is well decorated and spacious as compared to the One Utama’s branch. The ambiance of the cafe is very comfortable and peaceful. The glass windows surrounding the Cafe has given a nice view of the grenery and outside residence view.
The Cafe opens from 8am until 1am. It has a Jazz band at night and I was told it is quite popular and many made their reservations especially at night. The Cafe is situated at the first floor of the residence and the ground floor is it’s grocery shop selliing mostly imported items from cooking utensil to food to recipe books.
I ordered a Chicken and Leek Pie which turn out to be quite tasty although it perceived to be a small portion for my big appetite~! However, it did really filled me up. Anyway, the food seem overall nice but i just prefer if the Menu has more picture of what I am ordering. This is because if you have seen the Menu , you will know what I mean. The Menu looks so “Pure” and white with nice wordings and bombastic name for their dishes until you would not know what to order….
The food and drinks below is what me and my friend ordered during out visit there.
Hot Lemon Tea~~
Pasta~~
Final Verdict:
Food variety : 3.25/5
Food freshness: 3.75/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
Food Tastiness: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3/5
Service and attitude: 4/5
Overall: 18.5/30 (Above Average)
