My good friend and I attended the grand opening of Li Shan Shan Tea 李山山茶事 on 30 October 2026 at Sunway Velocity. It was a lovely day filled with refreshing tea, fun activities and festive celebrations! Li Shan Shan Tea 李山山茶事 has officially opened its first outlet at Sunway Velocity, bringing tea lovers a new place to enjoy their favourite tea treats. 

During the event, we also had the opportunity to see several VIP guests who attended the grand opening. There was a special tasting session for the public, where guests could sample some of their drinks. 

Upon arrival, we explored the outlet and enjoyed the welcoming surroundings. There were several beautiful flower stands placed around the venue, adding a lovely decorative touch and making the place look even more festive.

Of course, my good friend and I were excited to try the drinks. We also took part in a fun activity by writing our wishes on the wishing wall. In return, we received either a lovely souvenir sticker or a fridge magnet. What a nice little surprise! 

As more guests arrived, the atmosphere became livelier. There was also a long queue at the outlet, as many customers were excited to enjoy the attractive grand opening promotions. It was clear that the special promotion had drawn quite a crowd!

Grand Opening Promotions (30 October – 1 November 2026)

There were several exciting promotions for visitors to enjoy:

• Buy 1 Free 1 - Enjoy your favourite tea and share one with a friend!
• Free Limited-Edition Fridge Magnet - Available to the first 300 customers. Simply take a photo, share it on social media and check in to redeem one.
• Free Limited-Edition Cup - Available to the first 50 customers on the grand opening day.

My friend and I decided to purchase drinks because we wanted to get the limited-edition fridge magnet. To redeem it, we had to snap a photo, share it on social media and tag Li Shan Shan Tea with the given hashtag. It was a fun little activity and we were happy to bring home a souvenir from the special occasion. We decided to try two drinks: Mo Shang Green Grape Milk Tea and Sui Mi Pu Er Milk Tea with Milk Cloud Top. After tasting both beverages, both drinks had a rich, creamy and milky taste. However, I found the milk flavour more noticeable than the tea aroma. Between the two, I personally preferred the Sui Mi Pu Er Milk Tea with Milk Cloud Top. I enjoyed its taste more!

One of the activities that caught our attention was the complimentary canvas printing! We were so happy to get it, as it was our first time experiencing this kind of canvas printing. We had the opportunity to choose our favourite photos, including some precious family moments, to be printed on canvas. What a lovely keepsake!

The printing process took about an hour to complete. While waiting, my good friend and I took the opportunity to explore the place, look around and enjoy some relaxing time together. It was nice to chill out, catch up and make the most of our time while waiting for our canvas prints. Meanwhile, the staff were busy preparing and serving drinks as many guests were excited to enjoy the opening deals. It was certainly a hectic but exciting day for the team!

The excitement continued with the appearance of the God of Wealth, a lively lion dance performance and a wonderful Chinese orchestra performance. We also got to witness the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the official opening of the outlet. The combination of these celebrations made the grand opening even more festive, lively and memorable. We enjoyed being part of this special occasion.

What a wonderful weekend! My good friend, Selina and I visited Homey Paws, a newly opened pet shop in SS 3, Petaling Jaya during its soft opening from 22 to 25 October. A big thank you to my friend, Edward for inviting us to explore this newly opened shop. It was nice to discover a new place dedicated to our furry friends.

From what I saw during our visit, Homey Paws is a place dedicated to caring for pets, especially dogs. It offers a variety of products and services for our furry friends, including retail products, grooming, pet accommodation, and daycare.

When we stepped into the shop, I noticed it is a bright, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. There was a variety of pet products from different brands, including N&D, Farmina, Nature's Protection, Brit, NanoVet, Acana, Orijen, Royal Canin, and True Iconic, giving pet owners different options to explore.

Another nice feature was the seating area where customers could sit back and relax. Complimentary coffee was available for customers to enjoy while waiting for their pets during grooming sessions. It was a thoughtful touch for pet owners who wanted to unwind and enjoy a cup of coffee while their furry companions were being pampered.

Another highlight of our visit was seeing the winners of the "Say Cheese With Your Furry Bestie" contest! The first, second, and third place winners came to Homey Paws during its soft opening to collect their prizes, bringing their adorable furry companions along. It was lovely to see them sharing these special moments with their pets. Their presence added extra excitement and made the soft opening even more memorable. Congratulations to all the winners! Wishing you and your furry besties many more happy moments together. 

Besides retail products and grooming services, Homey Paws also provides pet accommodation and daycare for dogs. During our visit, we learned that the pet hotel has 14 suites, each equipped with its own CCTV camera. This allows owners to check on their dogs remotely while they are away. For example, if you are going on holiday or have other commitments that require you to be away from home, you may consider arranging a stay for your dog at a pet hotel. Being able to check on your furry companion through CCTV can be reassuring and give you peace of mind while you are apart. 

Homey Paws also offers daycare services for dogs, which may be suitable for owners who need a place for their furry companions to stay during the day while they are busy with work or other commitments. These services are useful options for dog owners who occasionally need someone to look after their pets.

Another service available at Homey Paws is dog grooming. Just like us, our furry friends need proper care to keep themselves clean and comfortable. We also noticed that the shop has separate grooming and bathing areas. It was interesting to see how the different spaces were arranged for their respective purposes. If you are planning to bring your dog for a grooming session, you can check out the different packages available to see which one suits your needs. The grooming packages come at different prices, depending on the services included. So it's best to visit their official Facebook or Instagram page for the latest package details before making an appointment.

Overall, it was interesting to explore the different facilities at Homey Paws and learn more about the services available for dogs. It was a lovely little outing with Selina and I would like to thank Edward again for inviting us to visit.

If you have a dog, you may want to find out more about Homey Paws and the services they offer.

Being Carried is a theatre performance that explores the lived experiences of disabled, Deaf, and neurodivergent people. Through monologues, movement, sound, and visual and spoken languages, the performers shared different perspectives and explored ideas about care, support, and how we carry one another through life. The performance was also a collaboration between Malaysia and the UK.

Back on 24 July 2026, one of my good friends, Kimberly, asked me if I would like to join her to watch Being Carried at KLPAC. Of course, I was happy to join her. I was quite surprised to see that the performance had received so much attention from the public and was sold out. There are KLPAC's offlical tickets were available through online booking only, so we managed to get ours and looked forward to watching the performance.

When the performance started, the stage was dark and quiet at certain moments, which created a different atmosphere. The audience was also advised not to use mobile phones for taking photos or recording during the performance, so I did not take any photos or videos. Instead, I focused fully on the performance and enjoyed watching the performers.

What I found most interesting was how the performers, who came from different backgrounds and had different disabilities, were able to come together and express themselves through their own experiences and feelings. It was quite unique to see their stories brought to the stage in different ways.

I was proud and happy to see my friend, Gejaletchumi, as one of the performers. I could see how much she had improved in her expressions and performance, which made me really happy to see her progress. It was wonderful to see her confidence and effort shining through on stage.

After the performance, all the performers took part in a Q&A session with the audience. It was a nice opportunity to hear more from them and learn about their experiences and thoughts behind the performance. I enjoyed listening to their answers and getting a little more insight into what we had just watched.

I was also glad to see some of my friends there. It was a nice surprise to meet them and made the day even more enjoyable.

Before we left, we were also happy to have the opportunity to take photos with a few of the performers and Grace, the producer of Being Carried. It was really nice to have this special moment together and capture some memories from the day.

This time, I wanted to tell you a little about a restaurant that closed not long ago - Zenitsu Japanese Dining Restaurant.

Two month ago, my family and I went to Zenitsu Japanese Dining Restaurant for one last meal on its final day of operation. For the past two to three years, Zenitsu had been one of our favorite places to eat. We kept coming back not only for the delicious food but also for the warm atmosphere and the wonderful dining experience.

Knowing that this would be our final visit made the occasion feel especially bittersweet. After so many enjoyable meals and memories here, it was difficult to say goodbye to a restaurant that had become such a special part of our family’s dining journey.

One of the things we really liked about this restaurant was its convenient location. It was very close to our home, and we could easily walk there in just around 5 to 10 minutes. Because of how convenient it was, it became one of our family's go-to places whenever we wanted to have a meal together.

If I’m not mistaken, this eatery had been operating for around three years. So, when we found out that it was going to close down, I was quite surprised and saddened by the news. I honestly didn't expect it, especially because we had always enjoyed the food.

Our Final Visit

Knowing that it would be our last visit made the meal feel a little different. We wanted to enjoy our favorite dishes one more time and make one final memory at a restaurant that had been part of our family dining experiences for the past few years.

Usually, my family would go for the lunch set meals. We found the prices quite reasonable, and the best part was that the tea came with free refills. We also got one scoop of ice cream for free, which was a nice little treat after our meal! 

The complimentary ice cream was especially a favorite with my two nieces. They were so happy to get their ice cream after the meal. It was such a cute little moment, and I'm sure they will miss having it here too. 

The food

Overall, we really enjoyed the food and found the dishes quite delicious. The food was definitely one of the main reasons we kept coming back to this restaurant over the years.

We particularly enjoyed having the lunch sets because they were reasonably priced and came with free-refill tea and a complimentary scoop of ice cream. For our family, it was a nice combination of good food and good value.

Although the restaurant has now closed, I'm glad that we had the opportunity to enjoy the food one final time.

The Environment & Service

As for the environment, the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with slightly darker tones. Despite the darker interior, it felt calm and quiet, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family.

The service was quite good as well, which made our dining experience more pleasant. We could enjoy our meal comfortably while spending time together as a family.

The combination of the food, atmosphere, service, and convenient location made Zenitsu Japanese Dining Restaurant a place that our family enjoyed visiting regularly.

A Conversation With Owner

During our final visit, my family also had a chance to speak with the owner of the eatery.

We learned that there was a reason behind the decision to close the restaurant. While it was sad to hear that the restaurant was closing, we were also happy to know that they have not given up on the food and beverage business.

They hope to continue their journey in the F&B industry, and I sincerely wish them all the best in whatever comes next.

I also hope to see them open a new restaurant one day. It would be wonderful to see them continue doing what they love and give us another chance to enjoy their delicious food.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to enjoy their food again someday. 

Many Customers Will Miss This Place

I believe that the regular customers who had dined at this restaurant before would also be surprised by the news of its closure. I'm sure many of them will miss this place, especially those who had their own favourite dishes and memories here.

For my family, Zenitsu Japanese Dining Restaurant was more than just somewhere to have a meal. We had been coming here for almost two to three years, and because it was so close to our home, it naturally became one of our favourite places for family dining.

My two nieces especially loved coming here. They always enjoyed their meals and were particularly happy whenever they received their complimentary ice cream. 

Sometimes, it is the simple moments like enjoying a meal together, chatting with family, and having ice cream afterwards that become the memories we remember the most.

A Final Goodbye

Although Zenitsu Japanese Dining Restaurant has now closed, I still wanted to share my experience with you. 

After all, just because a restaurant has closed doesn't mean the memories we made there have to disappear.

I'm glad that my family and I had the chance to visit one last time on its final day. We enjoyed our favorite food, had our complimentary ice cream, spent time together, and made one final memory there.

It is always a little sad to say goodbye to a favorite place, especially when it has been part of your family's life for several years. Nevertheless, I hope the owner and their team will have a wonderful new beginning in the future.

Who knows? Maybe one day, we will get to visit their new restaurant and enjoy their delicious food again.

Until then, thank you, Zenitsu Japanese Dining Restaurant, for all the good meals, family moments, and wonderful memories. ❤️
