Easy Shopping & Reduce your family expenses – Some tips & tricks

/

Easy Shopping & Reduce your family expenses – Some tips & tricks We can see drastic price hike recently which already impacted so many households. Like I gave the best ever tip to my friend “Enthutti” for reducing his monthly expense and that is – “just to control his shopping”😜lol. Just joking. Today I am here with you to introduce some apps for our daily life usage in Malaysia and some crazy features of it which I enjoyed personally. Now a days our daily life is running on mobile apps and e-wallets. So let me tell you some interesting facts about e-wallets in Malaysia which I am using and will be really useful for you all. Touch & Go As the name indicates, it was just a card which we using for so long in public transport, toll and even for shopping – just touch the card and go ahead. Now they already have a mobile app which got millions of users already. Now let me explain you some nice as well as crazy features we are enjoying in this along with basic payment facility. We can get monthly interest if we upgrade e-wallet to GO+ (For Malaysians). For every 2nd payment in T&G, they giving us a reward which we can redeem to vouchers such as cashback in mynews, baskin Robins, cashback in touch & go itself and even lucky draws to win latest iPhone etc. Got an option “A+ Rewards” where you can get so many vouchers at discount price such as voucher for retail shops such as Mydin, KK mart, mynews, familymart, giant, food and drinks shops like tea live, iiaoiiao, kfc, food panda and even for petrol that too from 5% to 50%. Grab Along with payment options the additonal benefit is getting points for each transaction. They have a threshold and once you reach the point by certain number of transaction, you will be upgraded to next tier. Thus you will get priority in booking grab taxi service. Once your tier upgraded, you will get 3X point also for every transaction which can redeem and many other priority benefits too. A must use app for people who staying in Malaysia as you can use for your local travel too. I already got around 200 ringgits free shopping because of grab😎 (A guy even bought iPhone 14 with grab points😐) Fave 5-10% cashback with many fave pay partner shops which you can use on your next payment is a great option for public to save some money to family budget. Along with this all kind of utility payment options too. Boost Another app which I feel similar to fave where you can get cashback in many places like giant all have up to 20% cashback during a period of time. And you can get points for each transaction and also shake the phone for reward offer too. Lazada & Shopee Top priority for people in Malaysia which they love to scroll and roll, add to chart to buy things at your finger tips which will be delivering at door step. This can save your traveling expense for shopping too. Now you will be thinking what the heck he is saying as online shopping got delivery charges, right..? But guys, just take a look at vouchers in app and you can get your shopping at free delivery most of the time. So plan and proceed. If you purchase from same vendor through this app also will wave off delivery charges. You can get coins in each purchase which can redeem later. These are some apps which I personally used and enjoyed the basic facilities along with some additional crazy benefits which can help us to reduce family expense and save our hard earned money. Main highlight is that all these apps have the facilities of E-wallet with all online utility and other payment options too. But you have to choose few from this and wisely use which is best suitable and apt for you. Start using these apps by referral code through friend (ask me😉 happy to give) which can give benefit for both of you. Apps Link with referral: Shoppe Link: https://shp.ee/hfqhaxwhajr Boost App Link: https://myboost.app.link/QhXLPhE57gb?referral_code=aru7zv8 Fave App Link: https://m.myfave.com/kuala-lumpur/invite/FAVEARUN240 Grab App: https://r.grab.com/r/arun949   Share this article to your dear ones in Malaysia. Adding my skit video which reviewing the apps completely in a funny way (Malayalam Language)

Kellie’s Castle – The unfinished mystery

/

Kellie’s Castle – The unfinished mystery Picture: AM @ Kellie’s Castle   What is this place..? It’s fascinating to learn about William Kellie-Smith and his unfinished castle in Malaysia, known as Kellie’s Castle. The story of how he brought craftsmen from Madras to build the castle and their request to build a temple in return is a testament to the multicultural history of the region. The statue of a Scottish man in front of the Murugan temple is a unique blend of cultures. If you have more questions or would like to know more about Kellie’s Castle or its history, feel free to ask! It’s sad that William Kellie-Smith didn’t get to see his mansion completed as he died at the age of 56 due to phenumonia, but it’s also heartening to know that Kellie’s Castle has become a popular tourist attraction in Perak, Malaysia. The history and unique architecture of the castle must be a significant draw for visitors.

When we enter into the viral house in Malaysia

/

From the Christmas of 2018 onward, I’ve been familiar with this house ever since I married my Malaysian wife and relocated to Malaysia at the end of 2017. Every Christmas, we make it a tradition to visit this house, enjoying the festive decorations that bring a smile to our faces at zero cost – lol, sounds funny but it’s a fact. In 2022, when my video featuring this house went viral in Malaysia. Video link below: The owner, Mr. Roland, reached out to me via the website link I shared in the video. Touched by the happiness it brought to my 4-year-old boy, he extended an invitation. Although I couldn’t make it last year, I’m determined to go this year, bringing along a cake. The Christmas decorations are undeniably beautiful, creating a positive festive atmosphere. What surprised me, however, was the interior of the house, reminiscent of a European Christmas setting. During our visit, we shared laughter, stories, and had a great time connecting with Mr. Roland and his family. Beyond the charming decorations seen in the video, I discovered something even more beautiful – their pure hearts and strong ethics. There’s much more to discuss on our show, and perhaps in the future, I’ll have the opportunity to have a conversation with them. As we left the house, both of us were filled with a genuine sense of Christmas spirit. We often describe beautiful things as Christmas, and witnessing the Christmas house adds an extra layer of joy. Inspired by this experience, I’ve made a couple of decisions: 1. Next Christmas, I plan to visit with our son, Apple Boy, on the carol day. I’ll capture a video if they’re open to it, or else I’ll share the experience through my boring story telling😉. 2. Motivated by the positive impact of the Christmas house, I’ve decided to create a Christmas-themed house in Kerala. Much like Mr. Roland drew inspiration from his ex-driver’s Diwali decorations, I aim to spread positivity to others through festive lights and decorations. Short Video👇🏻 Full Video👇🏻

Space Capsule Hotel | Backpacker’s World

/

Space Capsule Hotel | Backpacker’s World Today we are going to stay at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a place nearby Petaling Street or Chinatown. One of the smallest hotel room in the world – Space Capsule Hotel. Although there is no elevator from the ground floor to reach the Capsule Hotel which is located on third floor of the building, you can get the elevator from the first floor (Need to climb few steps to reach the first floor) Entering the hotel reception with its galaxy-themed decor creates an immediate sense of awe. The space theme, showcased through paintings and overall design, is the main attraction. Moving into the hotel rooms continues this unique experience, offering a total immersion into a different and captivating atmosphere. Despite the seemingly small bed space, it offers a comfortable place to sleep. The room provides essential amenities like a TV, air conditioning, extra lights, charging ports, and even a laptop stand. Although it may be a challenge for those with claustrophobia, many, including myself, found the experience surprisingly comfortable. I shared a video and news about this unique experience, and friends who tried it also had positive feedback. This variety of bed space is an excellent option for those eager to explore Malaysia by spending most of their time exploring rather than in a traditional hotel room.

Don’t Do This While Shopping in Malaysia – DD Series #4

/

Don’t Do This While Shopping in Malaysia 🇲🇾🛍️ Things I learned from my own experience 1. Don’t assume malls are the best place to buy gold. 🪙 You’ll find plenty of jewellery malls, but if you want more choices and options, check Masjid India. Trust me, it’s a gold-shopping hub. I know the place pretty well! 😉 2. Don’t miss Low Yat Plaza for electronics — but don’t get carried away by cheap prices! 📱 You might see phones and electronics with huge discounts. But before buying, check the warranty, model, seller and customs rules in India. Imagine saving ₹30,000 on a phone and then paying ₹35,000 in tax at Kochi Airport! 😂 That’s how the whole deal goes into the water! 3. Don’t blindly buy electronics from random shops in Chinatown. Chinatown is great for bargaining and budget shopping, but for electronics, I personally prefer Low Yat Plaza. Other options include Berjaya Times Square and Mid Valley. For high-end/HIFI products, check KLCC. Chinatown = bargaining. Electronics = Low Yat Plaza. I keep adding more shopping suggestions in the comments, so check them before your trip. 4. Husbands, be careful at GPO! 😂 It looks like a budget-shopping place, but some items are branded. So before you think, “Wow, this is cheap!” — check the price properly. 😜 5. Husbands, here are some places you can explore without breaking the budget! 😂 Check out Brands Outlet, Eco Shop, DIY stores, second-hand shops and Mydin for budget-friendly shopping. And yes… maybe check the price before showing your wife! 🤣 6. Don’t assume food at Genting is always expensive. 🍜 There are reasonable options too. Muhibah Kitchen is one place to check out if you want decent food, a nice ambience and a great view without spending too much. 7. Don’t order a huge portion of durian immediately! 🥭 Try a small portion first — not just because it can be expensive, but because some people genuinely don’t like the smell or taste. Durian is a favourite among Malaysians. My wife absolutely loves it, and slowly, even I started loving it! 😂 8. Don’t forget to check your sandwich before eating. 🥪 This may sound like a silly tip, but always check your food and packaging properly. I once noticed a small pin/staple around a sandwich at TBS bus station. One tiny mistake can turn a happy day into a very bad day. So just take a second and check! 9. Don’t spend your entire Malaysia trip eating Indian food! 🇲🇾🍛 Yes, you have plenty of Indian options: * Daawat — Bukit Bintang * Alibaba — Chow Kit * M Grill — Masjid India * India Gate — Bukit Bintang * Mango — Central Market * Little India But my biggest suggestion is: try local Malaysian food too! You came all the way to Malaysia — experience the local flavours. 10. Don’t assume all airport food is expensive. 💸 Most airport restaurants can be pricey, but at KLIA Terminal 2, ABC can be a more reasonable option if you’re looking for budget-friendly food. 🛍️ Final Rule Compare prices. Check the seller. Bargain where you can. And most importantly, don’t buy something just because it looks cheap! Save money while shopping in Malaysia… don’t finish all your money shopping in Malaysia! 😂🇲🇾
