THE FIRST WEEKEND WITH THE BATIK INFLUENCER AND THE HATTED WRITER

The first weekend of 2025 has brought unexpected challenges, prompting reflection on emotions and choices. Jeannie, the Batik Influencer, showcases her vibrant designs at Amcorp Shopping Mall alongside her husband Alan, the writer.

The first Saturday and Sunday, which is the first weekend of the year, 2025. Into the 4th day of the year, with 361 days to the end of the year; just in case you are counting.😂 The first three days has put us through the paces with challenges (for the want of a better word) which we didn’t see coming, and those that we knew were on the horizon but kept putting them off “to a later…

AT WEEKEND'S CORNER

The day began with chilly weather. After managing morning tasks, focus was then on daily health tracking, which remained a priority. The writer went on a 10.33km walk. Post errands with Laura and Jeannie, dinner plans led to a restaurant visit with...

Brr-urr-r-urr-rrr! Not sure if it’s spelt correctly. It is meant to indicate that the weather has been quite chilly today. For a short while (yes, just a teeny weeny time 😉), I thought it was just me. My resistance to cold and extreme cold weather is wearing off. The excuse…er.. reason would be , is because I am getting older? I am not the only want feeling the colder – than – it – ought – to –…

ON A FRIDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME

The writer shares his 10km daily walk experience, embracing any weather. They, the Batik Influwencer and the Hatted Writer; prepare for a booth at Amcorp Shopping Mall for the Merdeka weekend, promoting Batik Cape creations and meeting with readers.

Just got back from my 10 kilometer daily walk a short while ago. The skies were a bit overcast at the beginning of my walk / “jog?”. Then, the sun came out, with its flame flickin’ rays spurting out heat balls at us, some 93,000,000 (93 million) miles or 151.07 million km away from us here on earth. It was sufferin’ succotash hot. I continued my walk to its distance. I did not want to stop as…

THE GREEN HAT

In the morning, the Hatted Writer met the hat seller to acquire a fedora. He opted for an olive-green one, consulting with world fashion consultants. One was the Batik Influencer who promotes batik fashion. The Hatted Writer wonders if the hat will lead h

The bean vadai and the doughnut (“donut” when spelt the American way) vadai (1) was great as a quick brekkie. It was about 8.30am in the morning. Didn’t know what it was like outdoors but figured the weather was sunny as the house looked brightly illuminated by the sun. We, the Batik Influencer, Jeannie; and I were set to make our way down (or is it up?) to Amcorp Shopping Mall In P.J. (2) One…

THE PERSONA

After a meal at Burger King, while my wife shopped, I observed brand positioning. Brands associate with each other for mutual benefit. As a writer, I contemplate persona creation, believing it should be a mix of natural and crafted identity...

After lunch at the King of Burgers a.k.a. Burger King, my wife Jeannie went to do her grocery shopping and other stuff like that. I decided to do some window ogling. I find it interesting to see how major, and not so major brands, position themselves to get customers. The “why?” behind a brand for instance, can influence people to stay loyal with them for generations. I met a person, Martin,…

BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY AT F1.16

The day started with a leisurely arrival at 10:27am. The Batik Influencer and the Hatted Writer interacted with various visitors, made sales. The Hatted Writer was DJ for the afternoon, as well. The day ended past 6 pm, with the Hatted Writer feeling..

Sunday morning, 10.27am (I think). That was the time we sauntered (1) in. We carried the two biggest bags out of our car. Looking at us, one would think that we were running away from home; or was it ��ran away from home” since we had already done it; i.e. the action was already put into motion. Just before arriving here, we stopped by at New Apollos to get my “fix”. Jeannie, the Batik…

D. J. AT THE EAST WING, FUN

10.45am The morning of Chap Goh Meh. Amcorp Shopping Mall. We had “settled in”, more or less. Our things were all in place, and we were ready to meet people who were expected to come in and see what we had to offer. The Batik Influencer put in many last minute hours (Hmm.. what are “last minute hours?”) to ready a couple more of her Batik Cape Creations under her label, “Jeannie’s Own”. So, yes,…

CHILLING AT MID-VALLEY

The writer and the Batik Influencer enjoys a day at Mid-Valley Shopping Mall during Chinese New Year, exploring hat stores, Metrojaya, Zara and CNY decorations. Trying on hats and seeking opinions, the writer finally choose a bronze Panama hat.

Still in the celebrative mood of Chinese New Year… Jeannie wanted to go to one of the shopping malls to do a bit of shopping. She suggested Mid-Valley Shopping Mall. Traffic was good all the way to the mall. It probably is a good time to sight-see K.L. (1) Getting a parking bay at our usual parking area (Yes, I do a usual area where I park my car, can easily find it, and then; quite quickly exit…

THAT'S A GOOD THING

The weekend was filled with new experiences at the F1.16 booth, featuring Batik Capes, Hotwheels, hats, ang pow packets. An unexpected encounter with friends and new acquaintances made the day memorable. Sold-out items, engaging conversations,...

A fun weekend it was. We were at our F1.16 booth, setting up all the things we were putting up on sale. There were lots of new things we brought this weekend. Some of those new things included hats and angpow packets. For our readers who are connecting from over 80 countries; the ang pow packets are in connection and celebration of the lunar new year or “Chinese New Year”, as it is known in…

DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION?

After work, Laura, Jeannie and the Hatted Writer joined for dinner at a (Scottish?) restaurant. Family times: Good times. Traffic made the journey to SS15 a challenge due to a broken down DHL truck. At the restaurant, they enjoyed their meals, with the

Monday evening. Time: 6.07pm. Place: D.C. No, not Washington. Damansara City. Jeannie and Laura are with me after work. Laura was not going to the gym this evening. Getting back to Subang Jaya was the usual crawl, slower than a snail moving in reverse. We did not have that usual question pop up: “What are we going to have for dinner?” Laura straight away said that dinner will be at that…
