Beautiful?
Dear YouTubers / Visitors,


I've been really busy running around lately to service my clients both owners and buyers of properties. Like Music, the Real Estate is another thing that I'm really passionate about. Why? It's simple. I love things that are Tangible, Solid, Beautiful, Artistic, and most importantly, able to create a lasting ongoing residual income stream for now and generations to come.  Moreover, it's something that always appreciates at a rate surpassing the inflation rate.


In this career, I do the honor of helping owners, buyers, tenants, and investors of real estate save both time and money. I make thorough searches, advertise, arrange viewings, and negotiate on their behalf. It's really challenging.


These two videos below are just some of the bungalows that I handle that I wish to share with you guys. Enjoy the luxurious life of Malaysia!


Defining Your Dream House? 

Even from outside, the house is just picturesque! The moment you walk into a house, you'll be greeted by a beautiful perfectly maintained swimming pool with crystal clear water on your right and a relaxing family garden on your left. The moment you park your car, you'll see a little beautiful Japanese Garden with a gorgeous mini palm tree right before your main entrance. Parking is spacious enough to park approximately 5 to 6 cars. There's also another beautiful huge Garden stretching from the sides of the house to the back of it, with good quality soil perfect for plants.

Upon entering the house, you'll see a very grand living room on your right with beautiful lightings and right outside the glass doors is the relaxing porch and swimming pool. There's also a small room made as Surau beside the living room. The dining hall is located next to the living room with a huge space for stairs in between, it's beautifully decorated ceilings and lightings will make your dining experience so delicious every single day. Next to the dining hall is a huge dry and clean kitchen with a separate pantry for food storage. There's also a maid's room with bathroom at the back of the house. Prior to the maid's room is the laundry room. Right before the grand beautiful stairs is a guests' room with bathroom for your guests. Another restroom is located next to the guests' room near the stairs.

The very grand stairs in the house will lead you upstairs to 4 huge bedrooms all with bathrooms and a family lounge. There are two huge rooms which can be made as Master Bedrooms and two slightly smaller rooms connected with a study room at the back. There's also a storage room for extra storage upstairs.

The entire house was built with very high quality materials. The marble floor is so well maintained that it reflects beautifully. Ceiling of the kitchen and some bathrooms are made with the highest quality water resistant wood with nice design. Flooring from the stairs above are made from fine pieces of high quality wooden flooring. The house is fit to be passed on for generations to come. Even if it's for investment, this is definitely one of the best long term investment that lasts the longest!
A Beautiful Heaven on Earth for your family? 

Even from outside, the house is just comfortable and picturesque! The view from above, absolutely amazing!

T4Academy was one of my most recent projects. The limited liability company was formed together with three of the most hardworking and most brilliant people that I have come across in my life. We saw the opportunity, we did not hesitate, we took no rest and made huge sacrifices. We just went full force and did our best to make it a success. We named it T4A to represent the outrageous promise that all four of us will strive to keep in providing only the best to our clients.

However, due to some external factors such as unanticipated severe delays from the government departments, which is beyond our control, we had to dissolve our business to prevent further monetary losses and other opportunity costs.

Essentially, striving boldly into the business environment and enduring challenges working hard on it have made me discover things, both good and bad, about myself and business as a whole that I never really knew.

As many of my friends would know, I am not a person who's very picky when it comes to food. I eat virtually everything, from the weirdest most exotic things you can find on earth to the cheapest and dirtiest things you can find on back-streets to the most expensive things in top Michelin Stars rated restaurants. 

However, I am extremely serious with the passion that the chefs put in preparing their food. It can be the Stinkiest Tofu of China, Roasted Kangaroo Eyes of Australia, Barbeque Scorpion in Thailand, as long as they are made with passion, I can taste it like how I feel the songs that I play on the piano. Moreover, I totally hate dining in commercialized restaurants ie chains, fast food etc. I can taste the complains that employees put in their food, you know what I mean?

Today, I had lunch with my parents in this quiet little Japanese Restaurant in Federal Hotel. The name of the restaurant is Kapoh Muneharu and it is located in the Arcade One Front Entrance of Federal Hotel in the heart of Bukit Bintang, one of the most exciting tourists and locals populated area of Kuala Lumpur. The entrance of the restaurant is quite small and looks absolutely average and when I walked in, the place is small, not much interior design, but very clean. On the left is the Sushi Bar, right is 3 tables of 4, a small room at the end of the hall and a kitchen at far right. Together with my parents, we sat at the bar in front of the Chef, Muneharu Tokunaga & Mr. Safuan.

Like what I do when I dine in all other Japanese Restaurants, I ordered the largest Bento for my enormous appetite. My mum ordered Tenpura & Sashimi Set and my dad, the Bento as well.

Sitting in front of the Chef Tokunaga san, I can see his passion even from cutting our first slice of Sashimi. The Sashimi knife that he was holding, I asked, cost more than USD 3,000. Most of the ingredients that the restaurant use are freshly flown from Japan every Tuesday and Friday. Beside Chef Tokunaga san, I could also see Chef Safuan holding a part of radish with one hand and the other hand holding a knife, twisting and cutting it into one long slice so thin that it is virtually transparent. 

While chatting with Chef Tokunaga practicing my worsening Japanese Language, the appetizer came. Squid in special sauce made partly with home ground Wasabi. Oh My God!!!!! Oh My........... Oh My.......... - Usher. I ain't gonna explain further. This is my first time eating this kind of Japanese Appetizer.

Once I finished my Appetizer, another Appetizer came, the Chawanmushi. I'm very particular with Chawanmushi. To tell the difference between a good and bad Chawanmushi, just very lightly shake the cup. You'll see the egg vibrates as if it's dancing. Then smell it, it will smell heavenly if the ingredients are fresh. To me, it smells like having a nice warm dish beside the fireplace during the cold winter snowstorm.

My mum's Sashimi came first, I took a piece of her Toro (Tuna Belly), it melted in my mouth. Melt over here doesn't mean melt like M&Ms in your mouth or hand. It is the tenderness of the flesh that you can never taste in any commercialized Japanese restaurants. I really mean NEVER. Then I took a piece of her Uni (Sea Urchin) covered in Yellow Tail Sashimi. Priceless!

Two minutes later, my Bento set came. I took the first dish in front of me, the Tofu. I thought to myself, I just wanna finish the most average dish first then I'll take some time to enjoy my Sashimis. Upon touching my tongue, the texture and the taste of the ordinary looking tofu unexpectedly exploded outside and inside my mouth. I asked Chef Tokunaga, "Kono Tofu ha tokubetsu desu ne?" (This Tofu is very special) Then Chef Safuan answered. It is the result of one full hour of slowly grinding fresh soy beans and sesame together. I cut the small little tofu into Ten even tinier pieces so that I could enjoy it a little longer. If I were eating in normal Japanese restaurants, that would have gone within one third of a second, I won't even bother chewing it.

Then I thought, Tenpura should be just normal. I took a bite, I could not taste any oil at all. All I could taste is the distinct rich aroma of very crispy fresh sea prawns in really great Tenpura sauce. Those Tenpura vegetables were as if they were just harvested.

Tokunaga san asked if I wanted another bowl of rice, I was like "Okawari!" (More!)

Then on my Right was the "Tsumetai Soba" (Cold Noodles). The most outstanding feature of the Soba is not the texture, but the taste itself. Soba with a slight bouncy slight crunchy texture is great, but the secret lies in the taste of the noodle. That explains why Japanese have Char Soba (Green Tea Noodles), Malt Noodles etc. Noodles with different kind of Flavors EMBEDDED in it. This one is soooooooo good that I don't know how to type about it. I took it strand by strand.

I slowly took my time to enjoy the rest of the passionately prepared food. I thanked the Chefs and their very dedicated waitresses. Then I asked if I could take a picture with the Chefs because I really want to write down my experience, be it to be shared with you guys or just like YouTube, for my own memories, since I have the memory of a Goldfish. (I'll explain to you why Goldfish if you email me or write on my Facebook wall).

Anyway, if you guys really wanna dine there as well, here're the details. Just say that you got to know them from the Internet or perhaps mention to the Chefs Tokunaga san or Safuan san, "Ray Mak" or "Mak san no musuko". I don't know if they'll give you some special surprise.

Dear Guest,

        As you all know, I am AZN (Asian). In spite of the recent economic turmoil, most of the nations in Asia, which are developing nations, are still enjoying a healthy growth. Some of the recent very high growth nations include Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Mongolia, Cyprus, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and also other mineral and agricultural rich nations. One of the reasons, I believe, is that many Asians, are highly competitive people. We love to work, really hard, really really hard, to the extent that we sometimes neglect our health and well-being. It is also a culture here in most corporate that when any employee perform over-time jobs and working late nights, even mornings (2am-3am or non-stop), he or she is considered capable and hardworking in the eyes of their bosses. Some do not even witness sunrise and sunsets for a long period of time. Such unhealthy mindset is deeply embedded in the souls of many employees in corporate Asia especially for those working in giant firms.

        I am personally a workaholic. I love working and I am able to perform multiple tasks efficiently at all times. However, as much as I love working, I strongly oppose the idea of working too hard to the extent that we sacrifice our time with family, love ones, and friends, well-being, and most importantly health. Many individuals spend most of their time working really hard and in return, spend most of their wealth away in healthcare, beauticare, and medical expenses. Other side effects? Broken family ties, break-ups, divorces, severe health problems, and even death. There was a time in the past where I worked so hard that I was unaware of the need of going to restroom. As a result, I was physically and psychologically deteriorated. My mood was most of the time, bad.

Beauty and health, I believe, comes from within. Our body needs a break sometimes. We need to strike a balance between work and play, but most importantly rest. If you're working with computers, make sure that your eyes take a break every now and then. You will never be benefited no matter how much supplements you take, how healthy you eat, how often you exercise, if your body is not well-rested. Well, if you think your corporate provides sufficient medical insurance to cover your life, think twice. Constantly working overtime does not make you any richer. If you do not take care of yourself, no one will.

One last quote for you:

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work - Family - Health - Friends - Spirit, and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls -- family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. - James Patterson
