Entertainment industry had been expanding tremendously in the seahorse city recent years. In accordance to higher demand, supply is getting competitive to fulfil the needs of its call. TGV Cinemas grabbing this golden opportunity and came into the city as a saviour just in time. Not only it gives the already well known cinematic experiences, definitely it has given the people alternate choice instead of just one company who monopolise the market. Forgive me for elaborating it, being a business student, I can hardly forget the demand and supply chart that had haunted the mind for years. Great pleasure again and gratitude to TGV Cinemas for inviting us, the Sarawak Bloggers to be part of the media for such precious moment. It's not only their first cinema in Miri, Sarawak but also their first cinema in East Malaysia.

Starbucks is just something pretty common among the people these days. Despite the coffee bean they are famous with, branding is definitely their greatest selling point.  This newly open cafe which I had made a few attempt to drop by but failed because it was fully occupied. Not surprised since it is newly open just for a week. Trying my luck again tonight and I got myself a table for 4. Wasn't so bad after all to be alone. But then after I was changed to a table for 2 which was totally fine for me because I was pre-informed at the cashier counter when I made my ordered.

Jazz into your dream world with their soothing music if you are al...

What I am about to share here is my journey fighting acne and of course medication treatment that Ï had seek during the journey with local doctor. I am sharing what I had been through and of most important, where to seek for medication.
