Clean Care Toilet Pro Cleaner

Just bought and test out a Toilet bowl cleaner from New Life Malaysia. The name of this cleaner is Clean Care Toilet Pro Cleaner. Stated on the label of the product that it is biodegrable and contained no harmful chemicals or petroleum distillates. It is anti bacterial and have a pleasant fragrance smell.




I poured it on the toilet bowl, the liquid is white in color unlike most other toilet bowl cleaner where the liquid is blue or green. I still prefer the blue or green color liquid because at least I know how much liquid cleaner I have squeeze on the toilet bowl. The smell is not that pleasant but not awfully strong like Clorox. After pouring the liquid on the inside of the toilet bowl, I leave it to work for about 1 hour. I did not use the toilet brush to scrub the toilet bowl in order to see how effective is Clean Care Toilet Pro cleaner.




My view is that it did clean the toilet bowl reasonably well without scrubbing. However if I compare it with the Clorox brand toilet bowl cleaner, the Clean Care Toilet Pro Cleaner lose out in terms of strength and effectiveness on cleaning.

The Clorox brand really cleans the toilet bowl very well without brushing. However the smell of this liquid cleaner is much stronger. I even used Clorox on the floor trap of the bathroom. It keeps the floor trap clean and get rid of those small little flies as well.

Kluang Rail Coffee in Johor Bahru

There is a nice place to sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with crispy toasted butter bread. The small cafe is called the Kluang Rail Coffee in Kotaraya mall in Johor Bahru. This is really one of my favorite place to enjoy tea and butter toast bread. If you are planning to go there on a weekend, be prepared to wait for a empty table; because most of the time it is very crowded.



I normally visit Kluang Rail Coffee store on weekdays so that I can find a nice place to sit, do nothing and just enjoy my cup of tea. I seldom drink coffee, so I am not able to assess the quality of the coffee sold at this place. But I can tell you that the tea is nice and the butter toast bread is super. Also there are many coffee drinkers there enjoying their fresh brewed coffee.  This place also sell other food such as rice and noodles. If I can remember correctly it also sell peanut butter toast bread - I have not try it yet.



Kotaraya mall is about 15 minutes walk away from the Johor Bahru Immigration and Customs checkpoint. The Kluang Rail Coffee is located at the annex of the Kotaraya Mall. If you are not sure, just ask the security guard or anyone in the building for assistance. I do not liked going to those branded coffee outlets commonly found in the malls, these coffee joints simply cannot made delicious and crispy butter or kaya toast bread.



I do hope that the Kluang Rail Coffee could expand this current outlet. There is too little tables and seats available. If you want to try other food, there are also a few food outlets in this mall and the Puteri Pacific Hotel is just nearby, if you are keen in having buffet lunch.

Kids Safety on Escalators

Recently it was reported in the news that a 2 year old boy lost 4 of his fingers when he felled off an escalator at a shopping mall in Tanjong Agas at Ledang, Johor Bahru. The boy was on the descending escalator and he lost his balance, felled on the steps and got his fingers caught between the steps of the escalators which crushed his fingers.

Parents of young kids should always hold the hands of their kids when taking an escalators. Most parents forget or are ignorant that escalators are machines, it is just liked a conveyor belts to get people moving. I have seen parents letting their kids play with escalators all the time in the malls. They let their kids run, sit, jump and race down an ascending escalators. I have also seen young parents holding their prams while taking an escalators. If you are holding a pram or a kid in your arms, it would be advisable to take the lift instead.
.



Here are some safety tips to take note when riding on an escalator -

1) never ride barefoot. When wearing shoes, make sure that the shoe laces are firmly tied on your shoes and not loose.

2) don't ride with prams, walkers, shopping carts and wheel chairs.

3) always hold your kid's hand firmly. Kids at young age have not fully developed their motor and development skills. They can lose their balance easily and fall.

4) don't put your handbag, article and any objects on the handrail of the escalators. I have actually seen some parents putting their kids on the handrail for a couple of seconds - letting them sit on the handrails. These are idiotic parents.

5) don't allow your kids to loiter around the escalators. Move away from the escalator quickly after you have step off because there may be people behind you.

6) keep your feet away from the sides of the escalator steps. This is where your shoelaces, pants bottom or any object may be trapped and entangled.

7) If you are carrying shopping bags and handling a child at the same time, don't use the escalator, just take the lift.

8) if the escalator is faulty, don't use it - take the stairs or lift.

Parents must understand that it is their sole responsibility to ensure that their kids ride the escalator safely. It is useless to start blaming others when their kids are injured because of their carelessness or "could not be bothered" attitude.

Keep Slim By Walking

I have found a simple and very effective way of reducing my weight and staying slim. All I did was to walk about 4 km everyday. Sometimes I do my walking in the Park and at times it is on treadmill. I have put on considerable amount of weight for the past few months due to bad eating habits.

My immediate task is to reduce weight and remove the tummy fat on my body. I have started brisk walking for about one month now and found that it is very effective, no stress at all and I have gain stamina too.
