Wisdom Tooth Outbreak

After two days of jaw and tooth pain torture, I finally went to see a dentist. I was never a fan of dental treatment but this new born wisdom tooth has caused me sleepless nights. The swell in my jaw made it hard for me to take any solid food. 

My boyfriend recommended this dentist nearby our place and promised the dentist is gentle and nice. So there I went.

Klinik Pergigian Zaara @ Platinum 

The place is just nearby to Columbia Hospital along Jalan Genting Kelang. The outer and inside decor was modern and clean, looked like a hotel instead. I was then a little worried about the consultation fees they gonna charge me. I was greeted by warmth and friendly nurse. The dentist treated my condition with concern and answered my every questions in detail. Unlike other dentists outside where they will recommend their patient to extract whatever tooth in pain, she prescribed me with antibiotics and pain killer. She suggested me to give myself a five days to further monitor the condition. She also asked me if I needed MC! Haha...(it was a Sat so of course I rejected it).

Friendly and chatty nurses =)

At the end of consultation, I only paid RM25 in total. The nurse told me that April is a free consultation month in Malaysia hence I only paid for the medicines. 

So everyone, if you wanna visit a dentist, go in April! 

and God bless my wisdom tooth...

Menara Alpha Condominium

Suitable For:

• UTAR students
• Young working adults

Menara Alpha Condominium

A Foot Away:

• Wangsa Maju LRT station
• Rapid KL & Metro buses station

Comment:

Menara Alpha, like Metroview and Tar Villa has the same distance to LRT station and also the wide selection of hawker food. These three condos are popular to rent by UTAR students and also young working adults.

However, looking from outside of the condo, you could see the walls are kind of grey and dirty. The pointy roofs and bridges that links the blocks look like the castle where the witches stay if you let your imagination runs wild. 

There are also rumor saying that the condo has few cases of suicide. I hope rumor stays rumor.

Overall, you could rent a room in Menara Alpha at a cheaper price range. If you are a tough guy or person, this might be your choice.   


Review:

Those who are vegetarian should rent at Menara Alpha as it has a vegetarian stall right outside the condo.

Vegetarian stall: Situated at the corner shop right outside Menara Alpha Condo

This vegetarian stall opens early in the morning for those who wants a quick take away before heading to work. It sells delicious vegetarian bee hun. 

Tar Villa

A Foot Away:

• Wangsa Maju LRT station
• Rapid KL & Metro buses station

Entrance and  guard house of Tar Villa (the red color Kancil is there since forever and it looks like its gonna disintegrate after touching...

Comment:

Tar Villa is a simple yet comfortable place to live. This place has a good maintenance in terms of cleanliness. It has two blocks only in total which make it a low density villa. Hence, you will find no trouble waiting for the lifts.

The size of the house is small but yet the rental is in par with Menara Alpha. The only lacking part of this place is that it does not have a swimming pool and gym. 

Of course, as the distance to the nearby shops is just 5-10 mins away and you could get a number of hawkers and mamak stalls to fill your lunch and dinner. If you are too lazy to walk there, you can also take the life down to G floor and there is an Indian food stall selling rice and maggie mee. However, the cleanliness of the stall needs to be reviewed as sometimes you might get a fly or baby cockroach in your food!

If you are looking for a decent and low density place to stay, you should consider this.

Metroview Condominium

A Foot Away:

• Wangsa Maju KL Rapid
• Wangsa Maju  LRT station
• Jaya Jusco

Comment:

By looking from outside, it has a much more presentable and clean look compared to other apartments nearby. The environment is peaceful and quiet. Majority of the people staying here are renting as young working adults and UTAR students, 70% Chinese people.

For food, you won't be starving if you live here as there are a wide range of food selection by walking. There are a number of kopitiams at the nearby shop lots. They sell all sorts of hawker food ranging from chicken rice to noodles and others. There is also a Burger Kaw Kaw and BRJ (mamak) nearby in case you itch for a supper. 

Compare to Menara Alpha, the rental is just slightly higher, probably RM50-RM100 difference. With a minimal difference, you could feel safer.

Just a note to take, if you are taking LRT or buses to work, be careful with your belongings as it might not seem very safe along the way. Make a distance if you see someone suspicious walking towards you. Do carry a pepper spray or whistle that will work and help. Do not walk alone at late night!

For those who has a better budget to live in a more comfortable environment, you can consider this place.

WANGSA MAJU

Wangsa Maju~ Ahh... A heaven for students and young working adults seeking solace in KL. When I first moved to KL, this was my first place I hid my head under. When I say Wangsa Maju, I mean Wangsa Maju Section 2, the one with the LRT Station.

If you've just graduated and still can't get over campus life, Wangsa Maju is a good place to start your assimilation. With KTAR & UTAR being just a few leaps away, this area is filled with students as well as young working adults (most KTAR, UTAR graduates). It's hard but to feel forever 21 living in a place like this.
