Heh…Hehehe… *dry awkward laugh*

I know..err.. super long hiatus on my India posts but here’s something to kill your “cravings”.. if any..

So day 3 was our last day in Delhi and of course it will be dedicated to bit of sight-seeing but more on SHOPPING!!!!

 

Maurina’s daily morning routine in Hotel Sunrise, use their wifi.

Hello India~

On the way to the kedai(s)

Plenty of Suzuki(s) on the street
(And this is one rare one without scratches and dents)

Karol Bagh in the morning is super lively. Huge contrast compare to dodgy night time.

Went into a bakery for some hot yummy breakfast

Just order..Pay at the cashier and the staffs will warm up the food.

So delicious and CHEAP!

Freshly grilled cheese and tomato sandwich

Chicken and mushroom roll.

After breakfast, we went back to our hotel to get taxi to move around Delhi.

Nah, a better view of our hotel.

So sayang la.. the car…

I’m always hungry too!

Anyways. We got ourselves a private taxi and paid only 800 rupees for 8 hours.
But we exceeded the time and went a little further and they charged extra 200 rupees.
Total, 1000 rupees for almost 10 hours. CHEAP OR WHAT!

So sexy and I bet the dog knows it.

 

 

FIRST STOP: SAROJINI NAGAR MARKET!

Like Oh.em.gee!

Super syok shopping for sarees. They served you like super VVVVVVVVVVVIP!
Just sit down, and they will flip open all sort of sarees and all you need to do is, nod your head, shake your head and KIV a bundle to think later.

We spent like… an hour (or more) sampai our eyes and mouths tired from enlarging pupils and jaw dropping wtf.

The funny and happy boss who forced me to get all the sarees I choose by giving me real good discounts.

The ladies who assisted us in choosing the sarees.

FYI. I ended up with 20 pieces sarees. Gila I know.
But it’s simply irresistible!

When we wanted to leave, our car got blocked and guess what…
WE WENT BACK IN THE MARKET TO SHOP AGAIN!
*women……*

Super crowded!

Looked up and saw 2 men on the roof top..

Next stop: India Gate

Just for those “I’m here” touristy shot.

 

Don’t play play, Obama also ever come here let her draw okay..

very tempted to try out those street snacks but don’t dare to take any risk lor.
don’t want to spoil my trip visiting toilets only.

Thinnest cotton candy ever…

I miss those chai tea!

Y BRUNEI NO MOBILE STREET VENDOR SELLING THE TARIK?

For show only….

See?

Kana cornered by few ladies who straight away grabbed our hands and drew henna on it and demanded a payment when we didn’t ask for it.

dot dot dot really…

I cant tell Mau’s expression. Still frightened? Tipu-ed? or happy?

 

Maurina refused to call this uniform.
For her, ani costume.

(Men in India all super dressed up one)

Last stop: Ansal Plaza

It’s actually quite big inside.

I know it’s a little weird that we actually ended up in a Korean restaurant to have dinner.. when we’re in India.
But you know, it’s fun to be a little spontaneous.

 

But the meal was not disappointing at all.
With free wifi somemore! Hehhehehe.

It’s a smoking restaurant and there’s actually a karaoke machine in the main dining area.

Seafood pancake

Ramyun

Gimbap and other appetizers

For those interested. Nah, the address.

Maurina feeling all tensed and worried because her place got broken into.
And her cat was missing…

Dunno what’s with this curang picture….

 

 

anyways, back to Karol Bagh

 

awesome shoe stall!

Pretty~

I got myself a simple camel leather shoe~

Wuiseh! Got maggi for sell!

I saw this man wearing suit in the street and hence took a picture of him. And he super sporting, stood there and posed nice nice for me to take photo. Very da-fang~

Err.. I don’t think I dare to walk in there lo…

My shoppings~

And favorite purchase of the day!

MAYBELLINE LIQUID EYELINER FOR ONLY $5!
(My favorite eyeliner for now. It lasts, and doesn’t smudge!)

Bah, next post will be quite cool because we’re going to GOA!

Spent my CNY eve to the next morning at 6am with the above bunch of Garden Circlings (minus Yeye and Eng Eng who were not in the above picture).

Gong xi fa cai everyone!

Let’s hope I got more time to blog ya.
My India posts macam on a super long hiatus….

quack quack quack

I know the title sounds a little cryptic but there’s nothing secretive about it… If you have been following me in my instagram. I’d officially move to KB last Sunday and bid Seria goodbye. But I know I’ll be a Seria-girl forever in my heart.

Everytime when I need to tell people where I lived, I’ll say, “You know Seria public library? Just opposite it, like literally opposite!”

And usually what I got in return is this face… , following by…. “THERE’S A LIBRARY IN SERIA????”

Apalah……

Actually, if you read my blog long enough to see the photos I posted up about my house and the views I had, its really quite simple to find out where I lived… Unless you never know the existence of the library lah….

And now, this is my new room…

I still have 3 boxes (in my room, the living room one not yet!) to unpack and I seriously hate those small ki-lik-ka-lak that cannot be categorized… Oh, and clothing to be folded and stacked nicely… One cabinet to be painted… Ngaleh ku…

Oh, and I hate hate hate, not my new neighbours… but their habits of leaving their shoes lying around at the walkway WITH THEIR SMELLY AND WET SOCKS ON THE FLOOR!

How I know its wet?
COS I FREAKING STEPPED ON ONE WHEN I WANTED TO LOCK MY DOOR!

Urgh!!!! Not to mention the other neighbour who always took my parking spot. I’m still trying to be nice not to give them a “love note” on their windscreen though..

One thing I love about the new place is definitely the location (albeit not as nice as my Seria one) and the view from my windows… Karang ah I show.

That’s all for now.

Hello elibadi.

Today’s post is about tarap, my boyfriend’s ultimate favorite food…
(Filler post because I can do this in just 10 minutes.. trying to fulfill my 2012 resolutions of blogging more)

 

Now, this is TARAP!

It has another name called Marang and I wouldn’t even know if I didn’t googled tarap. And no one actually cares what other name it has because it’s already well-known by the one name in Borneo island, TARAP!

When I was a kid, I used to think that this fruit is named tarap because of it’s erm.. brittleness. I don’t know lah, but it’s a slang for us that any men with hair shorter than 1.5cm will be called talap-tou. You know, tarap-head. 

(And yes, itu cina tidak panai cakap itu “R” sound. Lumah (rumah), Lolex (rolex), Lambutan (rambutan), Lan(something)…. okay, that one really starts with L. Hahahhaahha)

Okay, talk too much. Anyhoos…

The flesh inside.

No skill, or tools needed to open a tarap. The ripe fruit is opened by cutting the rind around, twisting and gently pulling. Actually, no spread them apart can already.

Happy boy.

He was sad that I gave one tarap away to my colleagues and it’s not ripe yet when he came down. So he bought himself two from Miri and terus ate one after lunch! HE FINISHED ONE WHOLE TARAP HIMSELF! I only ate like, maybe 10 biji.

Even after he finished all the arils inside, there were still some flesh stuck at the core and he went on like this!


tarap-popsicle…

I went speechless!

Got nice till like that or not oh Bobby Lim?

Passed by one of the classroom and saw this on the wall…

Okay, it’s confirmed.
My school ani nada hantu. Hahhahahahahahaha.
Safe ni.

Kids so cute!

Just a short recap what happened for the past week, which is new year eve to current day.

Went to Miri on 31.12.2011 with mom and auntie at 6am because the myth was “YOU GO MIRI SUPER LONG QUEUE! CANNOT MAKE IT! QUEUE 3 HOURS!”…. And of course, since we’re already there at the borders at 6.15am, WHERE GOT QUEUE! And also, for Bobby and SL who went at 2pm, FussyKelly and KL at 4pm, STILL NO QUEUE!

q-ni-de-tou-ah!

Craved for ketam for dinner and went to Yu-Ha-Hai for new year eve big feast and waited for an hour… still no food. The restaurant auntie said there’s only 2 chefs in the kitchen and like 20 tables waiting so couldn’t help to serve faster. Even the drinks arrived 45 minutes late!

So in the end, we gave up waiting and when we’re leaving, they said the midin and si-ham were ready. Had those tapau-ed and went to eat lamb chops at gerai instead..

TILL NOW I NOCHET EAT MY KETAM CAN!

#sien-die-me

 

Oh ya, finally popped my *cough* clubbing cherry!

And… “lam” after countdown and went back to hotel at 12.45am..
Very loser-ish I know. Hahhahahahhaa

 

 

Moving house in a week’s time.

Been really busy hunting for furniture, curtains and whatnots. Not to mention packing and transporting boxes. Now I’m left with air conditioners, Astro installation, telephone line and Espeed to worry off. Oh, and stove too. And paint the ugly wall also.

And last Thursday, had a last steamboat at my barek with the besties… We are all so going to miss my old place! BWAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Will organize a moving-out sale soon, but probably after CNY because I don’t think I have the time to label the stuffs. So for those who are interested in checking out what’s for sale, please go to my facebook album. I’ll try to update the album more frequently I promise!
