Snippets of March 2012

Sorry for the lack of updates but anyhoos, here’s something to make this blog alive (temporarily)

Went to Sibu (mom’s kampung) during the school holiday and spent most of my time at my aunt’s having my mom and her siblings chit-chatting. I didn’t get to buy anything at all! Fine, I bought one pack of instant noodles (kolo mee pok because I am curious) and two keropoks…. Damn unhealthy I know.


Came across this gerai BUGGER!

I was laughing non-stop when I saw it and the passersby (who find nothing wrong with it) looked puzzled why I gila there. Too bad the bugger store was closed else maybe I can try to show you all the buggers they served. HAHAHAHHAHHA.


Find anything wrong with the above pic?

I didn’t noticed too until my cousin told me….


SEE HOW HIGH THE DOOR WAS INSTALLED!

The reason behind is because flood occurs all the time in that area hence they built it this way. Tapi, could have built some steps also right?


The contrast. Kampung and the city. The “port” eroded last couple of years and some houses went straight into the river..


A bird nest house with no staircase…. How they expect to get into the house I wonder


My first meal in Sibu!
Seriously, awesome sea cucumber soup my aunt made! Knowing that I only get to drink that when I’m in Sibu, my aunt made it for me whenever she could and on my last night there, I drank 4 bowls of it! BLOATED!


A small birthday cake for my boss cuz. Probably the scariest boss on earth (to her staffs).


Don’t play play, Sibu also got Temple street can!


礼饼


must-eat in Sibu! Gong-Piang with minced meat! *drools*


Practically what I did everyday when I was in Sibu, EAT!


love the sweet potato!


spinach noodle kampua! Have you ever?


Mom’s pumpkin fried meehoon


There were a LOT of students in that van!


School boys waiting for their transports in a petrol station just across their school.


Something I saw quite a lot in Sibu. These day the best revenge seems like spoiling the person’s reputation through A4 paper I guess?


Instead of the usual pork soup to down with kampua, my cuz ordered LAKSA SOUP! With meat balls, fish balls and fish cakes! Cool!


Kampua with a super fail sunny side up


Then back to Brunei, another farewell for DoraMabel
(That tray on the bottom right is the famous Seria Fried Kuay Tiaw don’t play play! My friends really know what to eat)

 


Party rocking on a Monday night


We were all reminiscing the past and then le wild idea appears…

DRAW ALL THE SEATING ARRANGEMENT back in our Form 5X day!

 


Okay, terus skip to peking duck also lah. Hahhahahhahaa


Wasabi prawn from All Seasons.

 
Porridge and fried kailan


Salted egg prawn balls

 
SINFUL DUCK SKINS!


Ginger onion duck. Tenderness~



Random pic again. Bobby filling up the air for my tyres, the one job I hate because
1) I have no patience
2) I am very careless (I lose the valve stem cap all the time)


And yesterday my handsome and pretty friend from KL suddenly sent me a text telling me that they’re in Brunei and I terus zoomed and picked them up and toured them around. Finally they are convinced Brunei is not that ULU!


Him, suffering from occupational diseases trying to find the best angle, changing lenses and all sorts when taking photos. Oh ya, he’s the guy behind http://www.yenscreation.com/ 

 
Bruneians are damn fun! These 4 guys sat in a row, flipped and fell in to the pool. It was damn hilarious and then we requested them to do it again and they layan-ed!


The staffs preparing the tea light candles for Earth Hour

 
I miss the time when I was (a lot) taller than him! And Tling, forever gorgeous and friendly.


brought them to pasar malam


Tling finding the kuehs interesting. Despite of living in Brunei for almost 20 years, the number of times Yen Kai been to BSB is less than 10 times, which kind of explain why he always thought of Brunei as “kampung” and “ulu”. He used to live in Sg. Liang and honestly, back in the days we (my batch) rarely traveled up BSB and were all super sakai.

Bah, the end.

 

 

Bah, the end.

    Incredible India: Goa, a little peace of Heaven

    Just a short post on Goa before going to the next day because I want to show you all how beautiful this place is.

    Maurina and I make a pair of awesome travel partners! We split our jobs, transportation on her, accommodation on me. So, she planned the destination and I’ll look for hotels. Fair and square.

    So she choose Palolem beach, a beach less popular compare to other beaches in Goa because there’s not much of a “night life” there. But it didn’t matter to us since ermm… we’re not party animals. We’re more of stalkers, observing people and laughing at our own silly jokes speaking in Malay so no one understands when we mengumpat.


    The beach huts.

    It’s very basic. A bed, mosquito net (because there’s no a/c, it can get quite chilly at night anyway), no television, no refrigerator, bathroom but with WIFI!


    The bathroom.
    It has to be designed like that I guess because it’s a beach hut, our feet got really sandy everyday! Like there’s no way you can get clean feet at all.


    Our bed for 3 nights. Macam honeymoon banarrrrrrrrrrr


    Lo and behold….. we have HAMMOCK!


    Our orange hut #13


    Sunset… ~~~~~~~I can just sit there and look at the sky for hours!


    Cuba Bungalows

    I know when most people heard the word “India”, all they can think of is Taj Mahal, crowded trains, unhygienic streets, child beggars… and, coming to Goa add in new words for me, beautiful sunset, beaches, friendly people!


    That’s the restaurant by the way, restaurants of Cuba. We ate there all the time because they served really nice food, free wifi and friendly staffs!

     

     
    Unwinding at the beach after a long day travelling on plane and car.


    Cough cough.

     


    Ordered beer for myself just to blend in… *eksennnn* and purposely get a “King’s” just because. Hehehhehehe.

     


    Even the dogs there also sibeh relax~
    (We didn’t see a lot of dog poops though)

     


    Wuuu.. gonna get some tonight?


    Y GOT HAKKA NOODLES IN INDIA ONE!


    See that bunch of guys on the left of the above pic, that’s the staffs/chefs setting up the seafood BBQ!


    Our dinner. Curry prawn for me and … I forgot what Mau ordered.
    With a lot of rice! (But I finished them all…. *fat*)


    电视连续剧捞饭,我最喜欢!


    We ordered some BBQ seafood as well and there’s no point of return!
    WE HAD BBQ SEAFOOD EVERYDAY WHEN WE’RE IN GOA AND THE PORTION GOT BIGGER AND BIGGER AND BIGGER! I MISS THE FISH THERE!


    and a lot of Israeli music….

     
    And that’s me… with oily hair, sticky face waiting to get a nice hot shower for the next day.

    YOGA!!!!!!!
