Was browsing The Star online and dis news caught my attention. Partly becoz it has nth to do wif politics nor war. But the main reason is becoz it brought back old memories..i've been to d construction site during my previous training.. Last Sat, something reli interesting happened in d line of construction. And it broke history in Kuching for happening d very 1st time. Luckily no one got severely injured nor dead. Dats y safety helmets and boots are so important..Mr.Engineer is so in trouble now? or Contractor? who is to be blamed? hmm..

For those that are into outdoor activities or might be a nature lover, then this place might be the right place to spend your weekend or holiday. Its at the outskirt of kuching and about an hours drive from Kuching. I was quite interested to join my colleague, Melvin for this hiking trip coz i have always wanted to go hiking or mountain climbing since i was young, but since it's a Sunday i have to pass it as i have to attend mass in d morning. However, Melvin went for the hike and told me luckily i didnt go as it was reli muddy and slippery but he has some great pics 2 share. Girls, nid not worry abt leeches coz there aren't any..as told by Melvin. But thr r some essential things 2 bring during ur hiking trip such as cap, extra clothes, sunblock, lots of water, towel, shorts/khakis, camera..dats all i cud remember..let these pics do d talking..
I personally like d place in d last pic most..it seems reli cool..like an isolated island and there's 3 lost guys there..hehe..reminded me of the movie Cast-away/Lost..However, dis amazing place is going to be cleared soon and the villagers will be asked to move out as the Gov will build a water dam at the place. Dis is so saddening. So enjoy this place while u still can..
Ever since im on my practical training..i've been brought to construction sites and all and i've been walking on mud and soil dat smells like shit..all of dis is actually kinda fun and interesting as it kills time faster when u're not in d office doing taking-offs and facing d computer 24/7. However, d cons to dis is of coz d enemy of all girls, sunburn! Being a QS, dis is included in our scope of work and we have to get our butt up and about, not juz limited in d office. Dats y i've s.o.s-ed my mum 2 get me a sunblock after my terrible encounter of sunburn d other day. I couldnt sleep well coz it hurt so badly esp my shoulder part and my sunburn went from light red -> red -> black. Honestly i was freaked out..i mean who wouldnt right? :/
This is so so important to me right now..without it i'd rather die..and it's effective as well as i didnt get any sunburn after my last site visit. Not only dat it provides UVA/UVF shield protection. Priced at only rm29.90, its worth it!
**its like walking on d desert, right under d burning sun except dis is worst coz ur leg gets stuck in d mud** anyone wans some free sample for clay mask? During my last site visit to the site, i was met wif my colleague, d one wif a super-annoying-weird-sounding-giggly laugh dat can make anyone's hair stand up..well he's abit sissy compared to the other workers who r so manly and macho. Standing under d shed d other day i realised he is reli reli fair.
him: *laughs* really? maybe its becoz im using sunblock.
me: owh ic.isit sunplay?
him: not sure of the brand. my wife bought it long time ago but i never used it till now. but its wif spf50.
me: owh. mine's wif spf130.
him: wah! so high?? wads d highest spf in d market?
me: not sure. i tink its 130.
him: *still surprised* *ponder awhile* icic..yalar..girls shud use higher spf..
other guy: u so old already y still nid 2 use sunblock? ai choi hau sei eh hia? (wanna find younger ones)
all: laugh
Went to Hilton Kuching's waterfront cafe the other day for their buffet dinner..when someone mentions buffet, i will normally have d thought dat its like d buffet i had at saisaki, KL. The buffet dat i had at Saisaki was purrrfect..excellent..although it specializes in japanese cuisine wif menus like sashimi, tempura, teppayanki and all kinds of sushi, it has a wide variety of western and asian cuisine as well like lamb rib, oysters, mussels, scallops, cod fish, crab and prawns and also peking duck roll. Dat was my perception of a gd buffet.
Hence i was quite anticipating my buffet at Hilton. Surprisingly, d variety wasnt much. They have japanese cuisine dat night but the choices were minimum. They have salmon sushi, tuna sushi, unagi sushi and d squid sushi; salmon, tuna and unagi sashimi and prawn cocktail. And also miso soup which is very creamy..which is quite unique..as most miso soups r more bland and sourish..d quality is satisfactory though so it makes up for d lack of variety all in all..There are also pizza thr which i find reli nice, like tom's pizza at waterfront last time..and d deserts r nice as well..
The workers there were also reli warm and friendly and d supervisor even helped me 2 hold my soup bowl..hehe..so touched..it reli deserves its 4/5 star rating! XD
