BEHOLD! All hail dis cool + cute handbag!! Small, sleek and highly convenient to be carried around...can fit ur hp, make-up, keys, tissue paper, etc etc..





Unzip it and TA DAH!



It doesnt only look nice from d outer but also nice inside out! Got another compartment inside sumore. Cool aye??



Found dis hidden treasure @ KIA...@ RM40+ if not mistaken..see if ur lucky enuf 2 spot it! XP

my short holiday of 2 weeks is finally coming 2 an end..:( not enuf time! too many things 2 do, too lil time..met up wif Ping for lunch and i was longing to hav curry chicken rice but when we reached d place it was sold out d. it was only 12.30 lei. d other stall no nid 2 mention..wud be sold out even earlier. Kch ppl reli like to eat curry chicken rice hor..sheesh!


So we went to Crowne Sq to try out dis Indonesian restaurant called Pondok Laguna. Walk in thru d side entrance of Mr.Ho's Fine Foods and u'll c d restaurant waiting for u directly right in front. Spoiled by choice with their wide selection of menu, we've finally decided to order these:

watermelon + honey dew + milk + froggie egg.
notice on d right is d Indonesian 'achar'. nth compared to our local achar.

my kedondong juice. super nice n refreshing.
(dis is not in d menu, d waitress recommended it)

traditional rice bucket. so unique.

sambal sotong. quite spicy but delish.

grilled fish. very spicy but its nice. HUGE.

crispy tofu + vegetables + spicy sauce. HUGE.

too nice 2 be eaten

everything's reli spicy here. Indonesian food r well known to be spicy. If u can't stand d heat, Pondok Laguna isnt d place for u to be. D place is quite underrated i tink coz d place is reli empty at d time we went. Food is nice and quite cheap as well. Will visit again d nxt time i crave for sth 2 spice up d day. ;)

Went to Enter K at crowne square last Friday for another round of k session before going bak 2 KL..comparing Enter K to Pop Wave is like comparing sushi to char kueh tiaw. See d difference? D interior is reli reli nice and their service is excellente. Not only dat, d audio system is fantastic..BMG audio system..d sound is so crisp and can hear da boom boom sound. And they have nice appetizers as well..their chicken wing is so yummy~ we sang till we ran out of voice den we go home. about 5 hours. Def going again in d near future..

After THREE, d new cafe located at d old Sun Cafe at padungan road..Went there to test test the food and drinks there..and d place is reli packed..unlike many cafes whr u see many youngsters and teenagers, here thr's many adults and elderly as well..If not mistaken its operated by the same owner of the banquet, dats y d similar colour tones and d employees thr wore the banquet shirts.

There's wi-fi access here too, whr i get to test on my new P1i and d speed is amazingly fast compared to Kaya and Toast's. And there's a big projector TV as well outside. Good for viewing live soccer matches. One thing which is quite extraordinary wif their menu thr is dat they have diff menus at diff times. When me n my fren reached thr, it was 10+ so we were allowed to order western food only.

We ordered d Fish and Chips and d fish tasted reli nice and fresh. Interior wise quite comfy also. Good for yumcha sessions and will come again in d near future!

My frens and i always plan to go Pop Wave before dis but always tak jadi go..and d last karaoke session we had was at somewhr near Sarawak Plaza i tink..terrible place and worst of all, it's open spaced..u have to take turns wif other groups of strangers to sing..dat was certainly my worst karaoke experience..1st and d last!! Finally went to Pop Wave few days ago and we sang 2 hrs only! 2 hrs! whr got enuf?!




The room isn't very big compared to KL's red box/green box/neway but it's big enough to accomodate around 4-5 ppl la..and their list of Eng songs is very limited..and worst of all, d music video of the songs are mostly not d original ones made by d artist, instead u can see a gal wearing her swimming attire playing wif her dog or sth lidat..wth! =.= for malay and indonesian songs, it's pretty good though..will i go again? YES of coz!! XD but gonna visit enter k nxt..and i also nid 2 memorize some mandarin songs as well! hmphf!

We call her Ah Poh 'coz she's my uncle's mother-in-law..quite close wif our family and she's a very funny and happy-go-lucky ah poh. She's one of those rare older generations dat can call me by my English name instead of my pet name..congrats! ^^ She's turning 70 dis yr and still strong and active..

Bday cake which came out later after we ate d rich yummy
ice-cream cake 'til everyone surrendered

Naughty hip boy making a rather weird posing style...wif his bunch of 'frens' behind him

Yellow boots, humongous curly hair, hairy mole, super long fingernail and lots of gold bling blings..all these are his well-known trademarks.. and also not forgetting his famous laughter..hee hee heeee heeee hee hee..! oh well it sounded sth liddat..everybody knows him and everyone likes him! He's simply none other than..





Gurmit Singh aka Phua Chu Kang, the infamous Contractor who owns PCK Pte Ltd, the best Contractor in Singapore, JB and some say Batam, stepped foot at tHe Spring yesterday to meet the audiences and to promote Singapore as they're currently having a half price deal for a few Singapore tourist hot spots..


As usual, he did a very good job entertaining the audiences with his wicked antics and hilarious laughing sound..everyone burst out laughing at practically every word that came out from his mouth..hee hee heeee heeee hee hee..! its so contagious!! He'll be making another appearance on Sunday at 4pm and he came out for like less than half an hour only..










hee hee heeee heeee hee hee..!

During my site visit today, my colleague used another route and we entered this Malay kampung area whr i could see them doing sampans d old fashion way..u can jz imagine how simple is their life or how simple their life could be right in front of ur eyes at dat particular moment..one of the finished sampan is being sold around rm1500+ which is quite reasonable imo..dun tink its jz an ordinary sampan whr u hav to row it urself, but its installed with d mechanical engine..dun pray pray ok! so high-tech! but if u like d old-fashioned rowing, u can always turn off d engine and row urself.


after dat, we continued to go to d marine base site..and on d way, we stopped by this place called kampung pasir putih or something like dat..nearby muara tebas..which is abt half hours drive form Kuching city..i dare to bet only a few ppl in kuching have ever heard of dis place..oh man! d place is amazing!!!! the view there is simply breathtaking! and u could still see part of the soft white sand..but then its so disappointing to see lots of mangroves growing all over the place..and lots of dead coconut trees too..



and u actuali have to walk quite a distance to reach the beach shore..my hands r so itchy i couldnt stop myself from collecting a few nice seashells as my own souvenir..:P

Attended grandma's bday at Chef's Special at 3rd mile last Sat..it's her 73rd bday i think..d food thr was okay and they hav karaoke sets in each room..

during d cake cutting mom asked grandpa to giv d bday lady a bday kiss..and he did! grandpa kissed grandma twice after she blew d bday cake! so sweeet! u go grandpa! Have been missing all those reunions since i left for KL and its so hectic having to update all my aunties and uncles each time i meet them when i'm back to kch..both my parents have a pretty big family esp my mom..and some which i can hardly recognize if i happen to bump into them at d streets of kch..

and my aunt's baby daughter is JUST d most stubborn baby i've ever met! she has a bad tantrum and does not let anyone carry her except her mommy..her own daddy she also doesn't wan..my countless attempt has failed miserably as well..and her parents had to bring her baby chair dat somehow looks like 'tam pui' and even a laptop just for her to watch barney..simply mom and dad's lil' princess..

SHA & VI CAMWHORING

extremely exhausted right now...and i dun noe y..mom said its abnormal for ppl to get sleepy most of d time..maybe got some sickness..sheesh! mayb i nid 2 go for full body chk-up. even while im sms-ing my fren i almost doze off..but still have to work..IF ONLY...i'd take a full day leave instead of HALF! grr! dad also scold me silly. coz i dun get paid training here unlike my other classmates at other companies. =.= some say 'why dont juz quit?' cant la. u think so easy meh? how m i gonna pass dis sem later? and sumore later kena blacklisted by the company and d company's circle of frens.

well well the half day leave is 'coz it's the 'cheng beng' festival today and i went to the sarawak buddhist temple mainly to pay respect to my dearly beloved fren aka my da ke ai..who is so selfish to leave us all without saying goodbye..hmphf..!

so i went to the temple early and called up my fren, nick coz i didnt c anyone familiar thr yet..mana tau d time has been postponed..sikui nick didnt update me pun..so i walk here and there inside and around d temple looking for my fren's name plate, carrying along a big bouquet of chrysanthemum flowers..got at least 4-5 rounds ah..how embarrasing.. =.= and d ppl sitting outside look at me like im an alien lidat..aiii! finally i've decided to ask d temple caretaker, i tink she is, d place where my fren's name plate is located..and dats how i'm no longer lost and clueless..*phew*

finally d others came and we prayed awhile, yea even though i'm a christian but my family and i do visit temples and pay respect thr..and thr was also a monk hired to pray over my fren..we all followed thru d ceremony which lasted for abt 15 mins..

on my way to Maybank today i was still daydreaming while im behind d steering wheel dat i made a right turning without noticing a perodua rusa coming from d opposite direction..d driver avoided me and almost terpelanting..i felt so bad and was totally alert after dat..learnt my lesson..

In d afternoon, after sending my mum off to work it was still early..so i went to permata car park for d PIKOM pc fair exhibition alone..sob sob..whoa reli alot of ppl man..quite pack and d space is reli limited le..d pc fair is reli small compared to KL's pc fair..i went to chk out sony and canon booths offering digicam and i found out both brands offer quite similar digicam specs apart from d appearance wise..so its quite hard for me to decide now..and my good fren's sis is working at d Sony booth so i asked her can get discounts or not? she replied me can give more free gifts only..aiyer..sadness!

Yea thr r also lots of lenglui promoters..dats y so many guys lo..but didnt c any leng chai thr 2day..pc fair, ill be back dis Sun wif my walking banks! jz wait for me!

'Sarawak laksa'

One can find Sarawak laksa stalls anywhr in Kuching..but there are only few places whr u can find really nice ones in Kuching. Nice as in fresh prawns, nice gravy, not too oily..Below are my personal favourites..

• Chong choon cafe @ jln padungan near longhouse hotel
• Foody goody cafe @ tabuan laru near Kuching Specialist Hospital
• Ling loong cafe @ king centre

' Sarawak 'pek kueh' - white rice cake'

The place dat serve d best pek kueh in Kuching should be Sin Poh Poh cafe @ near grand continental hotel. This is a foochow delicacy and its simply addictive!

No more pics to show..so gonna introduce other foods nxt time..keke..

I desperately need a new digicam after my former Canon digital ixus became faulty becoz of my stoooopidness! All my fault..y m i so careless? haihz..now waiting for the PIKOM PC fair dis April 4th to hook up any good bargains there..but dunno which model shud i ask mom 2 buy..hmm another Canon or go for the sleek and gorgeous Sony? :/

Anywayz, i wanted to enrol for a dance lesson since im quite free on weekends and i went to Earth Dance but they have closed all lessons for adults coz the instructor said dat she jz got married and she said she has to make family planning..jz d right timing..*SiGhz* my next target is Right steps @ 2.5 mile near OTS..i thought i was going to enrol thr and so hav my lunch @ Grandma's hand made noodle, jz beside it..



It claimed to be the Klang Teluk Kulai version of bak kut teh and thr were lots of variety to choose from, like my dad's fav big bone 'tua kut', pork leg, and so forth similar to Klang's style..the soup tasted quite nice, quite pekat and not too dillute but not enuf herbs taste and the soy sauce is super salty..but i like it! xD overall, it's my fav bak kut teh place in Kuching as of now..

After my site visit last week, my colleague brought me to an interesting place rather isolated and hidden inside a Malay kampung for lunch..it is sumwhr near d DBKU state library..the place has got many many lovely flowers esp orchids hanging around d eatery place..the place also provides homestay but i wonder who would stay at such an isolated place, wif not much to do around..the food here is quite nice and the owner a Malay woman from Penang by d name Kak Rom is vr frenly and she kept askin us abt our food and even recommended us few dishes. D nasi kerabu goreng is so yummylicious! it has d herbs taste which isnt too strong..but d nasi lemuni is jz so-so..not recommmended coz d anchovies are so 'chao yeu kao' and d drinks are also nice except dat there r many ants swimming inside. my colleague jz drank everyth down his throat and i was like o.O walao! some of d visitors even minta-minta her orchids and Kak Rom gave them for free. orchid lovers quickly go n grab one of her orchids~ :P

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..
