Happy Labour's Day

It's gonna be a long holiday (2 days are considered long for me lah...) but I guess a certain individual is enjoying an even longer holidays.....

Why are we celebrating Labour Day? Switzerland is not....Why is it called Labour Day?? Is labour day similar to labour pain?? hehehe...I know, I know, I'm talking crap here..

I'm full of craps of late....so let's talk crap..

Everyone is either on or going on a holiday....lokter is now enjoying herself in an almost-everyday raining city and she's enjoying herself eating tons and tons of oysters...made me jealous

People has been talking about KK and are trying to make me sulk and cry for being the only one who has never been to KK.....I'm so travel deprived and I am sad.....

Back to Labour Day holiday...I am going to be locked up in a room full of funny people for the AGM...and I seriously hope I will not be elected as the Secretary....I don't think I can take on another important profile, not with my present work committment....The only thing I am looking forward to would be the lunch..:-)

can't think of anymore craps...guess that's all.

Happy holiday people

Food

A long outdated post and I think the other side has posted them up long before...

Last Friday, we whom should not be revealed took half a day off for an important mission, ie food binge......

We started out tour by visiting Mr Ho's......Am happy with my choice of food and drink..I had this

Mr Ho's Laksa RM15.90 - he uses pasta instead of beehoon or the yellow noodles......Ingredients were fabulous and it includes his signature dish, the crispy pork and char siew......Yummy though a bit spicy...

I noticed a drink called Bundaberg Sarsaparilla..Sound so liquor-like to me but my adventurous side get the better of me and I ordered it....and I like it a lot......taste a bit like rootbeer and it's not that sweet....nice and it's only RM5....A bottle of Bundaberg can fill up 2.5 glass....worth it is it not??? At least much much worth it as compared to somebody's duhhh Ribena Sprite!


We rested for awhile after lunch and then hop on to the newly opened Secret Recipe.....



Since we are still full and since most of the food is still not available, we settled for these...
Somebody's Oreo blah blah blah drink

And my caffe mocha..... (stoopid blogspot....cannot download.....guess u have to use your imagination nia lor) No diff from the oreo blah blah blah except mine came with froth....

We ordered 2 slices of cake...(Managed to post only 1 cos blogspot photo uploader failed on me after that)

Can't remember what cakes were that cos they kept on coming back to us after each order and said they ran out of the cakes and it continued until the 4th time....Bad publicity is it not??

Overall, I am very dissapointed with my favourite Secret Recipe...To start of, they haven't got my cordon bleu.....Service is lousy though the staff tried their very best to stay friendly...Several people actually went in, sat down, checked the menu and left....

Leggy went the same evening and got away with free meals.....No, No, before you all start to rush down to SR thinking there is a free food promo, hold your horses.....Apparantely the food that she ordered was not cooked properly and was still frozen in the inside....so there you have it....

Food business is never easy.......And the most important lesson here - if you are still shorthanded, DO NOT open for business as yet...First impression counts!

Being a hot and humid saturday evening, A and I decided to check out the snow ice place near our house where the 2 lil girls have visited....

Interior is nice though a bit noisy with mandarin speaking girls and boys obviously were having a birthday party for their friend....I ordered the green tea snow ice and A, as usual, his coffee snow ice.....Very very cooling and cheap, I must say!

Look so like cabbage is it not????

Lousy week

This has not been a good week, to me that is....


Never ending auditors' final queries before the presentation meeting, problems at the site that is not even within my jurisdiction and yet it fell on my lap, constant losing at Bookworm and several bad dreams that I had...Don't come near me at the moment cos I might transfer some of my misfortunes to you...


Among all the dreams that I had, the most scary one was about me losing my car....It was so real and I woke up with cold sweat! For those who doesn't really know about me, I will freak out over just any tiny weeny things about my car....and of course, the freak incident few years back doesn't help in solving this problem.....nevetheless, I dreamt I drove my car to my parents' house and park right next to A's car...Dad heard a loud noise outside and being Dad, he went out to check and came in telling me that my car was missing.....I ran out and search frantically for my car but to no avail and I recalled me sitting on the curb right outside the main gate and cried!! Hah! Let's think positive...like I've told lokter, maybe it's time for me to buy 4D....:-)


When your mood is down, everything seems to go on strike on you too....To start of, we went to a buffet dinner on Monday and went home cooking Indomie Mee Goreng....We asked for a customised buffet dinner at RM20 per pax as a farewell dinner to the Philippines Priest and I tell you, the buffet doesn't even deserved a cent! Imagine, no re-fill or whatsover....Aiyoh....even cheap vege like Cangkuk Manis was not refilled....and I ended up eating the miserable spicy fried yellow noodles with bean sprouts..Yucky! That explained why the noodles was the only dish available then.....An uncle saw what happened and asked the waiter whether a re-fill is on the way..They answered yes and we waited until our plates were dried up and fruits were gone....Btw, I am never a big eater and here I am, complaining


The next day, the gang went to Bella Italia to celebrate A and my belated birthday....Food as usual, very dissapointing...Even my alfredo doesn't look the same like before and the funghi is just to pathetic....



Hardly pieces of turkey hams were spotted...





Soggy and tasteless




If there is one thing I am terrified of, it's the bees and wasps.....Few evenings ago, as I was doing my work, I suddenly noticed some flying objects right outside my window....I looked up and to my horror, there were at least thousands of bees surrounding my window....Thank goodness there is no opening outlet where the bees might enter my room or else I would have fainted there and then.....Anyway, the pix below was taken with so much courage...It still freaks me whenever I look at this pix..Call me a chicken or coward but that's me....Had bad childhood experience....

The pix doesn't really show that many right....but trust me, there were lots!

Btw, Secret Recipe is opened for business and I am definitely going.....

and I still owe somebody a tag....sori, how can I talk about the fav food in Kuching with all the bad experiences I had on food......

Have a great weekend people....I sure hope mine is

Know me, Know me Not!

Following the footsteps of Lokter, I am curious to see how many of you out there really know me lor...So, here I am.....

Try lah....don't be shy

Are We Poor?

"Hey papercrazy! How's yr wekend?" A friend asked yesterday...."weekend?" I replied.....For once in many many years, I have nothing to brag about my weekend...

I was sent to Obedience School for the whole of Saturday and Sunday...learning the ways to say bad words and can get away with it...Heheh....Attended a Seminar on poverty organised by SSVP and the speaker was air flown (sound so like sausages and hams and wat nots that was airflown from australia) from the Philippines... His talks were good and enriching, the only problem we had was his pronounciation....I seriously hope the native members understand what he was saying throughtout the 2-day seminar...All our meals for the 2 days were taken care off, from breakfast to tea breaks to lunch to tea break again to dinner.....

At the end of the day, this is what we have learnt:

1) Our hardcore poor is far more fortunate than the poor in the Philippines...

2) We don't get to see people living at the Trienekens dumpsite or along the railway track....

A boy walking along the rubbish at the Payatas dumpsite

3) We don't get to see squatters building at the cliff, or alongside a river....

4) We don't get to meet people whose job is to savage whatever is in the dumpsite and sell them to earn a living...

5) We also don't get to see the children turning the dumpsite into a playground

6) We don't get to hear a landslide caused by the stacks and stacks of rubbish

Aren't we fortunate?? So, the next time we complained about what we dun have, think about the poor in the Philippines....

On a lighter side of things, all these above are FUCK oopsss...sorry, FACT (You would know what I mean if you are well versed with the Philippines' pronounciation...:-)

Shucks....Toopid Blogspot...Doesn't allow me to post some more pictures....Sori guys, just have to make do with this few...

what's the date today??

It's Friday the 13th today.....yeah, it's a friday, and it's the 13th day of the month....So, what is si special about this day???? Why musn't u cross a black cat today? Or walk underneath a staircase???

I can still remember very well how my youngest sister used to re-act whenever she saw the picture of Freddie Kruger in Nightmare in Elm Street....She was just about 5 or 6 years old then and she would freak out just by looking at his picture or anything that resembles him....I was even banned from wearing my red and black striped T-shirt then cos she would freak out whenever I wear it! hahahah



Anyway, happy Friday everyone!

Food, food and food

Happy Easter everyone

The harvest is great but the labourers are few....Am sure you all have heard of this bible quotes.....This post shall be The food is great but the money is few...Have been on a nonstop food binge for the past few weeks and I have to say my purse is getting thinner and thinner as a result of this...Birthdays after birthdays and just the thought of birthday cakes now can literally send me off to Planet Mars...

Okie dokie....let's start with 29/03/2007. Birthday dinner at Le Yue Chinese Restaurant. A new chinese restaurant with fabulous ambience, reasonably price food and superb customer service....as a matter of fact, we were so impressed with the restaurant that we went back there again 3 days later!!!

Even the business card is so nice....

This is a must-try dish...some seafood on sizzling plate....eggs are used as its base and the sauce is so yummy....



Another must try dish - prawn balls in wasabi sauce.....We had this during our 2nd visit and I did not manage to snap any pixs then...

31/03/2007. Off to Elephant Cafe & Bistro to celebrate A's pre Birthday dinner.....No pictures taken but I had the crispy deepfried chicken and it was yummy.....



01/04/2007. Dinner again and this time it's mum's pre birthday dinner....a lousy place so I shall not blog about it...No one will actually blog about a restaurant that uses cheap pink plastic plates as serving plates and a pink blanker-look-a-like as table cloth....If i dun know Pink Cotton well, I would have thought she runs the restaurant cos everything is pink!!!

03/04/2007. Mum's actual birthday...Brought her to Causeway Bay in HongKong for some timsum breakfast


HongKong is a very busy and fast paced city.....We can't stand the traffic that we quickly board a plane back home immediately after breakfast...

Hehehehe....It's actually another new eatery in Kuching, just next to Le Yue Restaurant...Tim sum just so-so but we were terrified with one of their new staff...apparantely he just started work on that day and I tell you, his look can actually kill a whole neighbourhood of people.



03/04/2007 evening. Went to Magenta to celebrate A's birthday...Another very nice eatery with nice ambience....The restraurant is housed in a colonial time malay typed house...


Nice business card too rite???



Part of the interior



Couldn't take the picture of what we had so we'll have to make do with the tealight candle with 3 cheese sticks in the background.

Photos stopped here but not the dinner...............

Of course, from 5 April until 7th April, it was a no-no luxury dinner because of Good Friday and the Easter Vigil service....

Dinner continues on East Sunday at Thai Restaurant....Young Master Joshua's 6th birthday...

That's all about food....On a separate issue, I went for a hairwash during lunch just now cos I don't have time to wash my hair last nite and it's getting very irritating...(I wash my hair everyday!) and look what I have bought...




I promised I am going to be very hardworking and diligent in using these haircare.....


Last but not least, I am extremely happy and relived to receive a note from a long lost friend.....I know that friend is reading my blog now....All I can say is Hey Flen, thanks for thinking of of us, we are glad you are ok and just to let you know that you are in our thoughts all the time....God bless....p/s Our numbers are still the same, pls drop us a line....we miss you...

My List of Kidnappees

This lokter.....tagged me and as much as I tried to avoid doing it, I can't cos my conscience is not clear...and without getting over and done with with this tag, ms conscience just doesn't allow me to blog about any other issue unless I complete this tag....I wonder....could it be my conscience that's asking me to complete or itu lokter put a jampi to ensure that I do it....I suspect the latter cos every night I dreamt about an island and her face woh...

So, Lokter...I am appealing to you.....PLEASE REMOVE YOUR SPELL ON ME...I PROMISE TO PUT UP THIS TAG LIAW...PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The scenario:
I am stranded on an island....a very lonely and virgin island where no one has ever deflower it. How I stranded there? I don't know but somehow or rather i must have been there due to somebody's wish....one consolation.....I am allowed to drag 6 unlucky bloggers to accompany me....Here are the list....whoever's name that on the list, please pack your belongings and report to me within half an hour or else you will be sued (so like National Service hoh?):

1) Lokter - She is a must. Why? Stranded on an island is no joke woh....and you don't expect to be rescued within a day or two...so, we need a doc who can treat us when we fall sick, when somebody goes into labour (this one sure happen wan cos I'm bring both males and females mah)....So, lokter, please bring enough supplies of panadols, gastric pills, epidurals and perhaps some poison too lah...Oh, don't forget to bring antiseptics also....

2) Junoesque - An ex-blogger....No one says I must bring a practising blogger mah....Anyway, she is a must in my life....We can yak yak yak non stop without worrying about being caught by the boss during office hours...Can or not?

3) Ah Boy & Liucas - Sorry lah Lokter and winn....I have to pull your dogs in too....I love dogs and also I need to make my island complete by having human beings and animals....Ah Boy wouldn't be homesick lah cos his mummy is going with me....but Liucas.....hmmmmm.....never mind liucas, I take care of you much better than your mummy....I promise I wouldn't force you to put on a red shawl and dance for us, ok?
One reason why i bring ah boy is because I want to counsel him....Teach him to be a real man...Explain to him how fun is it to pee around the house and sleep on a comforter....

4) Pink Cotton - If I can't have my pillows and nice bed at home, so can't her....that's why I am bringing her....

Ai see lor....no male hoh??? Never mind....got male liaw

5) Mr Goober - The world will never be silent liaw with Goober around.....He will come with enough supplies of nuts and we can yak yak the whole night and day while munching his nuts...ooops, I mean the nuts that he bring

6) Zeroimpact - Make sure you bring your shampoo and conditioner so that you can help us to wash our hairs and make it smooth and silky like yours....also, I like his selection of musics....ahh.....some music to serenade us at night....

Aiyoh....2 males over 4 females ah?? Can survive or not???
