Another outing..before i leave kuching 30/6

One more day left before i leave Kuching...not sure if i am coming back bext sem, so making use of the remaining days to go out and try more local food...We originally planned to go Damai..but weather not nice, plus its kinda late for the trip since everyone wake up late LOL. In the end we just go (late) lunch first...then pick up Greg~~

Before lunch we went and buy meds for our sick frens....near Tabuan Jaya there...hehe....like how greg say...ahpek and amah...HAHAHAH....then we bring to them loh...hope they get well soon...while we bought the 'liang teh' for Ducam we also bought ourselves those 'cooling teas'...
I think its called '夏茶'..or 'summer tea'...LOL...the taste not bad...not too bitter...unlike any of the herbal tea i drank...i tink this is my first 'summer tea'...




Then we stopped by a stall near Boulevard..which sells siobhee, pau and fresh soya and sugar-cane drinks...greg and sharon seems excited about it...and the customers come non-stop...really laku ehh the business!!
Siobhee...or siew mai...or shao mai~~





Our 'pau's and soya bean drinks~~


The very busy 'tauke's...they are guys..usually ppl sell pau all dat got woman one...interesting....


Overall the food is good. I tapau one for my bro. The siobhee filling is quite unlike those in Miri..there isnt any prawn..but nice too. The pau is ok...but i tink Miri's one slightly better...or maybe its cos i didn't order their 'signature' pau? xD Soya drink...heheh...still lose to the one i tried in Johor last time...but i tink quite good actually...fresh...if u guys go johor...i bring u to the stall sell soya bean...if i remember the road, that is... xDD
Then we went watch movie. 'I Love You Man' no more, 'Night At Museum 2' no more, 'Terminator: Salvation' not ngam the time, so do 'Ice Age 3', which premiered yesterday. So we went for Transformers 2 instead and got in into the 5pm slot...thankfully got seats...and these are our food for the movie~~

We came out from the movie around 7.15pm. Wanna hear my thoughts on the movie? I wont spoil yet...but here are my views...
*Mini Movie Review*
To sum the movie up, i'd give it a 'visually appealing and exciting, but shallow in plot and storyline'. Yes. The movie is cool, more action scenes, better fight sequences. The transformations still look UBER COOL. But i cant say the same for the storyline. I actually had a feeling before the movie premiered that i am going to be disappointed by this movie, cos of its 'storyline' i first saw in the trailers. And boy, i was right. The jokes, too much, too cheesy and badly executed by a pair of twins(yes, THE twins everyone is talking about on the net, Skids & Mudflaps. U can read all about the hoo-haa in movie news), not to mention some cheesy secondary characters. That's not too say the movie doesnt have its funny moments tho. Another thing is i felt, the overexploitation of Megan Fox. Sure, she's HOT, but i get a horrible feeling she's in this movie just to please fanboys who drool over her. Oh the fans will be pleased all right; Megan showing off those thighs..Megan '撒娇'...Megan this, Megan that...i cant help but feel for the girl. She should not be in this movie just for that! At least make her more important!! Grr!!
The film is disapproved by most critics and well received by the casual audience. Analysts noted that it is a summer blockbuster movie after all, the movie is just to entertain, and it did entertain lots of ppl. However, to me, a movie without good storyline is flawed even tho i was entertained very much. Look, this film can be BOTH stunning and clever in terms of storyline. Just like the first one. But, someone destroyed it with poor storyboarding. I still prefer the first one. This one? 2/5, purely for the super cool special effects.
What a letdown. =((
I'm not alone. He says it too. *warning: spoiler alert* http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/smg-transformers-10-questions.html (if u dun want to spoil urself rotten pls be wise and do not click the link)
It really does not make much sense.
*end of movie review* >.<

So after that sharon invited us to dine with her friend in Sushi King...but by that time my headache had gone worse, and i was feeling very sick. Felt like i want to throw up. I think its cos of the soya drink. I cant tolerate soya well...and i dont like to drink it as a result. But hell, the famous stall, of cos i must try, isnt it?? xD In the end Sharon put me back in campus and i straightaway pengsan on my bed after going to the library give the pau to my brother. I did not puke on the way, thank god....
To counter my headaches, i usually try sleep it off. U guys can try. U know, better than popping pills. I always try to avoid pills and meds if i can help it. ^^
So that's what happened yesterday. Time to start packing...for i shall see home tomorrow.
An opinion : I always thought right, if u wanna know if a food is nice or not, u let someone who dislikes it taste it. Like I dont eat chilli. But if u let me taste a chilli and i say its good, then its good. This happened with the KFC Life Thai Chilli sauce. Mum persuaded me to try, and so i tried..and WALAO. I fell in love. I think till now, that chilli sauce still the best. I DISLIKE McD chilli sauce. Kimball, u lose.
Another personal experience is the soya bean in Johor. After countless persuasion by my uncle to try, i tried it. And it was really good(but i still get stomach reactions from it >.<). I still wouldnt order it if i can, but i would recommend it to anyone.

People...does my theory stand corrected? Comment ya....what u think abt my 'theory'... thanks~~
