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~~

Fun day out..26/6

So it was the start of our holidays. Assignments are over and stuff. And my good fren, bless her, took me for some food exploration around kuching....and there was me, Sharon and Crystal~~~

First stop, Song Kheng Hai. I remember i went there the first time was during the 2D off-campus class...where we freshen ourselves up after filming video for class. And i fell in love with the ices in one stall over there, so much that i went for second round...but sadly no pics of it...cos i lost my phone and forgot to back it up ^%$^#$$#%

But this time around i brought my dad's camera...and took some pics~~

My bowl of Kueh Chap




The kueh chap really famous there, and the meat is so soft....top notch!! But no eggs. But it doesnt matter, it is so cheap. If i bring my dad eat the kueh chap here he wont order kueh chap ALL THE TIME in Miri liao mwahahahah xDD

My bowl of ABC - shaken and stirred. This is from another stall different from the 1st one.

Crystal's ABC - insistently unstirred. which is how mine would have looked like before i stirred it.

So weird not stirring it. The milk eat straightaway like that...nice meh? xDD Oh ya. Crystal maintains that not stirring is very COOL. =.="

Sharon's drink. Honey Sea Coconut

All our food.

Then we finished our lunch and Crystal had to go meet her friends cos the friend leaving next day to somewhere. But she suggested Sharon to bring me go State Library and that is our next destination....


The big lake behind the library

Oooohh....i see DUCKS!!!!

If u are facing the lake and u turn around, this is what u see.



I like this one. Gives it a lil European feel....or maybe i was thinking too much. xDD

Cool. More shots.

I dunno. I think i have something for paths. I took a lot of pics of paths. And crossroads. But i do like the one right above. ^^

There's bunny Sharon. It feels so peaceful there. Oh ya i also have a thing for scenery pics. LOL. I took many many scenery pics...i think the area is great. Peaceful. Looks damn nice.


Yep. That was how the weather looked like that day. So scared gonna rain, that's why we took outdoor pics first. Oh and that is the state library from behind, the lake view.

There are some flower engravings on the paths, where u can find some shrubs. I dunno the flowers tho. I was nvr good at flowers.

The signboard says it all!!! xDD

A closer view from the back..and now u can see the name of the library~~

I LOVE these outdoor seats. A lil' bit of 1800's European feel. Or maybe it is me and my wild imagination again. HAHAH.

The inside of the library, which is what u'll see once u enter from the main doors.

This is upstairs. The books are all inside. The shelves are shorter than i thought, allowing easy access for taking books. Oh wells. I guess i'm influenced by those libraries in foreign countries where the bookshelves are massively high. LOL. I didnt take any pics inside the books area as i have a feeling i shudnt be doing it. xD




There are people dancing outside. I though it was some kind of aerobic dance, but Sharon says its more towards line dancing. Pretty cool.



Outdoor shots from the front of the library. I didnt take much tho.

I see botak shrubs!!!! xDD




Clover-tiang



Look at that. Cool, huh? xDDD


Some more bunny shots. I need to practice my angle. And i was lazy to crop the pics. Lol. Sharon if u want tell me i send to u the pics ahh. Thanks for being the model for some of my suddenly-inspired shots. =D

I personally like this the best. LOL.

Maybe still need to work on the angle abit. I remember taking this shot right, and there is an uncle passing us by. He kept looking at us(me). C'mon, i'm not shooting her ass!! =X

After that we concluded the State Library trip. It was awesome. I wanted to stay there overnight. xDD And what a peaceful place. Miri and Brunei libraries pls learn from this library ok!! xDDD

After that we pondered where to go. Sharon went one round to the golf course area, and right into the country club. It reminds me of BSRC, only this is many many times larger. And i saw blue tennis courts. BLUE!!! xDD Only rich ppl go there play. Sigh.

In the end we decided go Hui Xin for dinner. Since we were near Crystal's house that time we call her out again. Then she join us in her cute little shoes which made me think of KIDS when i saw it. LMAO!!! =D

Dinner time~~~

My White Lady. Seems like the thing not to be missed out on when go Hui Xin is the White Lady drink. Everyone is ordering it.



Again, Crystal didnt stir hers. =.="

That was my first time having a White Lady. In Miri i dont see anyone selling these kind of drink. ABC, cendol all that got la. But more special stuff like White Lady or some of the other ices in Da-Light, Miri can hardly find. Hmm. Maybe i should learn how to make these drinks. Then go back Miri open business there. And earn till i cant stop smiling. xDDDD

Our food for the night~~

Kolo Mee and Tomato Mee. Also sweet and salty Cha Kueh. I LOVE salty cha kueh. I love salty food. And then...I realised me and Crystal eat the same things that day. =.="


After dinner we went MPH, cos Sharon wanna get the book i recommended for her. Heheh. And we stayed there till Spring closes, then we went back to our crib. But after that i went to King's with bro again cos i forgot tapau for him. Sweatt~~

It was really fun that day. Thanks guys. I mean gals. =D Hope there are more days like that to come and enjoy...peace out ppl~~

Notes: I hope i didnt put too much pics. After all, people did say my blog lack pics. Ngeheheh.

Trivia : The Wimbledon Championship, one of the four Grand Slams of tennis, is the oldest and most prestigious tournament in the world. Its like the Holy Grail of tennis, and many tennis players dream of winning it.

Lighter shoulders.

Today i feel like a heavy rock had been lifted off my shoulder. Hahah. As cliched as it may sound, i do feel somewhat 'lighter' today...

U see...i finally passed up my last major assignment. Now i am left with one more essay assignment and 2 more exams. Then....FREEDOM!!!! All the weeks of intense stress and little rest...is finally over. Now i can rest for abit than study again for exam, and after that i'm free to do wat i want...till i go back home dat is.

Cant believe i have 2 weeks left before i go back home. I'm so happy!!! But my happiness is somewhat dented by the fact i still need to tell my parents abt the lost phone...dunno how they react!! Wish me luck ppl~~

Today coincidentally, the Chief Minister came to my campus. I was even forced to go out of the library to go to the MPH to attend his seminar. The guy in library so rude. The way he announce, wat 'order from registrar', wat 'i repeat, to all students in library, u MUST go to the library NOW...'....the way he talk, so rude!!

Then the new bulding got red carpet again...wahseh...i din folow the red carpet tho...so i dunno where that will end up..no wonder campus suddenly so many flower pots...no wonder last night got lorry bring chairs to MPH...no wonder my friend cant park her car where she wanted due to areas being blocked away for guests and VIP!! =.="


I didnt see the man tho. I dun go for his seminar as well, cos i need to touch up on my last major assigments, 'music lyrics'.........


Lol. I ended up not liking my pieces. I am only satisfied with 3 out of the 6 frames we all need to do. LOL~~ and i made the mistake of putting frame 1 together wiht the 3rd frame for my lecturer..sigh..have to change it....

So deadline time was 5pm..and i only went and print around 4.30pm...lol...cos i'm slow...and cos got traffic jam. By the time we came back campus(my friend the Bunny brought me over to Saberkas and back again...thanks!) it was already 5pm. Shitt!!

But thank goodness the lecturer as kind enough to let me arrange my work and burn the cd in the office...lol..so i made it...except for one stupid thing that is the wrong frame thing. Guess i have to mail lecturer....

So wat did i do after handing up the assignment...well....i watched some of the stuff i got from my BK A classmate...cool...then...I FINALLY DID MY LAUNDRY. It has been there for weeks. Ugh. I serious;y no time to do laundry.......hell..i cant seem to have enuff time for everything...and also cos i know my laundry will take me around 2 hrs...how can i waste time do laundry lehhh...lol...


Thank goodness for finishing laundry, i almost have nothing else to wear already!! ahahah!! Ah...i jus went fell asleep for awhile..so tired...and i also returned to my Facebook today..found i had 97 notifications and that my Dreyfus had turned all smelly. LOL~~

Hmm...wat else i wanna add ahh? Ya...today eat supper i tink too muhc ajinomoto...now i'm craving for cold water. ANd i keep drinking my plain water. So i wanted to buy cold drink at the vending machine,, but the machine is broken(why all the machines in campus all broken no one fix? lol~)...so in the end i did not get any drink at all. And i am still thirsty...

Oh ya roomie back liao. Well looks like she's staying in room for the night...but...just now she went out again...i saw my other fren checking himself out in the toilet downstairs...i had a feeling they are going out in their own little group again...oh wells. Curently i am still alone in room...lol....

Lol ya. So dat was today from me to u all. Interesting day. And also the last day in campus where all of us classmates meet each other in class together. Aww. Hope we get to hang out together soon tho. Heheheh...nice to be everyone's classmate...i learnt alot from all of u...thanks everyone~~

Speaking abt classmates....me so weird...i only got close to my other classmates when semester is ending...weird, but with me that is an usual thing...cos...i dun warm up to ppl fast easily...and the weird thing is, i'm losing my 'gang' at the same time as well...wow...so many things happen at crucial time...made me so stress the past 3 weeks...

But thankfully, i got to chat and laugh with some of my classmates...cos the whole semester, i wasnt in anyone's group. Well i'm not categorising myself, but really, i dont mix much. It all changed nearly 3 weeks ago when a few of us started chattin with each other online after playing a 'note' in facebook...lol...can say facebook provided the spark to this friendship ignition. Lol..i'm glad..i'm really glad....so that when i leave here and go back to hometown, i can go knowing i rily did make frens in my class, even tho i lost my 'hostel' frens the 'gang'...meaning, i did get to know my classmates and stuff...which is cool...cos they are one of me: they are designer students!!

So yea...before i get anymore sentimental...let's end this post..with a line i wrote which i liked, cos it popped into my head suddenly and it sounds nice...


"Intense stress and little rest"


Man i feel like rapping. Haha. Thanks Bunny again for being there today~~~
