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.

RIP MJ and FF

"Death of icon". There, i saw it when i click on my MSN tab after i signerd out from my mailbox. My first reaction was 'WHAT!!!!' ANd then i click to read the article...

After seeing that, i couldnt think properly for 15mins. The shock...i've never been shocked and surprised like this before...it only sink in 15 mins later...my, oh my.

I had gone to sleep the night before at 3am reading articles abt Farah Fawcett's death. And now, to wake up, and see this...

I guess part of me going into 'blank' mode is due to my feelings. I was having a horrible mix of sadness, regret, sorriness, sympathy, surprise. I grew up listening to his songs, i grew up dancing along to his songs, i even imitated him a little to entertain my friends when i was younger. Then as i got older, i, shamefully, laughed along with others at MJ's evolving appearance, and felt abit annoyed at him for all the molestation charges. I was bad. It was not until i grew up more then i began to realz my view on things and accept him as what he is. And now..its too late...

After all, he is a brilliant entertainer. And the dances, the moves. And 'Thriller'.

I am sorry. May you rest in peace.

And Ms Fawcett, you have a very nice name, and although i never watched the original 'Charlie's Angel', i came to know u as an icon and respected you. may you rest in peace as well.



Trivia : I just remembered MJ did came to Brunei years ago when i am still very young. I remembered when i recalled that MJ had a tour in KL years ago. And i went to his concert, tho my memories of that concert are only left like this: We were around 200metres away from him...and i remember some artist opening up the concert. I had innocently thought that was MJ back then, but my dad said no, and soon.....MJ arrived on stage. Literally. Cos...the first thing was a spaceship...descending on stage. Then MJ came out of it. I was so mesmerised by the way he appeared that the only thing i remembered vividly from that night was him getting onstage...and a little incident where we argued over some drinks at the vending machine. =/

The concert was held in Jerudong Park, Brunei that time. Now MJ is gone, and Jerudong park is an empty and lifeless playground which had lost its glory in the past.

Finally...

As i walked out of the room and into the sunshine outside i thought, "Finally. Everything ended." For a moment then i dunno wat to do. What do i do with my new-found freedom?? I'm like...blank for a moment right there. Weeeirrrddd......

So i went back to room to pack my things go to library to start my online session. And then i saw roomie packing her things already. She told me she'll be leaving to hometown this sunday...changed flight cos her mum wanted her to come back early...lol...means...starting from this sunday....i'll be alone~~~

then i got bad news...no more tickets for transformers this weekend...SIGH.....now i dunno wat to do this weekend. someone tell me what i can do to fill my time!! dun tell me i just online whole day...so boringg!!! >.<

and i'm still waiting for an email reply..hope i get this done with asap...lol.

anyway...wat a month. spent the whole of late may and june right up to just now stressing over assignments and exams and presentations...i seriously thought i couldnt do it...but i did. Although i'm not tat proud of how i did it, but i'm glad i stayed till the end.


And now....its exactly one week till i go back home. And...my god...time of revelation...my parents gonna know abt the phone....siighhhh....hope i can still come here and post stuff after that!!! lol...

Sigh. Now in library onlining...dunno wat to do...ohh...facebook!! lol.

and sorry if i start to sound like *someone* with all my boredom complaining. i guess i just shut up for now...hheheheh...

oh ya...now library really empty empty lu...not much ppl except some foundation kids...the degrees and diplomas all gone...speaking of gone...today i saw more students leave with their travelling bags...which reminded me of the 4 Danish students...last time i saw them...they were dressed so nice...with backpacks and whatnot..going in the direction of the gate...it was last week...and that could be the last time i ever see them again. Sigh. So much for a lil' angmoh eye candy....

I think i'll play sports everyday for this week. i havent played in a long while. Haha. Oh and maybe take pics around school too. Just in case....i'm not coming back. =((



Trivia : Megan Fox is shorter than me!!! xDDD

Bad news.

Today, well yesterday actually, considering its now 4am, i received a bad news.


Strangely....i dun feel as sad or disappointed as i thought i will be. I seem...weirdly calm.


Its a news that will change my world, and probably others too, but...i dunno. I think i more or less expected it...but...still...something like this....i dont want it to happen. But it did.


Sigh. What to do now. Where do i go frm here after learning abt the news. Sigh...


What bad news u ask? Well...i'm not gonna reveal it yet...but...maybe i will reveal it to my AWAS peeps...i'm still waiting for a get-together. When we meet up and hang out, perhaps then...i shall tell them the news....but for now...dun ask me yet....no....


Interesting tidbit :
Do u know the Death Note character Light Yagami? Now let's focus on the name Yagami.

Yagami. Flip the words back wards ==> Imagay.

Imagay = I'm a gay.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I saw it on a person's deviantart page's comment....lol....so i thought i'd share with everyone....ehehehehhe xDDD

Of phones and headphones.

Remember my previous post where i said i bouhgt myself a new headphone??? Well i'm gonna post a pic of it...together with my 'new old phone'....

Before i go on tho...let's have a lil history lesson on the phones i ever own.

Nokia 6600

Dad found a phone....and then he traded a samsung model for this one....and let me use it when i first had my very own phone line back in 2006(yes ppl, i only had a phone 3 years ago!). It was a nice phone, but a tad bulkish, but still a very good phone...

Nokia 5300 Expressmusic

The second phone that i use. Wanted it cos its Expressmusic. Upgraded from the 6600. Not that 6600 had broken or anything, just that i wanted this badly. A moment of immaturity. And it looks damn good~~~used this for the longest time, from 2006 till 2009.

Nokia 5610 Expressmusic

By this time i was in love with anything Expressmusic. There were other new Expressmusic phones, but nothing beats this beauty. And i owned this in middle of february, right till last week when i lost it. =(((((( 3.2 megapix with 1gb storage. Plau expressmusic technology. Wat's not to love!! And the weird thing is, the market price for this model went up instead of down...shows wat a good phone this is...



Now.....

Nokia 1208. Colour phone with not even infrared and blutooth. Really basic. But....its got flashlight!! And different themes for different profile modes!! cool ehh?? hahhaha....

Now my own pic of my phone...sorry for the low quality shot...lighting's not good in my room lol..





Here's one...with my new headphones. xDD

Sigh...today go spring got alot of things...wanna take pic oso cannot...sigh...still missing my 5610...
Hmm...i think i wanna end my posts with quotes or funny trivias i found on the net...like this is cool...at least my reader knows sumting as well....well i will start with this current post....hope everyone likes this idea. Till then..ciao~~
Trivia : Do u know that the newly updated Batwoman comic character is a lesbian?? Betcha din know that....heheheh.....
