Happy Winter Solstice

Happy Winter Solstice everyone. Seriously I don't really know what does festive about and yet I celebrate it every year. At this time, we Chinese always make a kind of flour thing, named "Tang Yuan" in Chinese. It always is white in colour or you can add colour yourself, coated with crunched peanut and sugar. That's what my mum always prepared for us to eat every year.

Pictures explained more than what I said I guess.

The "tang yuan"

Then cooked them in boiling water. Sorry my water ain't boiling because the fire not really strong.

Then coated with this crunched peanut with sugar.

Final product is something like this :)

Later this late afternoon, I went to Wisma San Yan with my family. I can confirm that San Yan is the most fancy shopping complex in Sibu. In Sibu only. It combines offices and shopping complex together.

The fanciest building in Sibu. Wisma San Yan.

Fancy huh?

Having window-shopping inside. Walked the whole shopping complex. Had a McD ice-cream shake. Nice one. Then, before I went home I saw this sign.....Made me burst into laughter.

FYI to those doesn't know who Datuk T. Mahmud is, he's our Sarawak Chief Minister for almost 20+ years. And still serving. Wonder how many times he had stepped his feet into San Yan??? Special reserve for him eh...

I guess that's all. Tomorrow gonna be back to Miri.

Bintangor/Sarikei Day Trip.

Currently still at Sibu now. Well, today went to Bintangor and Sarikei to follow my parents to update their "property" at Sarikei Land Survey Department. And Bintangor is our rest stop. Off we go at around 0915 hrs and we took the short cut (Which is not a good one) because the road was partially flooded.

Arrived at Bingtangor an hour later. Went to my aunt's kinda old shop which is cool and packed although very dirty lol.

Typical Bintangor shophouses. Nothing had changed except a few more banks' outlet popped out.

After resting for a while and doing something at the bank, we're off to Sarikei. Another town. Boring town.

First stop in Sarikei? Of course it's Land Survey Department lo. Kinda strange when we arrived there because no one seems to care about us. Stood there for 5 mins before someone came and it's not at peak hour and we're the only one there that time.

Property stuff huh???

After a few ups and downs and we were done. Walked around the market nearby and bought some cakes/biscuits. I don't know how to describe it.

Market place. No ppl.

The thing i'm talking about. It's fresh from oven too. Flavour? Pandan-kaya. Nice

And this white-bean flavoured.

My recommended this coffee shop who is going to Bintangor next time to try its PRAWN NOODLES!!!!!

LOOK AT THAT!!!!!

Combine two HUGE prawns, some veges, very chewy noodles and delicious soup. It's simple SLUUUURPILIOUS!!!!!

Let's start eating!!!!!!

Look at that baby......One baby can stuff your MOUTH FULL!

But it doesn't seems cheap. One bowl of it cost RM12.......But very reasonable for it because it's really stomach-stuffing bowl. BIG BOWL. Guess I'm going to have high cholesterol because yesterday CRABS, today PRAWNS........LOL

Good news is I'll be back day after tomorrow. Not Thursday...Weeee

That's all for now.

Mr Krab is coming to town!

Sorry for not blogging for so long since my last FV post which is 16 days ago. Haha nothing to write about. Holidays are extremely boring for me. Same schedule as always. Now currently at Sibu for the second time this month. 3 times of bumpy road rides. There's gonna be the fourth time.

After arriving at Sibu just now, been Facebooking and checking forum. That's all. My parents and my sister went to hospital to check my grandma's condition. And I wrote this status updates on Facebook.

Then at 8pm, my parents FINALLY came back and we went out ASAP to find some restaurant to fill-up our belly together with my cousin which works at Sibu General Hospital. Just want to invite her to eat. Haha

We went to this restaurant.......Which is famous for its delicious, salivaous crabs and porky legs LOL.....My mood that time not good. Too hungry.

We just ate our side-orders first before the main dish which are just simple plate of kangkung, some sort of Sabah's vege, and a seems-like-very-expensive fish and a bowl of Tomyam soup. Fuh~~~~Belly's "fuel" is full. Then, comes the main dish. 2 KILOS OF CRABS!

The far-end one is 1 kilo of Black pepper crabs and the nearer one is another 1 kilo of BUTTER crabs. Wakakaka..Does that looks like 2 kils of crabs???

The our secret weapon to "operate" the crabs? Besides, our teeth?

A hammer

And yes, if you're my classmates, that's exactly the same hammer as the ones we used at KH room. Wanna try? So the situation there is like everyone is doing some CRABENTRY!!! With all the knockings and munchings!!! CRABENTRY!!!!

Oh no!!!!! Is that Mr Krab's hand??!!! I gonna eat you!!!!

After ngap-ngap for a while, all the left are like these. I don't mind if you want it? I can "tapau" for you if you want. LOL

My dad said something funny about it. He said " Oh, this table is like a war-torn places" And indeed, it looked really like a war-torn place.

Afghanistan? Iraq? Iran? Kosovo? Lebanon? You name it.

*Fast saying*
So after one plate of kangkung, a plate of Sabah's vege, one bowl of Tomyam soup, a plate of seems-like-very-expensive fish, four glasses of Iced Lemon, a can of 100PLUS, Barley drink and *gasping for air* 2 KILOS OF CRABS!

The total price is?

Triple 1

Not a bad price nor a good price for it. I'm OK after eating those. Hope my Sibu trip this time gonna be something good.

I guess that's it for now. Satisfied.

First post from SIBU!

I'm so bored that I go to play this game.

EXTREMELY BORED NOW.............Though I was already back to home and have my PC, I just still feeling bored. So I went to play this game since my bro is like playing this game still very pro.

FARM VILLE IN FACEBOOK!!!!

Duh~~I was liked when I saw my bro keep on saying that this game is fun, I just ignored or laughed him (seriously) because I think it's too childish (my bro is 19) for me. And then during my trip to Sibu, I'm just too bored until I couldn't believe my own eyes. I LOGGED IN TO FARMVILLE AND ACTUALLY PLAYED IT!!!!!

Quite fun. (Don't know how long I will last playing it)

Starters is just like this

Poor me. Only got 2 plants to be harvested and I still had to wait for it

Then,

Stupid me. Waited for a day to harvest my Soybeans and Eggplants. Now growing some Strawberries. Poor lonely farmer looking at me, pierced my eyes and looked straight into my brain, laughed at me saying "YOU FINALLY PLAYED FARMVILLE. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!" LOL.

Now I got a lot of plowed soil, some animals and some trees, hay bales............Still waiting for the Strawberries to be harvested. Slow..................

And finally before I end this post.............You know what I'm going to say if you're my Facebook friends.............................................................................................................................................................

BE MY NEIGHBOURS!!!!!!!!!

I seriously need neighbours.....I'll add you no matter what's your RACE, RELIGION AND WHEREABOUT.............Thanks

That's it

YLC Camp

Hands hurt, legs ache, whole body smells and so on. That's my condition when I finally got back home after a 4 days 3 nights YLC Camp at Lambir National Park.

Day 1 is basically all about Ice-Breaking. My group, Group 1 consist of 7 people. After pitching up the tents and had our lunch, we built our own gadget. Not a bad experience. But for no reason I really felt sick and want to vomit AND I did without people noticing. My sickness just getting worst and worst. Then at around 8PM (Estimation) I can't hold it anymore. My Camp Commandant quickly take me to one of the chalet (not for participants) and rest. Checked by Mr Haizulyadi and some of the AJK's and teachers, they let me had a drink of warm chocolate drink to see if it clears off my sickness. OBVIOUSLY, it didn't. I vomited all out. Rest in chalet for the night.

Day 2 was better for me. Body's stronger already. No more sickness after the nice long rest in the chalet. Thank God. Had some First-Aid activities and some station games. Then at night, we in groups discussed about what to perform during the Malam Persembahan/Cultural show. I never like it. Then it's zzz time. We supposed to be sleeping in the camps but it's raining which this pissed Mr Haizulyadi off. I think he's right about it. We should sleep in camps no matter how wet it is.

Day 3. My hatred day and also my lovely day. All day long we're jungle-trekking in Lambir National Parks. Played with waterfall, had some climbs, commando style moving on mud. All add it up = my shoes Byebye. And it did. Then the Cultural show we all managed to have fun for all. Then at sleepng time. We finally need to sleep in the camps in rain. Had some blood donations to the mosquitoes. But managed to sleep throughout the night.

Day 4 which is today. GREAT! Had morning exercise. Breakfast = Two plates of fried noodles. Then we had Disaster Management. Quite hard but managed to gain some experience and some teachings from the Officers in-charge. Lunch time then it's closing ceremony time. Got back home at around 1715hrs.

That's it for today.

Class Party

I'm darn so tired now because was all day long at the beach celebrating class party. Wah~myself smelled smoke now because I've been 9 hours sitting in front of the BBQ set? WTF? LOL......BBQ'ing is fun for me I think though not for my health. I've been "smoking" hundreds of cigarettes today eating many caused-cancer food LOL!

Picture to share here. I'm so lame in blogging.

Raining in the morning.......Just bad luck I guess but after this just some small rain so no BIG deal.

Everyone at the tent enjoying/playing.

Let's start BBQ'ing!!!!!! It's easier to be said than done.

BBQ'ing for a few hours then they started to eat while me and my friends still BBQ'ing. Non-stop BBQ'ing. Had a few chit-chat with my friends at the BBQ set. Some 'talk' you know? Everyone is going to the roughing sea playing water. Don't understand why they still enjoying playing with the sea water as the sea water is like Nescafe 3 in 1 coffee color. Maybe it's just me being pessimistic?

Had a little clean-up at the BBQ-set. Then it's OFF. It's been a fun day for me.

That's it. Sorry for my lousy and boring sentence. For more Interesting about it, visit Amabel's blog or Sieh Lung's blog

St. Columba BSMM Community Service

Well, it's beach cleaning which I think already been a tradition to my school, SMK St. Columba to organize it annually. And I always participating. Arrive there at 2.30. After Mr Kong briefed us, we started to clean up the beach which we people always joke about it as "BITCH CLEANING" LOL

Arrived on the spot scene. Love to have sea breeze blowing my face. Feels good.

Let's starts to pick up some rubbish, shall we? LOL

Everyone is cleaning, including our teacher in-charge and also the committee members.

After cleaning up, we rest for a while and started to play games. There's three actually but I only manage to get one of the games photo. Introducing : The human touching avoidance course which we basically need to escaped from the evil touch of the committee members to get safe and not going out the shoes-lines.

After that game, we all rest and wait to back back home. Before going home, they briefed us and had a small closing ceremony. And then, the girls started to play bubbles and it's like someone is shooting MV.

While waiting to go home, I'm just too unlucky to be able to watch the sunset. I can rarely watch sunset you know.

Well, I just have to call it a day.
That's it
