Is it just me or what is it about New Year’s Eve that always seems to make me feel kind of emotional, sort of remorseful that another year has gone by – however good or bad it may be and without fail, each year, this song originally by Barry Manilow always comes to mind? The [...]
Ah well, I do not know of any song about shepherds and I would not think “American Pie” is an appropriate title, but this post is going to be about the shepherd pie that I made on Sunday – my version of it, that is! Normally, for the pie filling, I will use minced beef, [...]
It was one of those feel-good days yesterday…for me, at least – very exhausting but still, I wish all days could be something like this. We got up early to go to St Mary’s Church for the Sunday service; we did not want to go to the flood-prone Sacred Heart Cathedral that we usually frequent [...]
So how was your Christmas? Had a bash, did you? As for me, it was quite uneventful and just slipped by as quietly as it came…other than the X’mas Eve lunch with my ex-students and the steamboat dinner, the church service on the day itself and the wedding and flood on Boxing Day. No turkey, [...]
I attended David and Laura’s wedding reception last night at the Rajang Ballroom, TanahMas Hotel here. It was a pretty grand affair with door gifts for everyone in quaint little pouches… …and here’s a pic of the cutting of the wedding cake and a section of the crowd… …and in the next one, you can [...]
I went to another wedding this morning – David and Laura’s. David was my student in school before and Laura was in my English tuition class for a few months but we got to know each other quite well from our involvement in the inter-school English debates. It certainly is flattering to get invited to [...]
Darn! I came down with a flu on Christmas Eve…and was sneezing away like nobody’s business. So instead of joining in the revelry at those more impressive (and expensive) diners where they had Christmas set dinners and buffets, I decided that I should go someplace where I could have a lot of soup. That was [...]
Many of my ex-students are home for Chirstmas, airfare over RM400 via the cheap airline and they say it will be over RM1K when they come home for Chinese New Year end of next month. One of them, Mike, contacted me… …and invited me out to lunch on X’mas Eve, together with Raymond… …and Chok [...]
Joy to the world, the Lord is come… STP & family would like to take this opportunity to extend their season’s greetings and wish all family and friends a Blessed and Holy Christmas. May God give us a rainbow for every storm, a blessing for each trial, a sweet song for every sigh and an [...]
Initially, it was a one-shoplot coffee shop behind the Sibu Polyclinic and then it moved to the Delta Commercial Centre at the corner of Jalan Pedada and Jalan Gambir. The food was nice and the prices were reasonable, so my family and I would eat there quite often and we would tapao food from there [...]
