Not again! On the 1st Day of Chinese New Year, some visitors were leaving my place and I went out with them to see them off. There were at least 6 inches left in the drain outside the house and I told them, “Gosh! Many parts of Sibu already tenggelam (drowned)!” True enough, this was [...]
If you’re wondering why I’ve chosen this song as the title of this post, it is actually in reference to a person’s condition when he has been eating too much meat and not enough roughage or fibre. LOL!!! This is very often the case around Chinese New Year time when the tables will be laden [...]
In 1973, I was in Singapore staying (renting a room illegally) at one of those HDB flats with an elderly couple. The husband worked as a labourer and the wife was a housewife. They had a daughter who was already married and was living with her in-laws…and a son who was hardly ever home. The [...]
Actually, you do not have to pay through your nose to get some lion dancers to come to your house (…and scare the living daylights out of the kids…like KNB! ROTFLMAO!!!) in the hope of attracting some good fortune… I read somewhere that if you have a lot of happy visitors to your house, the [...]
It’s the 2nd day of the Year of the Ox…and some parts of Sibu are flooded, so the ox is probably swimming around. Yesterday, I dropped by my parents’ place and also my in-laws, that’s all. The rest of the time, I was at home and I had a few visitors but I’ll blog on [...]
It is the tradition for members of the family to have the reunion dinner together on Chinese New Year’s Eve. We did not have the chance last year as my missus and I flew over to Penang for a few days to spend the festive season there with my daughter who came over from Sungai [...]
Last night, I went to this bloggers’ get-together at Lot 9 Cafe here… Victor Kiu was the meet co-ordinator (right) and with him in the photo was James from Miri… …and willchua from Sarikei (left) and rubberseeds were there… …and so was bongkersz (left), with wongpk and alexallied (blurred as he was moving at the [...]
I had lunch with Bongkersz yesterday. He managed to crawl through that section of the Bintulu-Sibu road around Tatau that had collapsed owing to a landslide. I understand that they have prepared a temporary bypass for light vehicles to use but at a snail’s pace. Needless to say, the queue was extremely long and those [...]
Well, it’s Friday today and that means the weekend’s here and then, the Chinese New Year holidays. That, of course, also means that those of you who only blog from the office will not be online until you get back to work – the earliest on Wednesday, the 3rd Day on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. [...]
I’ve had a post on this food stall along Bandong Road here that sells very nice Malay delicacies at very reasonable prices. For one thing, it is along the way when I come home from my parents’ house around noontime after spending the morning there keeping my mother company. So, on the way, I can [...]
