Sorry…this isn’t going to be a post about Oz, neither am I going there – not in the near future, at least. It’s just that Stella and her hubby and Lucas came over to Sibu from Melbourne for a few days and so, I asked them out to dinner. However, Stella said she would rather [...]
When I was a kid, we only had cakes on special occasions such as Christmas or Chinese New Year, not even on our birthdays. How we would look longingly at those cylindrical ones wrapped around in red oily paper that were placed in saucers on the tables at the coffee shops! I am sure the [...]
What a day it was – last Friday! Farrah Fawcett, best known for her role as one of the Charlie’s Angels in the popular TV series in the early days of television in Sarawak/Malaysia, passed away of rectum cancer… …and then there was the shocking news that Wacko Jacko Michael Jackson had died of cardiac [...]
The other day, I dropped by Zewt’s blog and he had this post…and I thought, “Wow! The 500th post!” I am pretty sure that he started blogging a long time before I did, but when I checked my blog stats, I discovered that I was just a few posts away from my 500th post – [...]

These days, it certainly seems like knowing how to boil water constitutes knowing how to cook. If you enter any supermarket or hypermart, you will see a mind-boggling array of all the different brands of instant noodles in all shapes and sizes with all the different varieties. But when it comes to mee goreng (fried [...]
It’s a sin to waste, or so they say. Well, this Foochow delicacy is made from soya beans and in the past, anybody who sold soya bean milk would be selling these… They are called tee piang and as you can see, they add a lot of kuchai (chives) in these that I bought at [...]
I guess most of you would be too young to know this, but the first singer from Sarawak to release a recording in English was Rose Iwanaga and her group called The Avengers, and their first hit from their first EP – an extended play record of four songs – was this cover of Nat [...]
When my daughter was still here last week, she wanted to have some ikan bakar (grilled fish). I remember there is a stall outside Fat Mom’s, along Lanang Road…but when we got there, we discovered that the stall was not open. So we went to Taman Harmoni instead… This is the open air food court [...]
It’s Father’s Day today. But somehow it does not seem to get as much attention as Mother’s Day. I was looking for a song for the occasion and found a few where the father had died including the very beautiful Luther Vandros’ “Dance with my father”. the Everly Brothers’ “Silver-haired daddy of mine” or even “Oh [...]
