Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Every day I love you less and less…

Some of you may recall how I used to sing praises of the Sarawak laksa at e-Cafe at the Delta Commercial Centre in Pedada here in Sibu. Well, my daughter loves the laksa there too, so when she was home last week, we dropped by the place for some… This was their special at RM5.00 [...]

Tie a yellow ribbon…

My daughter loves Japanese food, so everytime she comes home, this is one place that we will definitely have to go to… …except that it is not pronounced “tie” as in “necktie” but actually, it rhymes with “dear” being the Chinese surname of the proprietor of the place. Others have tried but if I’m not [...]

All by myself (2)…

Well, my daughter has gone back to Sungai Petani on Friday but don’t worry! This is not going to be an emo-post about me being alone. Actually, I am going to touch on some of the things that I had cooked…all by myself while my girl was still here, at home. I spotted this made-in-Thailand [...]

One-way ticket…

Well, it certainly would be a one-way ticket to the blues should you happen to get one…especially when you are not in the wrong. Yes, we do pay parking fees here in Sibu – 42 sen for 30 minutes/half an hour. They were saying that it is more expensive than in the other towns in [...]

Better than the rest…

The Sheraton has always been one of the better restaurants in town, along with a few others…and I was invited to dinner there last Tuesday night – the annual dinner hosted by the owners of the tuition centre that I am presently attached to. My daughter was back for the Raya break, so when the [...]

Tea for two (2)…

After the lunch at Uncle Dom the other day, I asked my daughter whether she would like to buy some local delights for tea and of course, she was keen on the idea, having been deprived of all those goodies every time she went back to you-know-where. Well, we did not get any of the [...]

Dominique…

Talk about coincidence, but the other day, I wanted to take my daughter to Uncle Dom for lunch and I was whistling away happily. The song was “Dominique”, a one-time hit by The Singing Nun…and when we got into the car, the moment I switched on the radio, presto! The song was being played on [...]

Adios Amigo…

We went for the evening service on Sunday as my daughter loves sleeping in and since she’s having a much-needed break, I would let her do that every day while she’s home. After the service, we went looking for dinner and I heard there’s this new place in town… …the Amigo Steak & Grill at [...]

Seiring sejalan…

My missus and daughter and I dropped by to visit a cousin of mine during his Hari Raya open house… …and I met somebody at his place who told me that he reads my blog regularly! Small world! It seemed that he was in transition class when I was in Form 6…but that was some [...]

Rub-a-dub-dub…

If you’re wondering about the post title, it is just that there are very few songs with the word “Ruby”, maybe, just two – “Ruby Tuesday” and “Ruby, don’t take your love to town”. Thus, I have to settle with the next best thing – a song title with three of the four words. LOL!!! [...]
