Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Something different…

Lately I’ve noticed a change in my regular kuih-muih stall at Bandong. They seem to be selling more and more cakes of various varieties e.g. this one that they call “cheese batik cake”… It is really very nice with the cheese cream and the grated cheese on top of the rich batik cake. I can’t [...]

The 7 Lontong Song…

Have you heard the 7 Lontong Song before? I’m sure you have but if you insist that you haven’t, then just click and watch this video clip… Hahahahaha!!! I told you that you’ve heard it before but you would not believe me! Anyway, it’s not the season yet – still a long way to go! [...]

Garden Party…

In my previous post, I touched on the Journalist Day gathering hosted by the people from a local daily here. It was held at the Garden Hotel Coffee House. The curry was nice… …and it went really well with the special rice they had, some kind of nasi minyak or something like that. The fried [...]

Getting together…

On Monday night, I was invited by Yan to a gathering hosted by a local daily in conjunction with “Journalists’ Day”. The guest-of-honour was YB Datuk Wong… …who was my History teacher in Form 6 1970/1971 and when I was posted to a school in Sibu in 1983, he was the principal there…but only for [...]

Nice to be with you…

I went back to the Nice House Restaurant for dinner on Saturday night and we had the fish maw soup… …with lots of fish maw in it… It was very nice but in my opinion, not thick enough for what they called the thick version of the soup. It did not really matter though as [...]

The wind blows…

These came from Kpenyu all the way from the Land below the Wind. Bukitassek came back to Sibu for a night for All Souls’ Day (in advance) and so Kenyu grabbed the chance to send me some dim sum from one of the popular places in town – Wong Kwok . I used to love [...]

Comfortable…

Anybody dropping by Sibu is most warmly welcomed to put up at my place. There is a spare room… …with a queen-size double bed. Put in an additional single bed/mattress, it should be comfortable enough for three persons. Other arrangements may be made in the event of there being more than that coming…but you will [...]

Good for you…

I got the following information from this website: “As for health benefits, the unsaturated fat content in peanut butter helps reduce the risk of heart disease by 25% (if you eat 1oz per day), its rich folate and niacin (vitamin B3) content helps increase the HDL (good cholesterol) level by as much as 30%, all [...]

Little things mean a lot…

An ex-student posted this video clip on Facebook the other day and I reposted the link there as well. Actually, I had stumbled upon a copy of the story sometime ago and I had used it in my English language lessons. I can’t remember but I might have adapted it and changed it to a [...]

Insensitive…

Actually, it was Clare who linked the following report to my profile on Facebook yesterday. It had been taken from NST Online… You’re too fat to be a teacher, woman told 2009/10/21 KUCHING: When Joanna Gilbert Asson was accepted for a postgraduate course at the Teachers Training College Rajang, she was beside herself with joy. But [...]
