Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Not the same…

I love kolo mee and I cannot imagine going to Kuching and not eating that before coming back! Gerrie kept asking when we could go to eat the Old Oriental Cafe kolo mee, located where the old Cathay Cinema was formerly…but the problem was my daughter wanted to sleep late and I would rather let her [...]

I believe I can fly (2)…

They were telling me the other day that soon an overweight passenger will have to buy two tickets if he or she were to fly in a plane. What the ****!!! Discrimination! I protest! For one thing, we do not have a choice! Our so-called trans-Sarawak/Borneo highway comes nowhere near those that they have in [...]

Hotel room service…

I prefer staying in hotels. Every time I travel, I will gracefully decline any invitation to stay at someone’s house, never mind whether it’s a relative or friend. Maybe it is because I used to travel a lot when I was still in government service and I stayed in hotels all the time…and I enjoyed [...]

With a little bit of luck (2)…

If you’re going to Gerrie’s pot luck party, you certainly do not need a little bit of luck for there will be so much to choose from that there is bound to be something that you would like to eat. Well, we had a pot luck gathering at her house the 2nd night my daughter [...]

So much…

Last Saturday afternoon in Kuching, Vivien whom you’ve met in an earlier post, took my daughter and me to this restaurant named Chef’s Delicious (near Timberland Medical Centre) where an old and good friend of ours, Mary, was waiting. Mary wanted to give me a treat as her eldest daughter would be getting married soon [...]

Naked…

The English expression “in the buff” actually means naked or as one of the online dictionaries puts in – bare-assed or completely unclothed. Don’t worry though…as this is not going to be a post on nudity nor are you going to see any revealing photos of any kind. Now, now! Are those sighs of disappointment [...]

Again and again…

This is my favourite restaurant in Kuching… …when it comes to western food and I’ve been dropping by there for dinner again and again.  It’s not too high class till you feel chokingly uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, the place is pretty casual…and they even have a bar where yuppies would gather…plus I love [...]

Together again (2)…

Auntie Vivien has known my daughter ever since she was a baby. She calls her my kim kia (golden child) and when she was a baby, she used to buy some very nice outfits for her – some skimpy, sexy ones too! LOL!!! She had always been there somewhere as my daughter was growing up and [...]

Here I am again…

My daughter would be leaving for New Zealand pretty soon in around a fortnight’s time…and since she had not been to Kuching for a while, she was keen on the idea of dropping by over the weekend. Initially, I had wanted to stay at this new hotel in town for the experience and to pamper [...]

It’s a heartache…

In my previous post, I mentioned that the ministry changed my daughter’s date of departure to New Zealand to the 8th of February instead of the 11th. Because of that, I had to make fresh air ticket bookings…and go to the MAS office in town to cancel the earlier ones, paying a cancellation fee of [...]
