Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Almost there…

I went to get a haircut the other day. Lately, I do not go so regularly, having retired from government service…and I will usually let it grow until I cannot stand it anymore before I will go and get it trimmed. Besides, there isn’t much of it left…and considering how expensive one session of cut [...]

Santa Claus is coming to town…

You’d better watch out You’d better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town… Well, it certainly looked like it when Stella flew into Kuching from Melbourne in Australia with her bags and bags of goodies for everybody. She gave me these Aussie beef sausages… …which I have [...]

Cool cat…

Just when I was feeling sad and depressed by the thought that I did not have any mooncakes to eat on the actual Mooncake or Mid-Autumn Festival Day (the two I received from Annie sometime ago did not survive till the actual day), the doorbell rang and the courier service guy passed me this… Lo [...]

Wake me up before you go-go…

Well, some of you may heave a huge sigh of relief but it certainly looks like this is going to be the last post on my recent trip to Kuching. LOL!!! When I was there, I stayed at the 360 Hotel that I had blogged about before in this post. For RM135 nett a night [...]

Thicker than water…

My missus and I went to Kuching on Thursday, 16th September…but the actual day for the wedding was two days later, Saturday the 18th. However, there was a pot-luck get-together for members of the family on Friday night, 17th – the night before the wedding and all those who were around already by then were [...]

Sweet dreams (are made of these)…

When my missus and I were in Kuching, my cousin, Sophia, took us to this shop that was opened recently by a blogger, one half of a husband and wife blogging team… It is located at a new complex, Tabuan Plaza – a small but pleasant and comfortable place… We had a heavy brunch, so [...]

Bombay dreams…

On our first night in Kuching, we went to this Indian restaurant… …located among the shops along Nanas Road. Actually, we had just gone for high-tea – it was Gerrie‘s daughter, Tracy’s birthday…but another cousin of mine, Sophia, insisted that we stopped by this place to have a light dinner. I certainly liked what I [...]

Across the sea…

While all the festivities and celebrations were going on in Kuching on Saturday – 18th September, 2010, something similar was happening simultaneously across the South China Sea in Perth, Australia. My favourite and very handsome nephew, Quentin, was tying the knot with his gorgeous bride at a wedding ceremony in a beautiful and very romantic [...]

From this moment on (3)…

I mentioned in an earlier post that after the wedding service in the cathedral, we proceeded to the groom’s brand-new house for the tea ceremony… I did not take many photos as I was tired and hot and hungry – I think it was already past 1.00 p.m. by then. Anyway, when the newly-weds arrived, [...]

From this moment on (2)…

The wedding banquet was held at the Kuching Hilton ballroom, no less… …and as you can see, it was indeed a really posh and grand affair… Even the table setting was impressive… …and this was the wedding cake… I did not take the photos of the newly-weds cutting the cake but I managed to snap [...]
