Groan! I’m so tired after all the weeding! I wonder why my missus would go and plant all those things…and I’ve got somebody to come and cut the grass in my lawn too…and good grief! The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year’s Eve…and there is still so much to do! I’m glad that I’ve [...]
There is a hawker centre near my house – Taman Muhibbah (Togetherness Park). I seldom eat there as it is some kind of an open air place and without a fan, I would be feeling hot and uncomfortable, perspiring from every pore. So most of the time, I would buy the food there and bring [...]
My daughter and I went to my favourite Sarawak laksa place for lunch but while she had the laksa, I opted for the nasi ayam Pattaya (Pattaya chicken rice)… It had been quite a while since I last had it and it seemed that the chicken was a bit less than what I used to [...]
A friend of mine uploaded these old photographs… …onto Facebook the other day. Omigawd!!! I looked so young then… Gee! When did I grow to be so old? That was in 1999…when a group of teachers from Sarawak and Sabah got together in Kota Kinabalu to work on a project for English Language teachers in [...]
I bet a lot of people know this song, especially if they are my age. It was in the movie, “The Sound of Music”… …the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical set in Austria based on the lives of the Von Trapp family singers. However, I wonder how many actually know what Edelweiss is though… Well, if [...]
Chinese New Year is in the air here in Sibu… This is in the vicinity of the Tua Pek Kong temple in the town centre. One can see lanterns everywhere… …and we have to brace ourselves for the earth-shattering blasts of fireworks and firecrackers anytime all through the night. Tsk! Tsk! We were in that [...]
I stopped by a coffee shop the other day for a plate of fried kway teow (flat rice noodles) and opted to go without a drink as the kopi-o-peng (iced black coffee) had gone up to RM1.50 from the former price of RM1.30. The price of the noodles had increased too – RM3.00, formerly RM2.80. [...]
I first tried the celebrated Penang assam laksa in December, 1973 on Penang Hill and I did not like the seemingly-peculiar taste…or at least, that was what it felt like at the time. On another occasion, I just tried a little bit of it when somebody had a bowl of that in KL and I was [...]
I do not go to the movies anymore and I do not watch television either – except perhaps “American Idol”, the latest season of which has started. But I did know that the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was on the other day and I googled to see which song won the Best Original Song category. [...]
The other day, my daughter and I went to the Kopi-O Cafe, a food court at the Sing Kwong Complex in the Salim area here in Sibu as she wanted to eat the claypot chicken rice or the pork and salted fish claypot rice there… *recycled pic* Unfortunately, the stall was not open for business, [...]
