Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Archive for February, 2011

Honest…

Rejang Park in Sibu is one of the earliest housing estates in town. There is a commercial centre in this residential area where one can find a market, a number of shops, a traffic garden and there used to be a cinema but it had since closed down. There are a lot of eating places [...]

In the summertime…

My daughter and I flew on Malaysia Airlines MH2715, 17th February from Sibu to KLIA…and she left for Auckland the following night (18th), also on Malaysia Airlines and I came home on MH2718, 19th February from KLIA to Sibu . It has been well over a week now that Melissa has gone back to Wellington, New [...]

Sweet thing…

Usually when I go somewhere, I would buy something to take home…and maybe give some to my parents and sister and also to my in-laws. On this recent trip to KL, I went to the stall selling nyonya kuehs… *recycled pic* …located in the basement of Sungai Wang Plaza, opposite the KFC outlet there. I’ve [...]

Barbara Ann…

Well, it’s Barbera actually, Cafe Barbera to be exact… If I’m not mistaken, there’s one at Bangsar Park and now, this Italian-themed eatery has an outlet at KLIA… I love these cute plates that they have hanging on the wall… …and that day when I was flying back to Sibu from KLIA, Mandy, Zee, Zul [...]

Count to 10…

When my nephew was home for Chinese New Year recently, he kept telling me about this food court at the basement of Lot 10 in KL where, according to him, the hawkers/stall owners were all finger-picked by Francis Yeoh from among the best in KL and the surrounding areas. So when Annie-Q suggested meeting up [...]

Sherry…

To be exact, her name is Shereen and she lives with her family in Auckland, New Zealand. I don’t know how she stumbled upon my blog and started commenting on my posts…but I sure am glad that she did. She took it upon herself to offer to meet Melissa upon arrival at the Auckland International [...]

Hakuna matata…

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata! Ain’t no passing craze! It means no worries for the rest of your days. It’s our problem-free…philosophy Hakuna Matata! But unfortunately, it seems that more often than not, Melissa would worry a lot like when she had to fly from KL to Auckland – her first long-haul [...]

4 in the morning…

Thankfully, it was not 4 in the morning but a bit later, at 7 o’ clock… It would still be dark in KL – like 6.00 a.m. in Sibu and here, by 6.30, it would be as bright as day already. At the hotel where I was staying in KL, complimentary breakfast is served from [...]

Honey, I’m home…

Well, I’m home – back in Sibu, safe and sound and in one piece! My daughter got to Wellington, New Zealand safely too and is currently readjusting her body clock  and resettling herself down there. Thanks so much once again to Shereen for meeting her at Auckland International Airport and taking her out for lunch [...]

Family…

In 2010, my missus and I were stranded in KL on Chinese New Year’s Eve, after sending off Melissa when she left for New Zealand. This year, Melissa and I ended up in KL on Chap Goh Meh, the 15th night of the Chinese Lunar New Year. ..when families would get together for another reunion dinner [...]
