Not really…

I knew my friend, Kongkay, had been there as I saw his photograph taken at this place… …on Facebook but when I asked him about it, he did not sound very enthusiastic at all. But I had heard some favourable reviews of the kaya (coconut jam) buns… …with kaya and salted egg inside. I also heard [...]

Simple (1)…

This happens all the time. After a few days of eating all the delicious but rich and heavy foods like chicken curry… …or these to-die-for assam prawns with pineapples… …or this yummy masak hitam beef from Annie-Q‘s mum… …I would start craving for something simpler and lighter. So on the 4th Day of Chinese New [...]

Thanks for being there…

I am truly blessed that I have such wonderful friends who will always be there whenever I need them… My daughter had just gone over to Sungai Petani around three weeks ago so she was not keen on making the journey to and fro all over again just to come home for a week or [...]

Always welcome…

This year, I did not really hold an open house for the Chinese New Year festival the way I used to. We would cook a lot and for at least three days, we would be inviting relatives, colleagues and friends to drop by for lunch or dinner or in-betweens. However, our door was always open [...]

People get ready…

We’re into the 5th Day of the Chinese Lunar New Year now – the Year of the Dragon. So how has it been for all of you? Gone back to work already, some of you? I guess most people have taken the whole week off to go back to their respective homes. Did you have [...]

The night before (2)

It has always been the annual practice of the true-blue Sibuians to travel from near or far to get home to Sibu for Chinese New Year every year. In fact, right after this one, there would be people booking their air tickets for next year already just to make sure that they do not miss [...]

The night before (1)…

Come Chinese New Year, members of the family would come home from near or far to sit down together at one big table for the reunion dinner. Unfortunately, this year, Melissa has just left for Sungai Petani some three weeks ago and would not one to go through the hassle of travelling home and going [...]

Something for me…

Oh? There was something for me too? Golly gee! I didn’t realise that! Well, if you’re wondering what I’m talking about, this blogger-friend of mine, [SK], was giving out some awards to his readers and commenters recently. I did take a peek at the list of winners and I did see my name in there [...]

I wish you love…

Amidst the deafening sounds of the firecrackers And the colourful glare of the fireworks in the air Everybody, young and old, all in good cheer Happily welcomes the coming of a brand new year Thank you all for everything in the year gone past Hopefully, the new one’s even better than the last. Now, with [...]

Descendants of the dragon…

Well, it’s Chinese New Year’s Eve today and finally, we get to say goodbye to the Year of the Rabbit and usher in the brand new Year of the Dragon 2012… So are you a descendant of The Dragon (龙的传人)? Or to be more precise, were you born in the Year of the Dragon out [...]
