Saturday in the park…

Well, it wasn’t Saturday that day…but we did get to stroll around the park. More about that later!

My ex-student, Bernard, was home from Canberra, Australia for the summer holidays and was in town for a few days. He contacted me and we managed to squeeze in some time to go out for breakfast. Finally, I managed to try out this place that he had been raving on and on about – praising it to the skies – the Bukit Lima swimming pool canteen.

I had the kampua noodles – white (RM2.20)…

…which was tossed in chio-cheng (light soy sauce) and Bernard had it black (RM2.20)…

…tossed in dark soy sauce and he had his with chilli sauce as well.

I would say that the noodles were pretty good and so were the pian sip – soup (RM2.20) that I had…

The stall was run by a middle-aged lady who was assisted by her son, probably a school drop-out…and Bernard told them that I was his teacher. When the son came over to serve us, he greeted me and said, “Nice to meet you!” Gee! That was so sweet…and the fact that he could speak fluent English would get him my thumbs-up. The way things are going, he’s a rare breed these days, I’m afraid…

Well, after breakfast, Bernard and I went for a stroll at the park right beside the canteen/swimming pool…

It has been there for a while now and I’d driven past a few times but I never actually stopped there to walk around and enjoy the peace and quiet in the vicinity…

This is the Kutien Memorial Park in Sibu…

…and there are a few others around that I have not been to either.

Perhaps it is time that I get my butt out of the chair and drop by these places. The relaxing stroll would certainly do me good, don’t you think? LOL!!
