Fang Yuen

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Fang Yuen

You want to get the best Hainan chicken rice or char siew(red BBQ pork meat) in Kuching? Fang Yuen is the place you should go. Well… That’s what many people said. For me… Nothing special… Just normal chicken rice and normal char siew. *SHRUG* I guess I’m not really a fan of chicken rice *LOL*


It’s always packed with people! If you are wondering where it’s situated, it’s just behind Hock Lee. Very easy to locate. Ample parking space too.


The basic thing you have when you are eating chicken rice, the chili is important, some people will mix the soy sauce with the chili to give extra flavour but not me. The belacan is a must too. As for the bowl of curry with no meat, just the curry, it’s only applicable to places that serve curry chicken rice and usually you can get it at places that serve Hainan chicken rice.


Of course, the rice and the soup. The soup not nice, so peppery and very salty -.-‘ The rice so-so only and that time they ran out of chicken rice and the plate of rice that my dad got was plain rice mixed with the chicken rice which they did inform us earlier because the chicken rice was out of stock, so it’s not that bad. Oh well… Their business is always very good, it’s was Sunday too. In fact, had this 2 weeks ago! *LOL* I forget to update about it! 😛


TADA! The char siew and the steamed chicken. Portion very little for 4 persons don’t you think? Good thing, my bro and I wasn’t in the mood to eat a lot, it was so hot and humid that day and we were sitting outside of the shop. It’s only RM15 for 4 of us! Cheap! Haven’t count the drinks yet hehehe…

Where is NTV7?!?!?! It’s been missing in action for days already! I want to watch CSI and Hell’s Kitchen!!!

Continue from Kuching Entertainers’ Gathering 2007 – Part 1


After eating, the performance started. This group is called Meteoras.


Left: This girl is… Can’t remember her name. She was supposed to be with her other team member but ended up alone because her team member couldn’t made it that day.
Right: Mix mix mix hahaha… Many people thought he’s T-MO-T *LOL*, this is DJ68.


This group is Fat Man Funk. It’s good but their performance was so looooooong! I heard that they were supposed to perform 3 songs but each of their song was so looooong! The organizers had to asked them to stop by trying to interrupt by singing or dancing to their beat(right photo) but they kept on playing. We were getting impatient also! It’s getting late already and they were running out of time! There were still so many performers. At the end, we noticed that some performance were skipped to make way for other bands to perform. Well… Can’t blame them also as I think they might have this miscommunication by not aksing the duration of the band performance, if they did, I’m sure there won’t be such problem.


Left: Finally something classic after hearing all the modern music. This is from CMC. I told Ben they’re his kids, he said they’re his grandchildren! *LOL*
Right: From “Wu Ling”, if I’m not mistaken they are doing shuffler or hip hop? I can’t really differentiate 😛 Lighting was so bad! Why they like to use the red light!??!? It produced horrible photos! I had to do so much of editting to this photo but still not good. There’s another performance from them but the photo was so bad that I don’t want to edit anymore!


Left: *LOL* As Georgette put it, “The Drag Queen” -.-‘ This was not in the list, just happened that the organiser saw him and asked him to went up to the stage and had a brief interview with him while the other performers were busy setting up their musical instruments.
Right: Maximum performing to the max with their dancing and singing but hehehe… The singing is not live! Cheh! They were just Lip-synched.


WOW! Love this! Hehehe… Belly dancing but the lighting ruined my photos! GRRR!! For crying out loud! Please don’t use the red light OK!?!?!


Left: “Chao” means noisy in Chinese. Damn! You guys are so NOISY! Ish… I don’t like.
Right: This girl is performing solo unplugged. I can’t remember her name. She wrote and composed her own song. She was singing a song dedicated to her sister who had left this world.


Left: Leslie & Edwin also doing solo unplugged.
Right: Who else but Shal Sagan! I didn’t know she’s performing!


Left: Shal Sagan and her band. She will be debuting her new album in KL soon.
Right: FRANKIE! FRANKIE! YES! The long awaited performance by Starlight but too bad… All my photos turned out bad because of the shadows and the RED LIGHTING!!! You see Frankie? The one on the right in green t-shirt with a hat.


Left: Performance by SLaP!, one of the organisers.
Right: Dream Machine, no comment… I don’t remember what they were performing *LOL*


Left: LOOK GLADIEZZ! LOOK! See who’s there!?!??! Hehehe… Another long awaited performance by Pazuzu!! ZU ZU! ZU ZU! 😛 Hahaha… we were kinda shocked that he actually performed that night too! Hahaha… He sang too! Gladiezz sure was high! Hahaha…
Right: Pazuzu is the one on the right. His band name is channel 1.

It’s was 11pm+ already. There were still other performances. Since Frankie and Pazuzu were done with their performances, it’s time to go home. Hehehe… Only went there to support them 😛

Keep it up!!

ARG!!! *CRY* My nose super itchy since last night! I HATE cigarette smoke! Damn smelly, don’t understand why these people so like to smoke!??! YUCK! You thought very cool meh?!??! I don’t think so, to me you are just a bunch of people that trying to act cool! That’s why I hate crowds. You seldom see me in parties and crowded places. If possible, I usually avoid crowded places and places that allow smoking. It sucks! Make me sick only!

Went to Kuching Entertainers’ Gathering 2007 last night. We were there so early because we’re afraid that we won’t be able to find parking.


Left: Took one shoot before it started. Went to Crown Square to have a drink before going over.
Right: Went back at almost 7pm. Things were already setup. We went there as bloggers hehehe…


Left: Signed before went in but I didn’t sign. Couldn’t stand too many people smoking there. I escaped as fast as I could. Oh… It’s RM10 per person.
Right: Our drinks and fried rice. It was buffet dinner but we asked the guys to take the food and everything. We shared instead of taking our own food hehehe… Smart eh?


Left: Sausages, nuggets and fries.
Middle: Fried spaghetti.
Right: Curry chicken.


Left: Sandwich. I didn’t know got two types, I only ate the one with mayonnaise.
Middle: Why is the candle doing here!!??! We ate half way and BLACKOUT! We were in total darkness hehehe but it didn’t stop us from eating and chat loud loud 😛 I think we, group of bloggers(me, Jimmy, Ben, Gladiezz, JF, Rose, Eve, T-MO-T, Ting, Ah Bao, Paul) are the loudest of all hehehe…
Right: JF asked for ice because he was sweating like *don’t know how to say* -.-‘ Then he got this idea of filling the bucket of ice with the drinks *LOL*


Left: Rambo(the guy standing, he’s from SLaP!, one of the organizers. I knew him way back in 1999 or 2000, forget hahaha… He doesn’t know me. That time my friends and I went to his dad’s shop to get the school magazine advertisement done and he also advertised his jamming studio too) came to entertain us during the blackout.
Middle: Ben, in the mood of pose nice nice for me hehehe… We had so much of camwhoring during the blackout! Hehehe.. Lots of camera flashes from our table. Bloggers…. What to do?
Right: Paul fanned Eve, it was so hot!


Left: We ate in the dark. Hahaha…
Middle: Frankie, he performed last night.
Right: Paul and Eve, so like to camwhore *LOL*

Something missing? You don’t see me right? Oh well… What to do? I’m the one behind the camera hehe…

Part 2 coming soon… Too many photos!

Sweet Surrender’s 9th Layout

Posted on By sweet surrender 23 Comments on Sweet Surrender’s 9th Layout

Hehehe… See the new layout! Bye bye design number 8(picture on the left). I decided to implement it now. I can’t stand the messy sidebar of my previous layout anymore.

After months of modifications, finally it’s out! There are some glitches that I need to resolve but not much. Welcome to the brand new layout of Sweet Surrender! Enjoy your stay!

Going to update it to v9.0 hehehe… The 9th design. Usually I changed my layout once a year but this year this is my second change. This will last till next year end maybe…

Will still be tinkering around the layout until I’m satisfied with it. After this is done, I’ll try to upgrade my WordPress version.

Sabati Women’s Museum

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Sabati Women’s Museum


This is actually a new museum, fairly new. It’s open not long ago. Located at Old Court House.

Nothing much to see but you can learn about the women in Sarawak that contribute their efforts in Sarawak’s education field to politics. My secondary school ex-principal’s face is there too and her face is display under two categories, education and politic.

She’s none other than Puan Fatimah(get to used to refer to her using Puan instead of Datin) hahaha… I really salute this woman, our school was nothing back then and when she came, it improved a lot and make quite a name for itself in various contests/fields. Besides that, our school experienced dramatic facelift also! She planted those flowers and picked up rubbish together with the students when we had weekly school cleaning session which every week several classes will participate in it. Sometimes when she’s free, she will do the gardening and picking up rubbish herself too.

She was only in our school for 1 year+ or 1 year? Can’t remember anymore hahaha… It was short but had changed a lot of things to our school.

Anyway, if you would like to learn more about these women, you can visit the museum.
