Van Houten Twinkles

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Van Houten Twinkles


See this tube of Twinkles? This is from Van Houten, it’s called Twinkles. It’s not new actually hahaha…

Just that I’m just wondering when you see this, does it make you think back to the time when you were still little boy or little girl? Back then we always like to asked our parents for this kind of chocolate or being fed by our parents, aunties, uncles, grandma, grandpa and so on with tubes of button chocolates like this. All we had that time were those cheapo brand ones… Not like now. We now have Smarties, Twinkles, even M&M’s, all these are branded ones and of course pricier than those cheapo brand ones. The chocolate tastes different too of course.

ARG! I feel so old now…

Sharing The Love

Dell engineer would be coming later to change some components of my XPS. Sigh… If it’s still not fixed for the second time, I will demand a full refund, by then I willl have to use back my old laptop until I got a new one. NO!!! *cross my fingers*

Update: Replaced motherboard again -.-” now also replaced the fan. It was quite heated when tested but nothing much can be done as anything that need to be replaced is replaced. So just have to test it for few more days to see whether problem still presist. Now I’m using it, so far so good, not that heated anymore.

It’s been a while not getting tagged hahaha… This time got tagged by Lil’ Ms Pinky because she said that she still owed me her french twist tutorial πŸ˜› I love french twist but never got it right and she’s so good in doing it because she was an air stewardess with MAS before. I think her french twist was her signature back then.

I have high respect for air stewardesses, stewards, the pilots and the engineers. Not all are bad, even if they are bad, that’s their personal life, you are no one to judge, their job is to make sure you reach your destination as comfortable and as safe as possible. In any profession, there’s bound to have good and bad people and usually the bad ones make the rest looked ugly but we should not generalised people like this. Some of you might know that one of my ambitions when I was a little girl was to join the airline as air stewardess hehehe… Too bad, I’m too short, that’s it, period. ;p

So what this tag is all about?
This award was created by a very touched and indebted mother. Read further…

“This award is extra special because Crystal created it in honor of the donor who saved her son’s life. Her son Noah had to have a heart transplant when he was just over a month old. This award is supposed to help raise awareness of the importance of organ donation.”

So, here are the rules Crystal gave:

SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**

“So I created this award in Honor Of The Donor That Saved NoahÒ€ℒs Life. I share this award with those of you whose love and friendship have enriched my life and made my world a better place.

I hope by passing this award around the blogging world we can all help raise awareness of the need for Organ Donation.”

Have you ever think of organ donation? I think, if I’m not mistaken, all you need to do is get the organ donation card to fill in and keep it with you such as in your wallet, handbag or with some important documents. In case something happen to you, those who found the card can help you convey your intention to the hospital to harvest your organs and donate to those that needs them.

There’s a need of such awareness. We always heard about blood donation, organ donation is not always heard of but it’s something important just like blood donation. It’s encourage by all religions, at least for the religions that I know of because it’s a good thing to do. Imagine when you are dead, your healthy organs can help those in need and keep them alive since you won’t need it anymore by then. It’s something very noble.

As for me, I haven’t do aything to be a donor yet but I don’t mind donate mine by then. At least my intention is made known here hahaha…

I’m not going to tag anyone though. Hmm… Maybe all those in my blogroll πŸ˜› Hahaha… If you feel like help spreading this cause out, you are welcome to do so.

2nd Home Eatery

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on 2nd Home Eatery

Went to 2nd Home Eatery few days back. Didn’t know where to go, so just simply find a place at Jalan Keretapi where Pearl Bridal Studio is located as there are some eateries that we’ve never been to.


At the end, we decided to go to 2nd Home Eatery. Sat down and found out that the food choices were a bit limited. If you want to eat some local food like kangkong and things like that, you could order them but not many choices. As for other food, you could order fried noodle, kueh tiaw or bee hoon.


Left: Curry Noodle(RM5.50), portion a bit small, with such price for a non-aircon place, I think it’s a bit pricey for me. For the taste, it’s OK for me but according to the person who had this, it’s not spicy enough, in fact it’s quite spicy for those that cannot tolerate spicy food.

Right: Mee Mamak(RM4.50), just OK, portion was OK for me. The spiciness was OK for me but again if you can’t stand spicy food, then don’t order.

The environment wasn’t bad, just the prices gave me a bit of shock. One more thing… I forgot to bring my camera again…

Queue At Kuching’s Petrol Stations?

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Queue At Kuching’s Petrol Stations?

Hey! Don’t forget that Silver Point blog promotion will end soon and Ten Ichi June promotion will end soon too.

I’m sure many of you got a shocked yesterday because there were queues at all the petrol stations in Kuching. I heard from the radio that all roads leading to petrol stations were jammed in KL and my first thought was there’s another fuel price hike coming?!?! Then Ann called me last night asking me whether I knew anything about it or not but I didn’t. It turned out that the petrol stations were threatening to stop fuel sales for 3 days soon. It’s just a rumour, how true it was I had no idea at all.

Obviously all the newspapers in Kuching will surely run this news on their first page today. Indeed!

One of the newspapers here showed a photo of vehicles queuing up to get their tank filled in Kuching but… The photo isn’t photo of Kuching! Hahaha… The caption stated that it’s Kuching but it’s somewhere in Sabah, not Kuching, so misleading. Why I said so? You can click on the picture you see in this post to view the larger version to find out why.

Kuching doesn’t have Esso anymore but Exel, so does other places in Sarawak. Then majority of the carplates started with “S”. Next, the building on the left, is not a building in Kuching, we don’t have a KK Box here and our phone numbers don’t start with 088. Hahaha…

By the way, did you queue for fuel yesterday?

OK… Back to work πŸ˜›

Causeway Bay, Dinner With Family

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Causeway Bay, Dinner With Family

I kept forgetting to bring my camera these days. -.-” Luckily I have my camera phone with me but I still prefer a camera… Used to bring my camera everywhere but lately I kept forget about it. NO!!! Must bring, must bring, must bring…

First of all, the photos here are taken with my phone, I forgot to bring my camera with me πŸ™ Why? It shouldn’t be this way, I guess it’s because lately there’s not much photo to take so I didn’t bother to bring my camera along.

Went to Causeway Bay, Crown Square for dinner last Saturday night. Let’s see what we ordered:

Left: Carrot juice(don’t remember the price), plum juice(RM3+ I think…), and strawberry ice blended(RM5.80).
Right: The Ring(RM5.50), shouldn’t have order this because it’s very salty and we ordered too much food hehehe… I had to finish this alone. Stuffed myself with it hahaha… It’s actually onion ring with a little bit of other veggies in there. Not recommended.


Left: I ordered Tom Yam Seafood Mee Hoon In Thai Style(RM8.90), portion was big, taste wise nothing to rave about.
Right: Fish & Chips(RM11.90), I didn’t try it so not sure about it but mom didn’t complain though.


Left: Chicken Chop Burger In Macau Style(RM6.20), dad said that it’s not bad.
Right: Cheese Baked Rice With Venison(RM10.50), it’s quite sweet. Having difficulty finishing it so my bro and I exchanged our food, I finished up this for him and he helped me finished up my mee hoon.

Overall total was RM59+ inclusive of GST. Was really stuffed!! πŸ˜›
