Green Heights Mall

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Green Heights Mall

Sigh… There you go… My nightmare begins… I was invited for a food tasting this afternoon but because of my class I can’t go πŸ™


I didn’t want to loss out so I went to Green Heights Mall yesterday. This is the latest mall in Kuching. If you are expecting it to be another big one, you’re so wrong, it’s so small. Very small that meant to be for those staying nearby instead of huge mall like tHe Spring or Boulevard. When everyone is trying to build the biggest mall, this one stands out by just being the smallest one.


The opening ceremony was over when I reached there. Coffee Bean isn’t open for business yet. So do other shops, you can even count with your 5 fingers.


Left: Cold Storage is finally here in Kuching. I had surveyed some of the stuffs there. Some of them are slightly expensive compare to other places. They have lots of imported food that I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere in Kuching before. They aren’t cheap of course. There’s a cheese section, wow… See the stock of cheese, I’ve never seen so many different types of cheese before. At the meat section, they have meats that are marinated and nicely presented, don’t be fool by the cheap prices you see, it’s actually displayed based on per gram instead of kilo hahaha…

Right: Desserts, the third branch in Kuching, it’s expanding really fast.


Left: The only escalator you can find.

Right: Second floor has nothing yet. Only 4 stalls are opened. The rest still not open for business.


Left: They try to bring in the natural light with this.

Right: Random shoot of the decorations hanging from the ceiling.


Left: View of a section of Cold Storage taken from the second floor.

Right: Guardian is having special offers now. If you buy more than RM80 worth of products, you get a goodie bags! I got it and there’re lots of samples in there. Great for my trip to Penang this October. If you buy more than RM50, you can get RM5 discount with the voucher available on the flyer they’re giving out.

It seemed like most people went there and ended up with bags and bags of stuffs. Business seemed pretty good hahaha…

Uniquely Kuching

I know… I know…I’m extremely late in posting this. Anyway, it’s better than never, enjoy the music video. Ponder upon it.

This is a non-profit, non-partisan, independent project from Malaysians directly to Malaysians.

This muisc video was introduced few months back if I’m not mistaken. I never have the chance to watch it because everytime I wanted to watch it, it just didn’t want to load. Even if it loaded, there’s no sound coming out or it would only load for few seconds and not moving anymore. Finally yesterday it works!

Some said that the video is sensitive, I don’t see it… Hmm…

You can get more details at malaysianartistesforunity.info

The Chasing Dreams

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on The Chasing Dreams

Currently running out of things to blog πŸ˜› Actually have some photos but quite lazy to do them hehehe… It’s been a while not posting random things like this.

Why blog about dreams? Actually I dreamt of something few nights ago and oh my it’s was really adventurous, it’s as if I’m watching a movie starring me in there! Hahaha… Anyway, let’s go to some dream patterns that I’ve been having for 26 years of my life. ARG! I’m 26 -.-” 4 more years to the BIG 3-0!! OH NO!!! πŸ˜›

I always have dreams in colours. I don’t think I remember any black & white dream. I always got dreams with bad guys chasing after me but at the end I always managed to get away from them. I noticed a pattern in this kind of dream of mine. The story line is always almost the same but the bad guys and the surroundings are different. I always got this kind of dream after I’m done with my stress instead of during the time I’m stressed. That explains why I always manage to escape from them hahaha…

When I was a kid:
I always dreamt of me being chased by monsters or some robots and I was running away from them at colourful places. I was actually wearing some cute clothings hahaha… I even ran away from them by floating inside a bubbles, running up colourful stairs, hiding in colourful mazes and, and flying away with a balloon. All the cute and colourful stuffs except the bad guys were very ugly.

When I was in my early teenage years:
I would have dream being chased by monster, you know those monster we usually watched in Ultraman, Power Rangers and so on. I don’t remember what I’m wearing though. I would be running around hiding and escaping from them at home, at school or some unknown places with staircase. They are not that colourful and cute anymore but still had colours.

When I was in my late teenage years and in my early 20’s:
I would dream that I’m being chased by bad human be it men or women instead of monsters. I would be wearing casual clothings ranging from jeans to skirts. It’s always places with staircase. I could jump from one place to another without logic. It could be in a house and suddenly in a garden or then out of sudden to somewhere like the beach and so on. It’s never logical, it’s scattered everywhere.

Now…:
I’m would be wearing some formal clothings like office wears, power suits, heels, you know… Corporate clothings. I would be in full make up, hair well managed and so on. I would be chased at places like hotels or shopping malls or office, basement carpark, lifts, staircase, in the middle of the a metropolitan and highrise buildings. Now, I’m not alone but with people helping me to escape even undercover policewomen or even spies and we all dressed up so nicely while running away hahaha… This time, I don’t have to always run as there would be a vehicle at least for me to escape, then run again, vehicle again hahaha…

OMG! Hahaha… See the patterns? Interesting right?

In fact I was busy and since now I have some extra time to relax, I played games πŸ˜› As I don’t think I will have much free time starting next week. Assignments, classes and works would be taking up most of my time. So I took this opportunity to play as much as I like.

This is not paid!! I stumbled upon King.com few months back when I was looking for some new games such as Diner Dash, Fab Fashion and so on in Yahoo. I registered this account for fun and played some games in there. It’s quite fun and relaxing. Then I forget about it for few months.

Chapter 10: The Finale

Posted on By sweet surrender 14 Comments on Chapter 10: The Finale

Continue from Chapter 9: IÒ€ℒm Relocating…

After the transition period, finally he started working in October 2004. I remember that his first flight with his new company was to Guam. As time went by, he got busier and didn’t contact me as much as he used to because of different time zones, the routes and roster were very different from his previous company. He’s tired most of the time and would went straight to sleep after his flight sometimes even without changing his uniform.

I didn’t get his phone calls, even not responding to my e-mails. At least he did on his MSN sometimes and we managed to chat a bit and replied my e-mails in there. One day in October, I finally got an e-mail from him. It’s rare to get an e-mail from him from Frankfurt or is it Copenhagen(don’t remember). I was so excited! The e-mail was the best e-mail ever, everytime I read it I would be in tears. According to his e-mail, he typed it quite sometimes ago but saved it in draft and decided to send it out to me because he missed me so badly. It was really touching.

After this e-mail, nothing again… Until… 25th December 2004, the e-mail to wish me Merry Chirstmas and to tell me that he’s busy, he’s in Copenhagen and it was freezing and he would contact me after 6th January 2005 which he would be freerer by then because the holiday season would be over. Also, he would be spending his new year in LA. I replied him saying that it’s the best Christmas present ever and looking forward for him to contact me.

6th January 2005, I was hoping he would call but no, not even a single e-mail or anything. I waited thinking that he might be busy. Until few days later, I got an e-mail with his name as the subject, I thought it was junk, so I sent it to junk folder but there’s a little voice that asked me to check the mail, I opened it, read it, I thought it was a prank but my hands started to shiver, my chest tightening, my eyes filled with tears, part of me still thought that it’s a prank as he told me he would be in LA for new year, how was it possible he went to Phuket!?!?

I quickly sent an e-mail to him about it. At the same time, replied to the person that sent me the e-mail. I kept reading the mail over and over again to find some clues that it’s not real. I didn’t sleep that night, I was worried, I was afraid, I’ve been crying quietly. I was hoping it’s a prank and kept praying and praying.

Next day in the office, I checked my mail and saw that person replied saying that they were still looking for him and he went there because he managed to secure leaves to go back to his hometown(Kuching) but before that he would spend 3 days at Phuket. There wasn’t a sign of him replying me. Everything shattered into pieces. It got worst when I found out that he was supposed to come here to meet me. I tried to hide my feelings as if nothing happened. I’m still trying to be hopeful that he would be found alive but sadly later that night, I got another e-mail confirming that he’s gone.

I was still in doubt, I demanded on how he was able to get my e-mail. I was told that his PDA was stored in the hotel’s safe, this is the only thing spared from the tragedy, his laptop and everything were damaged. His mother asked that person to send out e-mails to everyone in his PDA to inform them about the tragedy that hit him.

I’m glad he did keep my contact safely as I told him about my concern before. If the PDA was not in the safe, I would be in dark, I might not know his fate, I might labelled him as someone bad because he “played” with my feelings and went missing out of a sudden. I’m glad it didn’t end that way.

There wasn’t a goodbye in his last e-mail. There would never be one. The rest is history.

Here I am, sharing this with you. I thought I would finish this story without much emotions but I was so wrong. I was already in tears when I’m in the second paragraph. It’s not that I can’t let go of him, it’s just something sad, the worst thing that happened to me so far. Our relationship was brief but I learnt a lot from him. It had changed my life perspectives and things happened for a reason. We were not meant to be but I’m meant to be with someone else.

To you-know-who-you-are, if it’s not for him, we won’t know each other. You are who you are. I hope things will work out for us. I hope it will go well. Thanks for that phone call the other day. I’ve not been experiencing such warm fussy feelings ever since his dismiss. You had made my day. Miss you.
