Stary Stary Night

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Stary Stary Night

It’s been a while not posting anything random, am I the mood now, so please bear with me hahaha…

Three nights ago, around 12.30am-1am, I went to bed. Before I went to bed, I suddenly had this urge of looking out of the window to stare at the sky. I had no glasses on, things were blur but one star had grabbed my attention, it’s right up there, twinkling and twinkling, it’s big, it’s twinkling red, blue and white. It’s blurry to me, so I wore my glasses and LO & BEHOLD! PRETTY! AMAZING! It’s mesmerizing! I felt at peace.

I shifted my vision to other part of the sky and saw lots and lots of stars, so many of them that I’ve not been seeing for ages. The sky was clear, stars were everywhere. There were many bright ones twinkling in red, blue and white with the small ones surrounding them. Lots of them!

It seemed like there’s a zodiac sign formed but I had no idea what was it. The biggest one was far from the cluster. OH MY! I couldn’t help it but kept starring at them.

Sadly, it’s late, I must sleep. Off I went to sleep and felt a sense of peace.

P/S: too bad there was no way to capture any picture of the stars.

Hhun Film Japanese Crispy Seaweed

WAH 888th post! Nice number!

Craving for Tao Kae Noi and went to buy but then I saw Hhun Film next to it which is cheaper by few cents, I decided to try this out.

Not as good as Tao Kae Noi. Tao Kae Noi has bigger pieces and lightly flavoured but Hhun Film got lots of small pieces and heavily flavoured. Don’t like, don’t like. I still prefer Tao Kae Noi 😛 Hehehe…

I’m craving for Tao Kae Noi now… Can someone buy it and send it over for me? I want the wasabi or original one. Thanks ;P

Memories Grand Cafe Promotion

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Memories Grand Cafe Promotion

After watching the movie, it’s time for dinner. Couldn’t think of where to go until we sudddenly saw a banner outside of Memories Grand Cafe saying that they have dinner promotion going on now!


That’s how we ended up here. Spent too much lately… Have to save as much as possible. Sigh…


The drinks, you can choose to have Ribena, Lime Juice, Hot Coffee/Tea, Iced Tea, Iced Coffee or Iced Barley by adding on RM1.60 each. The two you see here are Ribena and Lime Juice.

The special set dinner has Grilled Chicken(RM8), Seafood Spaghetti(RM13.90), Lamb Chop(RM9), Beef Spaghetti(RM8), Rosemary Grilled Lamb(RM12), Sirloin Steak(RM12), Seafood Platter(RM10) and Fish & Chips(RM9). You can also add-on appetizers such as Mushroom Cream Soup, Wedges, Garlic Bread which is RM2.50 each.


Left: Rosemary Grilled Lamb(RM12), served with fried rice and fries. The lamb was marinated and grilled with Rosemary. It’s so “well-marinated” that it tasted too flavourful(a bit too salty) until I couldn’t really taste the lamb. However, the lamb wasn’t hard, it’s very tender. Of course it’s not good but at least it’s way better than Westwood! The portion was not bad, it’s quite big with that kind of price, I’m given with two pieces of lambs, I was expect one piece only. Was pretty full after that.

Right: Sirloin Steak(RM12), served with fried rice and fries. They didn’t ask how well-done we wanted it to be and turned out they gave us well-done steak, a bit tough but not that tough till like cutting rubber, I could still cut them easily without much force. It’s also “well-marinated”. Again it’s way better than Westwood in terms of portions, look, taste and price!

The promotion isn’t that bad. At least we were fully fed with a fraction of price though the lamb and the beef weren’t up to the supposed standard which no-need-say-also-know-la, since not many places serve good western food in Kuching, good ones are expensive, not many people can afford to spend that kind of money including me. If I were to spend at those places, I would have to be extra careful in spending for the next 2-3 months and have to eat at home every single day also *LOL*. Even if I have the money, I won’t have anyone to go there with me because no one will want to go with me. I asked before, they would give me the look of ngaiti-you-kidding-me-they-are-so-expensive *SWEAT*.

Still it’s better than you-know-where.

Flood

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Flood

My first movie of 2008, Flood. Watched it at Star Cineplex yesterday. They had changed their ticketing system. I know… I know… I’m late in reporting this because I’m not a cinema goer. I only go to cinema one or 2 times a year or worst, never! I don’t go hu ha over movies.

Back to the movie. It’s an OK but not so OK(hahaha… basically neutral) movie for entertainment purpose and there were some goofs here and there(I didn’t realise because I’m not good in UK’s geography, just found out from the Internet) and the ending was quite abrupt.

Here’s the excerpt of the movie:

Timely yet terrifying, The Flood predicts the unthinkable. When a raging storm coincides with high seas it unleashes a colossal tidal surge, which travels mercilessly down England’s East Coast and into the Thames Estuary. Overwhelming the Barrier, torrents of water pour into the city. The lives of millions of Londoners are at stake. Top marine engineers and barrier experts Rob, his ex-wife Sam and his father Leonard Morrison, have only a few hours to save the city from total devastation.

If not because of what had happend on 2004 Boxing Day, I would be able to enjoy this kind of movie genre. HELL NO! Many times I had to hold back my tears thinking of what had happened few years back. At one point where the scene showing bodies floating around, I almost broke down but luckily I managed to hold my composure.

I shouldn’t have agree to watch this movie! I didn’t realise it’s this kind of story. I’m not a movie buff, I’m out of sync with the movie industry. When I was suggested with this movie, I didn’t think much at all and just agreed because all I’m thinking is to watch movie with the free tickets and I didn’t mind what type of movie to watch.

Anyway, I didn’t see any good review about it on the Internet.

Review It!
