New Look of McD

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on New Look of McD

I didn’t even know that McD next to Tun Jugah was close for renovation. I only knew about it after my classmates mentioned about it. That was like already closed for quite long already then I knew that it’s closed for renovation. See how outdated am I? ;p

Finally it’s re-open for business sometimes ago. Last time there was red signboard out there at the building, now no more red signboard but a big yellow “M” and brown is the main colour.

Dad decided to go there for dinner, so we went.

Long queue, only two counters -.-” The counter area was so small -.-


The second level.

The children play area was so small. It’s taken up by area for smokers. They were catering more places for smokers. Last time was only down stair, outside the entrance, now up stair also got. It’s divided by glass wall with a door leading to the smoking area and there were fans there.

Hmmm… Nowadays people are trying to stop people or discourage people to smoke yet they are doing the opposite now. Aih…

Anyway, the only thing I like about McD is the apple pie and fries, nothing else. It’s pretty expensive to dine there with family compare to KFC. I still prefer KFC’s chicken and its meal sets. I’m never a fan of their burgers, be it McD or KFC, I prefer roadside burgers ;p

Screwed My Second Interview

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on Screwed My Second Interview

Remember I mentioned about being shortlisted for tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt?

So today is the day… I woke up, got myself prepared, reminded myself on what to say during the interview, reached there, got a script, tried to memorize it, chit chatted with the other shortlisted contestants while waiting for my turn and I turned out to be the second one to go in coz I’m the second person to reach there.


The script was so short, easy and simple, it’s a piece of cake! I used to memorize stuff longer than this.

Talking in front of the camera was nothing to me. For those that follow my blog long enough will know that I did quite a number of video projects with my friends few years back, even did the filming in public places with tonnes of complete strangers looking at me, you can find the videos in my blog, related to Borneo Highlands and Kuching Festival. Links are available in the comment section.

Today, there were only a handful yet I was so nervous -.-”

Talking in public was fine with me, as long that I’m well-prepared but…

I screwed up big time in this second interview. -.-” I forgot my lines. I requested to redo 3 times or so(if I’m not mistaken). In fact, I could just use my own words but some how my mind was blank… BLANK! Ish… Ish… Ish… The judges were kind enough to let me refer to my script. It wasn’t very smooth too, I was too nervous! At least I managed to complete the key points. However, the last sentence that I made up myself was a bit odd due the the word usage because I suddenly couldn’t think of the appropriate word or sentence structure that I should use. Told you… I was so blank.

Then, I’m asked to do it in Mandarin. I thought I can do it, I asked the judges to give me time to phrase my words but… ARG! I forgot my Mandarin. YEA! What the heck, right? I used to do Mandarin speaking videos last time, there were no script at all, well… Not in grammatically correct Mandarin but still I could get the message across.

Today, I could only manage to come out with 1st sentence and got myself stuck in the second sentence onwards. I even requested to redo it twice but not successful. I forgot all those terms in Mandarin.

Good thing they didn’t ask me to do in our national language, I would end up with similar situation ;p Furthermore, I’m extremely rusty with it.

How silly I was?

I even prepared myself with what I want to tell the judges but forgot most of them that time. Luckily one of the judges reminded me of one of the thing I want to bring up but still… Didn’t manage to get all the points across to them.

One of them asked me whether I’m nervous or not, I admitted it. *LOL* Hell yeah! I was so super duper nervous else why I ended up like that!?!?

I shouldn’t be like that! Why am I so nervous and tensed? All these are nothing compare to what I had done before. Maybe it’s because this is a contest whereby people will be judging me so I was quite self-conscious until I forgot everything.

Oh well… What’s done is done, can’t blame anyone but myself. Say so much also no use hahaha… We’ll see if I still manage to be one of the top 16. Chances are very slim but at least I had fun and this is one interesting experience.

If I’m not mistaken, I’m the oldest there ;p

To my supporters, sorry to disappoint you people. Thanks for the supports *muaks*

SCR Xpress @ tHe Spring

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on SCR Xpress @ tHe Spring

Had our dinner at SCR Xpress @ tHe Spring few weeks ago. The place was so packed and it’s quite narrow too. Business seemed to be very good.


This is the chicken rice set that came with a glass of blackcurrant juice. They forgot our blackcurrant juice, reminded them so many times yet only came to us when we finished everything. The service was not efficient. It could be due to too many customers but how could this happen when all the customers that arrived later than us got all their drinks but not us. Even those that just sat down and ordered also got their drinks. I really don’t understand.

Besides chicken rice, there were also other type of food too.

Left: Mushroom & Cheese Fettuccine, so salty.

Right: Black Pepper Ramen, sweet only… Not much of black pepper taste.

Sadly, we didn’t have any good experiences with SCR Xpress that time. My dad said he is not going back anymore. I personally won’t go back too. I rather eat at the food court.

Now I understand why many people complain about it.

100 Yen

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on 100 Yen

100 Yen is located at RH Plaza. They’re selling things from Japan for 100 yen unless specified. Went over to have a look few months back ;p Bought some of the foodstuffs.



Bought this instant yogurt mix, peach flavour(RM6.90).

All you need to do is add 150ml of milk to the content of the package, stir, and then place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. I don’t remember the time. As simple as that. Quite nice. I’m thinking of buying blueberry flavour next time.

The instructions are in Japanese, as long that you know how to read Chinese character, then you won’t have problem understanding what the instructions are. There’s no English instructions.

I also bought pancake mix, I don’t remember the price, either RM5.90 or RM6.90


All you need to do is add milk and an egg. Mixing took quite a bit of time. I used Ideal milk rather than the normal milk coz wanted to try whether it will affect the taste or not. I don’t remember how much milk it required though.

The end result… The pancake was a bit dry inside, definitely not overcooked, I think it’s the milk that I used.

Anyway, if you would like to get some Japanese products, you can go there to have a look but don’t expect too much from it.
