Red Red Sun

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Red Red Sun


This view is no stranger to anyone. Right? I don’t mean the place, I mean the sun ;p taken last Sunday when I was on the way to Kuching Festival with my parents.

Everyday we are greeted by this red red sun because of the haze. I think it’s quite bad these days based on my own observation. Toward midnight and at dawn, the haze smell is really strong. Sometimes I would be woken up by the smell. Horrible smell.

However, I quite like the colour of the sun because you only see this kind of colour when we are under haze attack or in other words, not always ;p but I don’t like the haze. So contradicting.

Anyway, exam this weekend. No semester break this semester. Does it make any difference to me at all? No difference hahaha…

Have a great hazy weekend!

Kuching Festival 2009 – Part 2

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Kuching Festival 2009 – Part 2

I heard that Kuching Festival Food and Trade Fair will end on 15th August and it’s confirmed by somebody but I still don’t really believe it ;p. Supposed to be on 23rd August. Means it will end in less than 10 days -.-” So short! Was told that it’s shortened because of the fasting month. I don’t understand, what it got to do with the fasting month? It should maintain open until the initial end date. It will be a great place for people to break their fast. Maybe it’s to avoid giving competition to the Ramadhan bazaars around Kuching? However, I do notice that majority of the visitors to Kuching Festival are non-Muslims.

Anyway, some of the food I had from Kuching Festival, my parents went there almost every alternate day *LOL* This year my sis will not be able to visit the food fair, thought she still can make it after we got back from Singapore but too bad… It will end early, she will miss it for the first time of her life *LOL*


Left: O Jien, usually we got the wet type at Kuching Festival, this is the first time we bought the crispy type. I notice that there are quite a number of O Jien stalls this year.

Right: Bought this at the stall selling belacan bee hoon. My dad’s favourite. Cuttlefish with chili sauce. The chili sauce is not your average chili sauce of course. It’s the chili sauce that will make or break this dish.


Left: Lim Kee’s sausage(RM2/stick). I prefer this stall than the other stall. We never miss buying this every single time we are there.

Right: Some Chinese pastry that can be found at the stall not far from SugarBun’s stall. Sesame ball and bull’s horn ;p I don’t know the real names of these hehehe…

Found another cute sticker hehehe… Guess what? I stick it to my camera this time! Hehehe… My camera has two hearts now.

First time was my phone. Now it’s my camera. Next might be my laptop hehehe… We’ll see.

It seems like I’m starting to stick stickers on my belongings. Who knows later I stick a sticker on my boyfriend *LOL* Just a joke ;p

Oh… Do you notice something on the sticker? Looks familiar? Instead of Dove, there’s Duve! Can you spot it?

Garnier Aqua Defense Essence

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Garnier Aqua Defense Essence

I’m running out of moisturiser and don’t have money to splurge on Clinique Dramatically Difference Gel so I had to make do with cheaper brands. After doing some research, I decided to go for Garnier Aqua Defense Essence, it’s only RM19+ for 50ml.

This is new product range from Garnier.

With the hazy, hot and humid weather now, it helps cool me down a bit *LOL* The gel is so cooling, I love the cooling sensation after applying it. When I place my palm on my face after applying it, I can feel the coolness on my palm. It is so easy to spread on the face and absorb very quickly. I just can’t wait for my next face wash so that I can apply it to my face. I like the scent too, very refreshing green apple scent.

Garnier Aqua Defense contains fruit water and Vitamin E. These two ingredients protect and defend the skin from external aggressions and free radicals. That’s what it stated on the box ;p

The spoke person for range of product is Crystal Liu Yi Fei, a Chinese actress. For your information, Garnier Aqua Defense Essence made in China.

If you have very dry skin, you can go for the gel cream. Garnier Aqua Defense Essence is suitable for oily skin especially my t-zone. As for my cheek, I just apply more on them ;p My face feels so soft and hydrated after using it but my t-zone oiliness problem still remain the same.

The only thing I don’t like is the jar, very heavy jar and you know how easy we can contaminate the whole jar when we dip our finger in to get the gel? That’s the down side of it.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

Dinner @ Double Woodhouse Kopitiam

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Dinner @ Double Woodhouse Kopitiam

So… Went to Double Woodhouse Kopitian again. This time for dinner.


Kopi O(RM1.50), Kopi C Peng(RM3), Flower Milk Tea(RM3.50).

The Flower Milk Tea is very refreshing and unique. I quite like it, it’s quite sweet but after the ice melted, the sweetness is just right. If I’m not mistaken the flower the name refer to should be chrysanthemum.

Let’s see what we had:

Left: Fried Wanton(RM5), 10 pieces, pretty salty.

Right: Steamed Sio Bee(RM0.60 each, we had 5), kinda tasteless to me but it was well received by my friends.


Left: Chicken Chop(RM9.50), I love the potato. The sauce was mushroom sauce, it was salty at the beginning but after few mouths, it’s not salty anymore hmmm… I might have eaten the part with lump of salt ;p.

Right: Tomato Kueh Tiaw(RM4.50), it was OK. That’s what my friend said.


Left: Fried Bihun(RM4.50), it wasn’t salty at the beginning but the more my friend ate, the more salty it got.

Right: We played this while waiting for our food *LOL* After dinner, we played chess and somebody got his fair share of beginner’s luck hehehe…

I would say coming here for a drink is not so bad. Food is reasonably priced but just like many other feedback that I heard, the food is salty. As if their salt is free! *LOL* They should cut down on the salt.
