TJ Delight

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on TJ Delight

TJ Delight is located at Tabuan Plaza. Ended up here after we found out that My Chicken Restaurant was packed.

Just your typical kopitiam.


Left: Black Pepper Pork Noodle in Hot Plate (don’t remember the price), was expecting the colour to be darker, not this pale. It’s quite spicy, the more you eat, the more spicy it gets.

Right: Tomato noodle (don’t remember the price too ;p). At least not so bad compare to some other places.


Left: Hong Kong Style Cha Kueh (RM4), it was quite tasty when it’s still hot but when it was cold, suddenly it became tasteless hahaha… No idea why.

Right: Clay Pot Noodle (RM4), tasted like Cantonese Noodle (Kong Hu Char in Hokkien) but without the egg. I don’t think there’s egg in there, so forgetful these days.

Overall the foods were OK. Oh, you can find pork satay there.

SOI!

I AM SO ANGRY!! GRRR!

Suddenly, a blue vertical line appears on the left of my laptop screen. OH NO!!!! I had this problem last time with my first laptop and got the screen replaced FOC because it was only 2 days after the day of purchase. This time, my Dell XPS M1530 which is only 2 years+ is having this problem! DIE! I did some research online and found out that many people ended up with more lines within 3 months after the first line appeared! I also read that some had their screen unusable after 2 weeks! The screen completely died!

OH NO! !@#$%^&* DAMN! I’m so so so so piss! Why happen now?!?! My extended warranty had just ended in July! Now is the time I need the laptop to do my works(so many projects going on now) and also my studies! 100% rely on this laptop! I don’t have any money to spare to get a new one! What’s more this one cost me RM4199! Freaking 4000 Ringgit WEI and only last less than two years! Why it didn’t happen earlier when my warranty was still valid?!?! BLARDY HELL!

What should I do now? Do you know anyone that can fix it or how much to fix it? I did find out that it might cost more than RM500 to get it fixed but I can’t part with it even a day! Temporary fix, I can use an external screen but this is impossible for long term. I really want to cry already.

Sigh… Make me no mood only! I have enough to worry about these days and I don’t need this to add to my worries. Great! Why all the bad things come in one go. If I strike the jackpot, I will not be so worry about this problem because I can just easily get a new one unlike now. As if I buy lottery, never buy one and not intend to buy any.

Told you I’m jinxed, I always have problem with electronic gadgets. That explains why I don’t go crazy or bother about the latest gadgets, I even lost track of what’s hot and not in this hardware industry. All I hope now is that it will not go worst and stay at this one line for another year at least.

My Chicken Restaurant @ Tabuan Plaza

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on My Chicken Restaurant @ Tabuan Plaza

I don’t understand why people name their eateries with such weird and mind provoking name, I’m sure the Chinese will know what I mean, even the local non-Chinese should know too *LOL* There’s “The Chicken Shop” and “The Duck Shop” in Kuching!

Anyway, you heard of My Chicken Restaurant? The first branch is the one at 10th Mile, the one at Tabuan Plaza is the second branch. As expected, the place was packed during the 1st two days of opening at Tabuan Plaza.

The queue was the same at 7pm and 9.30pm, very long queue some more for both counters. My parents wanted to try it out so we went there for dinner on 3rd of September but ended up buying it back home for supper *LOL*. We had our dinner at another eatery at the area. My Chicken Restaurant was so empty during the day, we didn’t expect the place to be so packed at night. I guess because it’s new, it’s Friday night, and it’s the last day of buy 1 set meal, get another set meal for free promotion.

The set meal, we bought one and got another one for free. Each box consisted of a piece of chicken, a container of coleslaw, a packet of fries, a bun, and a cup of soft drink.

All I can say is do not expect the chicken to taste like KFC, McD, or Sugarbun. It’s totally different. The more I ate, the saltier it got but I’m OK with salty food. It might be a bit too salty for some people. The coleslaw tasted as it supposed to be. As for the fries, it was somehow tasteless, not up to my expectations.

Did you join the craze? My dad and bro queued up for almost an hour hahaha… Can you imagine that?

Happy 28th Birthday to Me

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on Happy 28th Birthday to Me

Time flies… I’m turning 28 this year, going to hit 30 in no time! However, I don’t feel like I’m 28, instead I’m only 18 hahaha…

At this age, many of my friends are either engaged, married, have children, climbing up the corporate ladder, buying properties, and so on. Everyone is moving to the next phase of life. One of my friends gave birth to her first child yesterday, just few hours shy away from sharing the same birth date as mine πŸ˜‰

Me? None of the mentioned. I’m still trying to figure out where I belong to, where I want to end up in life. As many of you know, I have a plan for next year, most know what it’s all about and I’m sure by reading some of my posts you will roughly know too. It will be a turning point for me, trying to discover my strengths and weaknesses by getting out of my comfort zone and trying to figure out where my life should lead me to. I believe there is something out there, something hidden inside of me that is not discovered, I need to find it, that’s why I’m not settling down and there’s no sign of me settling down too, not until I found what I want or what I’m supposed to do. It’s a huge step, I’m going to explore a whole new environment, a whole new life awaiting me. Will I end up with it after the period of time ended or come back to my comfort zone? We will have to see by then.

Remember my IELTS exam? I can’t laugh sigh… I got a phone call yesterday telling me that I have to resit. I thought of changing plan but apparently after doing some research, I have no other option but go back to the initial plan. Sigh… So… I will be resitting IELTS this coming 25th September hopefully will nail it this time. All component 7!!

I’m very worry about writing because the topics are fixed, speaking part I’m quite worry too because I tend to become disoriented if I got too excited+nervous and I would forget about my grammar, run out of vocabulary and “lies”(ideas) just like what happened that time *gulp* Seriously need to overcome this problem. In fact I’m also worry about the listening part, I was lucky the first time, not sure will I be lucky this time around to score almost a perfect 9.

I guess my main problem was being too nervous that day, I hope this time around I will not be so nervous anymore because I’ve been there once and I know what to expect. That’s one expensive “tuition fee”. Have to part with another RM550!! Not cheap! Total will be RM1100, this amount is enough for me to travel to several places or about 1 month rental for next year πŸ™ What I’m afraid now is if I still do not get at least 7 for each of the component, I’m seriously in deep shit.

I have more or less 20 days to prepare but after subtracting those days that I will be packed, I have an average of less than a week to prepare πŸ™ Then again, I now have problem with how to prepare for the resit. I’m so lost, I have no idea where to start, I’ve exhausted everything I could find and do that time. Am I going to do the preparation the same way? I really don’t know…

Anyway, that’s all for today. Have a great weekend!

Thorntons Dark Chocolate with Ginger

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Thorntons Dark Chocolate with Ginger

Dark chocolate with ginger, weird combination don’t you think so? Very weird indeed.

The dark chocolate wasn’t that bitter, maybe because it contained 61% of Togo cocoa beans. There were real pieces of ginger in there. Real spicy ginger pieces.

It’s quite weird but once you got used to the taste, it’s not that bad after all, still a bit odd to have such combination. If you want me to buy it the again, I don’t think I’ll buy it again but I don’t mind having it again.
