Views From Across the River

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Views From Across the River

Phew… Finally got my line back. So tired tinkering with the modem settings and cables.

2 weeks ago, I went to across the river with my sister and my friend for a photo shoot session. The local called it “across the river” also known as Petra Jaya. It’s really across the river ;p

All the time, I’m at the other end. I seldom go to Petra Jaya and I’ll definitely lost my way there hahaha… You can drive there or by a “tambang” boat from Kuching Waterfront. I’ve never go by “tambang” boat, scary hehehe…


The river cruise. Highly recommended by me for those who want to see Kuching from another perspective. You’ll get to see two sides of the river. The buildings at the back are Grand Margherita Hotel, Somerset Gateway, Tun Jugah, Sarawak Plaza and so on.


The contrast… One side of the river has many modern buildings and this side with many houses.


The food court located just next to the river.


The view of Kuching Waterfront, Hilton, Pullman, Riverbank Suite and more. This is just a portion of the view from across the river of Kuching Waterfront.

That’s Kuching for you from across the river from me 😉

Happy Chap Goh Mei 2011

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Happy Chap Goh Mei 2011

Happy Chap Goh Mei! This marks the last day of CNY. Time is flying so fast! February is almost over in no time. The fireworks tonight is much much much more happening than CNY’s eve and any other days of CNY. I guess it’s the clear weather and also to clear stock.

On this day, I went to cut my hair. It’s been quite a long time not cutting my hair this short ;p

The last time I cut my hair was about 6 months ago but it seemed like still the same. Now, cut it again. It’ll be shorter after my next hair wash, this is just salon effect.

Usually I only cut my hair once a year. I have to cut this short because I won’t be cutting it until June 2012 *LOL* By then, my hair should be over my waist.

Enjoy the last day of CNY!

Singapore Trip 29/12/2010-1/1/2011 – Part 12

Finally! The end of my Singapore trip post. We went straight to the airport after checking out because the flight was around noon.


Had brunch at Burger King in Changi Airport. As usual, ordered the burger set but I don’t remember what we had ordered.


We also ordered Mexican Drumlets and Taro Turnover. The former was slightly spicy and a bit salty but not so bad. The later wasn’t bad too, nice!


There you go… I was surprised, my first time saw all-male crews on board. Usually it’s a mixture of males and females or all-female crews.

Home we went… Love the view of the mountain.

The end.

Singapore Trip 29/12/2010-1/1/2011 – Part 11

Continue from previous post about food we had on our last night in Singapore.

Before heading back to the hotel, we stopped by MOS Burger to try out one of the burgers.


Left: Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream (SGD2.75, this price was only valid with ordering of set). Ordered matcha flavour. Taste, it tasted as it should.

Right: Green Salad (SGD2.20).


Grilled Chicken Burger with Orange-Pepper Sauce (SGD3.35). Saw the advert on TV a lot. Finally got the chance to try it. Aiks… The size was so mini. Felt cheated by the advertisement ;p For this burger, the taste wasn’t up to my expectation. It’s a let down for me.


After resting in the hotel room and eating those food we had bought on the way back, we went out again. This time to the food court at Bugis Junction, Food Junction. The place was always packed. Went there few times(2 years ago no place to sit too, then first day in Singapore also no place to sit too) but could not find a place. Walked few rounds and finally found a place.

Ordered Buddha Jumps over the Wall, don’t remember the price. According to my dad, the taste was totally different compared to the time he was there. Only about 2 weeks later, the taste changed -.-” The one we had that night tasted like there’s salted fish in the soup.


After that, we stopped by Toast @ Work for chui kueh. Not the kind that we like especially the toppings but the kueh itself wasn’t that bad.

Last time, Kuching used to have very good one which could be found at Sunday Market but the lady no longer doing the business and her daughter could not master her skill, it’s gone totally. So there’s no more decent chui kueh anymore. Nowadays, mostly it’s not watery and silky enough. The toppings also could make or break this kueh.


Next, we went around window shopping in Bugis Junction. Before heading back to the hotel, we bought a cup of gelato (SGD4.50) at Gelateria Venezia. The yellow one was butterscotch(buttery sweet) and the pink one was raspberry(sourish). These two were not a good combination, made wrong decision *LOL* Could not taste both of them properly because of the combination.

That’s all for our day 3. Welcoming 2011 in the hotel room packing, watching TV and online. My parents and bro were asleep. I was the only one stayed up but called it a night before 12.30am because had to wake up early to go to the airport.
