Sarawak Inter-Cultural Moon Cake Festival 2010

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Sarawak Inter-Cultural Moon Cake Festival 2010

The annual Sarawak Inter-Cultural Moon Cake Festival 2010 is here. It started on 17th September. As usual, it’s held at Carpenter Street.

It will end on 22nd September, it’s quite short don’t you think? I remember last time it lasted at least a week. The lanterns showcased at the temple at the main road.


Left: Chinese musical instrument performance at the smaller temple along the street.

Right: Heading to the Harmony Arch.


Left: Mock Malay wedding.

Right: A man in traditional costume playing the sape.


The stage is located at the old Court House. Didn’t walk till there, took the photo from afar. Notice the stage backdrop? ;p Can you see anything not right?


Something interesting… Ice cream + fish cracker, how do you think the taste is going to taste like? Bought one, RM2 per cone. Hmm… Very creative. Taste wise, salty and sweet, wasn’t that bad but it’s just weird to pair these two together.

If you haven’t go to Sarawak Inter-Cultural Moon Cake Festival 2010, you have to go as soon as you can as it will end on 22nd September.

King-to Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on King-to Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa

I’m sure many of you are familiar with King-to Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa. Believe it or not, this is the first time I’m having it.

I lost my voice on Friday for don’t know what reason. Maybe used too much of my voice when dealing with the group of almost 20 4 years old. It’s worst than singing 6 hours of karaoke *LOL* My mentor asked me to have this else it might get worst. Scary… I quickly went to buy one small bottle.

It does help. My voice still isn’t in very good condition but much better than yesterday, can’t talk too loud or too much. My IELTS speaking test will be next Friday, hopefully it will be OK by then. So worry that I might lose my voice again as I will start to teach some subjects next Wednesday -.-“

Not Feeling Well

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Not Feeling Well

Body aching, eyes heavy, clumsy, and lightheaded.

Luckily it’s public holiday tomorrow. Not feeling well since Monday. It’s only the 3rd day, how to hang in there until November? I’ve been getting less than 7 hours sleep everyday. There’s no public holiday anymore too.

Had Panadol just now. Guess I’ll end the night early today. Getting sick is a big No-No because I need to prepare for next week’s ILETS! There’ll also be a wedding dinner to attend next week!

OK… Off to have my rest.

Lok-Lok at Ban Hock Road

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Lok-Lok at Ban Hock Road

First went to Lok-Lok at Bank Hock Road was in 2008. Last Saturday, we made an impromptu decision to go there for dinner.

Left: Nasi lemak, not up to our expectations.

Right: The herbal tea. A popular drink there. If not mistaken, it’s luo han guo.


Only had 5 sticks as we didn’t know how much each stick was, didn’t dare to order too many. Just tried out some.

Overall damage that night was RM19. Hmm… It’s not cheap dining here I think. One or two sticks of lok-lok is fine but when you have more it will cost a bomb! Furthermore, it’s not filling to have few sticks of lok-lok.
