What I’ve Been Up To?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on What I’ve Been Up To?

I’m sure many people are wondering what I’m up to these days, there seemed to be nothing interesting to blog from me. Well… You want to know? I don’t care if you don’t want to know coz I will still tell you anyway!

I’ve been home bound for quite a while. Reasons are:
I’m lazy because I’m tired mentally and emotionally which indirectly lead to feeling physically tired.
I don’t know what I should do because I don’t know if I do it, I will get into trouble or not, I have to protect myself from getting hurt over and over again.
I’m not in the mood to go out at all because I don’t feel like meeting people when I’m feeling lousy.
I stay at home to avoid spending money because when I’m not in good mood, I will spend without thinking sigh… Worst I’m running low on money now.
I just find no reason to go out.

There’s nothing that interests me at all. The only time I go out will be doing some errands and go to classes, that’s all. Exam is coming soon, hopefully can do well.

This is how boring I can be but I don’t feel boring at all ;p How nice to be able to sit there and do nothing, it’s a luxury, not many people can afford it.

Anyway, do you need a blogger to help promote your business/product or you need to get people to help maintain your blog because you are too busy(as if those popular bloggers will read my blog ;p)? I’m available for you, so long that you pay me hahaha… Damn… I’m very money face now, what to do? Running low on money and I need money for my Singapore trip next month.

Milo CrispyEnergy! Wafer

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Milo CrispyEnergy! Wafer


Mom bought Milo CrispyEnergy! Wafer the other day. One pack consists of 24 bars. Was expecting wider bar but turned out to be so slim ;p Anyway, I quite like chocolate product from Milo. The chocolate tastes different from the usual chocolate because of the Milo but I don’t quite like to drink Milo unless the imported one.


Open it up, ahem… Are you as dirty minded as me? If you don’t know what I mean, then ignore what I asked *LOL*

Ok… Get back to the main point, I LOVE it! I don’t know how to describe, some sort of kit-kat feel but it tasted different from kit-kat for sure. All I can say is that, it’s addictive!

The pack costs RM9+, hmm… Expensive or not? Hmm… What’s your say? I’m not sure whether this is consider expensive or not. Each bar is 15gm, there are 24 bars, one bar is almost 40 cents.

Anyway, I love it! Great for snacking. I didn’t expect my dad likes it too, his taste buds are so hard to please yet this is acceptable to him.

New Category: SS Exclusive

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on New Category: SS Exclusive

Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Sweet Surrender is presenting to you with this new category called SS Exclusive.

What is this all about?

Some of you know that I already opened up a blog shop yesterday, I posted it in facebook, it’s called Irene Sells. This is where I sell my things that I don’t need because sometimes I just tend to spend a bit too much or buy something that is not suitable for me. Rather than letting them laying around at home and become rubbish, why don’t I sell them to whoever that needs them.

I will list everything that I’m selling in Irene Sells but you won’t be seeing everything listed there in SS Exclusive.

SS Exclusive is only for some exclusive and higher end products that come all the way from UK or outside of Malaysia. You won’t be able to get it in Malaysia and the price is so much lower than the market price too. Furthermore they are NOT imitation! Majority will be brand new.

I will have one posted soon. However, you can see it first in Irene Sells.

If in case there are two people wanting the same thing here and in Irene Sells, I will sell it to the one who let me know earlier based on the commenting time stamp or my e-mail time stamp. First come first serve to be fair. Well… Unless you want to offer a higher price for it then I might sell it to you ;p

All the must-knows, postage and handling condition are the same as Irene Sells, please refer over there.

Gone… All Gone… Sigh…

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Gone… All Gone… Sigh…


For those of you that had left Kuching for too long, I’m sure you will be shocked to see this.

By the way, do you see the HUGE building with pointed roof in the photo? That’s the new parliament DUN (BUAHAHA :p Sorry… Thanks for the correction, I didn’t realize that I actually type the wrong name).

Anyway, passed by Gambier Street today. These scenes greeted me, sigh… So sad… All the historical buildings are now gone to make way for the so called development, YUCK!

Those buildings should be preserved, they can be converted into some very high class places and tourist spots with the architecture and historical values. Sadly, some people just don’t get it and demolish everything for the sake of development. YUCK!

Those demolished buildings could be converted into a museum or craft bazaar or dining place or lodging place or some offices related to tourism industry and so on since it’s located at the city centre. All they need to do is clean up the place, restore them and so on. The buildings are very tough and strong, it’s not a hazard to safety at all. I tell you, even tougher than the new buildings and houses that are built nowadays.

No matter what was done previously by many people has no impact at all to stop the so called development. Lots of campaigns and awareness were made but sigh… Some people just don’t care, all they care is money filling their pocket.

Sigh… So sad. when I saw it, my eyes were filled with tears. Too bad I don’t have the photos of previous Gambier Street to show you. The old Gambier Street is gone forever. An esplanade will replace it. Sigh…

Those precious buildings that once made Kuching very unique are now gone. Not only that, those buildings are part of our(including our parents’ and grandparents’) childhood and memories.

One word, sigh…

I Do Not Own the Place!

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on I Do Not Own the Place!

I’m sure many of you bloggers out there might have experience something like this:

You blog about something, be it eatery or bank or anywhere that you visited. Then from time you time, you will get people leave comment on your post as if you own the place.

Ever encounter this?

I encounter it A LOT! With so many blogs summore, it is not something new. It amuses me but sometimes if my mood isn’t good, it annoys the hell out of me.

People can leave comment such as:
“I want to make reservation at your restaurant for 2 people on this day”
If I’m in very good mood, I will take all the trouble to contact the person back as in sending this person a personal e-mail telling him/her that I’m not related to the restaurant/eatery and give them the real contact number of the place. If I’m in very bad mood, I will not bother at all and reply the comment with “I don’t own this place, sorry” *LOL*

“Can your bank approve the loan for me, my income is like this, like this, blah blah… Here’s my phone number 123456 please contact me a.s.a.p”
Usually this kind I will not care, I will just remove the phone number, approve the comment and not responding to it. If I’m in super duper good mood, I will respond in the comment to ask them to contact the nearest branch.

Nowadays it got more and more especially from Sarawakian.net as my phone number is on the blog and there’s banner there too(remove it already ;p), I got many calls! At least one call a week related to some eateries posted in there.

They called to ask about franchising of this and that, call to make reservation(YES! Make reservation with me!! *sweat*), call for sponsorship of food for event and call to ask about “my” eateries.

Goodness gracious -.-” I will usually tell them I’m not related to any eatery, I’m just a blogger blogging about places that I’ve been to. Sometimes I’m kind enough to give them contact details if I have them on hand else I will just tell them if you don’t see any contact details of the place in the post, it means I got no idea how to contact them also, that time I only went, dined, and left without any name card or detail.

There’s one funny one that I want to share with you. One afternoon, someone from a local radio station called me, talking to me about some charity event and so on and lastly ask me whether I can supply chicken rice to them or not! I was so blurred and shocked, I thought they want to invite me to join their charity event as a blogger and I double check with her again on the chicken rice part and asked her where she got my number. She told me her colleague gave it to her, then I told her I don’t sell chicken rice, her colleague might have got my number from sarawakian.net. I’m only blogging about the place. She was shocked. Then asked me whether I know the shop owner or not *LOL* I told her I have no idea at all. Then we had a good laugh over the phone and she said, “how come he gave me a blogger’s number instead of the shop owner’s number?!?!”. It was hillarious!

Can you see how strong the impact of blogging is? Bloggers are giving free publicity to businesses now! Think of it in other way, we should be compensated for the publicity! That’s why some bloggers change their blogging direction to avoid doing publicity for free but people like me, how? These are the things that brings me traffic and popularity.

Ok la… Don’t puke, I may not be that popular but many people know me because of my blogs, so how? I sure cannot compete with Kenny Sia but I do have my fair share of fame, a bit la ;p. Not that I crave for popularity, I don’t think I can handle too much fame.

Want to blog yet don’t want to give free publicity and yet those topics make up the contents of my blogs. There’s always 2 sides of the coin to look at. Such dilemma, how!?!? You say how le?
