Something Good

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Something Good

YES! I’m back to blog about it. First of all, I’m sure you notice that I’ve been blogging a lot these few days and after each post, there would be a commercial break. Sorry hahaah… 😛 I couldn’t resist the temptation of USD after being deprived of earning some USDs the other week. At least I do give you something rather than all paid posts right? It’s not that bad right? (-.-“) Feel a bit guilty hehehe… OK! Enough of that! Here’s something I want to share with you and be my witness(es) 😛 Because I’m afraid that I might change my mind later as you know how money crazy I am. *LOL*

First of all, this is NOT A PAID POST! Advertlets had credited RM50 to my account after writing a review for them. Finally! Here’s the proof!

Since I can’t take the money out yet until it reaches RM200 so I decided to donate the RM50. You got it right! DONATE IT! I hope I will not change my mind halfway typing this. 😛

I’m donating it to Yvonne Foong. Some of you might know her, some might not. I knew about her case since the last 2 years but I didn’t do anything to help. Now the chance is here! Josh, how to do it? Give my RM50 to her.

Who is she? Some of you might be wondering. Yvonne was only 16 years old when doctors diagnosed her with a rare genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis Type 2. Again… You must be wondering what is Neurofibromatosis Type 2, right? Click here to learn more. Due to this, she needs a lot of money for her treatment. If you want to know more about her, then click to read about her story. You cal also contact her at yvonnefmn(at)gmail(dot)com

As you can see from the above picture, these are the things available for sale in her website to raise fund for her medical treatment. The book, I’m Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell, is written by her. If you would like to help, you can buy them or you can just donate money to her. At first I planned to buy something from her but I don’t really need those things. I don’t buy just for the sake of buying, I don’t see there is any meaning in there.

Yvonne is a member of the Adverlets network, and also part of the Advertlets Philantrophy program which allows members within the network to sponsor their earnings to other deserving individuals. Through Adverlets, Yvonne Foong will be able to raise much needed funds for her medical expenses. So I was thinking, why don’t I give my first Adverlets earning to her? That would be better. I’m sure I can cover that RM50 with Advertlets soon.

I’m impress with the way she handles life, I don’t think I have this kind of strenght at all, I’m sure most of us don’t. Anyway, GANBATTE YVONNE!

Sarawak Museum

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Sarawak Museum

I can’t recall when was the last time I’m here. Besides, the museum still reamins the same after so long. Didn’t manage to visit DinoTrek so we went to the museum to get some cold air, it’s was so hot out there. No cameras and videos allow in there but with the invention of cameraphone, how is it possible to stop people from taking photos? Most people did it sneakily with their phone, hahaha… Me too but I think they knew about it because there are so many hidden cameras in the museum.

So… Here are some views of our museum taken with my bro’s phone 😛 Almost got caught I think… Coz just few seconds after I took a shoot at the petroleum section, the guard walked in just to scare us I guess. My act might be recorded in the video too hahaha… I’m not the only doing it anyway. I think they are worry about the flash of the camera that will spoilt the artifacts in there. Of course for security purpose too since there are many valuable artifacts in there.

Sarawak Musuem.

Right: Underwater section.

Hope you enjoy the brief tour. By the way, if you would like to visit the musuem for free, please donate to the museum to ensure free entrance is possible in time to come because due to the escalating maintenance cost, they might have to charge for entering next time if the donating part can’t work out.

Bak Kut Teh Again…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Bak Kut Teh Again…

Last Friday was Good Friday. Dad said that he wanted to eat some pork leg rice for lunch at one of the coffeeshops at Jalan Song Thian Cheok(hope I got the spelling correct hahahaha…). This one is the same row as Junction Cafe or near the MAS office. Quite an old shop and they have been in business for decades.

Left: The soups(don’t-know-what-soup[I only know it’s very salty], curry[tasteless]) and chili for the pork rice.

Right: Rice for bak kut teh and pork rice.


Left: This is the pork that I mentioned just now. This is portion for two. Not so bad.

Right: Bak kut teh for one person. If you order for two person, you will get two claypots, each person will have one claypot. The bak kut teh was so salty. I couldn’t taste any herbs in there but salt.

The total bill for 4 was RM22 with two drinks(ice lemon tea and canned drink). Quite cheap don’t you think? However, the bak kut teh *shake head*

DinoTrek

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on DinoTrek

After PIKOM, my dad suggested that we go visit DinoTrek at Tun Abdul Razak Hall, just opposite Sarawak Musuem.

GAH! We thought we could enter for free. Who knows? When we reached there, we saw the “Tickets Sold Out” notice everywhere outside the hall. Need to buy tickets one!!! Many parents were caught with surprise too. I don’t think I came across anything mention about the need to buy tickets in the media! Summore it’s by Petronas. We should be given free entrance for it! Not charging us!

Though the tickets are not that expensive for us(adult-RM5, children[3-17]-RM3) but I don’t think I want to pay that kind of money to go in to see some robots moving their hands and legs and some recorded audio to create the sound. So lame. I don’t think it’s worth to go in at all. You just see my photo, I don’t think you will think it’s worth it at all. Only some cardboard walls surrounded the “dinasours”.

Many children wanted to go in but tickets were sold out. Most parents brought their children there becuase they thought it’s free entrance. Any sane parents will not want pay for that kind of money to go in to see some lame robots! What to do? Children… Once they want something, they will make sure that they have it or else they will scream or cry on top of their lungs. As for the parents, they would be force to buy the tickets even though they didn’t wan to. Even though the tickets were sold out, they still need to find other time to go. They are very unwilling but they still have to squeeze their balls to buy the tickets because there is no way for them to disappoint their children.

Imagine this… You had been telling your children to do well or behave and you will bring them to see dinasours. All these while you thought that it’s free. Then when you reached there and found out that you have to buy tickets to go in knowing deep down that those are just some lame robots and lame audios to “cheat” the kids. Your children has been waiting for the moment, seeing their adorable faces, how can you have the heart to disappoint them? So, you can only tell them the tickets are sold out, you will have to find other day to go and you have to keep the promise. How can you disappoint your little angels right? So to compensate your angels for not being able show them the promised dinasours, you have to buy some DinoTrek merchandise on sale so that they will not be sad.

OK.. Tell me people! Do you know that they are charging for the entrance? As far as I know, I heard nothing or see or read anything about the need to pay to go in. Anyone? That’s why people always said that children’s money is always the best to earn. See how true is this?

Oh I’m so hungry… Finally food! Free food! Hehehe…

The Island Of Food!


The appetizers.


The main courses with the hungry people. There were fried rice, bee hoon, butter prawn, mix veggies, chicken wings etc. All Singaporean style.


Left: Fruit platters. Very nice, very colourful but I didn’t have the chance too eat it hahaha… I was too indulged in the appetizers and main course.
Right: For the album.

Opsss.. Forgot to edit the pictures of the vergetable+fruit drinks and the mushroom soup.

The mushroom soup is so thick and rich. You can taste the cheese and milk in there, very sinful dish. It took me a while to figure out what kind of soup was that. It’s so different from other places. You can have this if you opt for the western menu.

The vegetable+fruit juice is green in colour. I’m not sure how’s the taste because they didn’t serve it to me.

During the whole time there, I don’t think they serve any carbonated drinks too us. They were all fresh juices or maybe syrup except the vegetable+fruit juice but those drinks didn’t taste like syrup to me. *Scratch head* No idea.

Hmmmm… Grand opening soon… I wonder will have the chance to go again or not? I’m sure the food will be different by then 😛
