Tabuan Jaya Chinese New Year Bazaar

February 11, 2007February 11, 2007 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Hehehe… Notice it or not? After 5 posts and still no sponsored post yet. 😛

If I’m not mistaken, today is the opening ceremony of Tabuan Jaya Chinese New Year Bazaar because when we had dinner at KFC, those “big people” went to KFC to have their refreshments at the second floor, the whole of second floor was reserved. At first I thought it’s the opening ceremony of the newly renovated KFC hahaha… The lion dance troop was following too but the lion dance was over, I thought I can take photos of lion dance as I had never taken any before and never blog about it too. Always missed the chance. Hmm.. I think I must go hunt for lion dance this CNY hehehe…

After our dinner, we walked around the bazaar and it’s was almost deserted. I was expecting heaps of people shopping there but see this…

I heard that it’s quite quiet at Padungan too. Business isn’t that good today.

Padungan Chinese New Year Bazaar

February 10, 2007August 26, 2010 sweet surrender 12 Comments

Lately I’m busy. Busy with THIS! YES! THIS! Hahahaha…

The views of the bazaar.

Nien and Wei decided to set up stalls at Padungan CNY Bazaar to sell cookies. Since they only sell cookies, Jimmy has this idea of selling more stuff. After our discussion, we decided to do seaweed twist for sale! So… I’ve been busy 3 days a week to get our seaweed twist ready.

Do come to visit our stalls. It’s situated near the police station 😛 heheheh… Stall number is 42A. I’m not there every night however I’ll be helping out on 13th(maybe), 14th(definitely) and the last day 16th(maybe). Not only we did the seaweed twist ourselves, the cookies we’re selling also done by us 🙂 To be exact, not me hehehe… It’s Wei and Nien. They had been slaving away for the passed weeks to get the cookies ready and Jimmy helped them occassionally. Come and show your support if you want. We also help our friends selling some CNY decorations there. By the way, this event started on 8th February till 16th February nightly.

Left: More view…
Right: The stuffs that we’re selling.

The entrance and the exit to our very own China Town. I had forgotten to take pictures of the famous cat statue that just situated outside the entrance.

One more thing, we’ll be selling Valentine’s stuffs such as flowers(14th), cuddly toys(13th, 14th) there too. The price range from RM15-RM200, from 1 stalk of rose to a dozen. They are all nicely wrapped. You can order in advance and we can deliver them within Kuching to your darling with a service charge of RM5. If you would like to order, leave me a message and I’ll contact you for confirmation and details. During the day time, the cosplayers will be selling at Waterfront. Just look for teenagers that wear costumes or cosplayers.

That’s all. Hope you enjoy your Valentine’s and CNY preparations.

Kuching Bloggers’ Meet 2007

February 9, 2007November 23, 2008 sweet surrender 16 Comments

This is an open event. All Kuching’s bloggers are invited! It’s not a private meet! As long that you have a blog and you are in Kuching during the said date, do come to join us. 🙂

I’m not sure I’ll be going or not. Usually I don’t join bloggers’ meet at night because it’s not that convenient for me to go out at night unless someone is willing to pick me up and can send me home by 10pm.

Important note to note is: “PAY FOR YOUR OWN FOOD & DRINKS”. I realised that Oregano is not like bing! or tao where you order and pay on the spot. I’m kinda worry that there are some irresponsible people taking advantages of this. Frankie, I think you have to let Oregano know before hand that for this bloggers’ meet, they should take payment once the food and/or drinks are served instead of settling the bill at the end of the meet. Just in case, some might forget to pay and leave, there are many cases like this.

Personally, I prefer private meet than open meet as it’s easier to control and it’s a much better way to know each other. When there are too many people, it’s going to be a bit hard. Anyway, hopefully it goes well. I’ll confirm later as I might have some CNY dinners to attend by then. Most importantly, when I manage to find someone who is willing to pick me up and leave early with me.

Anyone who is interested to join this meet, remember to RSVP Frankie at frankiecy [at] yahoo [dot] com

Happy 49th Independence

August 31, 2006September 10, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

Happy Merdeka Day!

I took some photos/videos from the live telecast few minutes before the clock striked 12 last night. Then a few minutes after 12 too.

I woke up at 10am this morning and the parade had finished 😛 so no photos from there. Before the clock striked 12. Hmm… I took a lot and it turned out that only the cultural dance part can be used. The rest couldn’t be used.

Here’s the video that will summarised everything on 30th night right on the spot. Thanks to Nien.

As for this morning, I only saw the end of it where they took the view from high up and it’s showing Carpenter Street area but they totally didn’t show our skyscrappers that were all at the other side. That whole view really gives people that don’t know much about the impression that Kuching is a small town, very very small town and backward, so dissappointed with that view. They should also show the other side of Kuching. Are you humiliating us? People, that’s the not the true picture of Kuching, it’s just a small part of Kuching where all the old shops located. You can buy all sorts of souvenirs and antiques at that area.

Kuching Festival 2006(11) – FINALE

August 20, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

It’s the last day today! Grabbed some simple dinner or I would rather refer it as snacks from food fair before going over to Amphitheater for the Open Air Movie Carnival.

We decided to have Thai food this time. We bought fried soft shell crab, fried crab+chicken meat in crab shell and mango chicken. Overall was RM10.

The soft shell crab tasted ok not oily though it’s fried. As for fried crab+chicken meat in crab shell, it’s so tough!! It’s hard to eat too. Lastly, mango chicken was quite ok. The mango was young mango strips marinated in sweet and sour sauce with chopped onions etc. Too many spices in there, I don’t really know them.
