The New Sarawak Plaza

November 26, 2008November 27, 2008 sweet surrender 12 Comments

Was on the way to Sarawak Plaza and saw many poeple looking up to Holiday Inn outside of the building. I looked up and saw this:

Our first thought was someone was going to jump from the building but it’s not. There was a small fire at the signboard and the management was extinguishing it with fire extinguisher.

I forgot to take photos of the exterior of Sarawak Plaza where they have newly designed signboard up. It gave the building a much more modern look.

The inside also changed. Got new flooring, new doors, new designs, new lightings etc. However, it’s not really completed yet, there are still many things that they have to complete.

That’s all about the new Sarawak Plaza.

Inter-cultural Mooncake Festival 2008

September 13, 2008September 26, 2023 sweet surrender 6 Comments

WAH! It’s been raining every evening and finally there’s no rain last night. The Inter-cultural Mooncake Festival 2008 started on 10th but the first 2 nights rained so badly that I’m sure they couldn’t do anything much.

Last night, after attending my replacement class, I went there with my family. Traffic jam at that area but it’s not that hard to find parking. I didn’t bring my camera and ended up using my mobile phone for photos.

It’s very hard to take photos there with the crowd and don’t feel very nice taking photos of the stalls there when I’m not even buying from them. Bought nothing home hahaha… Here are some photos to show you.

Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 3

August 14, 2008August 21, 2008 sweet surrender No Comments

Let’s see more food from Kuching Festival. These were taken last Sunday, we bought the food home for dinner. The photos are pretty yellowish because that’s the original lighting of my house and I didn’t use flash. I only use macro to take these photos.

These are o kueh(yam kueh) and pumpkin kueh *LOL* Don’t know how to call them with proper name 😛 This is how we called them at home.

Left: Pineapple rice again… I usually ended up buying pineapple rice if I can’t decide what I want to buy hahaha… The one from Bangkok Thai is still the best. This is from another Thai restaurant because Bangkok Thai’s stall was packed!
Right: Penang assam laksa. Not so bad just that the weather was hot and humid, eating this was really torturing! 😛

Left: Fried emperor noodle, so small portion, so not nice.
Right: Cuttlefish with sweet chilli sauce. Yumm…

Left: Belacan beehoon is belancan beehoon :P.
Right: I don’t remember what this is called, in Chinese it’s “guo tieh”, hahaha… Something like fried dumpling. Not nice.

Last Sunday was my fourth time there. It’s always very hot and humid there. Lazy to go even though it’s quite near to my place hahahah…

The Longest Blackout In My Life

August 10, 2008August 10, 2008 sweet surrender 9 Comments

I was happily online and wanted to started my work and PUFF! Everything went black! I thought it’s only my area but later found out that whole Kuching was having this problem. Then later heard another news that whole Sarawak was affected! WOW!

It’s the longest blackout in my entire life living in Kuching. At about 6.30pm it started then only came back at 10pm+. During this 3 hours+, what would you do? No electricity, no TV, no fan, no computer, no Internet, nothing… Even had to shower with cold water brrr…

For us, we had our candlelit dinner last night. Hehehe… I decided to play with my new camera to test how good it is when under very dark situation. It could take steady photos even with my shaky hands hehehe… No bad… Most photos taken with macro mode and only 2 photos had their curve adjusted, the rest are original photo out from the camera.

Then also took photos of my phone in the dark.

During the long hour of blackout, we played with our cameras, mobile phones, candles and torch light. At the same time whinning and asking lots of questions about:
“Aiyoo… When will the power be back?!?!? I want to watch TV/my BT download halfway/I uploaded my file halfway/I want to online/it’s hot/I want to shower…”
“Why time flies so fast when no electricity!??!”
“Come, come, try to shoot this, shoot that.”
“No hot water to shower!!”
“Where’s the other torchlight?”
“Why the matches cannot use one!”
“Why other place already got power supply we haven’t got any?!?!”
“Will this last whole night!??! I want to watch TV/I need to work!!”
“Anything to do or not? Boring…”
Whole night repeating the same phrases 😛 Imagine that. Hahaha…

Shoot candles.
