Serian Fire Again…

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Serian Fire Again…

You remember the the row of old shops that were burnt down in 2007? That time they blamed it on the low water pressure. This time, another fire broke out and same reason was given. The fire department there sure will get grill again!! Obviously as it’s in the newspapers on 3rd June, various politicians were very concerned about the low water pressure issue. YEA RIGHT!

I got to know about it from a forum on 1st June but since it’s a public holiday, there wasn’t anyone that could give a confirmation. It started very early on the morning on 1st June. Also we didn’t go back for Gawai, so we didn’t know much. Many thought that it was the newly built shops that were just completed after the 2007 fire. The next day, we found out that it’s another row of shop, somewhere behind Petronas.

Yesterday, my parents decided to go to Serian and after our lunch(will blog about it), we tried to locate the place that got burnt down. Here’s the photos:

Serian is a small town with 3 petrol stations located not very far from each other, so you can imagine if fire is to break out at anywhere near the stations and the fire is out of control. The whole Serian town might be gone! Scary…

Feeling very tired lately, I don’t know why. Not in very good mood too. Don’t feel like doing anything too. Blame the weather?

I thought today would be a boring day. Luckily it’s not. We went to Serian to visit our relatives and had very late gawai visiting ;p

Anyway, when I reached my aunt’s house, I saw a kitten sitting there at the back of the house. It’s so adorable, sitting there just like a fur ball. Couldn’t help it, it’s so cute!

So I tried to take some photos of it from far but it’s too far. I decided to go closer hoping that it won’t leave, lucky me… It just sat there very still. I went closer and closer each time, I mean my camera and it still didn’t budge. I was expecting that it might claw my camera but it just sat still there as if thinking, “What is wrong with this human being, never seen a cat is it?” After quite a while, finally it stood up, did some scratching and stretching and left without even looking back.

This is the first cat that sit still for my camera. Usually others would walk away or move too much.

Here are some photos that I had taken. Played around a bit with Photoshop. Cute cat right?

p/s: I know there’s an error with my watermark ;p Don’t care la… Lazy change. So late already. Go to sleep now.

Any Post Today?

Yes but a super duper random one.

So… What is your plan tomorrow? It’s another public holiday. I got nothing to do again. Gaming marathon again I guess…

Just got back from dinner with my friends. Talked about all those childhood food, you remember those biscuits, cookies and junk food? All those growing up in the late 70’s or 80’s will surely have those memories.

Wonder how can we stand all those sugar, MSG, salt, and colouring last time ;p We were stuffing ourselves with those junk food back then. I don’t think we can even eat much of those without feeling guilty or just find it too sweet, too salty or too unhealthy.

Those were the days when we have no worries about the world.

Ok… Going to end this random post. Time to sleep. Good night!

The Time Before Night Falls

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on The Time Before Night Falls


I love sunset. I used to like to take sunset pictures but slowed down for couple of years.


These photos were taken this year and last year.


Looking back at those old sunsets photos reminded me of how nice sunset is.


I think I should take more photos of sunsets from now on as sunset is unique.


No two sunsets are the same.


Once it’s gone, it’s gone, you can’t turn back time.


Life is so fragile and full of ups an downs. Even though we know this is the fact, how many of us can really appreciate everything that we have in life and treasure it? Very little.

Sigh…

Young Mango Kerabu

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Young Mango Kerabu


Are you salivating? I know I am! This is one of my favourite food. Once I ate too much and got stomachache because this is a sourish dish. Yummy… Composing this post make me salivate, I kept swallowing my saliva.

Kerabu is Asian salad. You can find them easily in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, and maybe some other parts of Asia which I’m not so sure. Basically, you can find it in any country surrounding Malaysia.

There are many ways to do it and many ingredients can be used. I love young mango kerabu. The taste is very unique, sour(young mango), sweet(sugar), salty(belacan or the soya sauce) and spicy(chili).

The photo here is young mango with light soya sauce, anchovies, chilies, onions, and sugar. Just toss them and you are ready to savour it. *slurp* There are many ways and many ingredients that you can use but this is how I like mine. You can type “kerabu” in your search engine and you will surely find tonnes of recipes for it 😉

Don’t ask for any measurement, it’s up to you.

Do not eat kerabu if you have an empty stomach because it will cause you stomachache. Also not too much too. Young mango is quite sour and it can cause upset stomach. So eat in moderation.

You can eat it on its own, I prefer it this way or you can eat it with your rice.

DELICIOUS! Make me crave for one now…
