Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 2

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 2

Went to Kuching Festival again last night. This time, we managed to visit the garden and I got to test out my camera with all the flowers hehehe…

Let’s see the food first, didn’t have much last night, no idea what to eat *LOL* Not nice one… We spent RM14 for these:

Left: The crowd before 6pm
Right: Curry lamb leg(RM7), very tough -.-” So hard to eat.


Nasi Briyani and Pineappple Rice (RM3.50 each), very dry, very hard to swallow.

Enough about the food. Here’s the photos of the Garden Show. I tested my camera with it. I quite like the macro, easy to use. However, I know the pics are not good hahaha… the framing and everything are just not right. I just simple shoot without composing. No editting done, just resized.

Let’s just let the photo do the talking. Nothing really interesting to see ;P

Please Do Some Soul Searching

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Please Do Some Soul Searching

After the meeting last night, I hope that all of you can do some soul searching whether you really want to commit before our next meeting. Personally I felt that last night’s meeting is a bit pushy and I felt that many were some sort of like being forced into accepting the roles. There seemed to be no choice to say “NO”.

I know that most of you actually just want to help whenever you can instead of being drag into the frontline. If you really really really cannot commit and really really not interested, it’s still not too late to say “NO”. Don’t be pressured that all your friends said “YES” and you have to force yourself to say “YES”. You have your own say. Once it’s official, there is no way you can turn back anymore and it will definitely do no good to it if it’s against your will.

To me, I have no problem with the job I’m assigned as this is what we’ve been doing all these while. I’m just worry about those that are not ready to hold any responsibility or giving any commitment to it.

If you will, please ask yourself carefully and consider all the responsibilities that you will have to hold in the future if it’s official which if you don’t, your irresponsibility will be putting the reputation of everyone invloved at stack.

I’m not against anyone as I for one did the same mistake just like anyone else last night and I don’t feel good about it. Please, please, please, if you will, consider carefully and give us your decision in the next meeting.

Like I said, if no one is committed enough to it, there is no need to set it up. It is NOT a must. To me, I don’t mind if it’s up or not, all I want is the responsibility and the commitment. Everything will be OK if these two exist else say so much also no use.

Tired…

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Tired…

Nothing much to update today. Actually a lot but very tired now. Too many things going on today.

Went to sing K that lasted 4 hours(again… :P), then go to Kuching Festival food fair for dinner for about one and half hour, then go for a meeting that lasted about two and a half hour. TIRED. Mentally and physically tired.

Will update tomorrow. Took some photos here and there with my new camera 😛 Will show you tomorrow.

Jade Pot Tea House

Hmm… I thought I did post about this somewhere in my blog but I can’t find it, hmm… Maybe in pre-Wordpress days. Nevermind… Let’s just see what we had last Friday before going to Sarawak ICT Expo 2008. We went to Jade Post Tea House at Jalan Song Thian Cheok for lunch, if you have My Privilege Book, you can get 10% discount if you spend RM20 and above per visit.

Let’s see what we had:

Left: Our drinks, Wu Mei Tea(RM2.50), Peppermink Milk Tea(RM3), Pineapple Green Tea(RM2.50), Honey Green Tea(RM2.50)
Right: I ordered Wen Zhou Wantan Tang Hoon Soup(RM5), I prefer the one I had previously at the branch at Jalan Keretapi years back.


Left: Golden Fried Rice(RM4), no idea how it tasted 😛
Right: Pork Chop Noodle(RM4.50), no idea how it tasted too hahaha… At least no complain.


Braised Pork Rice(RM5), so fatty!! -.-” I think it’s braised because I’m not so sure how to read that word and I think that word means “breaised”, just some wild guess hahaha… I only got the bill, it’s all in Chinese words hahaha…

It was packed during lunch time, their business is quite good else they won’t be staying in business for so long and opened another branch at Jalan Keretapi few years back.

Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 1

Been there? I went there on Saturday and just now. The photos you see here were taken yesterday and today using my mobile phone and some of the food pictures with my new camera hehehe… I didn’t go on the first day, I missed the parade else you would see tonnes of colourful floats and people in my post. However I managed to watch the fireworks display from my bedroom window. Here’s the video:


This was taken today with my phone.


There are about 80 stalls at the fair. This was taken yesterday before 5.30pm, it was raining when I was there after my exam.


This was taken just now at almost 7pm, lots of people, taken with my phone also.


Taken today with my phone.
Left: The balloons stall that definitely will be there. Last time when we were young, my dad had to buy balloons from here everytime we went to the fair. He had to do this for more than 10 years. Imagine how many balloon he had bought for us, we got at least one balloon during every trip there. Now we’re all grown up and we don’t need to buy any balloon anymore but we will surely buy food.
Right: The stage is sponsored by Isuzu this year, I think…


The trade fair inside the hall. Lots of bridal studio taking part, it looked more like a bridal fair than a trade fair *LOL*


These two were taken with my new camera at home. I played with the macro mode. Will review about this camera later.
Left: Don’t know what it’s called, it’s RM5 for this one “ball” of rice. So many people bought it and it took more than half hour to get ours. -.-”
Right: Sambal stingray! Don’t know how much but not nice… The sambal was pretty bitter.


“O Jien” aka Oyster Omelette(RM7), the wet type from a new stall, not so nice. Too “eggy” *LOL* Photo on the left taken with my phone and the right taken with my new camera.

The following all taken with my phone yesterday:

Left: The sio bee stall that you will defintely see every year.
Right: From some restaurant. Bought the 3-layer pork meat with salted veggies, the one in black. Very expensive and very small in portion, not nice at all.


Left: “Chui kueh”, a type of Teochew cuisine if I’m not mistaken since it’s from a Teochew restaurant. My dad will definitely buy this when he’s there.
Right: Yam basket from the same restaurant. Didn’t buy this though.

That’s all for the time being, I’ll be visiting this fair quite often hehehe… So you will see more post coming your way.
