I Need To Read Books

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on I Need To Read Books

I’ve not been reading books for like… More than 10 years!!! I used to read a lot when I’m younger especially books like Enid Blyton, Nancy Drew and other children story books. Now, I only read magazines such as Reader’s Digest. In fact this is the only thing I read nowadays except newspapers and blogs :P. Used to read CLEO, Female, Women’s Weekly, and Wanita but now no more… See! I really need to read more books!

Reading is fun, the way I read book is quite funny 😛 You know how? I read the first few pages, then flip to the last few pages to read the ending. Regardless of how the ending is, I will still go back to front where I stopped and continue. Hahaha…

Advertlets and FACES, you hear this? Do me a little favour will you? Give me those books and make me read books! I need to read books!

Irene needs to read books! Irene needs to snuggle up to bed with books and not snuggle up with laptop!

Me, myself and I

Valentine’s @ Jalan Song

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Valentine’s @ Jalan Song

After singing K at Enter K, we went to Sin Wan, Jalan Song for very late dinner. Met up with Tim, Ting and Anna there.


Left: Milk Cincao(RM1.70)
Right: Batu Kawa meatballs noodles, I’m not sure how much. I think it’s at least RM5 and above each.


Left: Chu chang fen with prawn and char sio filling (RM5)
Right: China BBQ Vegetables. Never tried it but seen it at Mooncake Festival Bazaar at Carpenter Street before.


Left: BBQ…
Right: Potato(RM0.50/stick), looked crispy but it’s not. By default they would top it with chili powder(more like MSG overloaded, not very spicy). Therefore if you are not the kind that can’t stand even a bit of spiciness, you can ask them to top it with other powder, not sure what else they have 😛 Could be just salt or MSG hahaha…


Left: BBQ Lady’s fingers(RM1) on top of brinjal. It’s just lady’s fingers hahaha…
Right: BBQ brinjal(RM2), just brinjal with overloaded MSG hahaha…

There are also tofu, cucumbers, cuttlefish, chicken feets, chicken wings and fishballs.

On other note… Many people thought that Anna is my sister :p Hahaha… Many said that we look alike… Here’s the photos taken that night… Sisters? Hmmm…

Enter K

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Enter K

Valentine’s Day, we spent 5 hours singing karaoke 😛 Hahaha… Frankie booked a room for 4 of us and Allen joined us later. So there were we, Jimmy, Frankie, Allen, Adeline and I.


Enter K, is the newest karaoke establishment in Kuching. Located on the 2nd floor of Crown Square, Pending. Opened last year end and only got the chance to visit it yesterday. Same concept as Popwave but there are some differences with the sound system and the the pricing of course.


Left: I really like the entrance. Even got water down there and a bit of smoke(from dry ice). I was expecting to smell cigarette smell, surprisingly I didn’t smell any!
Right: However, the smell was quite strong in the room, good thing it’s not as strong as Popwave or other nightspots. This is normal room, VIP room is more expensive. You must pay before you go in. It was RM23++/person, after added the tax, it’s RM26+/person.


We were in room number 10. With that price, you will get one glass of free soft drink/beer. As for the snacks that you see here, I think they will provide the snacks for each room. I don’t think Frankie ordered it. I ate most of them hahaha… I wonder they have hidden cameras in there or not? They came in to collect the bowls once it’s finished -.-” How do they know!!?!? Aikss… Scary…


We sang for 5 hours, didn’t know change how many battery for the microphones. -.-” The batteries ran out so fast!! We were speculating that they might be using China batteries. The sound system isn’t that good also to my untrained ears hahaha… We sang more than 50 songs(I think…) At the end, we still had about 40+ songs that didn’t manage to sing.

Left: *BLEK* My photo 😛 Out of focus but I like hahaha.. Blur blur one…
Right: The pricings. They have other packages too. You can check it out with them. You can book or call them for more information at 082-483636.

That’s how the 5 single guys and girls spent their Valentine’s 😛

Valentine’s Day 2008

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Valentine’s Day 2008

How’s your Valentine’s Day? For me, at least I’m not bored as I used to be. Hahaha… It’s not that I already have a boyfriend to spend it with, it’s just that I have quite a number of single friends to spend my day with yesterday. How do we celebrate? We went to Enter K to sing karaoke from 3pm-8pm!! 😛 Hahaha… Will blog more about it later. Next we went to Jalan Song for very late dinner. Will also blog about it later.

After that, we went over to Padungan’s cat statue to take some photos of the stalls selling Valentine’s goodies. Not many people setup stalls this year and the traffic wasn’t as bad as it used to be. I got to know that many of my friends had to go back to cook instant noodle instead of having romantice dinner together last time because everywhere were packed! Traffic was so jam from the MBKS swimming pool until the city centre. This year is cold… Much like the Chinese New Year, it’s coooold… No CNY mood, no Valentine’s mood as well.

Some photos of the Valentine’s goodies on sale. Not many people buying also. I guess people had changed their way to celebrate or because of the slowing down of the economy… No money…

We took the opportunity to take photo at the cat statue hehehe… My first time taking photo with my friends here. I think I had my photo taken here like decades ago, not so sure, can’t recall hahaha… If not then this is my first time taking photo here hahaha…

Oh by the way, the two on the left are not single 😛 They are couple hahaha… The 3 on the right are single… Poor us… The one holding the camera too.

Chapter 7: The Dream

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Chapter 7: The Dream

I know, I know… It’s been more than one month already that I didn’t continue my story. Since it’s Valentine’s day today, I will continue the story from Chapter 6: The First Phone Call…

One morning he called me right after he woke up, I just woke up that time too. He told me that he dreamt of me. ME TOO!!! The weirdest thing was that we dreamt about almost the same thing on the same night!!

His version:
We were at Coffee Bean having a drink, I ordered Latte and he ordered Cappuccino. After the drink, we went to the beach and he taught me how to jetski. After jetski, we sat on the beach watching the sunset, kiss and made out under the coconut trees at the beach!

My version:
We were at the beach. He taught me how to jetski. After he’s confident that I could do it on my own, he just stood at the beach and watched. I’m a PRO! Pro in really really PRO! He was stunned. I told him that I know how to jetski just that I wanted him to “teach” me. After that, we just sat under the coconut trees at the beach and watched the sunset.

He told me his dream before I told him mine. When he told me I was like you-are-kidding-me. OH MY! There were just so many similarities!!

1. The beach
2. Watching sunset under the coconut trees
3. Jetski except I’m a pro in my dream, I’m a beginner in his dream

See the the connections?

In my real life, I won’t order latte as I’m not a coffee drinker.
In my real life, I’ve never been on a jetski.
In my real life, I won’t make out under the coconut trees at the beach!

I think we got this dream because we were chatting about jetskiing the other day. He liked to jetski and he owned one/two(can’t recall or did he sold one off) jetski(s)(two different horsepowers of course) in Singapore. He would go out to the sea to jetski with his friends when they are free.

This dream is special and unique to us. After this dream, we never had any kind of dream similar to this.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. May you live happily ever after with your prince/princess.

1st Love, Specials
