Turn Red Mini Zoo – Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Turn Red Mini Zoo – Part 1

This is in Bau, not in Kuching, so I’m not grouping it under Uniquely Kuching. On 31st August, we made a last minute decision to go to visit a zoo. Called up many friends and too bad they already had their own plan already.

I’m not sure how to describe the direction to go there. Basically just go to Bau, then you will see the signboard below…

Take the left… The right is going to Sematan and Lundu.


Just drive straight up, don’t turn into Wind Cave on your right. Don’t turn right! Just drive straight up to Fairy Cave direction. See the magnificent mountain! Very nice! You don’t see this everyday for the city folks.


You will reach a junction with the yellow signboard, then turn right. You will reach the police check point. This is also the direction for you to go to Serikin, where the Indonesia border is.


Not long after that, pay attention to your left, you will see the signboard. This is where the mini zoo is located. You are now right below the rock mountain.


Left: We were greeted by huge and tall tree trunk. See how small I am 😛
Right: Well… Just normal tree 😛 You can only see my eyes there hahaha…


Some views of D’ Villagers(formerly known as Turn Red Restaurant). This is where you can sit and rest after hours of walking aroud. Enjoying the clean air and the nature around you. You can also order some drinks and food to savour there. This, I will cover in later part.

The middle is a huge rock pillar, pretty tall too just like the tree trunk above.

The time it took us to reach there was around 45 minutes-1 hour…

Birthday Post 2007

Posted on By sweet surrender 18 Comments on Birthday Post 2007

If you want to skip this post, you can hahaha… Nothing informative just me, me, me and me… Very long one too…

Ah… Got a surprise mail(real mail, not e-mail) this morning. Somebody sent me something in the middle of the night. Santa is coming to town! Hahaha… A bit too early *LOL* Thanks. You know who you are.

This is my one and only birthday present for this year, I don’t think there will be any other coming. I don’t have many presents for my birthday, sometimes even none but then I don’t mind, no one remembers I also don’t mind. What’s the big deal with birthday? Especially when you are getting older and you are still stuck in the same place as last year or since years ago.

Oh well… As long that I get to have my family with me, I’m thankful already. Will be going out to eat satay tonight hahaha… Yummy…

Let’s see… I’m 25 this year. What have you achieve before you reach 25?

Me… Money wise, I manage to make money from blogging, making far more than my day job. I’m saving up these money for my trips.

Other than that… I’m still very much single, not much achievement in other things as well.

Here’re my observations of my peers:
1. In steady relationship, got married, engaged, started a family…
Me? I’m still far from all these! Yesterday my mom just told me that, “At your age, I already have a daughter already… That’s you.” *SWEAT* Me? Even boyfriend also don’t have. Not that no one wants me, there are many but none can give me the security I need! Financial security that is. Not that I’m worshipping money or what, it’s just that everyone has different needs in a relationship and it happened that financial security is my biggest concern, I tried out so many tests and so many quizzes and no doubt, all came out saying that I need financial security. Well… There’s one but… Not going to talk about it now… Not until we had worked thing out.

I met an ex-classmate on Sunday and told her that many of our ex-classmates are married with kids already. She exclaimed,”WOW! So early get married, don’t even say with kids. We are only 25, too early la…”. Personally, I think getting married before 25 is a bit too early too. We also did talk about how many of our friends actually have no more social life(all their life resolve around husbands, kids and their in-laws, friends are no longer in their list) after they got married, damn scary…

2. Steady career, climbing up the career ladder…
Me? Hahaha… Not my cup of tea and I’m making money via blogging, no fixed income but at least get more than what many people are getting from Kuching’s job market.

3. Have tonnes of loans, mortgages, dealing with mortgage payment protection, bad credit mortgage, debts, helping in paying household expenditures…
Me? None… I don’t have any property and I don’t help with paying bills or groceries, I’m still so much of a parasite if that’s what you want to call me as *LOL* Sometimes I do pay a bit but at the end my parents still pay me back the money, got to keep the change summore. 😛

*SHRUG* What scares me the most is th BIG 30 is getting so much nearer! OH DEAR!!!

Last but not least, happy birthday to myself and I will blog about the birthday present by somebody after I clear my post debts 😛

This post was not meant to be a paid post but I found an opp that is suitable for this post, might as well… Hehehe… So I slot it in, please don’t hate me hahaha…

Me, myself and I, Take A Break

Countdown To My Birthday

Posted on By sweet surrender 25 Comments on Countdown To My Birthday

DAMN! I’m so angry now! I rather sit in front of my computer blogging and earn more money than doing your work that require this and that, changes after changes and what I’m getting in return are only 3 figures of Ringgit for hours and days and month of labour, haven’t even count the petrol money, at the end, I didn’t earn a bit. I earn more blogging and I could earn at least almost 3 figures a day after conversion from USD to Ringgit! If I don’t do your work, I can even make 4 figures(more than RM2K) in a month! SUCKS!

*BLEK* Cannot? I want… I know I will be one year older and… Not going to post it in this post anyway…

Went to Lilian’s blog and found something… It’s a tag but it’s quite different. She didn’t tag me, I tagged myself 😛

1. Go to Wikipedia
2. Type in your birthday and search your birthdate : 4th September
3. From the results, list down 3 events, 2 births and 1 holiday

3 Events
From the result, I found many wars, deaths and killings -.-” Only minority are nothing to do with those.
1. I remember very well about Steve Irwin. 2006 – Steve Irwin, “The Crocodile Hunter”, is killed by a stingray while filming a documentary on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
2. 1950- The “Beetle Bailey” comic strip begins.
3. 1956 – The IBM RAMAC 305, the first commercial computer that used magnetic disk storage, was introduced.
Too bad I don’t share the same birthday as Google(7th September) or Ebay(3rd September). 😛

2 Births
Hehehe… I know some celebrities that share the same birthday as mine 😛
1. 1981 РBeyonc̩ Knowles, American singer
2. 1978 – Wes Bentley, American actor

1 Holiday
I have no idea what are all the holidays listed in there so I simply picked one. Hahaha…
Roman festivals – start of the Ludi Romani a.k.a. Ludi Magni, until 19 September.

I’m going to tag people!! 😛 Hmm… Let me tag all the Virgoes! If you read this, and you are a Virgo, do it! Hehehe…

Me, myself and I

Baked Pasta

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Baked Pasta

Remember that I said that we had some leftovers of the pasta, there is no way you can keep them if they are already laced with the sauce. This is how we modified it for dinner.

We baked it!

Prepare cheese, we used cheddar cheese. Do pre-heat your oven first.


Get a baking tray, or use a plate or bowl(as long that it’s microwave and oven safe). Cover it with aluminium foil so that it’s easier to clean later. Then spread some oil on foil and pour the leftover pasta in there.


Sprinkle the cheese on top. We used too little cheese. Don’t be stingy with your cheese, the more the merrier 😛 Hahaha… Done with that? Stuff the tray into the oven/microwave. Hmm… I have no idea how long needed and the temperature. I estimated around 150 degree Celcius, 10 minutes.

Very simple right?

Merdeka Celebrations @ KFC Plaza Walk

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Merdeka Celebrations @ KFC Plaza Walk

Yesterday was the 50th National Day. Went to do some shopping and came across the National Day celebration at KFC Plaza Walk for Kids’ Fun Club members I think… One of the programmes was singing competition. By the way, if you are wondering where is Plaza Walk, it’s actually at Sarawak Plaza.

Then… Hehehe… See them?

Those are Chicky and his friends. I forgot their names already 😛 Chicky actually posed for me(the middle one) *LOL* He didn’t move a bit until I’m done taking photo. So funny.

I don’t know it’s just me or not? Everytime I see these mascots walking around, I have mix feelings towards them. I mean… They won’t harm me, but I dare not to get close to them *LOL* At the same time, felt pretty excited seeing them. I know they are just human in there but *SHRUG* Really don’t know… Just have these weird feelings in me.

For adults, we all know that they are just human in there but many of us actually got pretty excited seeing them. Why? I don’t understand. Just like when you see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and etc. in Disneyland. These are originated from cartoons and TV shows, they don’t exist in real life but when somebody wears the costume of these characters, we would get all excited over them. Why? Hehehe… I don’t know…

Really pity those people in those costumes, must be very in there hot.

By the way, photos were taken with SE K800i without flash. I lef tmy camera at home because it’s still charging after the afternoon outing. Will blog about it after I’m done with choosing and resizing of the the photos. A LOT! Oh ya… I don’t think I can accompany you to your body piercings session.
