Chinese New Year 2007 – Day 2 (I’m Old!)

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Chinese New Year 2007 – Day 2 (I’m Old!)

Went to a few houses for visiting. Visited Pinky, Alysha and Tan. Such a hot day today. Nothing much. Aren’t these cookies cute? The middle two bugs are chocolates. There are bumble bee and ladybird in the cookie tray too.

(-.-“) Do I look like I’m already married? Do I look that old? πŸ™ Many thought that I’m still under age, this is not the first time I’m being asked this question by strangers usually when I’m in full makeup. Aiyoyoyoyo… Could be I’m in full makeup today that makes me look more mature. Eeeeeeeee… I’m old already πŸ™ This question was asked by an aunty that visited Alysha’s house today. She asked, “You married already?”. I was thinking to myself, “Do I look that old? OMG!!” I just told her no, I’m not.

I can’t even imagine myself get married? I feel like I’m still too little to get married πŸ˜› *LOL* coz I don’t look like an adult at all. I’m so small*LOL* I’m still a little girl hahaha… Imagine if I got pregnant. I’ll be like a little girl with bulging belly(-.-“). I really can’t imagine. Hahaha…

I’m sure when you are in your 20’s people will start to ask when are you getting married. I’ve been asked this question since few years ago. GOSHHH… I hate it! Some of my parents’ friends even said that they want to intro their friends’ son to me. I just shook my head. Don’t want to talk so much to them. No point. Besides, I’m not seeing them everyday, so I don’t care. Good thing it’s not my relatives that asked this. My mom sometimes also hints me about getting married. What the… *SIGH* I’m still very much single, no boyfriend yet, how to marry? You thought get married so easy? How many times I have to make the point that when there is no financial stability, I will not want to talk about marriage! YES! I told her this many times already. It’s getting on my nerves.

I’m old already *cry* Or I should not go out with full makeup so that I still look like a little girl πŸ˜› Then some nosy aunties will not ask this kind of question to me.

Fireworks Feast

First of all, thanks to Cripsy for sending me this photo. Amazing! Such a great timing! This is how Kuching looked like on the eve of CNY.

I tell you… This is really putting the government to shame! Don’t you think so? Since when you can see fireworks shooting up from every nook and corner of the city? All these are all from the citizens, bursting all their money to the sky right from their own house. Lots of rich people don’t you think? Hahaha… Imagine how much will it cost the government to do this, blasting firworks from every corner of the city? It’s illegal act but seeing this photo, do you think it’s illegal? *LOL* Are the authority doing their job? Anyway, don’t you think this view is amazing? Priceless…

This photo is taken with Nikon D40 summore!!! *drool* Thanks to Crispy again. Happy CNY!

Interesting, Uniquely Kuching

Chinese New Year 2007 – Day 1 (Lion Dance)

Posted on By sweet surrender 11 Comments on Chinese New Year 2007 – Day 1 (Lion Dance)

Before the clock striked twelve, there were already fireworks and firecrackers everywhere, these were just warm ups even though it rained, few minutes before 12, it’s getting more intense and lasted for almost 1 hour. Some shoots, no tripod, so don’t expect any nice photos hahaha…

I woke up at about 10am this morning πŸ˜› Hahaha… Woke up at 7.30am and then went back to sleep. Around 2pm, I went to Jimmy’s house for a short visit before going over to Lee’s house to watch lion dance performance. We were invited to withness the lion dance by Lee. Even if he didn’t invite us, we would be visiting him too. Nothing to do at home. So bored. I’ve been visiting Lee’s house on the first day ever since few years back. Then second visit when we had our group visiting. I did mention that I’m going to hunt for lion dance this year *LOL* Now I got it! Here’s the photos to share with you, not much, just a few shoots coz the rest are almost the same.

The troop reached Lee’s house at 3pm and shortly after we arrived, they started. First they let off firecrackers to start the dance. The lions danced at the main gate and gradually into the house. I was choked by the firecrackers smoke. *cough cough* By the way, fireworks and firecrackers are banned in Malaysia but I don’t think anyone cares about the ban.

Inviting or to be exact hiring lion dance troop to dance at your house or shop or office is to bring in luck. You will pay them by putting the money into the red packet a.k.a ang pao. Usually people will offer pamelo and cabbage together with the ang pao. The lion will peel the pamelo and the cabbage, then take the ang pao(see the bottom right photo).

After Lee’s house, we went to Jimmy’s house. At about 6pm, we called it a day. I’m still not really in CNY mood -_-“

Supper @ Best Berry

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Supper @ Best Berry

On Thursday night, it rained. We closed our stall early. Then went for supper. Couldn’t think of where to go and ended up at Best Berry.

Left: The ceiling.
Right: Fried Chicken Wing(RM4.90). I prefer grill one.
Left: Kiwi Tea Squash(RM3.50). Last time they had Kiwi slice in there but now no more, they blended them into the tea. According to the owner, they decided to do that because all the Kiwi slices were thrown away because patrons didn’t eat them. They felt that it’s very wasteful. Indeed very wasteful and Kiwi fruits aren’t cheap.
Right: Iced Orange Tea(RM3).

I like their drinks there. Especially the iced teas. I don’t know why but some how I have difficulty to pick what food to order there πŸ˜› They have so many types of food. By the way, lots of ice desserts too. Next time will try out one of them hehehe… Never had one before.

We chatted with the owners that night. Chatted till midnight summore *LOL* We talked about so many things, almost everything under the sun. Nice to meet you, Chris and Vivien.

By the way, CNY coming soon. That’s tomorrow. It’s not easy to find a place to dine out during these period of time, even if got, it’s only McD, KFC and Pizza Hut. If not then the coffeeshop will charge you more. I remember once that we had kole mee on the 3rd day of CNY at a coffeeshop and we were charge freaking RM5 for a normal kolo mee that cost only RM2 on normal days.

No worries anymore! The good news is that Best Berry is open on the 1st to 3rd day of CNY from 10am-12am. They are not going to mark up their food and drinks. Don’t be afraid to go there during CNY hehehe… They are ethical businesswomen. The best part is that, you get to take part in their LUCKY DRAW!!! You have the chance to take away RM1K!!! Besides that, there are also other prices to be won too such as vouchers. This will happen on the 1st and 2nd day of CNY.

They will close on 9th March 2007-12th March 2007 as they are going for a fishing trip at Sabah! So… All you kaki pancing… Do look for them if you would like to get to know more fishing enthusiats in Kuching. Fishing is usually guys’ hobby. They are the ladies that like to fish, it’s rare. Don’t you think?

Oh… I’m not paid to blog about it! I still pay for what I had ordered. Just happened to get to know them so might as well introduce them to you πŸ™‚
