Just For Fun

2009-08-10T20:06:00.000-07:00

I AM 'kind of' back to blog people.. HAHAH this is what we call 'hangat-hangat tayi ayam' ..if people asking why I have been off blogging for such a long time..Well, its about 2 months already since my last post as I was very lazy plus busy with Uni stuff. So, I think I will start blogging again from today onwards. *finger crossed*

Ok, I went to this restaurant during my Aug trip to Singapore with my Michelle and her family and also her aunt and her lil cute cousin. Every time we visited Singapore, we will dine in this well-known restaurant in S'pore. It is recognised as the top 10 best restaurants in the world by some US newspaper... I still remember I read it on the wet tissues 'packaging'( can't think of any word). And their signature dishes are their juicy 'siaw long pao' and 'egg fried rice'. Quite expensive but definitely worth trying.

Enjoy the pictures below:

Visit to Sapi Island - KK

2009-08-01T08:20:00.000-07:00

WE MADE a visit to Sapi Island during our visit to KK. This time we dint go to the city area for our boat ride but tried and had it in the Sutera Habour resort. The whole package to the island is RM 50 which comprised the return boat ride, life jacket and snorkel equipment. Sapi Island is full of fun, and it was the best time for snorkeling as it is not the jelly bar season. Few slices of bread were brought along with us to feed the fishes while we were enjoying snorkeling and exploring the corals. Its my first ever experience to get into close contact feeding the fishes, and the feeling is SONG!! haha~~ Although sunblock was 'creamed' all over our body, we still ended up sunburn. Well that don't matter, its the fun that counts ~ =p

Smile ~~

Beautiful, isnt it?

Fish Spa & Foot Massage -1Borneo

2009-07-20T09:59:00.000-07:00

WHEN we were on our way to 'do business', Kel and me bumped up a massage centre where they offered fish spa. With physically tired state and mentally still hyper mood after a long day of shopping, we decided to get a try on that fishy thing (since never try before). For me, I couldn't stand the itchiness from the fish eating my dead skin when I first had my legs down. But after a while, I really enjoyed it, haha. And the two ladies had a foot massage.

SONG ah~

Likas Square Apartment - KK

2009-07-19T09:08:00.000-07:00

THIS apartment looked nothing special to us from outside when we first arrived. It looked somehow like a budget apartment instead.

"Wah, jialat apartment like that.''

The reception area or the main lobby was not that 'class' as well, just a few wooden sofas and coffee tables for the guests only. I think that is all I saw in the lobby. There are no airconds as well along the corridor to our apartment. It just somehow look like Singapore's HDB flat. But once we got in to our apartment... WAHHH *shocked*, we were amazed by how much difference the apartment was compared to what we thought. It can considered as a 'class' apartment, very cosy inside. All got a sigh of relief.

On the way to KK

2009-07-16T23:56:00.000-07:00

IT WAS a rainy Wednesday morning when we were on the way to KK, both drivers din't drive fast, average speed of 60/80 km/h. That's consider OK yeh~ Had twice went to the wrong way, but it was an experience to learn... no worry. The scenery is really beautiful especially when we passed by the palm trees plantation side and hilly mountains where we could see the clouds just on top of those mountains. Tuna sanwiches filled our stomach along the way prepared by Michelle, Thanks! ;)

KK Trip July 1st-5th

2009-07-15T07:35:00.000-07:00

A SO well-planned KK Trip for the UKians, Aussie and Bruneians to gather and have fun during the Summer holiday was perfectly distracted by the Swine Flu (H1N1). The hottest topic in the world recently. Itinerary had prepared and all the guys were ready to rock the bus as we planned to rent a bus for the KK trip. Months and months were all talking about the trip regardless during limteh sessions or in the facebook's group, but the power of H1N1 stopped their interests. From a group of about 14 people initially was reduced by exactly half, which left 7 energetic dudes ended up going by car instead. Haha. They are Kokhui, Michelle, Kevin, Elaine, Thai, Veronica, and Liyaa. But there were a few problems day before us heading down to KK:

Mums said "Don't go bah, H1N1 so serious now. KONG BEH TIA eh this GINA.''

Kel replied "Actually, there are more cases in Brunei compare to KK, still scared what?''

SPEECHLESS?? NO, they still say the same thing, but I know is for our own sake. So with our 'metal heads' and 'abit deaf ears' .. we made our decisions by not listening to the advice but tried to think our self for what's best to take.

Finally, we met at Kel's place at around 6am, reached Kuala Lurah Immigration Post by 7 and KK by 1.20pm. No break during the journey except when emergency, "Tangki FULL"

I am going to show you guys the pictures sections by sections... just stay tune =)

Homie Steamboat July 9

2009-07-10T09:04:00.000-07:00

A SUDDEN call from my mum saying night we are going to have steamboat for dinner. With this super last minute thing, I got to cancel my night plan and inform the UBD Basketball Club President that I couldn't make it for the friendly match and instead went to work earlier that night. Its been a long time since I play a friendly match. Hmm~... Anyway, the dinner was actually to celebrate James's advance birthday that mum decided to make. So, an easy steamboat with whole family gathered will be at the top choice. Not just us, we had special invited Michelle and Melvin for the dinner (as usual). After dinner, we all ended up 'washing the table'. (mahjong). LOL

Desserts for the night: Honeydew Sago (Si-mi-lu) *correct me if I am wrong* BUT I forgot to take pictures, haha.

It was actually an invitation to my mum from Winnie only, since I was beside her, she dragged me to, I was quite paiseh actually... I dont like to go when people didnt invite me, not 'muka tembok' .

As usual, the dimsums are good, but the siu mai are getting smaller in size, or maybe I didnt go there for ages.hmm ~

Out to discuss about the KK trip

2009-06-25T04:29:00.000-07:00

TRYING to settle the bills for apartment and bus for this coming KK trip, so organizers (kel and elaine) called us out for limteh and pay the bill. We ended up in Coffee Zone, Centrepoint since I felt like eating their tea set-menu to replace my lunch. All the members who showed up are from the 'Usual Gang' Group, haha which comprised Kokhui, Michelle, Kiat a.k.a Mr Ceo of the 'Usual Gang', Kevin, Elaine, Cheehwa and Renfah. Hahaha. Mr Hwa and Renfah were late, reason for Hwa: ITB exams results are out today, so he have to rush to ITB and pray god to get good results.. while for Renfah: JUST WOKE UP. He went there with just woke up face and just woke up hairstyle. Unique dude~

All settled down, as usual talked bullshit here and there, and at the same time, all with their ideas spilling out to think about the plan and stuff that we are going to do in KK from the first day till the very last day. Everything was roughly planned, but there was one problem that we encountered...... NOT ENOUGH BULLET !!! HaHaHa

12th -14th June, Learning Weekends

2009-06-21T04:44:00.000-07:00

RECENTLY, I attended this 3-day course called DWTT (Dynasty Worldwide Team Training) in Qlap Plaza. It is basically learning things that we are unable to learn in school and also from parents. This DWTT teaches and guides us to understand even clearer of what we really are and the dream we aim all this while, other than that it also helps to improve our understanding in life and motivate us to be a successful person, not in the future, but from that very moment onwards. Actually I was reluctant to join at first because I've joined this type of courses before. But well, I gotta listen to someone's order. Hehe. Since I thought it will be like almost the same as the one I joined before, I decided to bring Hwa for accompany.HAHA (Hwa replied: Ok loh ~)... After the course, I realised there is nothing similar to what I had joined and this course make me learn something so important in my life that I've never think of. If there is a chance for this course to be held in Brunei again, I'd suggest you guys to join. Its worth it, no regret at all!! Trust me.

Below are the pictures I want to show during the 3-day course:

TODAY, my father's side decided to celebrate Father's Day in Farmbasket Restaurant. But due to lack of workers proofreading tomorrow's articles, I decided to stay and help my colleagues, and not attend the annual Father's Day dinner. How pathetic? So with my drumming stomach, I finally get to eat when my parents tapao food for me. The picture below is what I had ...

Breakfast and Lunch

2009-06-16T09:36:00.000-07:00

A SUNNY Tuesday morning where Michelle called me for breakfast with Melvin and Auntie at M.O.S.T Restaurant. This restaurant located at the junction before Jing Chiew Restaurant Gadong is famous for its 'Seria Fried Kuey Tiaw'. The boss also mentioned that the chef actually had 10years or more of experience in frying kuey tiaw. Also from Michelle that the kuey tiaw always 'out of stock' if one come late for breakfast on Sunday. Exaggerating enough? Or it is actually that delicious? I decided to find out today...

STEERING was so stiff, I thought what went wrong. Had my reverse parking outside my office and took a look at my tyre..OH MY,, one of my front tyres punctured. Panic panic, not a single cents was with me and I don't even know how to change the tyre.. Luckily, I got Syafiq and Joe to help me out.. Syafiq found out that there was a cut on my tyre and a nail poking through it that caused it to puncture.

The indecisive lunch/tea

2009-06-05T09:03:00.000-07:00

A DAY without lunch, and had two thoughts in mind, KFC or Fleur-de-lys. Since 'I also dont know why' Qlap was packed with cars till there was not even a single parking near KFC, she decided to try Fleur-de-lys. And just a step to the cafe, guess who we saw???

MRS LAW FUI FUI, haha paiseh saja (ex-MS-ians should know who is that lah) Did'nt talk much to her except a 'Hi' and a 'Bye'. LOL ~

Well well, so we decided not to sit beside her (place was 90% occupied) and instead sat outside with extra 'pepper' on our meal. Below are the food we had:

Ya people I know its carbonara again -.-''

She is craving for it recently,hmm ...*speechless*

F'tuccine Carbonara, quite a small portion. Very creamy. Cost $10.50 (not cheap)
