Wait a minute, you don't look like a dork!

I always avoid going for outings after a long day. One of the reasons is this.

This happened during a recent dinner with some colleagues I met during my nomadic journey.

R: Hey did any of you go to this Dogatnon in Univesiti Putra Malaysia?

Everybody : ......

R: There were many dogs and it was very fun.

Me: Dork?

R: Yes, dog!

Me: And you went?

R: Yes yes.

Me: OMG I can't believe that. Wait a minute, you don't look like a dork .. I mean you aren't dorky and stuff...

J: Hey you, he's talking about dogs la babe.

Everybody: .......

I shall always keep to my principles =D

Kuching/Sarawak Delights along Carpenter Street

"Carpenter Street" was first heard of last year when my Sarawakian colleague YS  happily suggested we going for lunch in a restaurant so named along Bayan Baru. I was made known that it is a street with shops selling lotsa local Chinese delights!

Inevitably, during a recent trip to Kuching, we chose to overnight in one of the fabulous hostels situated exactly 1-minute walk from the famous street.

 We hunted for our breaky on this street on daily basis throughout our stay. 

I have no idea how to relate "Ya Ta Jie" (Chinese) with "Carpenter Street" =(

 

True blue Sarawak kolomee we had in the so called "Temple".  After having kolomee for 3 consecutive days in Kuching, I still think the one sold in the Palazzo tasted best!

 

 Sarawak laksa. YS said this' the spiciest food in Sarawak - that's why I love Sarawak so much (The fact that I despise spicy food doesn't make me any less Malaysian!!!)

The "Temple" enriching our gastronomical adventure.  Highly recommended by some locals.

Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Anti-Blemish Cleansing Foam

  

The "Teatree + Witchhazel Anti-blemish Deep Cleansing Facial Foam" is now called "Tea Tree Witch Hazel Anti-Blemish Cleansing Foam". I am gonna miss the liquid foam so much as the new one comes in the form of cream foam and hence, I would have to lather it with water. The effect is nevertheless as good as the old one, if not better.

Boots Botanic Rosewater Toning Spritz 100% Organic

 

This' the new look of my all-time-favourite since 2011 (as described in this post). 

Not only it has a new look, it is now called "Rosewater Toning Spritz 100% Organic" instead of "Organic Face Rosewater Toner". The present best feature would be it allows you to spritz anywhere and everywhere conveniently <3 .="" and="" br="" in="" is="" it="" made="" the="" uk.="">

After 2 long years, the nearest place to attain this is still, sadly, from my neighbouring land i.e. Thailand. I look forward to the day I could walk into a nearby Boots Chemist and pay for it using local currency.

 Goat farm in Miri

Beachy Miri

Of pine trees, crabs, breathtaking sunset, hands-on expats, the Shell

Piasau Boat Club

 

The Grand Old Miri

A fraction of the town. 

For the symbolic seahorse, many landed properties, six-lane-road & a petroleum museum that was closed for renovation (wonder why did this happen whenever I visited museums in M'sia).

A city of great potential I would call.

RM5

Lunch for today were half bowl of rice, kurma chicken breast with a spoonful of long beans.

Me: Berapa ya pak cik?

Uncle: RM ...

Me: Oh RM3?

Uncle: (Shocked) RM5 !

It just struck me that I was no longer in Sintok. Nor I was on the best isle on earth.

A Moment Like This

And then your mind goes blank and you're clueless of what's happening for the next 30 seconds or so, you react but you can't quite recall how's your facial expression and the surrounding turns quiet and invisible all of a sudden and once its over u know for sure that your life will no longer be the same =)
