Yummy Raw Meat Noodles

It is an old cliché that the most crucial task of all times for a Chinese is to eat.  As discriminatory as it sounds, I just can’t deny it. One of my missions in Kota Kinabalu is to tantalize my taste buds with its well-known “Sheng Rou Mian/Shang Yuk Min” propagated by the YouTube video “Orang Sabah Style”.

Despite being warned by a local Mantanani Island tour guide that KK doesn’t produce quality Raw Meat Noodles, I have decided to try my luck in one of the coffee shops along Jalan Gaya (the only shop I came across selling this).

Tada tada tada~ Priced at RM6.00, I placed my order for a bowl of dry noodles, instead of soup noodles or kuey teow.All I could taste was dried onion and kicap. Tasted rather familiar I would say. 

As opposed to wat it's called, the meat was not raw. Thin slices of pork meat, fresh home-made meat balls, pork liver were found dipping in the bowl of sweet soup. And guess what, the combination of the soup and the noodles is simply irresistible.

I would rate it a 4 over 5. Gotta try the real famous one in Lintas (or Likas) next round =) Mission accomplished.

You're famous

Today, colleague B and I took the elevator soon after the meeting ended. We bumped into colleague C.

Me : Hey C, this' B our new XXXX.


B and C happily greeted each other.


C : Do you know who am I?

Me : Of course.

C : How do you know who am I?

Me: Erm .... because you're famous.


=D  

Needless to say, it was a memorable elevator ride.

Escapade to Sekinchan Using Public Transports

The auspicious year of Dragon was kicked start by visiting the uber renowned Sekinchan. Remotely located at the very outskirts of Selangor Darul Ehsan, one would be shocked by the existence of these serene villages alongside with the well-developed city of Twin Towers. As usual, the RM8+ bus tickets were abruptly bought as it's a unplanned decision.

Paddy field explains how Sekinchan is named after.

Nah! Who says you can't travel to Sekinchan without traveling by cars?

As the most recent batches of paddy has just been turned into rice, twas the among the better shots we captured! =)

For most people know Sekinchan as a ricebowl, perhaps we could look at it from a different angle. It's a combination of a few villages which make their living (or fortune) outta the most primitive activities on earth i.e. farming + fishing.

And according to my friend, local chinese TV series adore shooting here.
P/S the sea is black in color because the village is basically built on a land rich in alluvium

My longest meal ever. The 4-dishes sumptuous seafood lunch took us long enough as we waited PATIENTLY for 2hours before the meals was eventually served. What to say, it was definitely worth the wait as it did not manage to poke holes in our pockets. XD And mind you, they were of 4 person's portion.

Make a wild guess, which one belongs to me?

Have no idea why most houses come with these 2 Chinese words.

All in all, this was indeed an awesome getaway for city-goers like us. To me, Sekinchan looks kinda like a expanded version of Balik Pulau in Penang (Okie, everything reminds me of Penang ;D)These villagers very much reminded us of the abundance of happiness simplicity could bring us. And most importantly, they clearly define what life is meant to be.

Office 101 (WTF!)

10.Never walk without a document -- People with documents look like hardworking employees headed to important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're headed for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they're headed for the toilet. BetWEEn , make sure you CARRY LOADS OF STUFF home with u at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you really do.

9.Use computers to look busy-- Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, chat and have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. When you get caught by your boss , the best defense is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars.

8.Messy desk -- only top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. PILE THEM HIGH AND WIDE.

7.Voice mail -- Never answer your phone if you have voice mail.Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a message for you and it sounds like impending work, RESPOND DURING LUNCH HOUR when you know they're not there -- it looks like you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

6.Look impatient and annoyed -- SOmetimes ,the one who always try to look IMPATIENT AND ANNOYED to give off the impression that you're always busy.

5.Leave the office late-- Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read. Make sure you WALK PAST the boss' room on your way out. Send important e-mails at UNEARTHLY HOURS(i.e. 9:35pm, 7:05am, etc.) and during public holidays.

4.Creative sighing for effect -- SIGH LOUDLY when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.

3.tacking strategy -- It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books ON THE FLOOR TOOO

2.Build vocabulary -- Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the JARGON AND QUOTES. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember, they don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.

1.MOSt imPOrtant -- DONT forWard this to your boss by mistake!



P/S: This' definitely not my work. Because I don't have to. XD Taken from one of the blogs I read whilst sipping honey milk on the last day of 2011

B - "The case was decided in the year when you and I weren't even born, yet"


The sarcasm.


It's a good law, still, as affirmed by Justice Gopal Sri Ram...

You are the apple of my eye

In other words, the unreachable is always the best ....

A must-watch for gen-y dudes and for gen-y babes, it's optional. Overall, me likes!

Diwali

This year, palatable Murukku and romantic fireworks were no where to be seen. Instead, HL and I took a tour back to our past, took a stroll around the quiet Little India and took a random bus to a serene uptown.

And we kinda found out why Hilton/Meridien Hotel deserves such fine ratings. It's because of Azhar :-) He, in person, professionally defines warmth and hospitality.

Desire

Have you ever desired for something so badly that you feel like owning it immediately and yet, at the very moment you own, you would rather not owning it?

In the Name of Love?

She's hot, brainy and attached and he's good-looking, out-spoken and attached.

She has a bad reputation and he is famous and somehow, they just clicked.

His girlfriend and her boyfriend weren't blind.

She and he live happily ever after.

And now, he's got a bad reputation and she has to sacrifice for his career. If not in the name of love, what is it for?
