I want to blog, but I can’t!

24

August

I really wanna blog, blog anything, blog everything.. but sometimes.. we just cant shoot anything as we like, it need to be filtered before you ulter out some words. You have to be responsible for what you’ve said and done.

Ya, as per HB, its another lazy Sunday morning post. I can’t be lazy, I need to work. But I am lazy, cos I am sleepy. That is why I’m ranting over here.

The truth, ya, the truth.. the truth is, I’ve formatted my laptop, lots of data are gone. That makes my heart feel so pain. I try to browse some photo to update, but I couldn’t get any. The laptop driver couldn’t be found, and lots of things are not fully function yet. The wifi is not functioning. The card reader is not functioning as well.

Will update soon once I get it all done. Sorry for the craps. I’m going off work now. =.=


Sabah Food Encounter

22

August

Best of the best.. I’m presenting the Sabah Food Encounter that I’ve done during my last visit to KK. Anyhow, I did not taste many many local food..  so not much to show off here. Take your time to scroll for the picture, indulge yourself with the food. :D

Burger King @ Centre Point, KK


They say Burger King in KK have the best quailty among all Malaysia outlets.


How true is that? Let’s see…I had the SWISS Mushroom Burger. Thanks to Bangla for recalling my memory. I was really really hungry.. the portion is quite small, for me it was really delicious when you are hungry. You know.. after a few hours of snorkeling at the island.. the tummy is sure calling for my name, goolooloo!!!

EGG TART PRINCE @ Centre Point, KK


EGG TART PRINCE

What are the other specialties that can be found in KK, they told me their egg tarts are selling like hot cakes! Hmmm, Wanfern bought each of us an egg tart. Thank you ah mrs turtle.


Let’s get it meltzzzzzzzz in my mouth..


De.Li.Cious?????? Yes, please serve it when its hot!


Yammmmmmmmmmmmmmm TART!


That was our meal at centre point. Thanks to KuetHon My son.. for taking picture for us. ;) Its my pleasure to bump into Mirian in KK.

Hai Wang Chen, Kota Kinabalu.

Our first dinner outing at KK, 10 of us agreed to have dinner here. Its lucky that we have friend,ALIEN who is the manager on duty, help us to reserved a table for 10. Else, I don’t think we manage to get a single sit as their business is extremely good!

Hai Wang Chen in KK is popular with their various kind of strange seafood. There’s a separate section that you can actually go and choose the live seafood as per your desire, price were also stated. Of course, that’s only if you are willing to pay for those expensive seafood.


Tiger Prawn!!!!!!!! Ok nice to see, but no money to eat! Wakakakakak….


The fragant fresh coconut Juice!!!!!!! RM7 for each!


Fried Chili Crab


Sha Bai Soup (a type of clam)


The Green Green Vege

Fried glass vermicelli, not nice at all!


Fresh Prawns!!!!!!!!


Thai Style Mango Chicken


That’s our group photo at Hai Wang Chen.. but the turtle couple is gone shopping!

It wasn’t recommended as it does not meet my expectations. Some are too salty, some are overcooked, and I really don’t like to pay this much to enjoy this kind of standard lo!!  We are paying are way too much compare to what we eat.

Total damaged: RM370 . TMD!

Manhattan Fish Market @ 1 Borneo


Kekeke. Having our good time at Manhattan Fish Market.

This happened on the 2nd day of our KK trip, after the Manukan Island, we visited 1Borneo. The mall is pretty new, not much shop open but it was really the biggest mall in Borneo at the moment. We saw many many food retail stalls, but can’t decide where to eat.

Hence the Buibui Goolooloo says, Let’s go to MANHATTAN!!!!!!!


Watch OUT!!!!! FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Manhattan Seafood Platters. Thumbs UP!!!!!!!


Oh. The cheese melts on the Prawn!!!!!!

The meal cost RM150 for 4 person. I really enjoy the meal! It was so full till the night, which I don’t even need to take dinner. :)

Sabah Homemade Chili Sauce


We woke up early on Monday morning, walking across the road to find out the local homemade chili sauce from the wet market. It was request by Yen’s colleague to get her the sauce as souvenir. There’s many many type of Chili Padi, some add on with Belacan, and there’s also Mango type. I bought 2, but haven’t get the chance to try. Hmmm..

Wait till I try it, then I tell you Wokey? But i know it must be damn spicy!!!!!!!

Local Coffee Shop
Since Yen and I had walked so far to the Wet Market, hence we gonna try some local cuisine from the nearby coffee shop. I sit down, I have no idea of what to order, as it looks all quite normal and not interesting at all. I know in KK there are lots of great food, only if you know where to get it. Obviously, the 2 girls are lazy to walk.. so get the nearest one and dine!

I have seafood bihun, which i really grumbled for what it comes out. I only had quarter of the food, although it looks quite fabulous, but that was just the look, not the taste!!!


Yen go for the Laksa. Which we thought it should be nice. Maybe we got the wrong shop, or maybe we just cannot get used of their local favourite.

Sigh, its another disappointing encountered!
So next time be wise, please go for those people highly recommended, although you might end up having a long queue but it is worth!!!!!!!!!

HengLong Restaurant , Warisan Square.


We were looking to get our Brunch before take off to MIRI on the last day, so the nearest place to our hotel is Warisan Square, which our other friends suggested that the few dine out are quite nice. We are supposed to go to those HongKong style Char Chan Teng, but that was too early for them to get the ingredients ready, so end up we saw the opposite shop offering 50% off for all the dimsum. Quite attractive deal, so there we go for the DimSum!


Honestly, for the price we are paying, which is about RM3 per item after discount, its very worth to eat. Somemore.. the environmental wise, its very worth for a try. But I have to say again, if its paying at the original price, I’ll say NO NEXT TIME. Sorry ah…

See see see… I really have more complaints than compliments, how come ah? End up the most satisfying meal were at the Manhattan Fish Market which is not a local cuisine some more.  But no worry, we gain experience from every falls.. it doesnt matter at all.

So next time, please get a car ready if going to KK, I hate to walk, that’s why i am FAT!
Time for dinner again, I’m going to KADz….


Better In Time

Better In Time, by Leona Lewis.
Its another repeating song, that happen to appear on my phone as ringtone, sms tone, and blasted on my car audio now and then.
*At this time, I know someone will pop out a word.. Nge Nge oh!*


I did not decide to cut off my long long nails, but I have no choice but to cut if it will cause me further injuries. Hence, no matter how unwilling I am to cut off, I still have to let go.


Now, its not so short yet. Will it grow longer or get shorter? It depends.

It’s all gets better in time :)


Enjoy the song, enjoy the lyrics..
Enjoy your life.. Safe walk…

Better In Time, by Leona Lewis.

It’s been the longest winter without you
I didn’t know where to turn to
See somehow I can’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who’s there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn’t know
If you didn’t notice you mean everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’ma be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

I couldn’t turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I’m dreaming don’t wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that’s the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn’t notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’ma be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

Since there’s no more you and me
It’s time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I’ll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: x2]
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

Although it has been raining all day yesterday, but thanks god that the weather is getting fine at the night. We had a small gathering at Pong’s Cafe just to give RabbitX a surprise birthday party. It can’t be consider as a party, as the Birthday boy was late and totally have no idea about the celebration.

While waiting for everyone, the early birds gets to camwhore first. Hehe.. Just a few random shots :)

When Tijah wants to break up…

19

August

Alvin was very excited when he jumped into the car and say, “hey Ku.. I show you a letter that my teacher tell us in the class today..” At first I thought that what lesson has been so interesting that caught the lazybum’s attention to share it with me. While I was driving, he took out the piece of paper from his wallet and start reading..

The title goes with.. TIJAH nak break up dengan boyfriend orang putih guna surat:

Hi, my motive write this letter to give know you something. I want to cut connection us. I saw you play wood three in front my eyes. So i break connection to pull my body from this love. I have think about this very cook cook. I know I clap one hand only. I don’t trust you again. You are really crocodile land! I dont want to play play with my liver. I have been crying until no more eye water. I don’t want banana to fruit two times.. Safe Walk.

Tijah.

Hmm… well let me explain the sentence one by one… else i don’t think you can understand what it tells. It need some Bahasa Malaysia translation in order to understand.

Hi, my motive write this letter to give know you something.
Hi, my motive write this letter to kasih tahu you sesuatu.

I want to cut connection us.
Saya mahu potong huhungan kita.

I saw you play wood three in front my eyes.

I nampak kamu main kaki tiga di depan mata saya.

So i break connection to pull my body from this love.
So i potong hubungan untuk tarik diri daripada cinta ini.

I have think about this very cook cook.
I have think about this sangat masak masak.

I know I clap one hand only.
I know I tepuk sebelah tangan sahaja.

I don’t trust you again.
I tidak percaya you lagi.

You are really crocodile land!
You are really buaya darat!

I dont want to play play with my liver.
I tak mahu main main dengan hati saya.

I have been crying until no more eye water.

I have been crying until takada air mata.

I don’t want banana to fruit two times..
I don’t want pisang berbuah dua kali..

dd=.=bb
Safe Walk.
Selamat Jalan.


Manukan Island Travelogue

18

August

It took so many times for me to re edit this post, thanks to the slow connection and my sotplug wordpress, now everything should be back to normal and hopefully it can be successful this time without facing much problem. Supposedly, the entry is going to be long, but i think I’m gonna cut the crap and straight to the point!

Let’s get back to my Manukan Travelogue, the second day of my visit to Sabah.


It is just repeating the same steps as yesterday, that we have to get to Jesselton Point by 8am to catch up the earliest boat to the island. While waiting for the boat to arrive, we get our breakfast from the food court. Okay, this time i go for the Nasi Lemak. Hmm it taste better and hotter than the bihun yesterday. ;)

Anyway, the travel mate for Manukan are slightly a change, those who went to Sapi the earlier gave up Manukan as they were all exhausted and some of them need to do their last minute shopping. I am supposedly not joining them too, but what can i do if i don’t join them? Its going to be a big waste to stay at hotel only.. so My Kiasu spirit tell me, I must go else i will regret.


Hence, only Yen and I join the turtle couple. Ooops i mean Ming Kang and Wanfern. ;)
The boat ride cost RM17 per head to Manukan. Another RM3 for the tax as well. I insist saying that I don’t want to join them for the snorkeling due to the sun burnt of yesterday.


Sempat lagi, i camwhore before we depart to the island.


Finally the boat is here.. and happily 4 of us get on the boat and arrive Manukan Island 15 minutes later. The boat ride was a bit bumpy due to the rough sea.


This is goolooloo, arriving Manukan Island. There’s many many fishes on the Jetty, ya, its more than Sapi. And of course, I will start shooting pictures of the fish… without wasting any second.


There’s people who directly start sitting by the Jetty and start feeding the fish.


Personally I feel that Manukan Island is more commercialized. Just right after we pass through the entrance. I can see nice built chalet by the beach side. Oh well. that’s for rent for sure, and its not cheap, the lowest range start from RM380 per night. Oh My God…..


The beach are well maintained, it is clean and life guard houses are available along the beach side. Facilities wise, they are well equipped, there’s a small booth renting snorkeling equipments.


My friends, Yen, Wanfern and MingKang get the snorkeling shoes from there. Ya, we learn from experience of yesterday, with a snorkeling shoes it is much more easier to swim and you wont get cut on your legs like i do !!!


While the friends go for the first round snorkeling, I become the nanny to take care of everyone’s belongings. Of course, I wont be sitting there day dreaming, I go for beach strolling and take nice pictures.


Talk about the beach. I still prefer Sapi. Although Manukan is bigger, but Sapi tends to give more natural feel.


Never forget, to pimp my blog.


The crystal greenish water do make me have the urge to jump down for a swim, but too bad i can’t swim… so i can only walk around and take pictures. The weather is pretty hot, and its blue sky isn’t clear enough for photo shooting. The pictures turns out to be flare, which is totally out of my expectations!


Manukan Island ;)

I bumped into a bunch of young men trying out the scuba-doo water sport. I try to peep them how it works, unfortunately, the mini submarine only work out when you to dive into the sea. So of course I cant see anything on the ground. Hahaha…


It was just 10am, still early… The little devil in my heart says I will regret if i didn’t dive in to see the corals. Thanks to MingKang being my snorkeling driver this time, patiently guide me along the snorkeling. I know its pretty tired for him to take care of someone who totally dunno how to swim. Some more, an oversize baggage. Grrr!!!


The fishes and corals here are slightly more than Sapi, but somehow the most I’ve seen are dead corals which is a bit of disappointment. Poor corals, who are the one so evil to pollute your home.


Yay, the group photos. That’s the end of the Manukan Trip.

We have to leave the Island before 11am, but its almost time. So we have to rush before the boat left us behind on the island.


Another cut for souvenir. Wuwuwu..


We manage to get bathed, get changed and get on boat on 11.30am. The boat was there waiting for us for half hour, please do not practice this, its bad example. Luckily the boatmen did not grumble.


Once again we reach Jesselton Point before 12noon. The weather is killing me, once again my skin tone increase another level. Wuwuwu.. but its okay, there’s one word call Hitam Manis – Black Beauty! Wakakakakaka…

dd=.=bb
That’s conclude my Island travelogue. The next entry should be on some food hunt that we had in Sabah. I know STP sure waiting for it. Hehehe…. Sorry to keep you waiting. Its gonna be up very soon!


The truth about the crying panda

17

August

Good morning everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its 9am in the morning, I feel sorry for posting the potong steam post last night.. its proven you concern about this cute fat panda, else it wont potong your steam rite? kekeke..

Let’s make it short, cos I’m going out for food hunt with the makan maniacs!

Remember i mentioned in the last post, I can’t live without a camera and camera is my soul???

The greatest lost that I made during my KK trip was, my digital camera ixus 70 went sotplug, it has high fever, and could not function properly. I’ve send it to ICU as it was pronounced coma, anyway it might cost me a few hundred bucks and cannot guarantee that it can be totally fixed so I ended up I got myself a new camera, Ixus 860IS cos I cannot tahan living without a digital compact camera.


Wahlao eh……. So Haolian… Got new camera……..

I pay for it ok??? I sold off my N95 and pay in for this camera. Wuwuwu..
Anyway, I’m pretty fond of this new one, the 8.0 megapixel is more than enough for a blogger, the most important thing for me is the lens. I love this model so much cos it comes with the 28mm wide angle lens. I can take big awesome shots just on one click!!!!

I just got it for 2 days and since Vic ask me to help some photoshoot, there we go, let the new ixus860 to expose!!


Malang tidak berbau.. Accident doesnt smell…
And it expose till it jfell down on the road, and become kemek kemek

The panda heart is damn fragile. she cried badly for that camera.. but after some checking over it, the camera is still safe (at the moment).. even can take clear videos.. ;) Thanks god, the lens are safe, just the cover is affected.

dd=.=bb
Vic, if you are reading this, you should know how to balas budi… The RM10.60 meal could not simply replace the heartache of the cute fat panda. My future is on your hand!!!!!! Please handle with CARE! Is either you got me the job or you bank in RM1000 to my account and i give you this camera for free. :)

Arrrrgh time to go bath liao! Tata.. later come back will update the manukan trip. Sorry sorry for the delay ah!!!


Crying Panda

16

August

Goolooloo isn’t missing in action, but infact there should be something wrong with my connectivity, my laptops seems turning into the 256 era, while i just got my 3G connection at home, it seems like very good on the 1st day but not the later day and the worst is my wordpress account went wrong when i couldn’t publish my post, after several attempts, it ended up gone blank. So who should i blame this to? No one…

What i should do now, back up my things, format my laptop, complain the Celcom 3G service and retype my manukan entry!!!! So please wait patiently for that.. Sorry sorry sorry….

Thats not so bad, but why am i crying here today???

Hmm well, stories goes like this…
I can’t live without a camera, so camera is my soul. Hmm, relate ka???
Anyway…

I had a wonderful evening with Vic that we went to the most crowded Rojak and Ice Chendol shop in Miri. And I was still saying, hey.. see we are so lucky that we got the sit! Heng Ah!!!!


We enjoy chit chatting… eat… drink… and thanks to Vic for the meal, it cost you RM10.60 ;)

After the yamcha, we even proceed to see the new show house at Permy Jaya… as he just bought a new house there, so he wants to get some idea on how to renovate his house. So he get me as his photographer to capture some sample show house as reference.

Then…

What happen next???
Why the panda suddenly cry???
Did Victor bully him???

dd=.=bb
Catch up the next entry… cos the panda is going out for dinner now. Else the goldfish will kill her for wasting time. Hahahah! Stay tune ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
