T.G.I Friday

My 1st time dining in TGI Fridays.. Forgotten who paid the bill (me or brother le?).. hehe. But it was really well worth the money.

The pasta was the best dish that we ordered

Burger for Annette

Cheese balls... Best side dish The cheese oozing out

Taste great but not sausy enough.. Chinese saying 'hen kan'

Sandakan, Sabah

I totally love this small town Sandakan nicknamed 'Little Hong Kong' is full of delicious food from morning till night. Went there twice but still not enough. You really need a local to guide you to this places to find the most delicious food around town. Also the best and some say cheapest seafood can be found here.

Have you ever tried Bah Kut Teh Seafood.. Bah kut teh fish n prawns.
There are 2 kinds of soup that can be ordered.
The normal one or spicy 'pedas' for those who like spicy.

A very special mee called 'Tang giung mian' in hakka dialect with seafood (3 prawns, 2 scallops and 2 fish slice) all either thick or big in size

The same mee with Pork meat wrapped with Pork Skin and the famous 'Pi Tan' dumpling

Egg Tart with a very very thin layer of skin (still hot from oven)Seafood for dinner. Steam 'Lai Mang' fish, scallops, prawns n fried sotongs (squids)

The pasar in Mile 4 has quite a number a food from morning till late night. The must eat is 'You Cha Kui' and kangkung with sotong at tea time.

I have yet to taste the best ABC n satay in town ,also a very smooth Teh C Ping and 'Wang Jiu Tian Chi' (Frog cook with Chinese Rice Wine, good while drinking beer)..... Also forgotten to take pic of the best crab that i've eaten. Hope to go there again soon.

How Time Flies..

It's been really long since I last blog.
A lot has happen in my life.

Let's see now.. memorable events like James & PeiLing's Wedding, Kok Hou & Chui Ling's Wedding, Patricia's performance as lead guitarist at yayasan sabah, another Pulau Tiga trip (this time overnight at survivors island and also learned the basic of fishing) with Fung and his family and coming soon mesilau trip with colleagues. Not forgetting my 1st 7KM sunset jog organize by Sutera Harbour and Borneo International Marathorn where I only join the 10KM run. It was great and I plan to join more of this kind of events in the future.

Some regrets like yogazone y-fitness that has gone bankrupt. Don't even have any new news. Aboandoned in City Mall and the bank keeps charging me every month.
That's about it about my life up till October 2008

4D numbers

I put my car to wash on Tuesday. When i got it back, the number of my plate was missing a number 7705 become 7_05.
Wednesday morning a few colleagues of mine ask me to buy toto for tat number.. add a zero somewhere in 705. But i didn't care at all.
SDK toto rm200 came out 7005......
I told myself if it isn't yours it isn't yours.

Pulau Tiga

Survivor Season One was held here many years ago in Pulau Tiga.
This is my 1st visit here and it was the best pulau that I have visited so far (better than Pulau Sapi)
Snorkelling was great there. It was my 1st time snorkelling very far out to the sea. Can see fishes and corals but everything was blur to me as I didn't have contact lens.
Not much visitor during our trip here. So we had most of the beach to our own.



Crystal clear water

Is called Pulau Tiga because there will be 2 river that cuts the island (maybe during high tide) to become 3 island

There's a mud bath 1-2km walk from the beach

SMS Scam still lives

I thought these SMS scams have long gone but these people changed a little tactics by using a local company and Malay language.

The content of SMS i receive:

Does anyone one to try the number and see where it is send from.??

Christmas gift exchange at workplace

My 1st year joining a Christmas gift exchange event. A few simple guidelines was made so that all the gifts received and given are considered fair to everyone.

1. Gifts are to be above RM15
2. Unisex presents ( Can be used by male or female)
3. Non consumable items
4. Price tag or receipt should be wrapped together with the gift

After searching high and low, I bought a ready made gift from Bodyshop. Quite simple with 3 face towel wrapped in a basket with Merry Christmas wordings.

The day came for the exchanging of gifts. As told by some of my colleagues, a game of exchanging gifts was held.
The game is quite simple to play. Gifts that are open can be stolen.

1. Everyone gathered takes a number.
2. 1st person picks a gift on the table and opens it.
3. 2nd person can choose to steal from 1st person or pick a new gift to open.
4. If the 2nd person decides to steal, then 1st person have to pick a new gift
5. Gifts can be stolen 3 times only. After the 3rd time, the gift will be with its new owner.
6. Gift stolen cannot steal back by same person.
7. 1st and 2nd player gets a chance to steal gifts after the round finishes.

What present i lost. A stylish clock, RM20 Giant gift voucher, a 'hugging couple' to put salt and pepper, a small pillow and a Cadbury full of chocolate ( a forbidden gift coz is edible).

I finally got a Sheaffer pen.
