3 days Off – Boring and Getting More Bored!

-

So what did I do during the 3 days off? Let me see.. On Saturday, went for lunch at Everise 4 ½ miles at a Chinese stall. Well, it is indeed a true China type of Chinese stall! I can’t read the menu (of course!) and just pointed at the picture to tell them what I want.

When the food arrives, they serve 7 small bowls + 1 big bowl of noodles. First thought is “Oh no, this would sure cost me at least 10 bucks per bowl!”. Second impression is “Not bad”. Third impression is “I’ll definitely come here again!”. Total damage spend for the day is RM13 (2 plates of this noodles and 2 big ball of kueh, can’t remember the name). RM6 per plate doesn’t sound too pricey actually because amongst the meal in that 7 bowls are drumstick, pork, vegetables, ‘tauhu’, dried chilies and sauces. OK, when I go there again, I’ll snap some photos.

Sunday, as usual went to St. Mark’s church with BF. It seems to be pretty standard of going for BM subtitle mass. I still prefer English mass. Then, went for the super expensive fast food of RM6.70 per plate at Expert, MJC. All I took is vegetable, 3 super small piece of meat and ½ piece of eggs. I grade the food just OK but I grade the price as “NEVER GOING TO EAT THERE AGAIN”. Well, I ate a super amazing and tasty yet unique noodles for only RM6, so why is that the super normal fast food could cost more than the super unique noodles?? Some businessman just likes to ‘kill’ their customer’s wallet!

Hhmm, sound like I’m babbling around again with my bored life to everyone. Monday is even bored. Found a love novels while cleaning up and manage to finish the whole novel in 3 hours. Then, went for kolo mee as brunch. Well, after 2 days of damage to my wallet, Kolo mee is the cheapest food in town, don’t you agree? Then, went for almost the whole 3rd mile + Hui Sing to look for Star fruits. All I get is 2 ‘cha sio ‘ pau as I can’t find any star fruits.

Then in the afternoon, correcting my own grammar in my technical paper. The rest of the days is just super bored historical day for DD.

Can anyone give me any suggestion to turn my dully unpaid leave into something interesting yet saving my wallet from the damages? Hahaha!!

The First Confession - St. Mark's Church, Batu Kawa

Last Sunday is BF day of signing the "Book of Life" (I think that's what they call it). From the time table list, it is known as the "First Confession" day... Well, I translate directly the meaning since it's in BM. Hehehe... We arrived there at around 9am. Not many people there that time but there are people setting up stall to sell some food after the church service. BF told me that he had not had any breakfast yet and I nag him. Whahahaha! I had to sit separately from BF and dad since I'm not the godfather. Church service starts at 9.30pm. While waiting for the mass, I took pictures all around the church . Are they dreaming?? I took some picture when they signed the book. Well, I'm the only photographer that day. One thing different between St. Mark and my church is that during this kind of occasion is that in my church, there will be more than 1 photographers going all round taking photos or filming the whole occasion. I guess Father Lim like

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

'Ma Li Chai'/'Mani Chai', also known as Cangkuk Manis

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few
