All Souls Day

-
For Christians, we have days for the dead, which is on the 1st (All Saints Day) and 2nd (All Souls Day). As usual, during the all souls day or few days before all souls day, I'll be going to my mum's 'house' to pay her a visit and also my grandparents 'house'.

The RC cemetary is located at 7th mile. I heard that they have bought a land opposite the current cemetary land as there are a lot of people booking for it. My aunt couldn't even get a place and is now in the booking list. The cemetary is divided into 3 parts; for couples, single and kids. I feel sad when I saw that there are so many place occupied at the kids area.

RC Cemetary, 7th Mile

Anyway, I bought fake flowers instead of real flowers. Why? Well, fake flowers last longer and it will make their 'house' shines longer. I've often came to my mom's 'house' but not my grandparents. Usually we would splash some clorox on the floor around it so that it looks white and clean.


Yeah, I know this is kind of late all souls day posting but I've been really busy with stuff and work. Anyway, it's all souls day and I prayed that my grandparents and mom are united in heaven.

This is at Serian

Some words for grandparents; Grandma, I may not know you but I think you should definitely be a good grandma. Grandpa, I know you are now united with grandma. As I'm still small when you are gone, but I'll always remembers you in my prayer.


Some words for mum; Ma, I know that I've stupidly mistaken who is my mum when I'm small, but you will always in my heart. Sorry that I've not been at your side when you are sick. I'll always remember you in my prayer.

As usual, after visiting my mom's 'house', we went for breakfast a.k.a lunch at 7th mile. We ate kueh chap.


Oh well, there's a 'friend' loyally waiting for me to give her food. She looks like she just gave birth. I gave her the share of the kueh chap meat. I think I ate only 2 piece of the meat. Sobs...

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
