Limbang

I always wanted to go beyond Miri...last year i went all the way from K.L to Kota Kinabalu..this year around I was in Miri with my best buddy, Desmond who was excited to bring me to Limbang. If you were to see the map, basically Limbang and Lawas is INSIDE Brunei and there were claims of Brunei claiming that Limbang should be part of Brunei. My two cents? maybe? not sure...but Limbang is unique for those who had been there..if you were to travel by road, passport are needed for crossing and the first thing that came to my mind that time...going OVERSEAS..

(Taken from http://nocturnal-mind.blogspot.com/2010/05/sabah-sarawak-beginning-of-end-game.html)

The last time i accidentally went over the toll, i had to pay a heavy price for crossing (literally) as you can see from the picture below.

 

 This time around , i saw a notice telling toll users to pay their toll in CASH and no more in COINS...probably  i did a great job by making "problems" within the two countries.

 Brunei Dollar...there is this toll in Brunei that you need to cross...basically RM1 is around $2.40 Brunei dollar

 Part of the border crossing...i was curious when i saw signboards with BSB..i thought it was for BackStreet Boys and when i realized it was for Bandar Seri Bagawan...

 What i like about this signboard...Welcome to Malaysia @ Limbang....overseas...

 When for mass on Sunday and the best of all it was in Bisaya...to me a mixture of Bidayuh Bau, Padawan, Serian, Iban and a bit of Tagalog..LOL......

Thats Desmond and the girlfriend ON HIS LEFT @ Klaudia

 Me and Him

 

 From Limbang....hopefully we could make a trip to Sabah by road....*crossing fingers*

P/S: New Semester just started...my last semester *praying hard i could make it*

Heights

I have this fear of heights seriously...funny thing is that i do not have the fear for flying..lucky me as most of my trips back home are over the sea and the only mode of transportation back home would be the flying machine with two wings, either a red or blue/green colored machine...

Im trying to beat off my fear of heights like that day when i went to ICT in Shah Alam..going on the Ferris Wheel... not a good idea tho...but took the step riding up the huge wheel...and it was not a pleasing ride for me..maybe next time....

Taken from the purse of Emma, she dared me to put her picture up in my blog...picture taken primary 6..LOLOLOLOL....but her face does not changed one bit..hahaha..."budak-budak baru nak kenal dunia"....

P/S: Is February...10 more days to go

Last Christmas

I celebrated Christmas in Seremban this year as i did not book a flight home. So i went around Seremban and the wet market for Christmas eve marketing. The best part of the market are shown below

 

YES, Crystal clear written on the board...wild boar meat for sale OPENLY in Seremban wet market..if this was to be in Sarawak....hello Forestry and Wildlife Control department...

It was selling cheap.. imagine 1KG of this wild boar meat = RM 8..cheaper than the domesticated pork meat or the pink pigs sold in the market that would cost you around RM 15-17 per kilo..if it is in Sarawak RM25-RM27 per kilo....wild boar is found abundantly in most of the palm oil plantation and it survived by eating palm oil seeds. The problem with this wild boar meat sold here in the peninsular, it is not as fat and juicy like its relatives in the Borneo island. So a few ways of cooking it..basically dry curry or "masak lemak" (not sure how but cook with coconut milk? )...now that was my first time trying on wild boar curry...

 

For Christmas nothing special from the kitchen...i did 4 dishes plus other dishes done by the rest of the people in the house...

 

First i did was meat roll?I am not sure what to name the dish tho...

 

Steam talapia....

Fried chicken butt @ Bishops Nose

 

Deep Fried Liver.....is it? 

Deep Fried mushrooms

P/S: Thats how i spent my Christmas

Working

Last posting was 16 October 2011...is been almost 2 months since i last blog....

Basically and currently working with the centre where im am currently doing my masters right now. Since i need cash and there is a scheme for me to to work "part time" with the centre while doing my masters. It is on a per semester service and once im done with this semester i need to reapply back for the new semester. The work requires me to work 6 hours per week, 24 hours per month with minimal allowance that i could survived with besides my loan.

What am i supposed to do is be part of the editorial team, editing and transcript  most of the thesis done by the student into journals where it would be published for academic purposes. A lot of hard work and patience especially dealing with students who are not so keen on contributing towards the journal compilation process. It is more of an open invitation and for almost two months the response is slow and poor..hopefully for the month of December it would be better...

 The view of my room at the centre...

 My own punch card where i need to punch for each time i came to the centre for work..basically we are paid by hours so in order to get a full allowance we need at least 24 hours on the card...

Since i started working..learning to save a bit..and the notice is just a reminder of what happened last semester when my whole savings was stolen from my rented house in Shah Alam...i know it would not deter those who wish to take but at least remind them that there is always SOMEONE watching from above...

P/S: Waiting for the day when my allowance would be bank in...

Updates

Busy semester for me...holidays, work, assignments, dates, meetings..you name it i been there done that....

Exams and Christmas is coming soon...that would be awesome...

P/S: Change of Attention

Holiday

A week more and my coming destination

P/S: First time ever and it completes my journey in all states in Malaysia

Westlife last Friday

The new 5th member of Westlife...

Last Friday, WESTLIFE LIVE in Malaysia..it was awesome :) growing up and listening to them during my primary and secondary school years has been part of me. You can say that for a guy to support a boy band group is gay...but to me is the songs that i heard and that is where I learned my English vocabulary  and pronunciation. Trust me it works :)

Me and my tickets...

The line was long and it was a bit drizzling. I bet that those who came to the concert grew up at the same year or generation as I was..the year of the 90's. There was even parents and older adults coming to the concert..meaning WESTLIFE is still relevant and has its own attraction of all ages :)

That was before and during the concert of the stage where they were performing. It was total awesome and they look and sound EXACTLY the same even after 10 years since the first time I heard them in my primary school years.  Even better than those CDs i had at home :)

P/S: Thank you Westlife :)

Friends

Is been a long time since i last blog...A LOT of ups and down...BIG decisions BIG plans..hoping for the best to come in life....is already my second semester doing my master in UiTM..planning ahead for the coming semester..at least im not that bored as i would be doing part time with the faculty...earning a bit of cash and supporting myself right in Shah Alam.

I know this would be a bit of a boring entry but of course i would dedicate this post to my close geng lepak malam2 buta while we were doing our degree back in the old days of 2007-2010.  To be honest my classmates are 98% girls and so i have girl friends to hang out with. Got this picture last night and how i miss them and hanging out with them like the good old days..

LEFT TO RIGHT: YAYA, ME and MERAN

Tomorrow would be going out with them after the long breaks and working and of course we do need a time out and getting all our gossips and stories to be shared :) this picture is beautiful :)

P/S: Friends :)

Heart heart feeling

Follow my heart says the Lord..that feeling is in  me since the day that you were here with me....dont worry, your heart is where I would be and you know what is best for yourself

God guide me...Amen

P/S: Step up be a real man

Kitchen

One of the places the places i always have a place in my heart would be the kitchen. One of the kitchens that i always look forward serving and plying my trade would be the St Lucas Center in 10th Mile, Kota Pedawan. I would be doing the planning and task force especially whose doing what in the kitchen to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The kitchen is big to move and plenty of space to work with thus making cooking easier in the kitchen. As you can see with the two pictures above, the space and equipment works well for me. Yes, you may say its not fine dining kitchen and all that, but for a normal camp cooking style, it works well for me.

One of my signature dish especially those helping me in the kitchen...chicken skill and butt...with curry and frying powder...deep fried...

And one of the must have dishes around for camp, normal and simple...chicken curry

That is why i love serving and contributing my skills in the kitchen...no one else who love to do it tho...

P/S: Those were the days that i was 150% active with youth activities and the church
