Memories, Light The Corners Of Our Minds...

Sitting here all alone, looking through the pictures folders a moment ago and browsing through the nice and sweet memories of Sibu, I felt the need to post these up for all to see... in fact there are many nice photos in my folder left untouched... hahaha... slowly, slowly I will post them up.......

Happy Moments....

Buntong Noodles For Both Of Us

Andy and I went to town for our dinner, I didn't feel like cooking, still feeling lethargic after all the "achooooo" and running rose syndrome.... Whatever discomfort, believe it or not, I still have the appetite to eat "full blast."  A bit tasteless no doubt but nevertheless, I still want to have a nice meal to satisfy my hunger....

With no plans in mind, we passed by this Buntong noodles in town and spontaneously, I said, "Come, lets eat noodles tonight!"

This shop is very special...during weekends, you got to take number.....

 

Right, we were the 15th customer..

clip the number to the stand provided 

and wait to be "serviced" 

 

in a way, it is good... first come first serve basis..

I salute the "ladies" who serve...

they have good memories!

 

I ordered this for myself...

"loe shu fun"

this is "an extra" plate...

 

Andy's share....6 pieces...

 

I took 6 pieces...

 

one bowl of beef stew... 

(I drooled but I refrained from taking....)

 

3 plates of noodles and the above....

just for the two of us...

Big Eaters, aren't we?

gosh... Andy couldn't wait to start...

it has been a long time since we came here...

we must come here again... 

choose a weekday, not so crowded...

As for the above, the cost came to RM15.50...

I think it is quite reasonable....

Sail With A Cruise

Going for a holiday with the whole family (my three kids and I) can be quite costly so I try to make a point that we can have a nice yearly trip, normally at the end of the year.  That is the only time my kids are having their semester holidays from their studies and we can have a time of togetherness during the December month.  For the past few years we have been going overseas and it was really fun, nothing beats the happiness of having the time of bonding with our love ones, right?

As for this year, I thought of planning something a bit different.  Instead of the normal tours by coach or going by car, I have started to search online for cruise deals.  It will really be something interesting and different from the tours that we have been to.  There are many cruise deals online and one I would particularly recommend is this MSC cruise.  The more I read, the more excited I felt and I am sure that my two sons and their teenage sister will be as ecstatic as well.  Written here, at MSC Cruises, they are fully committed to making sure that everyone in the family will have a great time, interesting programs that line up throughout the day and night.  As for myself, I will look forward to exploring my own interest and that very well includes the letter "F!"  FOOD!!  I love food and I have heard much praises on cruises that provides abundant food any time of the day and night.  Well, after checking out with these cruise deals, I will discuss with my kids and I am sure they are all for it!  Can't wait to seek out the costs and promotion deals......

Yearning For These Now...

When one is not well, the mind is like "blocked." This is happening to me.. I couldn't think of what to write last night.... All I think of is to sleep and laze around, never mind the dust accumulated on the floor, the clothes left unfolded in the room....(thank goodness, Labbie is still properly fed otherwise SPCA will come after me!)

Despite the "not feeling well", what lies in my mind right now is these unhealthy food below..

a big bowl of laksa to boost up my appetite

AND

a BIG bowl of jelly with ice plus lime might soothe my poor throat....

How I wish I could have that in front of me now!

Anyone kind enough to deliver some goodies to me? 

(Dream on......)

Quality Headphones

My daughter loves listening to music whenever she goes online.  Now that she is in the college, she cannot switch on her computer without lowering the computer volume.  Her roommate does not have a computer yet and my girl does not feel nice if she switches on the volume too high.  She worries that it might disturb her roommate so I thought of getting her a headphone that can gives her some listening pleasure.  She might like these Bose headphones which have the maximum noise cancellation.  Their prices might be a bit steep but then if their quality is great, they will be well worth it.

Why Me?

I never seen such an unethical man!

This afternoon during lunch time, Elin and I were enjoying our food in the coffeshop, chatting happily...
then we saw a couple walked in... a man in his fifties... well, nothing unusual about that except .... when he started to sneeze..... and guess what??  He sneezed RIGHT into our direction...where the food, Our fruits, Our drinks were on the table! 

And the best thing is...he had a tissue in his hand and he was not using it to cover his mouth.  Maybe he wanted to save it for cleaning his mouth after his meal!  So disgusted both of us were and we kept staring at him, I think he knew what he did was wrong cos he looked at us but he didn't apologise.

Gosh... this man ought to go back to school to learn about manners!

Ok... to cut story short..... Guess who "captured" his Virus?   ME!!  I am having a cold now.... if not for this cold, I wouldn't be complaining about him here, would I? 

Conclusion:  This proved that my immunity system is very low.... it only takes a Sneeze!

Thomas Cup Or American Idol 2012?

I have been glued to the TV since 7pm... watching Malaysia badminton players belting out with China and losing in all the three games.... well, as expected, we are no match against the China players, they are always one class above our own players...  kind of sad watching our players losing.... (I am a poor loser, I guess.. )

So "glued" to the TV that I missed the American Idol finale... haiyah!  I missed the 7pm live and now I got to wait until 11.45pm to watch Jessica Sanchez and Philip Philips perform their 3 songs....

 

The Two Finalists

Actually I did not follow much of this year AI... what I am more interested in is Scotty McCreery!  A special performance from the American Idol Season 10 winner!  Hope I can keep myself awake by then... lol...

 

Can't wait to see his performance...
