All I can say, the foods were pretty good especially the satay and also the kuah kacang. Even the lauk-pauk were nice. But I didn't manage to take any photos of the foods.

Happy Wedding Day!

Congratulation!
Happy Wedding Day to our friends, Ghemilian and Sonita!

Both were my university friends.
And their wedding day also became our first mini reunion. Sonita and I had known each other since 2004. We attended the same school during our Form 6 and met again when we entered university. And I knew Ghemilian in university. Never thought the two will be together tho.
Hahahaha
That's life. You will never know what will happen next. Wishing the two have a great life together.

Goshhh. Met other friends as well. Been living in Kuching but still very hard to meet each other.

Now photos time!

Me and my foster sister. Haven't met her for a bout 6 months. Haven't get the chance to go home. Since we've been friends with Sonita, hence attended the same wedding.

Opps! Tuan Inspector Police! Bro-in-law

This girl haaaaa

We were in the same class for one year and a half.

Lower and Upper 6 Science 3. We were taking Biology.

Almost didn't recognize her. There was one schoolmate attended too. She knew me, but I just couldn't remember her name. 

Mini Reunion with the couple

And the friends

Good to see them although not all of them were here.

Glad to know that each of us have our own career.

Most of us involve in the education line.

 

Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak 2018!

Oooohhhaaaa!!!!!
Isn't this too late now? Hahahaha
Takpe. Gawai kan sebulan... 😉😉😉😉

Anyway, I just come back to work today. Been on leave for about two weeks. Gawai was ok. Just ok. But not so ok. I just don't want to talk about it. I didn't take photos. Only on the second night, then I took few and also videos.
Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak, everyone!
Happy Harvest Festival!

Birthday celebration

We celebrated my nieces birthday in March and also my cousin's birthday in April. Don't know what else to type. Am just gonna update on photos of whatever happened since the end of March till this early April.

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Happy birthday, Husna & Deeja!!

 

And then on the April 2nd, 2018, we celebrated my cousin's birthday

Happy birthday, cousin!

And both birthday cakes for nieces and cousin were bought from Mita Cake House. Loving their cakes since many many years ago. Whenever people from other parts of Sarawak or Malaysia come to Kuching, they always "tapau" butter cake from Mita. Seriously, there are all good. 

Since 1978

Mita Cake House

See what happened to the cake?

It showed that you have nephews running around in the house

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

And we went outing on the day before my nieces birthday. Just jalan-jalan jak

Tadaaaaaaa

I was my niece's kangaroo on that night

😆😆😆😆😆😆

GOOD FRIDAY, MARCH 30TH, 2018

Just finished attending Good Friday mass at Carmelite Chapel. Now waiting for my cousin to fetch me. Feeling light after the mass. Got to do the veneration of the cross too. Really thank you, God, for giving me this time.

Called my mom too few seconds ago. The celebration of Paschal at our village will be fantastic. They already start doing preparation for today till Sunday. I haven't celebrate Holy Triduum at my village for quite some time. Years, I guess, since am based in this city. Maybe next year or years to come. Hopefully am still breathing by the time. Hehehe

This year too celebrated with my cousin, Aci, and her family. This is the second year, I guess, since I attend at Carmelite. Before this I went to Cathedral. But then, I tried to make my Good Friday more personal, hence I found my place here at Carmelite. It's more to me time. Something like that.

The weather behaves well today. Hopefully it will be sunny and calm for the rest two days till Sunday.

Anyway, have a blessed Good Friday to those who celebrate.

Maundy Thursday & Holy Triduum

Have a blessed Maundy Thursday!

Aaaaa.... Feeling overwhelmed. And in the same time feeling sad for it almost comes to an end... And feeling empty.....

Nonetheless, feeling grateful for being able to breath the Holy Triduum airs this year.
Thank you, Lord, for keeping me alive.

Have a blessed Holy Week (2018), everyone!

Lent almost comes to end..

Good Friday falls on this Friday, March 30th, 2018..

Me? Am feeling sad. I didn't do much this year. Feel like I miss the opportunity to fulfill my duties as a Catholic. Seriously.

Crisis. 

That's what I called it. 

Am just an ordinary human. You can't expect me to be devoted all the time. 

There are times where I just don't have faith, I don't believe in anything. Not even in God. 

There are times where I really holding onto my faith. 

Feeling like a part time Catholic. That's the exact word to describe me and my faith. 

It's like a roller coaster ride. 

I have no ideas why people keep on saying am faithful to my faith. I don't know the "faithful" is referring to what exactly. Even I don't consider myself as one. I know myself very well. 

But I know one thing for sure.

I'm really grateful for what I am today. I always told myself, God loves me too much that He keeps on giving me challenges to test me. Sometimes I failed, and there were times I made through it all. 

As for this year's Lent...........*sigh*

I don't know. You know the purposes of Lent? Go for confessions, doing charities or alms giving, fasting, praying and so on.. So just lets say I only fulfilled maybe one or two of the purposes. You know it was like, before this, I went all out and then suddenly as times passing by, I went down to almost zero. It's kinda sad... Am feeling sad for myself.

Anyway, it's Wednesday. It's Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday) today.

It was on this day that Judas betrayed Jesus. Jesus got betrayed, just for that 30 silver pieces.. 

How materials could turn one's to start a betrayal upon someone else....

Isn't it sad? 

What will you give me if I betray Him to you? 

May this be a lesson to us, humans, too. 

And the number 4 always makes my tears rolling down on my face.

"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"

Whenever they sing this part during Psalm, I really try hard not to sob.

Have a blessed Holy Week, everyone.

Mango Tree, Kuching

January 13th, 2018
Friday

Went to Mango Tree, Kuching, for lunch today. The restaurant serves mainly on Thai Cuisines and mix local cuisines. It's a Thai restaurant to sum it up. This one is located at Jalan Crookshank. The one opposite Civic Centre. Not to confused with Mango Tree Bistro somewhere in the city centre. Not sure whether the place still exist or not.
Lunch today was sponsored by Cikgu Leha today in conjunction of her birthday.
Happy birthday, Cikgu Leha!
Thank you for the lunch invitation.👏👏👏👏👏🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

Now come the best part. Foooddddd!!!! Yeayyyyy!!!

 Let's take a look at the restaurant.
(Photos may not come to your expectation since I have no talent in photography and am bad in taking photos. Few photos are mine and mostly shared by one of my colleague, Christiane)

Before the entrance into the restaurant

Mango Tree, Kuching

The counter

Love the decoration. The Thai airs is truly liven up here.

So, the restaurant exists since 2004. Its already 13 plus years old??? Thumbs up for still being here. Seriously. It's hard to maintain food businesses here in a small city, some more here in Sarawak. The Borneo island, where I don't think people know our state that much.

Don't ask me why. I have this feeling for table decoration. But what caught my attention the most in this room was those elephants at the back there. Reminded me of Thailand. 

Please support the protection of elephants all over the world. 

First dish. I didn't even know the name. Basically, we, the local people called it "Kerabu Paku". 

But I think this one was done with the touch of a Thai. It has peanuts, chilli, onion, a taste of lime. It smelled good too. 

I think this one should be "a must try dish" when you visit this restaurant. Very awesome!

It was good. Seriously. Sorry, I just don't know the name of the dish. It had the taste of minced chicken in it, with prawns. Something like that.

Lets called it mixed seafood in sauce. What kind of sauce, I have no idea. It was tasty too.

Fried rice. This one errmmm, moderate. You can get it anywhere.

Mixed vegetables. I guess they added corn flour to make that thick gravy. Nice one too

Roasted chicken. This one was ok. Just ok. Am not a fan of roasted chicken. So.....

Fish in sauce. Something something sauce. Not a big fan of fish, but I still ate it tho.. It tasted good. Didn't smell fishy at all.

Tomyam seafood. Quite nice

Dessert. Mixed fruits

Kuih Tako

Its topped with coconut cream, layered under with glutinous flour and corn at the very last. 

It was superb!

Happy kids with happy tummy!!! Yeayyyy!!

Foods were great!
*Thumbs up to the chef*

*Dap dap*

P/s: Don't take this as a review since we have our own opinion and taste in foods. As for me, I really like the foods. They were all great. If you are here in Kuching, Sarawak, take the chance to visit and have some Thai cuisines here.
