Yesterday Once More~~

Me and my family will be going to Korea on the 15th, and my dad's passport expired, and my 3 younger sis dun have passport. So, my dad brought the whole family to the immigration department to apply for a passport.


~The Immigration Department in Sabah~

We parked our car outside the building, then went into the department. We reach there around 9.30 a.m., and the department is already packed with people. We took the form and quickly filled it out. Because I don;t need to apply for a passport, as I already had one, so I helped my dad to fill out my 2 younger sisters' form. After done filling in the form, we all went to take the number to wait for our turn. After taking number, we manage to find a place to sit 6 of us. While waiting for the machine to call out our number, and we had nothing to do, me and my dad started to disturb Samantha. Poor her. The waiting was actually not too long. As the number called out are getting closer to our number, then the machine suddenly called out the number back wards. Samantha was impatient and started cursing. Then suddenly my dad took out his old passport and looked at it. Me and Samantha did not pay any attention to him, then suddenly my youngest sister was excited about something in the passport. It was about pictures of em and Samantha when we were kids. I think that was when I was 6 or 7 of age.


After taking a look on the picture, we started thinking back on the old days. Then I suddenly realised that the trip to Korea will be our 1st family trip to oversea. Then Amanda started to complain that she never went to overseas before and bla bla bla...
~Places me and my sis went to when we were kids~

It only took us less than 2 hours for the application process, after that, the officers asked us to go back and claim the passport after one in the afternoon. So, my dad drive us to the nearby town to get his things done. After my dad had gotten his things done, it's not even 12, so we went to the McD nearby the immigration department for lunch. We sit there till 1.05 p.m., then we went back to the immigration department to collect the passport. We then need to rush to the airport to collect my dad's business partner coming from KL, and had to borrow my dad's car to him. On our way back, my dad keep on saying how efficient the immigration are now. He told us that during his time, applying for a passport could take a day, or even days to get it done. Me and Sam was like OMG, it we were to experience that, we could die of impatient.

Foods Outside Taman Selesa~~

Been back from NZ for almost 4 week already I think. Been out to have breakfast and lunch for quite a couple of times. Been changing places to eat, just to make sure I manage to eat all my favourite dish before I return to NZ. LOL...


~This is the Shang Nyuk Mien, just ordinary pork noodle, but really nice~

~Gon Lau Kway Teow~


~This comes with the noodle, you got the choice of the combination of type of meat in the soup that go along with the noodle~


~Fried tofu, taste nice, but I had it nicer at another place~





~Pan Mien Soup, not boasting, but I still feel that my mum's Pan Mien is the best, but this taste nice as well~



~Gon Lau Pan Mien, a dried style Pan Mien~


~Another Gon Lau, I had it at a place i never went before. The noodle just taste normal~



~This one comes with the Gon Lau above. Not too bad, but I like the fish balls, springy~


~This is You Char Kway, you can't get it freshly fried in NZ, it just taste so nice!~




~Me and my sis, Sam, went out to look or a computer hard ware one afternoon, then felt hot and thirsty, then decided to go to Wagamama at Asia City to rest. We ordered the Ebi Tempura, Tempura style prawns, nice!~

My Finals Result~~

My hard work during finals did paid off in the end. When I was having exams for my 3 papers, which are the INFO 101, MGMT 1o1 and QUAN 111, I thought that I've screwed it. The paper that worried me most is the bloody Quan 111. I'll remember it for the rest of my life, cause I had a friend told me that I can pass the paper easily by just doing pass years papers. Eventually I did. Quan paper was the last paper I had during my finals, and i only had 3 days to prepare for it. I could do the pass year, not excellently, but quite OK, I mean, at least I know how to do the question and at least finish the questions. Then the next day, was the big thing. was nervous that time, but still feeling quite a bit of confident. Then went it to the exam hall and opened up the question paper, taken a look on the 1st question, I was twitching. Then on the look of 2nd question, in my mind was "HOLY CRAP!". I tried my best to do the paper. And man, it was quite tough for me. Damn! Then, went out from the hall with one question not done, I was completely hopeless to get a pass on the paper.


However, I've check on my results week back, and man, I was glad that my hard work was paid. I got a little more than pass for that paper. Mua ha ha ha. When I went to check on my result on the black board and saw my result, I was so so so happy that I actually jumped up and down... Ha ha ha.. and I couldn't stop laughing the whole night!!!

Ultraman Series~~

Lasrt night, around 11.30 p.m. like that, me and my family went to the mamaks, excluding my dad and my granny. 5 of us were hungry at that time, so we decided to go to Salim, where is the famous mamak stall here.


~This is the mamak stall looking from outside~
We went in there and sat down and started to order our food. I've order Madras Ping, along with Mee Goreng. Then my sis them all ordered Roti Telur, Roti Chanai, and Roti Tisu. While waiting for the food and drinks to come, I had my sis to pose for me for a camera shot.

Then our drinks came, and my beloved Madras Ping!!! Nice and refreshing. This drink is different from the Teh Tarik we usually had in the mamak stalls...
~It's refreshing enough ny just looking at it...~

There are quite a lot of people at the restaurant that time, so it took quite a while for the foods to arrive. Then, all four of us (of course my mum didn't join us in the stupid act...) transformed into Ultraman!!!!
~Ultraman No.1, Amanda Man!!!~


~Ultraman No.2, Melissa Man!!!~


~Ultraman No.3, Samantha Man!!!~


~And of course not to forget me, Ultraman No.4, Rebecca Man!!!~


Then finally at long last, our food came!!!! Man, of all of the food we ordered, and including the drinks, it only cost us RM 17.70!!!! My god, where can you find this cheap food in Wellington?! I don't feel like going back to NZ now... sob... sob...

~Mee Goreng, look so so so different from those "fake" ones you got in Wellington!!!~



~Roti Tisu~

~Roti Chanai~

~Roti Telur~

Dining at Dovish~~

Dovish, is one of my favourite restaurant in KK. We had then when I was back in KK on the second night. We had quite a few dishes, and some were my favourites.

~Sa Bak, a shell liked stuff steamed with garlic, man, tasted heavenly~


~Crabs, cooked with rice wine, and my god, you really can't find it anywhere~



~This vege, taste nice, but was not what I imagine to be like. I had this in another Dovish in Lahad Datu, that one is superb, but this one also nice, fried vegies, and had some dark soy sauce on top of it~

~Dong Fung Lor, shell like creature, not my favourite, but still quite nice~


~ Here come the main course, the ginger fried rice, yummy~


~Prawns, this is just normal prawns, just boiled with hot water, and the taste is so so so sweet~


~The size of the prawn~



~And lastly, the dessert, coconut pudding, one word, refreshing!!!~

Cookings at Taman Selesa~~

Been back for a week already.... And finally could taste my mum's cooking for 7 months or so... Mua ha ha ha ha... first my mum cooked pork leg (猪脚醋), yummm....

~Pork leg in process~
Then, yesterday night, my mum cooked me crabs... My mum cooked it with tomato ketchup, chili sauce, and with eggs.. My my, so so so so delicious!!!

~Just look at the size of the crab, it's much bigger than my psp~
~My my, what a big crab it is~
~And the end product!!!~
~It's just the normal crab here, and I've eaten a much bigger one~


I found out a very funny thing about my dad. Every one in the family know that my dad hated, not just hate, but loathed the garlic. He cannot tolerate any big sized chopped garlic in my mum's cooking. Thus, he now had a new responsibility when my mum starts to prepare dinner for the family, which is to FINELY, and yes, very finely chop the garlic. And it is how amazing my dad could chop the garlics into very very very fine bits, and it's finer than what you can find in garlic bread!!! And the most interesting thing is that he would spent like half an hour to 45 mins. to "refine" the garlics... Man, I really salute him!!! Praise you, my beloved old bean!!!
