Chap Goh Mei

Outside the window of mine, there's sounds of loud fire crackers bursting up in the air. Almost got me a little bit of heart attack while I was doing my exercise just now. But thank God I didn't. Seeing that beautiful colourful patterns of fire crackers makes me excited like a kid. Just that, I had a feeling that it ain't going to be easy sleeping early tonight. It's the end of the Chinese New Year celebration today. Chap Goh Mei, they say it's a Chinese Valentine's Day. Despite what I say about the weather on Plurk and Twitter, I still LOVE Sunday! :) This will also mark the finale of my long weekend, it's bittersweet love. I'm not sure why, pero I could still hear this chorus playing on my head while I'm typing this. "And as we go on, we remember, all the times we had together, And as our life's changed, Come whatever, We will still be, friends forever. " Emo much? Could this be the effect from the slowwww internet connection? Vitam...

Finding 'The Place'

Image
Being me, I am always in the search for good food, good ambiance and entertainment. Somewhere or somehow that could satisfy my taste bud, my growling stomach. I'm always patay gutom or in other words, dead hungry. I am a food lover. Be it any kind of it. If you're going for a food trip adventure, I'm game, let me know and I'm surely up for it! Across border? If only my budget allow me to! Haha :P Since I'm always craving for the food that I actually miss the authentic ones back in the Philippines 2 years ago, here at my hometown in Sabah, which we actually had tons of it....a restaurant that serves Filipino cuisine. I have found 'The Place'. I wouldn't consider 'The Place' a fully Filipino eatery since they serve something like Japanese food or like that & Western food as well. Plus it is a Halal place or they don't serve pork. But there is always alcohol beverage like San Miguel beer (my fave! haha :P) just in case you feel like h...

Rawrrrin' Chinese New Year 2010

The Chinese New Year celebration is one of the most anticipating event (other than Christmas that is) that I look forward to every year. Since I'm the happiest when it comes to holidays, it's also the longest break I'll be having off from work. That is what you get working with a Chinese company. Unlike the year before, this year, my reunion dinner on Chinese New Year Eve were complete with my parent's and my siblings and cousin Elmer around. And I was the one who prepared dinner. But I didn't get to take pictures though. On the 1st day of Chinese New Year which also marks Valentine's Day, Dad cooked us dinner. It's been awhile and honestly I miss his cooking. It was a simple home-cooked meals pero it was certainly the the best V-Day & CNY dinner ever! And since I was missing and craving for yee sang, we had it on the day itself. I enjoy lifting it up high and mix it with a pair of chopstick with the rest of the family! *big grin* Our 1st Chinese New ...

When you woke up at the wrong side of bed this morning, you get cranky and mad over small things. When it get a little bit mundane on your side, you wish you could paint it with colours and salsa the whole morning away as if tomorrow never comes. And in this crazy life, through this crazy times, it's you, it's you, you make me sing, your every line, your every word, your everything.. . Maybe all I ever need is you, ISTAK. a non-alcoholic Malta beverage from Iran. I love you for your awesome taste of fruity flavours! Best serve chilled! :) My favourite flavour? Everything is good but I have to say Apple 'cause it tasted similar to Anglia's Shandy. Heehe :D There she goes again. Listening too much of Michael Buble's songs. :P

Colossus Cafe, in a nutshell

Colossus Cafe & Bar, a newly open air cafe located in Asia City is actually at the same location as the former Pirate's Bar. Serve both local and Western cuisine and they serve no pork. For those who are staying in Sabah, especially those in Kota Kinabalu area, or maybe if you are planning to come and visit Sabah soon, do come and check out my sister's friend and her fiance's cafe here in Asia City. Are you bored, sick and tired of the same old place? Want to chill and have a new place to hang out with your friends? With wide selection of good food and drinks and good music to accompany, I'm sure you would want to try out what's on their menu. Do drop by and pay a visit today! :) Last few weeks, I had the opportunity to try out some of the food there. Of few cooling drinks and chit chats, and not to mention, a few clicks here and there, we had this..... I like the taste of the food there cause not only it's delicious, the portion is just nice and filling too...
