: : Springcleaning Attempt : :

Going to be posting again. Yes yes, I heard the plea that was on the Tagboard.com although being the last hope of all overseas students is too big a burden to shoulder. Sorry chaps. You just have to take whatever postings I’m putting up.

And yet again, I’m going to be cleaning up this entire website. It still looks too much of a mess. Links needs updating – there are so many new food blogs in Malaysia and Asia.

Unlawful picture linking – bandwidth stealing is also an issue. I get referral links from emails and forum postings. This is not a Creative Commons site anymore. Pictures are not to be distributed but for viewing.

And probably a few other tips and tricks that I can do to spice up this website a bit. I think I know what to do next. Just need time. A lot of time. 🙁

: : Free Pasta ~ A little taste : :

Salesgal : Auntie auntie come come! Try some pasta! With Prego sauce! Very good one.

Granny : Eh! How you know we like one?

Salesgal : Aiya! I see you buy Campbell soup. If you can eat that, for sure can eat pasta one. Not many people eat pasta.

Granny : Smell good lah. What you put inside?

Salesgal : Some chicken. Pasta is behind me one.

Granny : Nice. Next time, I make for you.

Wena : Errrm…ok.

(Actually her Chinese cooking is a lot better than her Western cooking but I didn’t have the heart to tell her.)

Sidenote : Trying out Flickr.com for the first time. Need to move some of the bandwidth to somewhere else. And no, the photos are not a Creative Common license.

And yes, I’m seriously impressed by the picture quality from a Sony Ericsson W800i. It’s just short of amazing.

: : Food, Wine & Music : :

Ok, not exactly a posh meal but it was a great way to unwind and just hang out with some colleagues. Also, I got to try out my new camera handphone, the Sony Ericsson W800i. The original size is 1632 x 1224 pixels, resized and edited to 400 pixel width. I’m impressed with the picture quality although an image stabilizer would have helped. Some pictures could not be used because it was too blur.

Oh, the restaurant was Koreana Restaurant in front of Hilton Hotel. The best korean restaurant in Kuching so far. Great for a private function with Karaoke sets for those who want to be happy and merry.

An innocent little teapot? Although, the little shot glass isn’t as innocent. We all had some Korean shoju after a tough day at work.

Korean Colleague #1 : Korean tradition is 1st glass, MUST finish all.

Korean Colleague #2 : Aaahhhh sh*t, Yes yes.

Note : Korean colleague #2 usually says sh*t as shhhhyyyy i.e. as long as it’s not actually spoken, he’s not cursing. Hee hee

And surprisingly, the major ingredient was cucumber pieces in the shoju. Somehow, it got rid of the bitter aftertaste completely. Reminds me of how Pimms is served with cucumber sticks. Yum.

Korean Colleague #2 : You know, ah. Korean scientist do research on SARS (disease). North Korea and South Korea no infection. Why? Because we all eat kimchi!

Kimchi, the fermented and spicy pickled salad similar to the German sauekraut. Never did find out whether he was serious or not.

However, just to be safe, he ordered Kimchi Soup too!!

And, with any Korean meal, we had grilled beef and bacon ala hotplate. It even has a small outlet for drip oil.

With loads of chilli flavour veggies all around. That never changes. The Koreans have cast iron stomachs.

And we all got back home before midnite!

: : Toy oh boy! : :

My new toy. Worth every penny. Just don’t tell me how much it’ll cost 6 months down the road.

Both pictures were downloaded and resized from GSM Arena review who in turn got these original from Sony-Ericcson. Much as I like Nokia, their N90 just doesn’t take as nice a pictures (comparison).

And yeah, I know I should blog again. Soon!
