Well, that’s what I’ve been doing for the past few months. From pirates to Egypt. While in Egypt, I met some developers for another game called Faction Wars. Check them out.

Oh yeah, just got back from Miri with tons of pictures of new eating places, including an ice-cream parlour with awesome dessert. Homemade ice-cream too and cheap as well. There was Dad’s birthday dinner at the Han Restaurant and simple seafood meals.

I promise I’ll put one up tonite!

: : Mango Tree : :

Ok, I’m back up and with some pictures too! Sorry for the long wait all. It’s like my PC has decided to declare it’s retirement.

I went to Mango Tree about a month with colleagues for a farewell dinner for 2 of our workmates. It was a great night : great company and wonderful dishes galore. Here’s what we ate at RM32 @ USD8.42 a head.

The table setting was like so. The cutleries all had rounded handles instead of squared ones. My Sina’ (mother in Kelabit language) mentioned that this is the tradition of the Thai people to use these type of cutleries.

As part of our starter, we had 3 cold dishes.

Som Tum : A lovely raw papaya salad with lime juice squeezed all over it. It came served with some raw long beans.

Yum Wun Sen : Glass noodles with some chicken and prawn. Served with a bit of cut chillies and the required lime juice to give us a “bit of excitement”.

Tord Mun Pla : the last of the cold dishes combination. It’s deep fried fish cakes that was truly delicious. The sauce was delicately spiced with some chillie sauce, peanuts and some raw mango(?).

Talay Phad Med Mamuang : Stir Fried Chicken with capsicum and mushroom. Yumm… it looks like a Chinese style cooking but the taste was different. I can’t quite tell what’s the difference but take my word for it, it’s different.

Tom Yum Goong : Now what is a Thai meal without some Tom Yum Goong? Spicy soup with herbs and seafood. It was delicately flavoured and yet spicy as well as slightly sourish.

Choo Chee Pla : Deep fried fish with butter sauce and spices. I have the breakdown of the menu but unfortunately it’s not with me right now as I update this page. Sorry. This was a fish dish and tasted really good.

Gaeng Kiew Wan Gai : One of my favourite. Green curry with chicken and eggplant. It was thick with coconut milk but truely, wickedly, sinfully nice. My cholesterol levels definitely went up that day.

Phad Phak Ruamitr : Stir fry mixed vegetables. Again, this dish didn’t taste like Chinese Cooking but Thai Cooking. Something about that taste that I could never quite place.

Kow Phad Gai : This is the final dish – fried rice with chicken. At least, I think it was chicken. Like I said earlier, I don’t have my menu list so trying to guess what all these items were.

So, looks good no? The Mango Tree restaurant is located along Crookshank Road, behind the Civic Center and nearby the General Hospital’s Nurses Quarters. So yeah, I had a great time. Been back there 3 times already. 🙂

: : The Story of My Computer : :

Well, another problem cropped up with the PC. This time it was more dire.

Now, I can only see blue and yellow color on the monitor. Yep, the red color went kapish. Have to get another monitor.

So, updates will be later once I can get my hands on a new monitor. Can’t see the picture colors well to make any edits to the picture.

Sorry folks!

: : Mystery Rice : :

Remember the posting on the rice a few weeks ago?

It’s not glutinous rice.

Here is a closer look at it.

Figured what it is yet?

And yeah, I got my computer fixed. Had to change the power supply pack, replace the motherboard and replace 128 MB RAM which burnt off. Oh well. At least there’s no more blue screen. Phew!

: : Crash boom bang! : :

My PC died today. No updates until I can get it fix. Sigh.

: : Hoops and Yoyo ~ Aftermath : :

I had a comment on this posting on Hoops and Yoyo :

Hoops & Yoyo are not wicked and not annoying. They are the cutest things that ever walked the planet and you are in no position to call them anything negative!!

Well, I suppose I deserve that for not providing more information to the posting. The entire post was written in an American slang whereby negative words need not necessarily mean negatory comments.

If I were to say out loud what I put up in the posting, but with a smiley face and with a laugh to friends, they would know it was done IN JEST.

The use of the word wicked is not to be taken as literal but wicked in the sense that it’s awesome and out of this world.

As for annoying, why are people annoyed? Because there are events or occurances (most of the time repetitive or happens a lot) and it sticks to their mind. The word ‘annoying’ in this context was in the light of American humour. Heck, even the Brits can also used the same word in a witty manner or sarcastic manner at the same time.

Plus, I did say that I wanted one. They are seriously cute. That I agree. On this planet? Debatable because there are many cute things on this planet.

And I don’t hide behind a name like Anonymous.

Looks like a little jesting cannot be done online anymore.

Bah.
