: : Laksa, Done : :

Afternoon. Emails at work.

Florence : Hey! Do you happen to know where I can get some good laksa paste?

Wena : Yeah! I usually get them from Goh Say Lak. Swallow brand, blue bird. Heard that the manufacturing place is somewhere at Green Road but dunno where.

Florence : Okay! Going to buy some and try making it. 🙂

She reminded me that I needed to get some laksa paste for Jas. Unfortunately, very tight schedule tonite so called up Jack to help me buy it. He went to the house where the family makes it. Got me 10 packets.

8:30 p.m. Jack’s house. Not at home but his son is there.

Rex : Feeling hungry lah.

Wena : Are you guys going out for dinner? I haven’t had mine either. JOJO’s cafe?

Fiona : There? Not nice lah. How come you guys like it?

Wena : Taste is different mah.

Rex : How about kueh chap?

Wena : Can also.

So, we walked to the famous Kueh Chap stall at Green Road tonite.

Tasted so goooooooooooooooooooooddddd. Gotta find a way to make it for my sister.

Alarm clock : RRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

Handphone ringing. Min Yen on the line.

Wena : (sleepily) I’m up, I’m up, I’m up, I’m up, I’m up, I’m up.

Min Yen : Wena, I’m on my way back from airport.

Wena : Okay. On the way there.

At Min Yen’s place.

Min Yen : Here. Some langsat and coconut for you. (She gave me 4!!!)

Wena : Wah! Thanks. Granny would like them.

6:15 a.m.

On the road.

Min Yen : Aik! Forgot to pass you the envelope!

Wena : Ok, ok. We turn back to get it.

6:20 a.m.

Min Yen’s handphone ringing. Her Dad at the airport.

Min Yen : On the way now.

Wena : Hahaha!

Back home to drop off the fruits.

Granny : Aiyo! So many coconuts!

Wena : Min Yen give mah. Enjoy it. Have to go to work now. Bye!

Granny : 😀

On the way to work, I stopped by the coffee shop to buy some kolo kway teow. Tasted really nice with the red char siew sauce inside. Unfortunately, had to use my ornamental chopsticks to eat it. Forgot that I did not have a pair at the office. Haha!

Went out this evening to get some Laksa paste but they ran out at the Goh Say Lak! ARRRRGGGHHH!!! Oh well. On another note, I change the Guestmap again after finding a nicer one at Tarlia’s site.

Going to knock off early tonite. Got caught in the rain yesterday and suddenly not feeling well tonite. Maybe flu. Sigh.

: : Sunflower Deli : :

Someone ask me about a few months back for pictures of bakery goods. Was it ruach? Or someone else? Anyway, can’t remember but managed to take pics yesterday when I went to get some lunch.

Sunflower Deli is one of the more popular bakeries around in Kuching. Famous for it’s scones and interesting baking goods, it’s visited by young and old. I went to the Tabuan Laru branch as it was nearer to my house. Anyway, the pictures speak for themselves.

Some of the fare found there. There were a lot more but was too hungry and wanted to just get some stuff to go.

Once back home, I found out that Granny also bought some stuff from there. Her driver? The pipeman lah! With his rickety old van. Luckily, they didn’t go very far so it wasn’t too bad. Anyway, she bought a chicken roll from the cashier counter (where all the new baking stuff were displayed). Had that for lunch instead. The other stuff I bought went to pipeman and his men for their tea-time snack. 🙂

Phew! Tired now. Came back from a wedding dinner. Pics will be up later. Perhaps some amusing videos as well. No pics of Wena though. :p Anyway, have to snooze as need to wake up early to send Min Yen to the airport in the wee hours of the morning. 🙂

: : Trip to the USA : :

Yay! Got my passport today from Garnet and Jack. They took it back from KL for me. Woohoo! And I got a decent period on it too!

Things to do before going :

Check with boss if can go on leave for 2 weeks. DONE

Confirm ticket to go. DONE

Confirm accomodation in KL over weekend. DONE. Yes, I’m there again. And hopefully this time I do not do something stupid like deleting pictures AGAIN!

Packing. Gulp!

Get food stuff for sister. Especially LAKSA! Will try to sneak Granny’s sambal over as well.

Get food recipes from Gwen, Auntie Maria and Sina’!!

Buy sarongs for Auntie Sandie.

Oi! Woman! Anything else I missed out?

The worst part of the trip is that I’m going to be arriving in Kuching on Christmas Day, totally zonked out and have to go and attend a wedding on 26 December. Aiyo!
