Goodbye 2011

So today is the last day of 2011, and boy does time just fly by so quickly.  Unlike previous years somehow I felt that 2010 & 2011 really zip me by quickly.  Maybe I’m more occupied with stuff, either that I’m trying to chase after time.  Whatever the reason may be, I will be looking forward to 2012.  And who knows things will turn out much better compared to the previous years.

Not to say that 2011 was bad, but indeed this year I had a lot of opportunity that was sort of laid in front of me.  But due to bad time management, I had to drop out on a few.  But never the less, God is good and all I need to do is to put my faith in Him more.

This year, I did a fair bit of traveling.  Apart from the usual Miri for Chinese New Year and Jakarta during puasa time.  Both places are indeed a great getaway from the normal routine of my life from opening the shop and closing it.  So sometimes, having a break once in a while is good.  Never the less, I’ve also went back to Miri to vote which some thought I was crazy as it was only a day trip.  I remembered driving myself to the airport and parked it there for a good 17 hours, and just paid only RM17 for the parking ticket.  It was more cheaper compared to hiring a taxi.  Spent a few days in KL, while visiting my aunt and brother.  And actually went for a road trip to Miri via bus, plus to Sibu as well while following my father in law.  Never the less, it was a great experience for me as the long journey sort of was fun actually.

  Anyway, next year resolution for me is probably just one.  Is to try and finish up my last year resolution, and also make sure I handle my time efficiently.  I’ve also started a new project, which hopefully I will see fruits within the next 2-3 months and maybe will post it here as well.  Should everything runs smoothly.

  But all this would not have happened if Deluxe wasn’t there to support me all the way.  Being the ever so loving wife, she had sort of put my head straight and sometimes had to pull me back to be on track on what I need to do.  If it wasn’t for her, probably I would have given up a long time ago.  I guess she’s not only my wife, but my best friend whom someone I can’t live without. It’s really good to know that I have someone whom I can talk to all the time, despite having a good or bad day.  Thank you for being there for me whenever I needed you. I love you dear.

And to my beautiful daughter who is growing up ever so quickly.  How I wish I could have spend more time with you.  As for the past few months, when I had a dateline to meet I had to work till late at night.  And pretty much got up way too early to begin working.  This year, I will make it a point to spend more time with you as I know that you only want to be close with me.  And I will need to remind myself that I wouldn’t be that missing gap in your life.  So that is another resolution that I plan to do for 2012.

  Anyway, that’s pretty much about it for now.  Was supposed to published it on the 31.12.11, but apparently because I was too occupied with something else had to be postponed till today.  Never the less, would like to wish everyone a Blessed New Year and hope you all have a good one!


Excuse the low voice as I was still having the flu :P

Kuching Christmas Parade 2011

Esther in front of Noah's Ark

   I know I’m a bit late in posting this, but never the less, here are some of the pictures that was taken during the parade last Saturday.  And thank God the weather was great!  So throughout the whole procession everything went smoothly.  Not to mention, it was Esther first parade.

Family photo at Jubillee Ground

  As for Esther she brought her own bicycle, as Deluxe thought it was a long journey and doubt she could walk so far.  Being the loving mother and wife, she had always put others interests first before herself.  Knowing me, she would know probably I would collapse during the 1st kilometer if I were to carry Esther the whole time, so she thought using the bicycle was a great idea, and wouldn’t take up too much space.

Esther on her ride

  Probably it was a great experience for Esther, as she seems to enjoyed herself.  But I got to say, that the police did a great job in closing up the road this year.  As I recalled the previous year, cars were actually included in the procession. So thank you PDRM for doing a job well done!  Anyway, after the long walk my legs were pretty much busted, and had problems walking due to the pain.  Here’s the results for not walking for a very long time already.

Casualty of war

Anyway, the next picture is probably the best shot that was taken during that night.  Expression from these two girls were priceless!  Have a nice day.

Year End Coming

  In another 8 days time, it would be Christmas.  Followed by another 15 days from today, we will be expecting 2011 to end and welcome 2012.  This year has sort of been zooming by so quickly that just realized how time really waits for no man.

  This year has been one wild ride I suppose.  As so many things happened, which I never really wanted to post it up as I felt that it would be best to keep it to oneself.  But God is good, and indeed His blessing over my family has been really good.  Especially for those who were close and dearest to us, we saw God did amazing things.  God is good all the time, even in times of difficulties.

Laksa With My Boss Dennis

  In 2011, I’ve sort of made more friends, as well as reconnecting with old friends whom I have not seen in ages.  Probably this year could have been a I would say a social year for me.  And I’m not talking about facebook, but instead really meeting up old friends whom I’ve lost touched over the years.  But it’s good actually, that I was able to do so.

  Anyway, not sure what else to write in here.  As I’m getting a bit old of not knowing what to write.  But overall, I want to say that God is good, and indeed at times I don’t see Him in my life.  He always showed wisdom and His love through the love of my life Deluxe.  Indeed, through thick and thin God has been with me all this while and He came in a form of Deluxe.  Thanks dear, for loving me even at times when I’m “unpredictable” at times.  Anyway, will be going for the Christmas procession tonight.  So hopefully will post up more things then.

Have a good weekend!

 

Breakfast Around Main Bazaar

Ok,  considering that I’m slightly more free today, I shall update this blog here with the things I have been munching on for the past few days.

Fried Kueh Tiaw – RM4.50 @ Attaphouse Kopitiam
RM0.60 for a small cup of coffee, while RM1 for a big one

  The name of this shop is Attap House Kopitiam if I’m not mistaken.  Will check it out later again, when I pass by that area later.  The pricing for the meal was quite reasonable, and the food wasn’t too bad as well.  It is located next to the popular kolo mee stall at Bishopgate, where they replaced Mdm. Tang.  So it’s not too hard to miss.

2 Roti Canai @ RM2.40, Kopi-O big RM1.80

Sarawak Laksa @ RM4

    You can have 2 of these at Waterfront Cafe which is situated right opposite the Amphitheater at Waterfront.  They serve quite a few things as well, but normally I would go for either their Roti Canai or Sarawak Laksa.

  So for the past few days, this was pretty much what I had for breakfast.  I’ll update more when I have the time.  Have a nice day.

It’s Been A While

  Seriously it has been a while since I last updated ever since of the attacked that I got from my site.  Apparently everything seems to be in working order for now.  Hopefully it wouldn’t happen again.

  So what has been happening over the past few weeks?  Been busy working on something and finally it’s kinda complete.  Hopefully there will be no more problems so I can move on with other things as well.  So Dennis and myself have not been podcasting for God knows how long. LOL.  So hopefully things will start to pick up in 2012.  Not too sure yet, but still trying to work out something on that at the moment.

Got myself Nasi Lemak 2.0

  Apart from that I got myself a copy of Nasi Lemak 2.0 DVD when it first came out few weeks ago.  I must say, I’m actually impress on how this low budget movie turned out in the end.  I guess there are probably hundreds of review on this movie already, so I won’t go into that.  As my mother in law seems to enjoy watching it TWICE!  Lol, plus I got to give credit to Namewee for including the Hakka language in this movie. So a +1 from me for this movie. LOL.

  Anyway, I think I’ll stop for now as I need to get back doing some other things for the website.  Hopefully once everything clear off within this next 2 weeks, I shall be more active in here once again.  I know I’ve been saying that, just that I seriously have nothing to blog about.  So we shall see how it goes.

  And another thing, I haven’t been really logging into facebook or check out the latest happenings from the news.  As I find it really depressing reading the news of unnecessary expenditure being pour out for nothing.  I went and check out Potong Stim Channel instead.  Kinda takes my mind out of things.  Still thinking if I should report a potong stim event.  Anyway, till then see you guys soon!
