RAMADHAN BAZAR @ TANJONG, K.GANU

2nd day of puasa at ganu, went to the bazar in Tanjong.. which is located in front of Istana Maziah, near Pasar Kedai Payang.. lots of stalls open for business but not so many people compared to the one in Cabang Tiga bazar.. but the place is more organized and cleaner.. I noticed that the ayam golek is the trend now.. almost every other stall sells the same thing.. in which most of them looks the same.. not that attractive at all.. come on guys.. be creative and let ur product outstands the others..
Anyway, I was still with my mission for a good nasi Dagang.. as the one I had yesterday was rather frustrating.. so I managed to find a few Nasi Dagang stalls, and bought one each for tasting.. pelahap kannn! hahahhaahOnde2 is a must.. nekbat and pulut lepa anyone? Nice bazar to visit by the riverside.. a must go bazar for good food!

RAMADHAN BAZAR @ CABANG TIGA, GANU

At last, I managed to find time to go back for berbuka with my parents.. They have been asking me to come back and berbuka with them this puasa.. and this is the time for me to visit the food bazar and get the local delicacies..
First location is BR Cabang 3 which is featured almost every year.. located in Losong, this is one of the big and established bazar where lots of people get their berbuka food here.. so many variety of food sold here I feel like I'm spoiled with choices already.. definitely better and bigger than last year.. with more varieties of food more.. and they even have a special row only for the drinks.. all sorts, all types.. u name it, u have it.. heheh..
but first thing to find.. nasi dagang.. and managed to buy one from this blur makcik who persistently asked me to get her kuih to replace the 50cent that she didn't have.. with her pure ganu accent, i didn't even understand what she's trying to say.. and at last she gave me this 3 karipap worth 50cent. whatever la makcik..
Bought lots of kuih.. murtabak, jelly, pau ikan, pulut lepa and all sorts of local food.. can't wait for berbuka with the family.. best2!
p/s: lost all my photos taken @ BR Chabang 3.. aduhhhh..

BERBUKA DIKAMPUNG

It's time for berbuka in ganu again.. freaking 8 hours long drive.. so very2 far away.. why la ganu is so far away? to whom it may concern.. cepat2 la siapkan LPT from Kuantan to Ganu quickly, it looks abandoned already.. takkan sampai election baru nak complete kotttt... gosh! please laaaa...Thank god the food is worth going back, and my parents still there.. Imagining keropok, nasi dagang and all local food already.. yummy2!

THE NEW IC

It's been a while since I IC is giving me problem.. the chip is practically damaged, and i need to replace a new obe a.s.a.p.. I can't even change my bank card, check my epf's details, apply for asb loan etc.. tensi betoi laaa.. so I went to JPN putrajaya as advised by my friends.. and it's quite a shock to me that they have improved tremendously in terms of their speed, service and processing.. even the place is so nice one may feel at ease when dealing with JPN.. the little garden, clear signs and very systematic service, I spent about only 15 minutes for the processing.. even I can collect the IC within 24 hours.. nice work JPN.. hope other departments will use them as the model for efficient service.. anyway.. happy2 dapat new IC.. sukaaaaa!

RAMADAN BAZAR @ PUTRAJAYA

Gosh.. it's a huge Ramadan bazar at Putrajaya, in front of MoF building stretch.. one of the biggest and most variety food bazar ever.. no use talking.. check it out for yourself.. definitely worth it!

MUKAH, ANYONE?

I happen to have another assignment to Mukah, in puasa time.. crazy.. but i kinda looking forward to this trip since this is the first time I ever been to a small town in Sarawak.. well, that's my first perception of Mukah.. small town with basic shops and no nice hotel..
NOTTTTTTTTT...! I was quite surprise to see Mukah as a small town with complete facilities and infra, what more with UITM campus and stuff.. really above my expectation.. anyway, I had a flight to Miri and later a connecting flight to Mukah, which we all had to be weighted including the bags before check in.. the airplane to Mukah was so sempoi that it can only accomodate 19 people, a bumpy ride with flip flop seats and very noisy fans.. what more with one senior pilot and trainee pilot that handles the very manual cockpit.. and later only to land right in front of a very small bungalow house turned to mini airport.. gosh.. what a scary ride, but an interesting experience for me.. heheh..
The town is very famous with burung waled business and one can see lots of the birds filling up the sky especially in the evening.. which gave me thoughts that if only Bangsar can transform those gagak to waled, the place would be more peaceful.. heheh.. and the community will be much richer..
Even the Bazar Ramadan is similar to KL that I can hardly find local food here.. NO laksa sarawak, NO umai, NO kolok mee, NO midin.. huhhh.. instead one can easily find, laksa penang, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, char kuey teow penang and stuff.. WHYYY? adoiiiii... Tied up with the visits and activities in Mukah.. and even visited the famous rumah panjang here.. nice place, cool people, good experience..
The trip back to Sibu was far more challenging.. the road stretch from Mukah halfway to Sibu is under construction so we practically used the bumpy and muddy road to get there.. really macam camel trophy adventure road tu, with lots of lorries and buses.. using proton iswara saja ok.. tabik spring to the driver.. heheheh! Those who can't stand the road can easily puke, like being told by the driver.. kesian...
Really one heck of experience for me la.. a good one.. and hope to be there again some other time..

MY NEW AROWANA

I'm bored with my current fish collection already.. so I need to find a more challenging fish to take care of so badly.. and wallaaa.. a new addition to my ikan collection.. the silver red arowana.. the cheapest of the family.. hehe! and the most active one.. I wanna start cheap first before I move on to the more expensive species of arowana.. and it looks positive so far.. fish is healthy, good eating habits.. and doesn't jump out from the aquarium as the last one did..
It grows so fast that in just a week, I can see that the size is getting bigger and bigger.. hope it will last for a while.. heheh..

BERBUKA TOGETHER..

It's confirmed.. a good friend of mine is cooking for berbuka.. yeayyy! I know for the fact that she cooks very well and it's quite rare that I can get the chance to taste the cooking and I couldn't wait for the berbuka time at her house.. So what's cooking mek?Sweet sour chickenPrawn curryFried cabbageAssam fried fish with kicapGosh.. sungguh sedappp.. definitely enjoyed the food.. gendang gendut tali kecapi, kenyang perut suka hati ku ini... heheheh

RAMADAN BAZAR @ KINRARA

A must go place to buy food every year.. probably because it's near my house.. and another factor is because of the food variety here.. Again.. similar photos like last year.. from rojaks and ice cendol to a brother with a cowboy hat that sells asam laksa, and nasi ambeng stall.. lots of food sold here.. but i like this one place that sells superb nasi tomato.. sold by this brader putih near the sales office.. I'm a fan of this nasi tomato.. another place for good food.. one will not regret!

SALAM RAMADHAN

Ramadhan is here again.. and this is the time for amal ibadah.. time for terawih prayer.. and checking out many Ramadhan dishes and bazars this whole month..
Wishing all a great Ramadhan ahead..

I HATE IT..

I hate it when one starts to:
1. question me how busy I am..
2. query me about what I'm suppose to do..
3. question me about where I go..
4. question me about how I should react..

SO, to whom it may concern.. I know what I'm doing.. you just go get a life.. and get a hobby too..

RUNNING ERRANDS ON WEEKEND

I just got back from Ipoh.. well, I've been running around for a one-day travel, driving my parents as they need to settle a few important matters.. nothing much to tell except that I found a really nice ice kacang.. the best so far.. it's at the Bagan Serai's wet market.. simple stall with quite an old setup.. but the ice kacang.. perggghhhh.. meletup bebb! Well, it seems that the pakcik has been making ice kacang his old life.. since standard 3.. no wonder la the ice kacang is so nice.. secukup rasa.. sedapppp... yummy2! Anyway.. a one-day journey to cover ipoh, bagan serai, back to ipoh, spend a nite at my aunt's house and back to kl the next day seems to be so tiring.. but at least I gotta spend some of my quality time with my parents.. That's the least I can do, but I like it... hehe..

WELCOMING MY NEW NIECE TO THE WORLD

It was quite a haywire morning when my brother suddenly called and told me that his wife is due.. and he was at the hospital with the 3 kiddos and noone was there to take care of the kiddos when he wanted to get in the labor room.. I just can't imagine the thought of the kiddos all alone at the waiting room, without nobody waiting for them, and my brother in the labor room accompanying his wife for delivery.. My parents were told and they are on theor way driving the car all the way from Ganu.. I quickly rushed to the hospital, and as soon as I saw the kids were all alone at the sofa, I rushed to them and be with them for a while.. all the what ifs came to my thoughts, what if someone pretended to be all nice and friendly and wanted to treat them for ice cream.. and they decided to follow.. gosh I can't imagine what will happen!! Brought them out for breakfast, and back home.. let them play and relax a bit, and soon in the evening brought them back to the hospital to see the newborn and the mom.. Thank god Mak and abah arrived in the evening so I can send the kids back to their home..Anyway, congratulations on the newborn.. still no name, but surely added the happiness to our small family again.. Welcome to the world our little princess..

THE FAMOUS SPORTSMEN

Sometimes it's quite difficult to be famous faces I guess when one doesn't have the freedom to even eat peacefully anymore. I was having a nice nasi lemak for my breakfast when I saw Lee Chong Wei and Misbun Sidek a table away from us.. who are they? One is one of the famous world top ranking badminton player and another is a living badminton legend.. and while they are busy starting to eat their breakfast meal, a few so called fans came over the table and wanted to take photos with them.. hahahha.. kesian tengah2 makan pun hafta stop for photo session.. that's the price one hafta pay for being a celebrity.. hehehheh!

MAKAN2 IN BUKIT BINTANG

It's been years since I last went to this place.. and heck.. I'm really missing this uncle's food.. and so does a few others.. Another round of open table, makan besar.. and check out what we ordered..Crazy sedapppp... No words can tell.. Guaranteed to make u go home satisfied.. and broke.. hahahahah

NEW HOME THEATRE SYSTEM

I've been promising myself to get a present for myself after months of hard work.. and today I seemed to get a perfect present for myself.. yahooo!It's been a while since I've been places to check out the price and endless comparisons on which home theatre to buy.. and at last I found one, very cool, sophisticated and up to date.. hahahah.. macam iklan pulak! It's a brand new Philips wall mounting home theatre system, complete with the subwoofer, a perfect pair for my TV.. a cool present for myself, yeahh! memang la mat Philips I am.. hahahah!
Next.. Wanna aim for Canon EOS DLSR camera pulak after this.. heheh!
