Seafood galore

Hellew peeps,

I love seafood.

Just the other day, I managed to go to "Bob Umie". Things do have changed and the place was uplifted with high permanent tents now. My most favourite food there, is always their stemed fish, cockles and crabs.

So that nite i went for all these...except for their cockles. Unfortunately, they were out of stock. Just look at the pics and drools ;p

The menu

The boss @ chef at work

Normally , I ordered the Garlic steamed fish, but for a changed we ordered Steamed Oyster fish...nyummzz...

Look at those big crabs!! Again, we usually ordered chilli crab but this one is tauchu crab...even yummier!!! Guess how much this is?? One plate of 3 big blue crabs cost only B$10.00.

Kailan veg with tofu.

Well, this cockles are not from bob umie as they have no stock so we ordered this on the next two blocks from bob umie. hehehe look how white the cockles were. ;)

Anyway, the crabs were the best. Am planning to go wif a few friends this saturday for more crabs hehehe...Bob Umie here we come :)

It's a new Baby!

A baby was sold to me today.
I could not resist the offer anyway
and so, bought her with so much care.
I know my baby will make my day.

Her skin was black
didn't bother me away,
Her golden streaks
gives me everything but dismay.

My first sight of her
was a love not a play
She makes me sway
and she already have a name.

hehehehe....

Au Revoir Peeps!!

A Jolly Good Tummy.

Hello peeps,

Have been eating out quite a lot lately and just in a week, I had a scrumptious delicious food cravings fulfilled. One of my favourite restaurant that I get to eat was the "Babu's Kitchen". Located in the middle of the Bandar area right behind the BIBD building, anyone or everyone who's been in Bandar for quite a while will know that this is a favourite eating outlet for the townies as they have food deliveries in the fastest pace of time compared to all other delivery outlets and with such large varieties of food, we just love to order here. Amongst the favourites is the "American Breakfast" that we lurve to have during our coffee breaks. Unfortunately, I haven't got any pictures of the food but here's the place looked like...from the outside hehehe..

Next food stop, was for big snack time and I almost have forgotten that this place exists! hehehe.. It's been a while that I last set foot here...like t'was a year ago ;p . The place is small, simple but relaxing and with very yummy food. Of course, everyone knows when I say, "London Kebabs".

Despite of just having it last nite, I'm still craving for it again..hmmpff!!

The last delectable big feast I had was today's lunch. Had been wanting to drop by to this restaurant for quite a while but it had been closed for quite sometime and now had reopen for business. It's a Thai restaurant and we had fully jolly belly after lunch. Here's what we had;

Steamed Fish in Soya Sauce, Kang kong Belachan, Tom Yum Prawn.

Pandan Chix

The place.

On the whole, I need to go on a diet!! hahaha...

Au Revoir everyone!!

~~I'm only happy when it rains~~

It's been a rainy day today. I still remember, I used to listen to this song from Garbage - I'm only happy when it rains. It's still a cool song though. Anyway, I made a few shots from my bedroom this afternoon. Still trying to figure out how to make the best out of the camera. Learning..learning :)

Nothing much huh! Good nite peeps!

Another New Toy!!

Hi again!

The other day, I bought an ipod classic and i love it to loads. It saves me from boredom during my journey to K.K last week. I had a blast from the trip and had a wonderful food cravings fulfilled!.But that's gonna be another story for my next post...if im free of course.

As for today, I'm delighted to show off another new toy of mine which I bought in Brunei, mind you, it's not from KK. hehehe..... I had been thinking to get a digital camera for the past 2 months but didn't quite made up my mind to buy which one. I don't want to buy a DSLR as its too bulky for me to bring anywhere. And I am no professional in this area either so an amateur camera would be fine. I do want to have a little of the SLR characteristics of a camera though, in case i got time to learn something about it. So after a long search, and a very last minute research on the internet...i finally fall in love with two cameras.

The first was the Canon Powershot G10 for it's quality and high pixels and the sort of slr style of a camera.

The second was the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3. Am so loving with the style and its small slim size.

After much consideration, well actually, having without choice, i tend to buy this few days back.

I fell for it instantly. It was so hard to find here, I 've been hunting from one shop to another for this model and finally found it in Hua Ho Yayasan. The Panasonic Lumix LX3 however was no where to be found as it was out of stock. the only model i could find was its earlier sister, The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX2. I figured a G10 would be a far better choice than that.

Alas, my bonus were not vain at all ;p

Fish Spa

Hi peeps,

I have been nagging my friends to try the Fish Spa for the past two weeks and finally had the chance to go there yesterday. My first impression was, "Wow! I thought the fish were supposed to be smaller!" hehe...they were cute though but i wasn't really expecting them to be any bigger than 'TINY'.

These were the "suppose-to-be-TINY-fishes" that feasted on my feet for lunch. Once you've put your feet into the pool, lots of these fishes swarm to your feet and you'll get a very ticklish feeling ever. We actually laughed for the whole 5 to 10 mins trying to get grip from all the tickles the fishes gave...After that, you'd started to relax and it felt just like having a vibrator on your feet..hehehe.. a wonderful feeling where you tend to doze off to sleep when you get to state of a relaxing mode.

Somehow, those fish were absolutely eager to have feets around. They were biting my feet non stop.

That's me and my friend's feet. As you can see mine seemed to be a favourite for these fishes..hehehe ...too many dead cells for them to eat, i guess hehehe...The effect after the fish spa is that, we can feel our feet, so fresh, a bit smoother than before and you'll feel really great about it. I 'd really love to come again despite the scary ticklish moments I get.

That's what they say on what you get from this Fish Spa.

So, if anyone interested to try these, it is located in Gadong, the same buliding of Micronet computer school just right next to TK restaurant, 1st floor. Just look for Skin Renew and you'll find your way. it's very easy.

Condolences...

Hi peeps,

Having back from a very short holiday, I've been getting two shocking news within just 3 days.

The first one, was a lost of an old friend whom I've barely kept in touch in the past few years but we had managed to say hi once in a while on the net. It was indeed, a news that took me quite a while to believe that he actually left the world. He used to be a "Penpal" of mine {a term that is hardly used nowadays since the internet and mobile text-ing has been very much of used these days} and he was one of my closest penpals, a friend who was very talented in writing, the one who would always sent me his creative DIY cards every birthdays in those teenage years. Once in awhile, we called each other to say hi, but most often, wrote long letters of our never ending stories. He was funny, friendly, and kind hearted and his letters were one of those awaiting moments I needed in those days. After high school was over, We wrote less and lesser after time went by, as we both had started fulfilling with our own life's busyness. He became one of those successful person who persue his dreams at a young age and I was happy for him. Unfortunately, I never did know that he had a health problem. How long has it been, how much he suffered, I never knew. It was devastating. I only knew after I heard the news and it was too late!! It was a big loss and I regretted for being apart on the latter years for not being with him as we used to. I hope he would rest in peace and his soul be blessed by the Almighty Amin!

The second news, was the loss of a dear friend's first baby whom was exactly two months old today. She passed away last night and was safely buried this morning. I am very much sorry to my dearest friend for her loss and I do hope she would be strong with all this that had happened. Keep your faith my friend and there's always a heal behind every sorrows.

Life is too short to be taken advantage of. Dealing with such loss was never easy and its best to make the greatest out of them when they are still around. Somehow it's not too late to forgive and forget to the people around, who knows our time may come...who knows...

Till then, Have a great night everyone!

Au Revoir peeps!

Penyet for new love?

Doesn't that makes you feel hungry?

Few weeks back, I drop by to someone's blog, in which i don't exactly remember who's blog that is, and read a review on this Nasi Ayam Penyet. It's located in Jerudong and as I am a regular at this area, I have always passed by this place but had never got the guts to drop by to try it.

Fortunately, I have friends whom, as I am, are food adventorous and they actually had gone there and told me the same review as of the blog that I've read on earlier. So without wasting time, I persuaded them to have lunch there a few days ago and i'm glad i did. It was superlicious despite of the long awaited service that they haven't managed to cope up with. The place isn't any posh restaurant but a small "warung" that looks isolated and unpopular due to the old burnt Thai workshop just right next door. In fact, it was in the same building, half ruined , while the other half used by this restaurant. I don't even remember seeing any labels of the restaurant's name but if you want to look for it, it's just right opposite of KTM Restaurant in Jerudong and you can see their green banner saying"Nasi Ayam Penyet & Nasi Pece Lele"..something like that..hehehe.

Go on try it, I'm sure you'll love it. Warning though, service is bad...it took so much time for the food to arrive, even when we had called in 2 hrs earlier to ask them to prepare it for us for lunch time. So many came for tapau, the one reason they could not prepare on time for us. Well, it's worth only $2.00 compared to other places, that is cheap. But then, for the reason of a smaller portion of chicken. The best part of it is, the "sambal", which was made like the traditional indonesian style- "grinded manually" therefore , that's probably the case of the bad service ;p.

The Diary C'est La Vie - Broken Strings

Dear Diary,

Something had bothered me and it was not the first time I came across with such word of mouth. My instinct told me the same and that was not the first time either. What should I do? It happened again. Is it true all this time? Or had I become in vain??

We, were never a “WE “ anymore. I left him for a reason and him, for one reason. For such an inevitable raison d'être that we could not do anything but to leave with such good terms. Knowing on each side, a promise secretly vowed, if things would go as smoothly as time flies, we may someday be together with god’s will , we hoped.

Is it just me?? or it’s because we were once “soulmates”, that I could feel him….. Somehow distracted to what was unknown to me when evidence leave no trails. I hushed the little voice that whispers deep inside, not wanting to believe, not wanting to accuse. Eventually, it came, blown the truth of despair. You never gave me answers, yet let me discover.

I’ve made my decisions. I tend not to turn.

Thank you for all those moments,

thank you for the all the love

and thank you for the care.

We may once vowed for what may be impossible…

it all ends today,

the journey of our dreams.

“Truth hurts but lies are worse!”

~Broken Strings~ James Morrison feat Nelly Furtado

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you,
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking,
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell something that ain't real

Well the truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late (too late)

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I cant tell you something that ain't real

Well truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before


Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

Revamp of the blog!

Hi peeps!

Finally, I've managed to revamp my blog, Yey! Not much of a difference (i guess) but it's definitely refreshing...for me dat is. Eventually, I lurve the "chic - on - the - couch" pic so much dat i just had to make some modification rather than to replace the whole look. So sayang meh! It took me a while to adjust everything as I am a total amatuer on this web design thingy but So far so good and i just need to add more widgets that i've removed :p A lot of energy wasted but hey i'm learning..hehehe....

Anyway, lots of happenings going on with my life these past few days. Happy ones, unpredictable ones, sad ones, tiring ones etc..etc.... but i managed to get on without ruining anything. Not gonna say much about it tonight ....maybe next time then.

So as for now, I need a rest. Looking forward to have another spare time to blog something here.. hopefully tomorrow? Will see... so in the meantime, good nite peeps...and Sweet dreams :)

3 Zero

Hellew folks!

It's a Sunday, a day after the big day of mine. Yups, Moi birthday in which Madamoiselle enters to another stage of life..with a big "THREE" written all over Moi face...hahaha. Rather than being depressed or un-psyched about the ageing issue, I was actually thrilled and excited about it. I know.....most ladies out there would not agree with my outcome reactions. Believe me, I was actually overwhelmed with the new erra of my life. It felt like I'm opening another new chapter, new energy, new visions of the new me!

WOW! How could I be so optimistic about this. I am indeed surprised with what I've been thru during my first day of "30". Unbelievably, I'm so full of Smiles!! You may think that I am exaggerating here...but honestly, Why would I be?. :)

Despite of having a status of being 'Single' at this age, I did not find it so worrying as it was when I turned 28 and had not gotten married with whom i thought i would finally settled down with. Maybe, my focus has now shifted and I intend to enjoy myself as much as as I should and stop worrying about things that I could not control with my own two hands. As they say, "AGE IS JUST A NUMBER" and I'm practically thinking that way now. Probably, my worries will start at 40, but for as this moment in time, 30 is somehow, like the new 40. I mean, hey! Men often says that their lives starts at 40. So I guess then, Women should be having a life starting at the age of 30..right ladies? Since Women naturally are matured earlier than men, so eventually our lives could head on for an earlier start than men. Agree?? haha.....

Anyway, I've been thinking of changing my blog to its new look. Something 30-ish but still sleek , chic and elegant..hmmm..haven't found any gud thing yet but it'll takes time. Sheesh! Wish I am so gud with this web designing thingy so that I can make my own website with my own creations. ~dududuuduuduuuu~~ So Vain!

Okay, enuff babblings for today. Be back again..in a few days..or probably weeks..hahha but in the meantime, take care peeps :)

The Escape.

Hellew peeps,

I've been neglecting my blog for quite awhile and I could not help but envy other bloggers who seemed to be constantly updating their blogs with full loyalty..hahaha...Honestly, I've been quite hooked with "face-booking" ...and the other things that needed to be done and so the lack of concentrating to this beloved blog of mine. So today, I spared my time to write something and somehow had no other ideas of what to say except to tell you guys the food galores that i've been having a lot lately...thus the gain of weight of a madamoiselle *erk* :p

Just last nite, my sister Oleev and I had a shopping to do and came across "Escapade". Sis Oleev was not a sushi lover but she does love the other japs food and so she could not help but crave for another Japanese dinner. Without wasting time, we head for "Escapade" in Kiulap. This is what we had for dinner:

Squid something..i forgot the dishes names heheh.


really! I only ate and dun even remember the dishes names :)



this i know..Chicken Ramen

Chicken Curry Udon

Matcha Ice Cream

After dinner, got back home and slept like a beauty *uhuk* for having such a scrumptious fullfilling dinner..hahahaa

That's all for today folks. See! I really haven't warmed up yet with my blogging and i couldnt come up with anything interesting yet. Till then, I'll be writing back in a few day time, hoping i could come up with something better than i have today heheheh :p

Gud nite peeps and take care!
