Long time no see......

2010-09-21T12:08:00.002+08:00

after the blood test

"Good afternoon,Dr.N. Long time no see.Selamat Hari Raya."ko aku.
"Ya,long time no see. How are you?"ko tudah Dr. N nanya.

If it had not been for that annoying pimple somewhere near my tummy button,I'd probably delay my trip to see the doctor. Ya,that pimple after a few squeezes & pressings suddenly went kembang & reddish dan jadi boil/pisa. In my younger days,a boil was a boil. Ya a pisa/bisol is just simply a boil,nothing to it but after hearing some terrifying stories of how a boil turned cancerous,I thought I'd better have it cured rather than be sorry later.So off I went...............to see the doctor.
While being treated for the boil,I thought,since I had taken a bath prior to the visit,ya,why not get everything checked. Ya,pap smear,scanning of the ovaries,uterus ECG & gall stone ( it has shrunk)...............& blood test.
Since I did not fast yesterday,I was requested to go to the clinic early this morning to have my blood test done. Ya,that was done just now.
The last time I went for the pap smear was 2 yrs ago. No wonder Dr. N said,"Long time no see.." I think like most women,that's the most 'lembau'/''semadi'"/ah ya" kind of thing to do. The result of the pap smear & blood test result will only be known in a few days' time.How much did it cost me?Only RM246/- inclusive of the antibiotics& cream for the boil. The next thing to do will be the mammogram..will have to check with a medical centre here if there is a special rate/promotional rate.

If you are like me,berSendirian Berhad,go & have your check up at a clinic. The one that I go to is reasonably priced. But for the mammogram,it is only available at the 2 medical centres here.

Nya meh cerita setegal pisa, aku nganjung diri ngagai clinic. Agi mit suba,munyi ko bala kawan,nadai mesa ni ti bisi pisa..diri empu nyadi lutor. Tang diatu laban nyu maioh ninga cerita pasal pisa tau nganu lebih ari nya,nya nyu beguai betemu enggau lutor. Amat lama endar nadai ngecheck ngagai lutor for Pap Smear test,nyu ka 2 taun. Ari siti nganti ari siti,nganti minggu siti,nganti bulan situ,pengujong nyu ka apus taun,check punya check,peda nyu 2 taun nadai nurun check up.
Nya meh anang lembau nganjung diri Pap Smear & mammogram;tak semua meh ti tulih. Lama agi aku ke naip blog tu ari doctor ke meresa aku kemari. Enda bulih 3 minit ngadu ke Pap Smear taja asai 3 jam. ECG pan enda lama.
Munyi ko niang petunggal aku siko,pengidup enggau pemati ba Tangan Tuhan...gerai pan ba tubuh tang ti maya dah cukup sign,baka kawan aku bedau lama,nyu mati accident ga tudah tuai.

Ba iya......susah mahu chakap!!

Brother Wong

2010-09-14T07:50:00.003+08:00

Yesterday morning,slightly before 8am,my daughter informed me that Wong,the towkay of Lutong Cafe,Lutong had died earlier in the morning in an accident,self-accident at the Pujut 7 Roundabout .A friend who wanted to eat the famous porridge served at the kopitiam texted her. I quickly texted Lita to check whether it was true & she replied "Yes". From then onwards text messages of brother Wong's sudden death kept coming in to my handphone & I did my part in relaying the sad news,even to a cousin in Bintulu who,during the Raya hols together with her family had dined there.

To most Ibans,Wong's called Wung. He had a heart of gold.;it is very seldom that you find a coffee shop owner belanja minum kopi & sometimes belanja makan bubur especially when my mum was with me having breakfast there. He never failed to greet us with a smile & say 'Hi brother' to my husband,"Datin auntie" to my mum & "olang kaya" to me. At times,whenever he was free,he would sit down & chat with my mum & I,talking about life.

Brother Wong would definitely be missed by many who are regulars to his coffee shop;those who make his coffee shop as their dinning room/kitchen.

My deepest condolences & heartfelt sympathy to Mrs.Wong & children on the loss of her husband/their father.

*My mum & I went to Lutong to pay our last respect to the late Mr. Wong at his kopitiam.After breakfast at 2020 Cafe,we drove to Lutong. We reached there @10:00am & offered our condolences to Mrs. Wong who was sitting quietly at the counter,surrounded by relatives. As I turned looking for somewhere to sit,I saw familiar faces with teary eyes,those of my relatives & non Chinese friends.To be exact,bala Iban sama maioh baka bala Cina ke bisi enggau nyambut tubuh Wong.His children brought his body back from the mortuary @10:40am. His body was laid in a refrigerated coffin. Everybody has fond memories and has a story or two of what & how the late Mr. Wong had done/touched his/her life.*

"Rest In Peace,brother."

It's Kuching again for the long weekend. It's the same story..it's all about food & more food. We drove to Santubong/Damai for sightseeing since most shops in town were closed & made a stop at Santubong Resort to ease ourselves before heading back to Buntal for lunch.

Thanks be to God, the Carnival yesterday went well as could be seen by the crowd who turned up to give their support. The weather was just nice;plenty of good home cooked & home-baked cakes were on sale. The Vicar was so pleased with the outcome of the Carnival. Right after the Iban Service this morning,he thanked all who had in one way or another contributed to the success of the Carnival.

P.S*To those of you who bought the longans,I'd like to say Thank You even though the longans still had room to reach "maturity"/mansau-ness. For longan buyers,the proceeds collected from the longans including the ones sold at the church compound came up to RM330/-

God Bless your kind hearts.

Acara Perhimpunan Bersempena Dengan Sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan Ke 53 Peringkat Negeri Sarawak 2010

This year the Sarawak State Level Hari Kemerdekaan Celebration took place in Miri. Apart from the Perhimpunan held at the Miri Indoor Stadium which started at 7.30am,a Thanksgiving Prayer/Breaking of Fast was held at the city's main mosque on Monday night. Not only the Muslims attended but Malaysians of different races & religions came,too. Other than these two programmes,there wasn't anything else planned that I knew of. Tthere was heavy traffic in & around Miri during the weekend. Plenty of shoppers from Brunei as could be seen from the Brunei registered buses parked infront of the shopping malls.

The famous "kai chok" stall @Open Air Market

2010-08-30T16:53:00.001+08:00

Right on time..7.30pm,not a minute late nor a minute early,this steamed chicken & porridge stall will only start at 7.30pm precisely. Business is so good that they are busy as soon as they start. Most nights they only operate for 1 1/2 hrs. It is run by 5 brothers & 2 sisters. There used to be 8 or 9 of them. As soon as they arrive,orders keep pouring in & they seem to remember the orders well. Since I was a young girl,I have had been eating their food.

Resipi Payung Negara

2010-08-30T12:21:00.001+08:00

This particular kuih has a few names to it & one of them is Kuih Payung Negara(National Umbrella kuih,-its direct translation). I was amused when I first heard this... this friend said it was so called because it looked like the brown-paper umbrella that we used to have long time ago . Ya,the big brown payung which the men-folk would rather use instead of the more feminine flowery coloured payungs/umbrellas.

Apart from that name,my husband would call the kuih "Penganan Iri" while I would call it "penyaram". Whatever it is called,last Saturday,during our SIDS' activity,after the ngajat-robics,we were treated to Ajik's version of the "penyaram".

Here is her recipe for the kuih:

1 kg flour

1 packet rice flour

1 kg gula apong

2 cups sugar

1 litrewater

(Mix them to make batter)

Heat a small wok/kuali with oil

Pour small amount of batter & hopefulluy it will come out like what you see in the photos above.

It may seem easy to make but I can tell you it is not that easy to get a nicely shaped kuih payung negara.

Selamat Mencuba........resipi sudah ada....apa tunggu lagi!

2 iko 'tourists" benong meresa new eating outlets ba High Street,Miri.

Restrooms are available here

Nice restaurant

Kopitiam

Ya,there are 2 new nice looking eating outlets replacing the not so pleasant looking food stalls at/in the middle of High Street,Miri. I am glad that the presence of these eating outlets have kind of put life back into this part of Miri City. It used to be quite "scary" walking around this area at night after 7pm when all the shops are closed except for Guardian Pharmacy.

I have not been to try the food at any of the outlets above..harap harap lah by the end of this month,I'll get a chance to eat there & again, hoping the food & price is good & affordable otherwise it will be "Kai Chok" at the Open Air Market where one gets to see "speedy gonzales"(the rats,the tikus,the chits..) racing past every minute.
Yeay,I am glad to hear that the Miri City Council is thinking of doing something to eradicate the rodents though it would be a tough job to do. Good Luck!!

St. Columba's Parish Carnival,Miri.

the new throne...

2010-08-05T16:41:00.001+08:00

Not only am I interested in a sports called toto;I've got myself a brand new toto throne costing RM650+RM250 for installation. I had to get rid of two 25yr old thrones after cracks were seen everywhere on the water tanks. If there was a course on plumbing in Miri for housewives,please let me know. Now that the new throne has been installed,the surrounding too, needs to be done up. The walls need new tiles. No matter how hard I scrubbed the tiles to give them the shine they deserve,not even the so called "magical power cleaning cream" could do any miracle to a "beyond salvation" bathroom.
Like I said,I would not mind enrolling myself to do a plumbing course because the plumber that I always call each time there's a plumbing job to be done,charges very high after doing a job.He has given me a quotation on how much it would cost to put up the tiles. Very mahal & the tiles are another set of budget that I have to think about.

I like the dry kind of toilets,not the wet toilets like mine where all the washing & bathing plus "banking' are done.Nya meh,mar endar ngaga bilik mandi. Mangkuk alai 'duit" transit sebedau ngagai bank negara dah sekian ngemar nya. Bedau agi di kira gaji kena ngaji plumber. Amat tau di pelajar pengawa masang jamban enggau nge-tile dinding & lantai. Nya meh,enggai nyadi enda di ganti ga "throne" ke dah manggai 24 taun.

Rosalind Tan,DJ RTM,a school friend & kaki lepak,inviting me for lunch at MY RESTAURANT.

Last Friday morning,I was off to Kuching again for the weekend. I was supposed to take the 8:40am flight but due to the late arrival of the aircraft from Kuching,we only took off @9:00am ish...
As usual,Steven,the car rental guy was already at the airport to greet me & pass me the car key for my use during the time I was there.
Much earlier during the week,I had arranged to meet up with a friend whom I used to lepak with during my school days. We took the same buses to & from school. It had been quite a while since we last had a good chat with each other so a lunch date was most appropriate while we walk down Memory Lane. And so it was..
Rosalind brought me to this eatery called MY RESTAURANT. Since I had never been there before,so she ordered the food for the two of us. My,my,my..the food was delicious.Authentic Western food lah...An Austrian man is the chef there & he is also the owner together with his wife. I know where to go now when I crave for real Western cooking. I strongly recommend going there for fine dinning. The prices of the food are reasonable.Plenty of good porky dishes to choose.
Apart from the good food,Rosalind & I had a good laugh talking about everything under the sun. TQ very much Rosalind for taking me out for the really delicious lunch.Looking forward to another chit chat lunch/outing with you.

God Be With you,my friend.

Yeay!Thank goodness It's The Weekend!

Like most people,we are no exception..we love the weekend especially those who are working. Unlike most people,for me ,everyday is like a Friday,a Saturday & a Sunday. Praise God for that!!!
While there are others who would lepak at the shopping malls,swimming or at the golf courses to while their time away, the beach as I had mentioned earlier in my previous posts,is a great place to unwind.

Lovely sunset...breeze blowing right into your face..all free except for the drinks & food,lah!

Please take note.....

,,,that from next sunday onwards,St. Columba's Church,Miri will conduct/celebrate all church services at St. Columba's Primary School Hall,which is only a walking distance away from the church. The shifting of services from the church to the school hall is necessary so as to make way for renovation work to be carried out on the church building.
I thought it would be a good idea to take some photos inside the church for remembrance sake.
Let's continue to pray that the renovation work will be carried out smoothly & parishoners,all parishioners will continue to donate generously towards the costs of this project, in Jesus' name,we ask & pray. Amen.

Lunch@Excapade Sushi,Kuala Belait

2010-07-08T16:30:00.002+08:00

Finally, aku tetemu ke kedai makai Jipun benama Excapade Sushi. 4 of us went to Kuala Belait again,this morning. Beberapa kali kuang kuit ke KB alu nadai tetemu ke kedai tu,nyu semadai SFam bendar madah ke tempat endah jauh ari round- about Kettle,turn 11 o'clock or turn left,ko siko...Anyway,the restaurant is just another block away from where I usually go for breakfast each time kami ke KB. I was determined to give the food a try so I stopped there before 10 am to book a place for us. I was told one needed to book first to avoid disappointment as the place is small & during lunchtime the place is busy. So, I booked a place for 12noon. My name & phone number were recorded just incase I decided not to turn up.

Nyu ka enda turn up tadi..Duit tinggal berapa dollars aja laban dulu ngagai SupaSave supermarket. Nasib ga bisi money-lender enggau kami,bisi nyalie duit behunai...selamat lah aku..tercapai hasrat ka nguji makai pemakai ba Excapade Sushi. Pemakai Jipun,ba aku siko,mesti ka nemu makai iya. Ti nuan ka makai utai mantak/matak/raw,rindu kitai makai pemakai tu. Ti baka aku,enda ga ganas iga ba pemakai mantak tang ti udah di "tempura"kan,nya baru masuk agi nyawa.

Tu gaya gamal restaurant..mit endar.

We turned up about 3/4 of an hour earlier hoping to avoid the crowd.

Bedau entu sedia tudah..agi busy preparing the food as we're fairly early.

Wondering what to order or rather looking at the prices of the dishes is a must.. You know lah,when it comes to Brunei$,cash in hand is hardly enough,so a look at the menu is advisable.

Green Tea is served

This is how the menu looks like. Under/after each picture,you can see blue,red,green & light blue flowers. The colour of the flowers indicates how much each order costs. For eg.the Paradise Roll has a blue flower..so the price for it is B$3.00. I find the food reasonably priced compared to Japanese food found here.Just now we paid B$43/-including some take-aways.

Bisi sekali maya birthday laki Sebugey beberapa taun ke udah,kami menyanak makai pemakai jipun di Miri ditu..tak nyu ka RM700/- bebayar. Pulai ari nya,agi lapar perut,datai di rumah nyu manduk maggi mee. Jera apai,nadai agi ngintu birthday ba endor nya agi..manah agi makai ba kedai kopi Wong,kenyang agi makai kaki ngot.

Teriyaki Eel pan nyamai..nadai lah asai keli kitai ditu.

I recommend this dish..grilled salmon with asparagus

Mixed veg & seafood tempura is also recommended

Crispy deep fried Salmon skin..ti agi angat nyamai iya tang tu tadi nyu celap,agi ka rangup.

If you still want some more food,water or call for the bill,all you have to do is press the button. I wish there's a button that says $$$..enda ke nyamai,tak press button ke bisi sign $$$ & duit pansut mayar utai ke udah di empa. ah well...dream on!Tu meh cerita saritu.

Kada enda alah Oprah Winfrey laban aku ti semua daun nya di itung.

I feel loved.....

2010-07-01T16:13:00.000+08:00

I feel loved because friends do think of me when it comes to FOOD & TRAVEL. I received a phone call yesterday inviting me & hubby to a thanksgiving dinner at the chinese restaurant,dynasty hotel on Friday evening. TQ very much for the invitation.

Gosh! It's Friday tomorrow,2nd July..It's tamu day at Sarberkas & time to mingle with friends drinking bottomless of ice-lemon tea. & this morning,too,another friend asked me to join her & a visitor for dinner tonight. Tomorrow morning,it's breakfast with another friend.She has booked me since Monday.

This morning,a fellow traveller asked if I was going to join the Shanghai Tour sometime in late November. I told her that I would give it a miss this year after that "grand tour" to Europe last year which left a BIG hole in my pocket. Til up to now,so susah to "mend" the hole. "If you are not going,then I won't go. I,too,want to give travelling a miss this year after that "grand tour" to Europe."said a friend.

"MAYBE,NEXT YEAR.."I said to her,if the Lord is willing....:-)

2010-06-29T08:03:00.002+08:00

On a cold,gloomy rainy day as it is in Miri now,my thoughts,as always,drift to things FOOD & GOOD TIMES. I can even "smell" the sausages & bacons being cooked in the City Stay Apartments' kitchen,Perth.

Before we went out for a tour of Perth,a hearty breakfast is a MUST,not that we're not likely to have several food stops later.

It's good to have a guide who knows where to go for good food,especially the Dim Sum..Crispy Squids,anyone?

For lunch,it's a MUST HAVE Roast Beef at one of the foodcourts in the city centre.

For tea time,it's fresh cream doughnuts from Bakehouse, Harbour Town.

Mr.Jackpot,when are you giving me the $$$$$$$$$$$$?

2010-06-29T07:36:00.001+08:00

While surfing the net,I stopped at this particular blog where the blogger had put up some pictures of "to die for"

Corica Apple Strudel in Perth. I remember I hopped in & out of the free city buses looking for the place to buy it after Betty,wife of OKK Inyau served it at her house during my" long time ago in Bethlehem" trip to Perth.

The Apple Strudel would be nicely packed for you....

                                          so that you can eat it in the state as you saw it in the shop.

Rose,Flavia & Doris

Shirley saying a little prayer for Lily & Rose

The birthday do for Rose & Lily was supposed to be held before Gawai but due to some unforeseen circumstances it was only held last night at Grand Palace Hotel. The Dress Code in the earlier invitation said to "Wear your jeans,boots or anything denim"(I think..). Sebugey did not wear anything denim or "jeans"-ish..because I was undecided whether to go or not because of a bad cough. Well,according to Lily,my reason for not going was not good enough at all so off I went to Grand Palace.I was & am glad that I went. I wish I had worn something 'denim' because all who wore denim looked stunning. Never mind,I am sure I stand a chance to be invited again to some of the other ladies' birthdays,if not this year,maybe next year.(Looking at Flora & Sylvia (00) ..)

The beauty being with these ladies is they do know how to have fun. I was the oldest there last night & it was fun watching the young ones full of energy moving to the beat(s) of some of the songs. Plenty of good singers.

Once again,TQ very much Rose & Lily for the invitation. I really had a nice time.

I wish them both "Selamat Panjai Umur,Gerai Nyamai,Berkat Tuhan Enggau Seduai Belama".

May All Your Hopes & Wishes Come True..in Jesus' name,we ask & pray. Amen.

Breakfast at Kuala Belait

2010-06-25T14:39:00.003+08:00

This slice of cheese cake is a MUST if we go to KB. Nice..only B$1.20..full of cheesy creamy goodness in every bite!! The pies & curry puffs are something to die for......you can actually see meat in every pie/puff unlike the ones we have here where diced potatoes are everywhere in every bite.

My "happy" mum loves going to KB to buy clorox...not only 1 quart but 8 quarts of clorox because "so & so" gave her some money to buy for them. So altogether,10 quarts of Clorox di beli kemari.

Sebut aja "Kitai ke Kuala Belait" & I can see the smile on my mum's face after hearing what I had said. Nya meh baka urang Kuching ke belandik ke Serikin,bala ke di Miri belandik nemuai ke Kuala Belait laban nya "datai tikau",munyi ko bala. So off we went to KB yesterday..started from home @8.00am & reached there @9am,just in time to have breakfast at one of the coffee houses in Kuala Belait. Good food at this Coffee House & quite reasonably priced but believe it or not,I don't know what it is called. Anyway,it's somewhere around Pandan area. As usual,we did some grocery shopping & even stopped at the Kuala Belait wet market to buy salmon. Salmon costs @RM33/- per kg there..a lot cheaper than what we pay in Miri.

Weather in Miri is always cloudy most evenings & these shots were taken last night. Semadi nadai cerita di tusoi,munyi ko kawan aku.

A photo of longhouse kids(Ngumbang,tapa uchu Apai Jill, beating the small gongs) starting from young,providing the beats during the recent Gawai @Samu. Unlike in most places,only the male species are seen providing the taboh(Iban music) here. Most of us who live in the town areas would be sending our children for piano,drum or guitar lessons but at the longhouse,it's learning from the elders how to create the right beat with the gongs. Playing & listening by the ear,as they say,is the way to go..I don't think there is any chord or key for them to learn from.

The humble longhouse traditional kuih as seen above taste "heavenly" around this time..after the Gawai. My sister inlaw makes fantastic "sarang semut" but her Kuih Chuan this year is not as good.A bit hard to chew! Another lady at the longhouse makes "melt in the mouth" kuih chuan but she's not giving away the recipe. Some said to add some 7 up to make it crispier. If you have the recipe,please share here.

How was your Gawai?

2010-06-07T08:05:00.002+08:00

A scene from the kitchen where cooking,washing up & "popet popet"ing are the main events of the Gawai. This is where most time was spent during the Gawai. (don't know whatever for..it was as if we had to feed 5000 people the way the preparation,cooking & washing up were done)It was the same in all the other kitchens,so by the time the actual event was on,everybody was so damn tired except for those who came to visit.

He replied,saying that he was closing the windows & yes,it was his house. The policemen said they received a call to check on a suspicious looking person seen loitering in the vicinity of Pujut 3 area. Thumbs up to/for the POLICE!!

Countdown to Gawai:Medical Check-up

2010-05-22T08:01:00.001+08:00

Did some Unfamous choc chip cookies yesterday; a little bit too much flour was added in.

I thought I was going to die last night when this demon called "Vertigo" came to my life again this year. Ya,I do get this attack/sympton from time to time. It was while we were at the beach for makan yesterday evening that I felt the whole world was spinning before me. Hubby rushed me to the nearest medical centre where I was given a jab & some pills. The whole of yesterday's over-indulgence/ food consumption was deposited near the MCMC's back drain & at Sebugey's bank negara.(loo) RM202 gone in a jiffy!!...If you want to check from time to time if your spouse is keeping to his/her words: "in sickness & in health", that he/she would be there for you....well,one thing for sure,my husband attended to me...EXCEPT he thought it was BLOODY expensive having to pay that much...
So folks,a lesson learned..do not forget to go for check- ups & all your ubat ready before you head back to the longhouse/longhouses.

Countdown to Gawai;Home Deco

2010-05-15T18:07:00.005+08:00

After the house cleaning,a little bit of home deco will indeed bring life to an otherwise standard deco in a home. Here are some photos just in case you would like to spruce up your living room for Gawai.
Somebody commented how if we were to put our local handicrafts in our living room,they somehow would not look nice. The room would look as if it was a museum where time stood still BUT if the same handicrafts were in a living room abroad,my my,you'd be the envy of your neighbours. I know, when I went to some body's house abroad,she transported all things Iban to her home there & the deco blends nicely. The engkerumong/gongs would greet you as you enter the hallway. A nice piece of Pua Kumbu hangs nicely on one wall & some other handicrafts are neatly & nicely put at some corners. They really liven up the living room & house. The simple mats look more pricey than the most expensive Persian carpets. A tablecloth of Iban motifs which never looks so good on a table here would look vogue in a foreign land.

Countdown to Gawai: "LOVE"

2010-05-14T13:55:00.001+08:00

Maia SIDS Pra Gawai dinner 2 weeks ago,YB Senator Doris Sophia Brodie bisi ngambi quote tu in her speech:

"LOVE LIFE & LIFE WILL LOVE YOU BACK.
LOVE PEOPLE & THEY WILL LOVE YOU BACK."
-Arthur Rubeinstein

Of course there is the everlasting Commandment to:" Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself."Mathew 19:19

I feel that,munyi ko Jacky, we can only LOVE people if we get rid of any bitterness that is in our being. Let us not get so heated up when things are not done according to our liking because the person who suffers is the person who hates most. Of course,it is not easy to do that;if it was easy to do it then there won't be a thing called "war'.

So,let us love & be loved.Not only for Gawai but for everyday living.
