Kampung Nelayan Restaurant, KK
2 days more to Christmas! Wohoo hoo.. My hsemates all went back today leaving me home alone. :(. Sad sad. haha. (megada only).
Anyway i had finally clean up my messy room and it's so neat and tidy and clean now i fl like dancing around. But took me one whole day. Wash clothes, arrange notes, clean room, mop floor..chores are tiring! I'm so gna save money for irobot next time. I believe that will be a very worthwhile investment. :p
Anyway, i had decided to finished up the very last bit of my KK traveling posts. B4 year 2009 comes to an end, all of KK will be done. :) I mean i went KK in July but so many things had came along the way KK posts was always interrupted and had to put on hold. This is the 3rd last part. The day right after i came back from Mount KK.
Met up with Ed and May and some of their church friends.
After having dim sum for lunch, Ed and May decided to bring me and DD go patto (dating). I asked them where in KK will be interesting to go and they cutely suggest ShangRi-La's Rasa Ria Resort cz they say very romantic there.
At the reception area, there's this guy in Kadazan costume entertaining guest with traditional music with traditional instrument such as gong and xylophones.
It was a good place to just chill on a hot sunny afternoon and enjoy the sea breeze in the shade. :)
Of course, there's a lot of caucasians sun-bathing around the beach area too so if you spot a Baywatch lookalike, you can just pull your chair next to her. ahem. Like seriously alot. Cz maybe Rasa Ria have so many comfortable looking beach chairs lying around.
There's a swimming pool too. So inviting.
ala Bollywood.
Being silly at the beach
This white bougainvillea arch entrance reminds me so much of garden wedding. Very pretty. Only this is at the beach. But seriously, Ed say a lot of ppl come here to take their wedding pics one.
Pseudo-wedding pic?haha..
After that we went for the coconut bakar i had previously blogged about here.
And then they took us on a spin around KK and to One Borneo b4 night came quickly and it was time for dinner. And it was seafood dinner we had. Another thing i noticed while i was in KK was that as the sun prolly rise earlier than anywhere in Msia say about 5 am and it will start getting bright, so at about 6pm, the sky will be totally dark dy.
After much debate among themselves, they finally agreed on introducing us to Kampung Nelayan Floating Seafood Market Restaurant.
A word of caution tho, this restaurant actually caters mainly to tourist so it's more of where tourists will go rather than where the locals will go. Ed would had preferred to bring us to some other place for seafood which is cheaper and better but in the end he brought us here cz according to him, the prawns/crab here (cannot rmb cz kinda too long ago. but if u interested mail me.. i will ask Ed ;) ) are better and more fresh. And it's floating so anything floating always sound more attractive. And they have performances too.
There's nth kampung at all about this restaurant. In fact, the place is huge and fully packed!
Dish 1 - Sweet sour fish. Actually they just dug out all the fish meat and fried them separately so it looked like you had one whole fish with fish slices.
Dish 2 - Sesame mayo prawn
Dish 3 - Deep fried chicken with spices
Dish 4 - Stir fried sayur manis shoot tips (not the leaves, its the shoots) with egg. This is a must try in KK cz it's KK's specialty.
Got this Murut warrior dance that went on stage to entertained the patrons.
And as far as i understand, part of the whole warrior dance includes shooting darts with a blowpipe. Interesting to watch. Really.
Photo opportunity at the end of their performance. I asked for their 'hat' for pic and the guy was at first reluctant. Cz he said he sweat too much and felt paiseh. But when i said i dont mind, he took it off and gave to me. Actually, it was indeed kinda clammy feeling. ^^
With the Murut warriors and the pretty Murut maiden.
Altogether, there were 6 of us with 4 dishes and the total bill came up to more than RM 200! It's cut-throatly expensive if you ask me. The food was indeed good but i think the price was over exaggerated. So, if you are a tourist who wna do the touristy thing, doesnt mind the price and wants to be entertained while having seafood on a floating restaurant, then this is the right place. :).
PS : Thanks Ed for hosting us and the treat. He and May are indeed very good host. So glad to be able to 'catch' them in KK :)

Men Of The Year 2009
2 Wednesdays ago, i was privileged to be invited by Rubin to attend August Man first ever Men of the Year event which was held at the Jaguar showroom at Pavilion.Basically Men of The Year is an issue specially dedicated to acknowledge the achievements of 10 men (and a women) of substance from diverse industries in the country. And the 11 talented individuals were Joe Flizzow, Bob Chua, Afdlin Shauki, Casmad Sanuri, Hans Isaac, Henry Golding, Ivan Lam, Niki Cheong, Ragunath Kesavan, Sazali Samad and Tricia Yeoh. (so proud of her as she represents that we women are just as good as men :p)
As Rubin himself puts it, "We feel it is apt that we acknowledge the achievements of individuals charting their own paths - those who don't just talk but do. We are proud of the fact that we have managed to assemble such a diverse group and we believe that it is the right group to launch what we hope will become a yearly affair".
It was definitely a night of glitz and glamor as the guest attending the event that night were mainly celebrities, models, producers and other big names in like various industries.And there's not only guys to look at, there's also pretty girls to feed ur eyes. And i really don mean us. (altho we r pretty also right? *epidermis of the skin just increased 10 folds* ahem ahem) There are a lot of other pretty girls around too like the other pageant girls.
Well, it's no wonder there will also be certain 'wolves' among the pack, so just be smart and tactful. :)
Honestly speaking, im never that good when it comes to recognizing the who's who in the entertainment industry. But somehow sometimes not knowing is not a bad thing, trust me. No nd to worry about making a fool out of yourself cz u dont know who they are. The whole purpose of the event anyway was for ppl to mingle and get to know who's who. But anyway, it is always good to have ppl u really know to chat, laugh, chat, laugh and had a jolly good time with ourselves.
Rubin, friend and editor of August Man Malaysia
Just realized that was Hans Isaac standing there
Joe Flizzow
1st pic attempt with Joe Flizz. Siew was the camerawoman. There's a lot of noise with this pic.
Not satisfied, attempted a 2nd pic but it was blur instead.
The head turner Jesintha and mua
My fingers looked so thin and slender in this pic. hehe
What are big mirrors for? :p
Looking absolutely gorgeous the both of them.(Private joke : It's no surprise even 'Fido-Dido' and 'the sch bus driver' is attracted. :p )
Bangsar Babe and mua
Surprise of the night. And a pleasant one. Met my junior who was helping out at the event.
Since you all have seen enough of the front of my dress, must definitely show the back of my dress too. Cz it's just so sexy it's a waste not to show. :p. hahaha.All in all, we definitely had a good time and Rubin and his team really did a great job in organizing the event. Looking forward to more to come. :)

Quick One
I know i had been neglecting this blog of mine for a while now.
Been really busy the past whole week and i realized i was feeling kinda all emoish all of last wk. The stuff i had been blogging about all sounds kinda emo i think. sowee.. i don like blogging bout emo stuff one actually so yes yes, no more emo topics for now till the next yr. i promise. :) Maybe its the stress that the yr end is coming and i still had dno how many cwu's to rush. Or the stress that somehow i fl i don belong. (as ridiculous as this sounds, there are just times when i do feel like dat) Or the stress that i wont be seeing dd for quite a while till uni starts again. Or the stress that my room is in a complete mess and i desperately need an irobot or any kind soul who wna volunteer to do hsekeeping? (maybe u all will stumble across some secret of mine..hahaha) :p. Or perhaps its just that i got so many things to share with the whole world and i so wanted to blog bout those stuff but but i nd time to study cz got so bst, seminars and whats not.
But gone are the cloudy days for the sun is shining brightly once again. hehe.. And the good news is i had passed up all my delayed cwus. *faster clap faster clap*. I mean for all the hardworking students out there who passed up their cwu ever on time or even b4hand, u all have my utmost admiration but this is me with all my delayed, accumulated cwus which i dreaded so much to do all the time and finally im done with them. *relieve*. Actually not all done. Currently writing my first case for my internal med posting. Otherwise it is gna be delayed again.
So i know what one of my ny resolution is gna be dy. No more delayed cwu. Be done with the cwu of that posting in that posting itself. :)
Arent we all always excited when Christmas is near? Cant believe im going home in 3 days. Cant wait to see my mummy, daddy, sister and bro! Woohooo.
Back to writing. Updates soon. And happy ones. *fingers cross*. Just dont abandon my blog yet okies? ;)

Of Lending And Borrowing
You know how some ppl will never lend you things. And you call them selfish. When you are young, your parents will teach you to share your toys and coloring pencils and not be selfish. But, had it ever cross your thought that some ppl dislike lending out their stuff because they had bad experiences lending out their stuff b4? Maybe they nv got back the stuff they lend out. Or maybe they had far too many experiences like what im going to share.
Sometimes it's not that i want to be selfish. You can ask anyone, whenever ppl come to me and ask to borrow stuff, im always willing to lend them out. I really do not mind lending things and sharing things with my frenz.
But, of late there had been too many times when i lend things out, they ended up coming back to me with stains or scratch. It just makes me feel very sad cz these things are things that i really like and i take such good care of them just to ensure they are not stain/ scratch but because i m so nice like that and lend it out, they come back with stains and scratches.
It really makes my heart go triple ouch cz it's bad enough if im the one who causes the stains on my clothes or scratches on my gadgets. But when someone else accidentally add this extra 'decos' to your stuff, the truth is im not happy at all. It's like when you lend your stuff, it is perfectly fine. When it comes back, it has 2 small patch of stains. Right, i dont blame my frenz actually and i wont ask my frenz to replace for me cz its just 2 small stains and of course i dont want them to fl so guilty and apologetic and all those stuff. But at the same time, it's because im particular to details like that especially on my clothes (if it's a white shirt, it gotta be fully white, if it is meant to be a black shirt then it shd be black and not hv distorted and unwanted polka dots added) i will feel annoyed at myself of why did i lend it out in the 1st place when i know that they are not good in taking care of other ppl things.
It makes me more and more reluctant to lend out stuff because it starts to make me feel uneasy all over whenever i think of the possible extra 'decos' that might come back with them. It makes me not able to conc on anything, not able to sleep, not able to do anything properly because yes, im just so worried. Once bitten twice shy, so if bitten more than once dy, how?
I think in all fairness, if you accidentally cause damage to things you borrow, it's only fair if you replace it. And of course, whenever you borrow from ppl, make sure you take care of other's things like your own. Treat them like how you will treat your stuff. Dont you agree? But then again, not all things are replaceable, like it might be your fav white dress and if someone for some unknown reason causes a blue stain on it, she might not be able to replace it even if she wants too. Or sometimes, it might be something like just a scratch on your camera, and in situation like dat, tak kan you ask for replace right. So, i can only say 'suan wo dao mei ba'. !

Spot Diagnosis
Updates updates b4 i go missing till the end of the week :). It's kinda long but u can come back and read it part by part for the rest of the wk. hehe
a) Main reason why i will be missing (likely) is because i had started my internal medicine posting. And it's another crazy hectic 3 weeks posting. 3 case write ups in 3 weeks. 2 lectures/ seminars everyday and the usual bsts. Thinking bout me makes me feel like its a whole superb busy time ahead already. And to top it off, i woke up this morning wanting to go to lecture only to find myself having an attack of acute abdominal cramp that is so severe i felt like i can just stopped breathing. It's like it's so pain that i can barely move and i dont even had sufficient energy to smsed or called for help cz all i want to do was to stay perfectly still as it seemed the only thing that can gradually relieved the pain. And as i rolled around gripping my abdomen and wincing in pain, i thought of how those patients actually can stand abdominal pain for hours while waiting for treatment or any form of analgesics to be available to them. And i wanted to take my mind off the pain so i started thinking of how i am going to present my history to the doctors if i do need to go to the hosp. Actually, when you are in pain, the nature and characteristic of the pain is really the last thing that comes to your mind. Thankfully, the whole episode only lasted 15 minutes or so and it's an one time thingy and it gradually went off as i fell asleep again. And im perfectly fine now. Some of my friends gave me the diagnosis of overactive uterine contractions due to pre-menstruation. Which i think mite be the most likely reason too if such a diagnosis exist tho. Anyone wna offer any more spot on diagnosis? (for those interested in trying a spot diagnosis, the duration of pain is 15 minutes, acute and continuous, gripping in nature, over the lower abdomen (umbilical and suprapubic shd b the site of max pain), no radiation of pain, no other associated symptoms, no tenderness, guarding, rigidity or mass on PE) haha
b) JB is still the best city to live in because we get to watch Sg channels. I had never watched Msia channels or even Astro until i moved to KL and subsequently here to study. Thats because once u had watch Sg channels (mainly channel 8, channel 5 and U channel), it's so sufficient to keep you glued 24/7 to the tv that you dont nd to pay extra for things like Astro. As much as i love Msia, i gotta admit that Msia tv stations still had a lot to improve and catch up on with their counterparts. It's so blissful to be able to catch the latest season of all your fav American dramas like Gossip Girl, Prison Break, ANTM etc even b4 Astro runs them. It's so blissful to be able to turn on channel 5 and you get to watch live telecast of the Olympics, World Cup, SEA Games etc without having to pay for ESPN. It's so blissful that you get to watch live telecast of the Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, Golden Horse Awards, MTV Music Awards etc from Channel 5 and 8. It's so blissful that Miss World and Miss Universe will always be live telecast on Channel 5. I admit i had not been watching much tv ever since i moved for my studies but last nite, i searched hi and low all over Msia channels and even Astro for the live telecast of Miss World cz my friend, Thanuja is representing Msia and i wanted to see how gorgeously she performed and look but it's only then i realized there's no live telecast of the Miss World pageant in Msia. It's so pathetic ok. So so pathetic. I dont care if they will play it 10 yrs later on Astro but i want to watch the live telecast. How can Msia ever claim themselves to be a developed nation when smt as simple as a live telecast of an internationally famed event is not available? I dont think saying because majority of Malaysians are Muslims is a good enough reason. Then what about Indonesia? Isn't Islam their main religion too? Then how come they also got live telecast?
c) Today the headlines of The Star highlighted the begging horrors in our country. Actually this issue has been disturbing me like forever. I really dont like movies like Slumdog Millionaire altho i know in real, there's really a lot of such syndicates out there doing all these to children/ orphans. Everytime i see a beggar, especially a child beggar or beggars that have been disfigured or amputated, i am always ambiguous of whether to give or not to give. I truly sympathized them from the bottom of my heart and i felt really sorry for them. I truly believe that given a choice to anyone, i don think anyone wants to be a beggar. But at the same time, i choose not to give because there are just some of them who takes advantage of the society's sympathy and thinks begging is an easy way out to earn money without having to work. If they still hv their hands and feet, i dont want them to become dependent on begging and not look for a job for a living instead. It's true jobs are not easy to find especially in times of economic downturn, but any job is better than begging. As long as they are still able, i believed they shd try to look for a job to support themselves. As for those child beggars or those that are disfigured/amputated, i do believe most of them are actually poor innocent children that had been abducted or kidnapped and purposely disfigured by syndicates to earn money for the syndicate. This is something that always wrench my heart knowing such cruel and despicable ppl exist. I choose not to give in this case because i hope i can play a part in stopping this syndicates from continuing acting on such cruelty. I hope the syndicate will realize this is not a way for them to earn money. They will realize/think that the society have all turn stone cold by their demeaning and despicable action that no one will give any more to these beggars and there's no point in kidnapping and making all these poor children disabled just to gain sympathy. In that way, hopefully there's a stop to this whole ugly begging tactics. But at the same time, i wonder what will happen to these poor children/disfigured/disabled beggars if they cant manage to bring back 'sufficient' amount of keeping to the syndicate at the end of the day. What i shudder to think is how far worse they are going to be torture or starve and thats part of the reason why sometimes i just give even though i fully do not support what the syndicates are doing. I feel really helpless against issues like this but all i can do is pray for these poor souls and ask for their souls to be bless. At the same time, i believe karma's a bi*** and it will get to these evil, heartless ppl one day.
Anyway, enough of words. Pictures time. Random pics took around Mid Val and Pavilion over the weekend. The Christmas decos are so pretty so hard to resist not to take pics. And it's so nice to hang out with anode vainpot who equally loves to camwhore because we will waste time make up and dress nice nice 2gede. hahaha. Actually very few pics dy cz one of the days, i forgot to bring out my camera batt. So smart rite. :)
The 'langsat' of the Xmas tree
Not edible one.
I still think Mid Val xmas decos is one of the best
My vibrant leopard print dress. I like. haha
Perfect example of a delicious-mouth watering yet totally unhealthy food. Wait, it has proteins, fats, carbs and that teeny weeny amount of vits and minerals what. :p
Another example of unhealthy food that makes you happy.
@ Tony Romas.
Another vainpot. :p
We look like we r taking a couple pic right. lol.
The reindeers look nicer at night.
Din buy this dress cz too expensive.
Dis too. Over my budget.
I really shopped like very little this time round. Cz not really have sales yet. Words of wisdom from YW : Do not shop if there's no sales unless urgent. I add on : Do not shop if there's no sales unless urgent or emergency. hehe. Very true.
Bracelet and sweet pink flower headband
Suede heels. I think it's 4 inch too.
I think i will stop here for now. August Man Men Of the Year coming up next. (nd time to organized the pics etc one so be patient meanwhile k :) )

How can Msia ever claim themselves to be a developed nation when smt as simple as a live telecast of an internationally famed event is not available? I dont think saying because majority of Malaysians are Muslims is a good enough reason. Then what about Indonesia? Isn't Islam their main religion too? Then how come they also got live telecast?
c) Today the headlines of The Star highlighted the begging horrors in our country. Actually this issue has been disturbing me like forever. I really dont like movies like Slumdog Millionaire altho i know in real, there's really a lot of such syndicates out there doing all these to children/ orphans. Everytime i see a beggar, especially a child beggar or beggars that have been disfigured or amputated, i am always ambiguous of whether to give or not to give. I truly sympathized them from the bottom of my heart and i felt really sorry for them. I truly believe that given a choice to anyone, i don think anyone wants to be a beggar. But at the same time, i choose not to give because there are just some of them who takes advantage of the society's sympathy and thinks begging is an easy way out to earn money without having to work. If they still hv their hands and feet, i dont want them to become dependent on begging and not look for a job for a living instead. It's true jobs are not easy to find especially in times of economic downturn, but any job is better than begging. As long as they are still able, i believed they shd try to look for a job to support themselves. As for those child beggars or those that are disfigured/amputated, i do believe most of them are actually poor innocent children that had been abducted or kidnapped and purposely disfigured by syndicates to earn money for the syndicate. This is something that always wrench my heart knowing such cruel and despicable ppl exist. I choose not to give in this case because i hope i can play a part in stopping this syndicates from continuing acting on such cruelty. I hope the syndicate will realize this is not a way for them to earn money. They will realize/think that the society have all turn stone cold by their demeaning and despicable action that no one will give any more to these beggars and there's no point in kidnapping and making all these poor children disabled just to gain sympathy. In that way, hopefully there's a stop to this whole ugly begging tactics. But at the same time, i wonder what will happen to these poor children/disfigured/disabled beggars if they cant manage to bring back 'sufficient' amount of keeping to the syndicate at the end of the day. What i shudder to think is how far worse they are going to be torture or starve and thats part of the reason why sometimes i just give even though i fully do not support what the syndicates are doing. I feel really helpless against issues like this but all i can do is pray for these poor souls and ask for their souls to be bless. At the same time, i believe karma's a bi*** and it will get to these evil, heartless ppl one day.
Anyway, enough of words. Pictures time. Random pics took around Mid Val and Pavilion over the weekend. The Christmas decos are so pretty so hard to resist not to take pics.
