Koridor Bisai Vs. Ikan Asin

Bisai kan the lighting for the korridor. Paleng aku suka lah koridor ni setakat seumur-umur hidup ke berjumpa dgn banyak koridor! The new Promenade Hotel in Tawau. The lighting effect bikin the corak taris-taris karpet nampak groovy. Lama aku berdiri di hujung koridor menikmati the romantic effect. Entah-entah ada aku di CCTV dorang dan dituduh ingin mencuri karpet hotel kan.

Selain obsesi koridor, aku suka dia punya baked cheese cake juga. But tak sempat ambik pic. Next trip la. Nyaman o cheese cake nya. memang to die for, or u will die coz of the richness of the fats. tapi, takpe, gila nyamannya! Kalau bukan aku duduk dekat dgn boss, pasti sudah ku tapau for si Fabmom & Sri utk merasa!

Gambar atas, bukan obsesi ku. Ini ikan asin di Tawau, aku menemankan the bos bini-bini memajak ikan asin. Ok lah juga the ikan-ikan asin....

Cerita Kerja

Lawakan udang kering di Tawau. Rogono pun "berbolai" hj bilang. Gambar bawah keropok-keropok Kokos. I like keropok yg dihasilkan oleh peniaga kecil Kokos, they tak lokek bahan dan rasa. Ada rasa dan gemuk-gemuk keropoknya.

Jeti Pulau Bum-bum yang bahaya (refer to gambar bawah). Si Cyril terlicin jatuh melabuk pasal the surface di litupi oleh kulat licin, so jgn minta puji mau pakai kasut tiada bunga atau "bekasut tinggi oku" pi sini. The perahu kayu is our usual mode of transportation from Semporna mainland to Pulau Bum-bum. Redha ja la naik perahu tu, tanpa life jacket dan alat-alat keselamatan lain. Tapi for this trip, memandangkan ada VIP, hehe kami naik bot laju berkuasa 2 enjin kuda as per above pic. Sangat laju dan selesa, mcm bot iklan Peter Stuyvesant. Cepat sampai, 3 menit ja. Kalau perahu kayu, adalah dlm 10-15 menit sampai (bergantung kalau enjin damitnya inda termati balik-balik!).

Take care all.

Re-branding Mondays

Re-branding Mondays. Is it even possible? Came to the office greeted by the trainees' noise. Pening kepala ku terus. Immediately I can feel the migraine creeping to my head. Enjin kerja pun lama mau start. New and better approach is needed for Mondays. No more blue mondays tag, or tag tag negatif yg seumpamanya. Every day is a good day including mondays. So people, I m embracing my Monday with a new perspective now.

Several photos from my outstation. Above picture ia a lone perahu damit "parking" in the Semporna sea.

The Semporna Floating Restaurant walkway. Such a romantic lighting kan. I like the walkway best. The food is gagal though.

An island faraway in Semporna, that looks like a sleeping man (with a very much distorted figure though).

Take care all.

The office is swamp with many new faces in the form of trainees, undergoing practical training. Pening ku budak-budak ni. Giggling girls, and some of them are seated adjacent to mine. lain juga eh budaya budak-budak now (or is that coz of a huge generation gap? sob sob sob), I remembered dulu-dulu, kalau kita baru masuk kerja, inda la berani ketawa terbahak-bahak dan bercerita bagai nak rak kan, diam ja kan. Dorang ni ah, bercerita la (I can actually hear every bit of conversation), memasang lagu la, giggling la. Seriously akak sudah sampai tahap maksima my patience. Their voices are like nyamuk di telinga ku. Bingit banar!

'M off for outstation to Pulau Bum-bum Semporna, Sandakan and Tawau this week. Be back next week. Take care all.

Fabmom's Coming of Age

Hehehehehe coming of age tediri kan M! Last Saturday, the teaparty was turned to a Pesta Kari to celebrate Fabmom's birthday. Cake was special order from ANies. Selalu kalau order kek and rasanya kurang nyaman, susah betul mau kasi tau kan, coz our culture is culture yg beradat bah kan. BUT, kek si ANies ni sincerely NYAMAN! I m not saying this coz we know Anies. We ordered butter cake and it tasted so moist and sangat ngam dengan rasa lidah kami. It was beautifuly decorated lagi. Si Adek la yang pajak all the tiny blue flowers. Nasib si ANies kasi hinggap 3 ekor butterfly, so setiap budak dapat satu ekor. Kalau tidak, ada lah yg berkeluaran aying mata tiada dapat kupu- kupu!

Immediately, I sms Fay to confirm order kek dari si Anies for my mom's birthday nanti.

Fabmom ada juga menyediakan my all time fav her carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Mcm bertukar kek kami, I & Sri kasi hadiah dia kek dan dia kasi tapaukan kami kek lobaknya. Mcm the whole weekend aku meratah kek lah kan....

SI Adek menyusun balik the blue flowers di keknya. For her birthday nanti, aku mau order dari si ANies kek penuh bunga utk si Adek ni.



Happy Birthday M!!!!!

Cantik kan the shape and color combination.

P/S Mcm tiada langsung pula gambar kari kami kan. Terlupa mau ambil gambar the kari kepala ikan, lalai mengambil gambar kek!!!

Hasil Sipitang

Went for site inspection in Sipitang yesterday. Adadada cuaca punya panas. Menahan hati ja I under the sun. Segala topi, aircond dan whatever protection pun inda boleh melawan sang mentari. The site is right in front of the sea, jadi teka-teka lah bagaimana kilauan the sea dan haba penyejatan air laut naik ke muka, badan, mata dan bumi bertuah ni kan.

Untuk mengubat badan dan semangat yg lemah oleh sang suria, I telah membeli-belah hasil pertanian di Sipitang dan Beaufort. Mewah juga hasil akak. Cuma inda matching la pemebeliaa tu kan wakakakaaka! I berjaya bershopping sakan avocado, bunga kantan (matching dgn avocado ka..hmmm) murah betul the bunga kantan 4 tangkai for RM1!, kalau di pasar Taman Jumbo, 2 kuntum RM1.50 o geng, Nenas, Limau Manis, dan mushroom. Dan kueh yg bujur-bujur warna cokelat tu, Kueh Bom aku beli di Restoren Sri Malaysia di Beaufort. Yg ni a "must buy", 'm obsessed with this kuih. Pasti akan ku tapau kalau limpas Beaufort ni. Aku tapau semua perasa - Inti Bawang + Udang Kering, Kacang Hitam & Kacang Tanah. Serious sedap esp kalau makan panas-panas! Tapi awas, kalau terlampau chapi-chapi mengigit kueh yg baru keluar dari kuali, pasti lidah akan terbakar.

Pengsan la si M dan Sri ni, menduga samada itu kah bahan-bahan yg akan aku bawa ke Teaparty kami this sat!

Gambar bawah, Sipitang punya clock tower, tapi jamnya inda ngam timing. They said skru dlm jam berkarat kena wap laut.

Take care u'ol.

Anak-anak Damit

Updates on nieces and nephews. Owen & Nurul dipaksa aunty membuat pose bertafakur. And the baby below did not need any force to do his pose. Itu ja skill dia setakat ni.

Kembali Ke Asal

Hi all, I m back from a very much needed break/rest. The break was eventful and required constant travelling. It was very very good tho'. Good for the soul and mind.

P/S Gambar atas tiada kaitan dengan isi post. (bukan anku tinggal di rumah ni time cuti). Cuma, when i grow old and retired, I want to have this size of a petite house, and I'm so gonna beautify it ala ala rumah kedesaan Inggeris. Rumah yg di atas tu mcm ala ala rumah nenek kebayan kan.
