she's in her holiday mood ♥

One more week and the fish's heading to Perth, yeahuuu ^^
I can't wait to take this break, I miss all of you in Perth !!!

Hope everything goes smoothly these few days &
I'll be able to travel worries-free !!!

Meantime, Company's having this Moon Cake festival get-together
steamboat + BBQ party on the 19th, though planning stuffs have & always
been my unfavourite part of the job, am still very much looking forward to the night !!!
Haven't really talk about my colleagues before, here's some recent photos of us in karaoke ~
It was a great night !!! I would really love another karaoke night again !!!
There's really no better colleagues in this whole wide world than these whom I have now,
they make gloomy audit days brighter, and quiet office much merrier =)
Here's Siaw Hui (who is leaving soon, but we'll definitely be missing your crazy moments =)),
and Tiong Yi ~ my neighbour + bestie in the office !!! She's a super nice fren &
will never fail to lend you that much needed helping hands whenever you
call out to her !!! Girl, you wouldn't know how grateful I am
to know you !!! She's like a snow white, isn't she =)

Sisterhood

I heart lovely sisterhood-bonding, once in a while.
I heart talking over a cup of tea & a simple piece of pancake.
I heart being surrounded not only by love, but also friendship.
One that I truly treasure, one that I truly share.
Heart you girls =)

Greetings from The Little Fish !!!

Good-Day people !!! The Fish's in Aussie town !!!
Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for so so very long !!!
I've just gotten my internet connection (dead expensive) last week,
and was super scared to spend it on blogging or surfing others' blogs !!!
Watching the bandwidth meter drops give me real-time heart attack !!!
But seriously, I miss hometown, I miss home-cook food, I miss hubby,
I miss all my family !!! That's why, when I first got connected, I
couldn't wait to 'skype' them !!! Hahaha ...

A Little Note
to all our families & friends:


Fish & Qing are doing very well here, we've got friends
who are really helping us out with settling down and so
forth !!! Thanks for all your blessings and care, they
really do mean a lot to us !!! Don't worry, we're
enjoying the pace here, loving the beaches &
taking lotsa pictures !!! Take good care
of yourself there yay !!!

Loves,
Fish & Qing

The very next day we reached Perth, we were sent to join the
other JCUS Scholars for a really fun 3 days 2 nights camp @ Busselton.
Met lotsa nice, amazingly friendly Australians from the program and they
are really sporty !!! Am deeply in love with beach volleyball and cricket
now !!! And am starting to feel the love for sports under their
influence !!! Hahaha ... Yupe you heard The Fish !!!

Oh ya, thanks to the wonderful camp,
We even went all the way up to Yallingup - a world class
surfing spot, and was impressed by their super clear
beach !!! Me and Qing just couldn't get enough
of the beaches here !!!

We've really been to most of the places in Perth now,
the beaches here are awesomely beautiful !!!

We joined Lee Ling's sister church for a
Perth Tour last Saturday, too !!!

We went to many places like Cottesloe, Fremantle,
King's Park and East Perth !!! Took lotsa pics
& loving every single piece of them !!!



Me and Qing couldn't wait to go shopping around town when
we were sent back from the camp !!! Lotsa funny things happened when
we were at the City !!! The very first time we ride on the train, we missed
our destinations by 2 stops just because we didn't know we have to press the
button for the train door to open,we stood there in front of the door thinking
that it will opened automatically (cus we're used the the LRT/Monorail system in Malaysia
ma), and got panicky when it didn't !!! We kept jumping and our faces got
really worried, until an old lady told us to press the button, but it was
too late, the door openned and shut before we could even move our
legs !!! We end up waiting for another 15-30 mins at the bus stops
after we got down from the train to take another bus
back to where we intended to go !!! So silly right?

More bekcek thing happened after that,
the bus that we took didn't stop right in front of our hostel,
but it did pass through one of our main roads, so we actually plan to stop
the bus at some place nearer to our hostel (Erica Underwood House) so that we
wouldn't need to walk back so far. Who knows I was that bad for my sense of
direction, I stop the bus in front of Vickery House (another one of Curtin's theme hostel),
because I tot that it was our hostels, as it resembles the same structure ard
our residential area. Stupid me, we then need to walk for nearly 45 mins
back to our hostel, through Curtin University because this Vickery
House is at the other end of our hostel !!! If we had not been that
'smart' to stop the bus so fast !!! The bus would have stop at
some place nearer to our hostel, only about 5 mins
walk back to our place !!! Got funny ma ??

But, I always believe that good things happened after
bekcek thing !!! If we hadn't missed our stops on the train
and we hadn't been so foolish to stop our bus at the very wrong
place, we wouldn't find ourselves walking back to our hostels and
saw Wei Chen at Curtin University because she was attending her
sister - Wei Ning's graduation !!! OMG !!! We screamed so loud I
think the ppl over at the ceremony heard us !!! We hugged her
so tight, we nearly cried you know !!! Hahaha ...

That's only about what happened on the very first day
we were at town !!! Hahahah ... there's more to tell !!!
Stay tuned yay !!!

My flat & my room @ Erica Underwood House
The homiest hostel ever !!!

Guys, since I prolly wouldn't blog so often now,
I thought of a way to keep all of you entertained and updated !!!
Facebook is awesome, too bad I only realise now !!! Hahaha ...
I've uploaded all the pictures that we took at all the amazing
places that we have been through up on My Facebook !!!
Add me up, and keep in touch okay?

~ Cheers ~

Bertutu Lunch @ Batu Niah

Hiyay !!! I really shouldn't be here right nw !!!
But I felt so tensed staring at a bunch of logical functions,
revising for tomorrow's finance lab test !!! They all don't look
much logical to me, anyway. Why does it have to weigh so much?
It's a friggin' 30% out of my finals !!! I crossed my fingers I'd
make my life easier doing fine tomorrow 。。。

Came here to catch a breath.
Thought of posting something nice for all of you 。。。

Hahaha 。。。oh nono !!! Don't be shocked yet !!!
The fish hasn't still developed that enthusiasm for exercising !!!
It's merely just a picture, picture of Niah Cave !!! I din go thr for
hiking nor exploring, I was lured by 'bertutu fish', that's all !!!
Yewp !!! The ever-hungry fish went down to Batu Niah for a
'Bertutu' lunch with the family last Sunday !!! I miss the
'bertutu' there !!! It tastes very different from the one
we had at Berkenu or Sibuti, very different. I've got
pictures to prove it all !!! Read on 。。。

The restaurant, 明 记, beside Niah Inn where
we used to dine in for 'bertutu', the cook has
moved his business to his own house !!!

It was a pretty long story for the relocation.
They previously moved their business to Miri and became 成 记,
somewhere downhill at Luak, travelling to and forth both places.
Until not long ago, they moved back to Niah and start their own
restaurant at their own house !!! And now it's called
“一 期 一 会” !!! Very special name, indeed !!!

The must-drink ~ 四 酸
I can't this anywhere else in Miri !!!

Mani 菜 @ Niah
I love this vege a lot !!! To cook it with soup is also
very nice, too !!! The best place to eat this dish, for me,
would be 好 味 somewhere near Pujut 5 or 6, the shoplots
behind a Chinese restaurant called 楼 外 楼 !!! It's a great
place for lunch & dinner, am sure a lot of my friends
feel the same too !!! I shall blog about it soon !!!

酸 辣 虾 @ Niah
The prawns are very big, and very delicious !!!
If hubby were there with us, he'll owes be the one finishing
up the 'black legs', I duno wad it's called. But no one in the
family likes that part of the prawns, hehehe 。。。
Maybe we are just pure lazy !!!

酸 辣 虾 @ Berkenu
Honestly 'prawn-wise', the one at berkenu tastes
even better !!! Niah's a little too sweet, but those at
Berkenu, they're just nice and very yummy, as what
we would like to call it in chinese - very 开 胃 !!!
I can do it juz with plain rice & be absolutely
satisfied with lunch !!!

Bertutu @ Niah
Perfectly stemed with oyster sauce and fried
onions !!! Great complements, indeed !!!

I duno if that takes up half a bottle of oyster sauce
but the more the better !!! Hahaha 。。。I love everything
that tastes salty !!! Just look at the meat of the fish !!!
It melts right at your mouth !!! You don't even
need to chew it !!! You just swallow !!!

Bertutu @ Berkenu
The one at berkenu is also very nice.
But the taste is not as strong as Niah's.
Still, your tongue'll be tamed by its meat,
which is already as soft as tohu !!!

I forgot to take note of the prices, but the 3 dishes
we had at Niah + a bowl of sweet corn soup (in portions of 3pax),
5 drinks and 3 plates of plain rice costed us around RM 160 plus.
Am much familiar with the prices @ Berkenu though, cuz we owes
had friends gathering there once in a while during holidays!!!
1 kilo of bertutu fish @ berkenu cost about RM 80 and
1 kilo of tiger prawns cost around RM 20 - 30.

So, hope it helps for those planning some food
trip for gatherings huh !!! I really hope to have my
next friends gathering there at Niah but obviously no
one's gonna drive up that far !!! Hahaha 。。。

Kuching Trip - Day 3

It's been so long, I know !!!
And nope, nothing's been holding me back,
it was really just pure laziness, really ~ aiks !!!
So, here goes my 3rd day in Kuching late February
this year with my family & hubby, finally !!!

Remember I mentioned about this really nice porridge store,
which Uncle Robin wanted to introduce to us, but was not open
the other day? Well, me & hubby purposely went up here to
try it out ourselves the next day !!! Desperate what !!!

We were so very happy that it's openned !!!
Can't wait, that's why we simply parked the car,
and went down to try the pork porridge !!!

They introduced us this really nice drink
called “古 龙 水”, kinda weird but nice, well at least
for hubby !!! I totally can't take it at first but after
a few more sips, I started to like it, and
eventually love it so much !!!

The long-awaited pork porridge
Well actually hor, it's not as good as what I've expected really.
The one at 'Min Joo Kee' tastes a lot better. I guess we all
have different taste & of course, appetite as well !!!

Later in the morning, we went to have simple
tea break here at an old coffee shop famous for its laksa.

It tastes super delicious !!!
The prawn oh-so-very-fresh lar.


Right after tea-break,
we went shopping @ The Spring !!!

It's our first time there, felt so excited after hearing
much about it over the news as well as from friends !!!

Oh, there's Starbucks !!!
But anyway, coffee's 'not my cup of tea' !!!
So we went grocery shopping instead !!!

Spot this cute little tin of coke.
I love its bright red & its sporty design !!!
And of course, the petite size of its tin !!!

Chennie !!! I miss you so much !!!
Even in Kuching I think of you, got touched ma?
Aren't these little cabbages so cute ?? I so wanna buy
them back for you as souvenirs, but seriously, I
duno how to preserve them !!! Teach me !!!

The Food Court

Little Japanese Corner

No, I did not try it !!!
I regretted for choosing Kenny Rogers over
Manhattan Fish Market !!! That is one
very stupid mistake I made !!!

At a place so wrong for lunch !!!
I should've listenned to hubby when he
wanted to go to Sushi King instead !!! Argh...

Bolognese Spaghetti
The noodles didn't taste very good.
Halo's in Miri tastes far better, I swear !!!

Chicken Chop
The size of the chicken was really 'kesian' !!!
But, I admit that the mash potato is to die for.

Above all, I still love Kenny Rogers !!!
I couldn't possibly forget the satisfaction I had the
1st time I tried it in KL so many years back!!! How it gently
runs from my mouth through the throat, down my tummy !!!
I shall take it as a lack of quality control then. Hmm...

Went to Song Kheng Hai for our afternoon
tea break after much shoppings at The Spring.
A superb place for foods, indeed !!!

The famous 'Lim Kee's Cha Kueh'
It tastes kinda nice !!! Friends told us it's one
of the 'must-trys' at the food court !!!

Padungan Belachan Bee Hoon
This tastes really good !!! It's the very
1st time we tried eating belacan bee hoon with
all these kinda flavours, tho. Very special, indeed !!!
It's spicy, sour, sweet but not bitter at all !!!


It's indeed, an eating day all day long !!!
I especially heart this picture of us taken @ The Spring.

The pinkish sakuras made a very Japanese feel.
I absolutely love how everything turns out in the pic !!!
Argh, I kinda wish travelling with you again, hubby !!!
How are you doing over there? I love you !!!

To Be Continued 。。。
