Yester Day

Time really passed fast. I don't know about you, but 2011 is really pretty fast. Now end of October. The other day I have been tagged by old friends back during my college days. Old photographs were posted in Facebook and a lot of old classmates made comments to the photographs. It is kind of great to see some old classmates via Facebook. Some are not even in Malaysia but we still keep in touch via Facebook.

Looking at those photographs, how young and naive I was then. Wore t-shirts and jeans most of the times. Lol! And how green I was when I got my first job. I remember I work till 8.00pm something on my first day at work. Don't ask me why but I just tried to show my bosses that I can do my work and proved them I am serious and able to work longer hours. But I half-dead when I reached home that night! Lol!

A college friend used to say about having a big reunion but it has been more than 10 years since he said that. *laugh* I guess everyone move on and not easy (but possible) to gather everyone together in one place. Once in blue moon I managed to find some times to have lunch or drink with some of my close girl friends. Even my friend now residing in KL commented that we live so near, yet hardly bump into each other in Kuching! Lol! And we only go out together if any friends come back to Kuching.

Thinning hair

I straighten my hair last Sunday with my sis. A little sister time to ourselves. We started around 1pm and as a lot of customers came to have their hair wash, it took us almost 3 hours to have our hair straighten. Suppose to be a 2 hours process but we ended up have it done around 4.30pm. But it only cost RM100.00 per head only.

But I lost a lot of hair. After straightening, my hair is even more thinning. Gosh! Maybe due to my last pregnancy. Used to have a very thick tresses but now I can see some baldness on my head. So before I losing some more hair, I better use some hair tonic. Any good hair tonic to recommend me?? How should I use hair tonic??? I understand I must put few drops of tonic on the scalp area and massage but if I want to massage all over my head, how???

I asked hubby how do I look and he does not give much comment. Maybe because I asked him before I went to the salon, whether he likes me curl or straight hair and he replied the former style. But I ended up with straight hair because I am the lazy type. No patience and time to maintain the curls. *wink*

Stay young tips

Who would not want to be young forever?? I am in my 30s and raising 2 growing children, I feel like I lose the youthfulness and energy in me once a while. Not forgetting the independence and freedoms that does not come easy with having children, but it would not be long when I think back that what my life would be without my children. Empty! *wink*


I am young enough to remember my wonderful teens and old enough (wiser?) to know what my parents have been through and before long, I will find myself in their shoes, going into mid-life then to golden years. Gosh! Now I am thinking way to far ahead. But don't get too sentimental here. The point here is that how we might stay young - no matter what age you are.

1. Exercise
It keeps your body re-charge and stay young and healthy. Brisk walking, swimming or hitting the gym does wonder.

2. Keep learning.
We are never too old to learn and we will never stop learning. Keep your brain young by learning new things or taking a class (cooking, baking, sewing, language etc). Discover a new hobby for continual learning.

3. Connect with friends
Old friends are hard to find and keep. Go for a lunch date with friends, or do something together.

4. Mixing with younger people
I have a friend in her 50s. Most of her friends are either in their 20s or 30s. She said she does not have much friends of same age as her because they think and act like old people. *wink* This friend will never grow old as she dressed younger than her age and she well liked among her younger friends.

5.Play
Children makes you stay younger. They are full of energy. Spend times with your chldren, either making some craft or arts, play computer games or having fun in the playground or beach.




6. Laugh
Laugh is the best medicine. Cultivate our sense of humour in our lives.

7. Spend times outdoor
Nature is rejuvenating. Fresh air, sunshine and sound of nature are stimulating and naturally you tend to be active when you are outdoor.

8. Maintain positive mindset
Old people tend to be bitter and love to nag and critise. Avoid being old and bitter. Have a positive and enthusiastic attitude. It is powerful tool to stay younger.

....you looking fondly at your kids' photographs and thinking how much they have grown

....your hubby does not mind you start growing few wrinkles and grey hair, fatter and grumpier and he still say "I love you" in the morning. Lol!

Brought from Sibu

Never forget to eat the famous Sibu kampua when you are in Sibu. And for souvenir, you will never go wrong with some pork-stuffed kompia and Sibu kam (local oranges).


Eat it while it is hot! Yummy!



Don't really fancy Sibu kam because I don't really like sour fruits. My mum loves it the most!

Never know there are so many types of oranges (kam). This is called "Limau susu". Guess you know why it is called that name.

Authentic Sibu kam???

We started our journey to Kuching around 1130am and we stopped at Lachau around 3pm for lunch. There is one corner shop (next to Pasar Tani) that sell great Chinese economy food. Really taste good but very little portion. I even commented that the girl dished out the dishes so little I can count the meat! Sigh!

We continue our journey to Serian and we stop for toilet break before heading back to Kuching. We reached home around 6pm. Phew! Tired, because I could not sleep in the car while holding Baby Jay who suddenly down with fever. Glad that he has recovered from his fever, diarrhea, flu and cough. He has not been that well before the trip and it got worse in Sibu. Play, eat and drink too much but did not rest well. Lol!

Secret Garden Grill, Sibu

It rained on the 2nd night. After wait for SIL to close her shop around 8pm, we had our dinner ala Western style.


We went to Secret Garden Grill after heard recommendation from Suituapui blog. Just want to taste their burgers with their own made patties. So, my verdict? The price quite reasonable, the place is pretty cosy and great for gathering. We chose the "non-smoking" area since we have kids. Food portion pretty big for our tummies.

From the picture, I know my children were enjoying themselves. Why not? Not so often we bring them to this type of place in Kuching!



Here are our orders, so don't drool over them, okay? Lol!

Double Cheese beef burger.


Supposed to order some chicken nuggets for my kids, but end up with their crispy chicken. Not bad, can compete with KFC!

My chicken burger.


SIL ordered meatball spaghetti. Very filling.

We slept late that night because we were too full from the food.
