Holidays

pics will be up soon.

so the first two week of my mid-sem break (22/11 - 5/12) was spent in KL. i used to visit KL once a year but this year alone it has been like 5 to 6 times. lepak in KL until sien also d. never thought that would happen. Heh.

finally got the Swatch watch that i've been eyeing for so long. and it was a pleasant surprise when a book i've been looking for so long and had given up on ever finding, suddenly made a surprise appearance at Kinokuniya.

the last two weeks of the holidays was back in Kuching.

being away from home really makes me appreciate Kuching more. especially the food. kolo mee, teh c peng, sarsi cincau. aaah.
plus the ABC at Song Keng Hai (stall no.2) and at Open Air. and not forgetting the roti at Curry House. used to have it like three times a day every time we stayed back after school.

really makes me proud to be a Kuchingnite.

also made it back to Kuching in time for AGC. was nice going back to St. Jo and kinda reliving the secondary school atmosphere. it's a different atmosphere from uni but both have their own special appeal.

also managed to pay a visit to MV Doulos on its last journey to Kuching. was disappointing though for me as their selection of books were mostly Christian books which isn't my cup of tea.

flew back to Penang on Dec 20. seems like USM is the only uni in Malaysia to reopen their semester before Christmas. curses.

i know this is two months late, sorry. haha.

no idea what a sibu local is called. even wikipedia says there's no official name for them. haha.

so is kolo mee nice or not? i can't really guess from your comment, but i'm guessing it's yes? haha.

well, you do have some other stuff like veggie and minced meat (bak chor) but the main ingredient is char sio.
