Buffet dinner at Cafe Rosita...

Ya..50yrs ago,1st August,1959,I was born at Sarawak Shell Oilfields Limited (SSOL) Hospital,Miri. Now that I have reached fifty years old......what's next? I pray for good health,food on the table,roof over our heads,God's Protection,Guidance,Providence,etc.

Hi guys! Thank you to all friends for the birthday wishes sent through FB & sms. Ya! I'm 50 yrs old today. Thank You good God Lord Almighty for Your Love,Compassion,Forgiveness & everything under Heaven that comes from You! & things in Heaven that You promise. I give Thee great thanks!!in Your Son's precious name,Our Lord Jesus,I pray. Amen...

Doing anything to celebrate the birthday? Like I said in some previous posts,I had given myself a pre-birthday treat when I went on that tour to Europe. That 18 days were probably the most splendid days I've ever had. My son,Nico's back for mid term break & Jill so kindly took all 3 of us out for lunch at Pete's Deli. Apai Jill's taking us out for a buffet dinner at Cafe Rosita this evening.

How I wish I had lots & loads of money so that I could take all of you out to celebrate with us. But as of now, I could only afford to buy you a cup of kopi o or ice lemon tea @Aseanika,4.00pm today.

Until then.."Agi Idup Agi Makai..Agi Gerai Agi Bejalai!!"

A Fund Raising Dinner was held in aid of St. Luke's new church building at The Pavillion, Parkcity Everly Hotel,Miri on 25th July,2009. The Patron for the dinner was none other than YB Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui,the MP for Miri. The Lord Bishop Bolly & his wife Mary Jean & Fr. Nelson Ugas also came all the way from Kuching to grace the function besides YB Francis Harden,YB Lee Kim Shin,YB. Aidan Wing,Sebastian Ting,Watson Bangau,Temenggong Atong,Datuk Hasan Sui ,Michael Pilo & the other local dignitaires. About 67 tables were sold for the dinner.

The YBs made their contributions along with the other parishoners as well. Those who contributed RM1000/-- & above were called to the stage to present a mock cheque to the Lord Bishop. There were many sponsored singers that night. From our table we had Mrs. Karina Dundang who was sponsored by Datin Maudie Hardin to sing "Bila Larut Malam". While Karina was on the stage,she managed to get the YBs & a few others on the VIP tables to give more money before she started singing. She managed to get more sponsorships & all in all,she managed to collect RM1,050/- for St. Luke's Church. Well done,Karina.

The amount that was collected that night almost totalled to RM60K excluding the profit from the sale of the dinnet tickets & grants that were promised by the YBs. Hopefully all pledges would be honoured. It was altogether an enjoyable night, mixture of everything especially songs which under normal circumstances would raise eyebrows from some church elders. The way I see it,if songs of P Ramlee/Saloma or Ricky El were sung for a good cause,here, for a new church building in Sri Aman,then,SING!...Bujang Runggu Ensing..Pujaan Hati Ku..Anang ninggal ke aku etc.

Jejak Kasih

2009-07-19T15:56:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday morning,as usual,my husband & I went to 2020 to have our breakfast. We brought my mum along with us as we already made a date with the OKKs from Bintulu who were also bringing my aunty with them. The Mirians were late. By the time we reached 2020,the OKKs had already had their makan. "Laju Apai Maie driving." ko iya ke indu.
"Ngantuk ti driving kelalu slow."ko iya ke laki

A set of burung merpati sejoli came even later!! Finally we got to meet my niece's "Knight in shinning armour", Mr. C. I could see that "Love is all around."
Fret not my dear for "London is only a few thousand ringgits away." Ha..ha..ha..
Uncle D's friend who was always jetting in & out of London many years ago said that to him & he was talking not about the economy class but the Business Class. I hope he still says the same thing when he meets Uncle D...,now that he's retired.)

Anyway,we had a great time squeezing in whatever cerita & berita there were to be shared among families. I forgot to bring my camera that day because of a change of bag. Hope the OKKs can upload the photos in either his or her blog.

Venice as seen from Darie's camera....

2009-07-02T15:29:00.000-07:00

choppy waters caused by the various boats plying the sea.

To reach Venice,one has to take something like an express boat,speed boat for some or a motor launch. It would take about 45 mins to reach Venice from the mainland. The 1st time I went to Venice the boat was provided by Murano Glass Factory & it was free.

But this time round the tour company hired an express boat specially for us. View or scene seen as we approach Venice.

It is said that Venice is slowly sinking. ...so they said.

The hotels in Venice are expensive & if you want to go to a paying toilet,it would cost Euro 1.50 unless of course you are having your meal at restaurant then it would cost nothing.

As soon as we step out of the boat which brings us from the mainland to the island of Venice,this is what we see.

Adai pan tan ti makai tu belama,ko Darie...nyu tengok ke daun ubi aku. Pulai ila alu ngagai kebun aku di Rh Ampik tau ke ke Kejapil ngiga daun ubi.

We had sphagetti for lunch in Venice.

St. Mark's Square,Venice.

Renatta & Asniza looking happy to 'torture' the 2 models.

.....I am of course,talking about my face which has been the topic of conversation done quite openly infront of my face..those drooping cheeks which are closely linked to being my father's daughter. I remember,quite a few times when I was intorduced as being my father's daughter,the kindest thing people commented about the association would be,"Ya..you look like your father..the face,the kuyu(cheeks in Iban)...amat baka kuyu apak nuan,kuyu nuan..Kuyu nuan baka kuyu sida Indai Joe & Indai Bulau ...bla..bla..bla.. The last time I saw the 2 aunties mentioned ( my father's sisters) their kuyu seemed 'lifted up' unlike mine. Ha..ha..Anyway,last night,Renatta invited a few of us over to her house for a belated Kaamataan do & to do some facial uplifting. so off we went & I was the 1st one to have my face done. It can't be seen in just one treatment...mine needs MAJOR rejuvenations/uplifting!!! If it's a house it needs major renovation..cannot be done..a little bit here..a little bit there.

Like every other gathering we have had,posing to have our photographs taken is a MUST thing to do. So here are some snapshots of what happened last night.

Florence

2009-06-29T15:56:00.000-07:00

The Old Bridge

The City of Florence behind me

Plenty of jewellery shops lining the narrow streets of Florence.

The Golden Door of a Cathedral in Florence

All colours & flavours of ice-creams

The Dome of a Cathedral in Florence

A tour of Italy is not recommended for those who do not like walking or do not have the stamina to walk;weak legs & asthmatics because it involves a LOT of walking. The coach leaves you,say,at Pujut 1 & you have to walk as far as Pujut 7 when you take the Florence City Tour. I remember during my 1st tour to Florence,my kasut abis carik(shoes torn..both sides). I had to plaster them with cellotapes. a lot..a lot ..a lot of walking. If you must or want to see Italy,do not go when you are too old unless of course you're like my aunty who had no sweat walking when she went there.

If you love things historic,then a tour of Italy is for you..the ruins,cathedrals & all that. Then again,all things in Europe are historic.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

2009-06-29T15:28:00.000-07:00

The Tower of Pisa is still leaning/tilting but it should still be there for a good hundred(s) more years to come. We were in Pisa on the 2nd day of our tour. The coach left us at a bus station & we had to walk a fair bit to reach the Tower. A lot of souvenir shops along the way to the Tower & do not be surprised when you hear the Indian shop assistants speaking Malay to you asking you to buy the various keychains,postcards,tea cloth,etc. It seems most of them ever worked in M'sia before(KL & Melaka) & after having saved enough money they went to Europe to look for jobs. So do not be surprised when you hear them calling,"Dari Malaysia? Mari sini,murah murah..beli,beli."

Harrods

2009-06-26T05:54:00.000-07:00

Like I wrote earlier on, Harrods was within walking distance from Holiday Inn Kensington Forum & hence we went to Harrods a few times just to 'look & see' & later to ease ourselves at the toilets there. a..I don't know anywhere else but at Harrods,while you queue to go to the toilet,you can get yourself a drink of water. After you have done your business whether 'buang air besar' (big) or 'buang air kecil' (small), a table full of hand cream lotions & perfumes await us. The lotion sure helps to smooth(e) the otherwise dry hands.

Besides buying the Harrods merchandise,we strolled from one department to the next. Not to be missed was the Food Halls. All kinds of food were available. Of course a visit to Harrods would not be complete if we had not gone to see the so called shrine for the late Princess Diana & Dodi.

Crown Street

On 15th June,Kate & I made our way to Oxford. We bought the 1 Day Travelcard which costs 6.50 quids & with that ticket we could travel by the Underground Tube to take us to Victoria Station where we could board a coach heading to Oxford. There are plenty of buses or coaches going to Oxford in every few minutes. It seems to be a very popular destination. Of course there is another option..to travel by train to Oxford from Paddington Train Station but it would cost more. Anyway,travelling there by bus would be better..more things to see. The ticket to Oxford by bus costs 16 quids day-return & the journey takes about 1 1/2 hrs depending on the traffic.

I have always loved my two years spent there taking my diploma. The place is ancient & full of history but what makes Oxford forever stay dear to my heart is the fact that I 'grew' up there. The 'Growing Up" years from age 17+ to age 19+ were spent in Oxford. Over the span of two years I had made a lot of friends. Lots of good memories shared with friends & to this day,through Facebook I have come to reconnect with most of them.

The last time I went to Oxford was in August 1988. The University Colleges are still as I can remember but of course there are additional shops along the way especially so, along Cowley Road. The residential houses where students like us used to rent are still there and they still look the same. The Oxford College Of Further Education has been renamed Oxford Cherwell Valley College. The front portion of the college where it used to house the canteen where I spent a good many happy hours there with course mates while waiting for classes to begin was in the process of demolition.

The 'walking down memory lane' on 15th June in Oxford could have been more meaningful if one or two friends who went with me had walked down the lane with me before. A friend,Dahlia Rosly went there a few days after me. How I wish we had gone there together.

So much about Oxford..I doubt very much if I could ever go there again. I guess I have or rather I am ever so thankful that I could & able to see Europe,London & Oxford. The 18 day hols were splendid..I tried hard not to sleep during the day time so I could see & digest as much as I could. It was a good thing to go during summer because the days are longer. Even at @10.00pm the sky was still very bright;people were just coming out to enjoy whatever entertainment there

was or were to offer to the tourists.

Meanwhile...in Samu over the Gawai,2009...what the Gawai spirit (including the drinkable kind) could do for goodwill

Despite the goodwill, "pama" are still the victims when the water & moonlight are perfect.

Diana-mania!!!!

In one of the photo frames,you could see the owner of the Cafe posing with Princess Diana. I think it's Italian owned. The owner,then had plenty of hair..now all that remains of his hair is his beard.

After having been on the double decker bus for quite sometime,we decided to take a walk when one of us complained of pedis pala (sakit kepala) we got down at Notting Hill Gate. And we walked & walked hoping to end up at Bayswater/Queensway area.

"Ti bisi meda kedai kopi lagi,ngetu ngirup kitai. Aus endar tu." ko bala sekeda." (Can we stop for coffee when we see a cafe..thirsty)

"Eh,nyin kedai kopi...eh...Cafe Diana!"..ko siko.

(eh.there's one there..)

Apalagi,ti di sebut ke Princess Diana,idup amat isi. Amat amat ga kedai nya nama Cafe Diana & ba dalam kedai kopi nya penuh enggau gambar Diana. Princess Diana empu pan bisi kala kia lalu bisi gambar.(No matter how tired we were,at the mention of Princess Diana,we all lighted up & indeed the cafe called Cafe Diana has all of Diana's photos on all sides of their walls. Diana apparently went there a couple of times for makan as could be seen from some newspaper cuttings & photos nicely framed & put on the walls. Cuppucino was nice & so were the butter cake & Fish & chips.

After coffee,we continued walking to Queensway.

After we were feted with Dim Sum at Chinatown on our arrival from Paris,we did an optional visit to the Wax Museum. Ticket was priced at 22.50 quids. Many people around & we were given a few seconds each to pose with the dolls/dummies..whatever!I thought there were more dolls...Amy Winehouse is in there too. Poor Princess Diana was placed on the bottom floor..on our way out.

When you see the sign Gerrard Street in London, you would know that you are in Chinatown. The first stop was to eat the egg tart at the bakery below.

On Sunday,Kate & I made our way to Leicester Square Tube Stn to meet Ani,Jonathan & Christopher for Dim Sum at Chinatown. Our meeting place was at the ticket machines & after that we went to have our makan. I did not take any photo of us having our makan. Dim Sum was plentiful. Thank you Ani,Jonathan & Christopher. Sorry I did not take up your offer of wanting to show me around. I had my own agenda.
