To all Mirians who are residing wherever you are, including residing in Bangalore,here's a bit of everything:
Bubuk bisilah mimit-mimit; rather expensive @RM5/- per kilo;not much now;everyone I meet now,say that they cannot afford to 'nyangkong'/give to friends and relatives the end product of the bubuk,i.e. belacan. But do not despair,if you need belacan I can contact some friends who are selling belacan. Just let me know.
A new eating place called 'Mr. Ho's Fine Foods' located at the place where Fella Design's Furniture shop &AAsia's office used to be,is now opened. I have not been..a group of us joggers are planning to make a trip there sometime this week....GO DUTCH,suggested somebody.
Last Saturday, D & I invited Rosalind K & Sue Merican for lunch at Imperial CoffeeHouse while Watson & Peter Merican went out to sea for fishing. D has known Peter & Sue since he's a student in London kelia and a group of them,Iban students ever visited the couple at their house. They were very kind and hospitable when they went to visit them,ko D. .When one is a student, a little act of kindness goes a long way, esp in a foreign land. Cerita punya cerita Rosalind told me that her daughter who studies in London told her that Aunty Jenny bisi blog,so tambah menambah meh readers aku including Flavia ke diatu kerja di Bangalore. Namaste!
Have you read about Air Asia wanting to impose RM5/ for per check- in bag? Read about it this morning and this is one of the newest measures that they hope will lessen their burden on the soaring price of fuel. The more bags and the heavier the bags, more fuel will be used up. That brings my thoughts to :( ...they'll probably come up with the idea that fat & heavy people like Yours Truly would have to pay more,say for those who weigh over 65 kgs, every additional kilo that an obese person like me will have to pay say, RM5/-, let's calculate...????/ ) Time to lose weight,muk. Wonder if I could check in together with a thin person who weighs under 40 kgs and my excess weight to be shared with that thin person?....Ha..ha..
Weather in Miri tak enda aku nemu nusoi...a few minutes,it's hot and sunny and the next few minutes it would suddenly start drizzling and at times, a heavy downpour,which makes me real mad because I have to take out & take in the chapan of bubuk a few times every day. I make a few kilos of belacan just enough for own consumption. About 2 kg fell off from the chapan when I put them to dry in the sun..due to unstable cloth lines that I put the chapan on. ( chapan- woven rattan used in longhouse to dry whatever..padi,pepper,etc.)
Nama agi cerita?....oh ya talking about staying in hotel rooms. Just read somebody's blog where he wrote about having to put the bedroomlights on when staying in a hotel. That brings me to 2 persons that I know,indai orang, who travel a lot on work related trips,ngena bilun baka aku ke ngena kereta and staying in hotels all over the country and world alone every other day.I really salute them for their 'bravery'. If I were to tell this to my ustazah friends (mind you, I have quite a few and these two are no less,deaconess/catechist in their own rights)they'd say that aku enda cukup sembahyang..lemah semengat. The other time when I went to Kuching, our room lights suddenly kaput for no reason. We thought it was a black out but apparently it was not...then I suddenly remembered that a late friend of mine used to stay at the hotel and probably ever slept in that room. EEEchak...mdm buyan is here. Sorry Mang & Jumau,ukai nakut ke sduai...reka cerita aja. Uchukeling,alah endar nuan laban indai urang dua iko tu. seduai berani tindok kediri ba bilik hotel.
Pagila nampong cerita,ka muat bubuk enggai ke taban ke meow..meow.
