The sailor went to sea sea sea

Families from Miri drove down to KK for the weekend and school holidays! It was fun having them around. The last time all of them were here was for my brother's wedding more than a year ago. 

Welcomed them yesterday with what KK is most known for ... Other than our sandy beaches, beautiful islands, Mount Kinabalu and many other things.

Seafood! - 

The food was great but today... It was even better. Even more seafood but to top it all off...

Can you see the size of that thing?! Fresh tiger prawns and squids on the grill! We drove up to Rikaraya Fishing Park at Kota Belud for some fresh seafood and to just enjoy some sceneries out of the city. We've been here a couple of times before for lunch and it could get a little bit heaty at noon. So some late lunch was just perfect!

Spent some time there until after sunset before heading back. Zarra had a great time too looking at all the boats and fishes :)

With all those eatings the past 2 days, time for some detoxing. 

Shaklee's Herb-Lax helps in removing fats and toxins in the body. 

Other than detoxing, Shaklee Herb-Lax also provides a combination of herbs that has been traditionally used for the relief of occasional constipation and to improve bowel movement.

Glad I got it handy! :)

Lunch @ Fullhouse

It's been a while since I hang out with my girlfriends, the last time we met was during my wedding! I've spent the past 4 months mostly hibernating at home (was so tired and sleepy all the time not to mention the sickness I was experiencing).

Fullhouse is a cafe that just opened quite recently at Suria Sabah shopping mall. Interior wise, the place looks cosy and englishy and artsy. But since the place just opened, it was quite packed and we had to queue up for a table. Food? We ordered pastas and it's not bad at all. Not the best pastas of course but reasonably alright. Three of us had pasta and the portions were inconsistent. Service? They did warn beforehand that the food was going to be a bit slower than usual because the place is full. The waiters were helpful on checking our orders and some came quite fast while some were slower.

With Dina

Nana's hubby - Bob, Nana & Effy

It was good catching up with them last Saturday. Nana is also expecting and she's due a month earlier! But it's her third, so she's dealing with it like a pro.

Prior to lunch I made it a point to go for a little bit of pampering - a pedicure and a hair wash at the saloon. I just wanted someone to massage my head and shoulders while washing my hair and yes, that felt GOOD! So good that I wish I could do it every single weekend day! As for the pedicure, I can still trim my own toe nails but it'll take me hours and it gets so tiring afterwards that I'll need a nap to rest. So why not?

Fine, it doesn't take me hours but the nap part is true!

Someone was doing my feet while the other was massaging my head... I feel so Tai Tai.

A good weekend indeed! Counting down 4 more days 'til hubby is back :)

Today I mourn

Received a forwarded email from my Aunt this morning and there I see it.

GOLDEN CHURN CREAMERY BUTTER TIDAK HALAL.

Press release by Majlis Islam Sarawak

Those living in Sarawak knows our famous Kek Lapis Sarawak and most Sarawak cookies are made with this butter as based. The butter helps to make our cake soft, creamy and the cookies sepor (not sure with the term in English?) The use of this butter as the main ingredient of our Sarawak cakes is done for so many years, even before my Opah's time!

Nyaman di renyok ngan nasik panas-panas and kicap!

On another note, it's good that they've discovered this matter now. As Muslims, we don't want to have pig's DNA in our food now do we. Hope those who gets this press release forward it to others as well.

I wonder what will everyone use to make their Kek Lapis and Semperet this year?

Ramadhan Food & Fair @ Wisma Wanita '11

Remember I posted an entry about a banner design I made for an event coming up here in KK?

If you don't, CLICK HERE.

But if you do, the banner's up! I haven't seen it yet but the organizers uploaded a photo of the banner being hung at the roadside of the venue. Here it is!

The banner is for the upcoming RAMADHAN FOOD & FAIR @ WISMA WANITA '11. If you read my previous entry, you'd know how I end up getting the designing job. The bazaar is organized by Akif Jaya Sdn Bhd and Sabahan Blogshop Flea Market, supported by Jabatan Hal Ehwal Wanita Sabah.

It is now up for the world to see! Ok, so maybe for those who are staying in KK. Will be driving pass the venue later to see it myself and maybe get some vanity shots ;P

If you're living in KK, now we have more options on places to visit during Ramadhan. To those who are interested in getting a lot, it's still not too late! Hurry though, lots are finishing fast. For more information, you may visit the event page on facebook.

Thanks Nirwana for the opportunity :)

Painting my tummy red

What I miss most about KL right now will definitely be this.

The Red Velvet cake from Illy Espressamente. I had a slice a day while I was there.

5 days = 5 slices = FAT!

I know I was suppose to be on diet but the cake was just heavenly smooth, creamy, and perfect. No picture of the cake cos the only time I remembered to take a picture of it, I've ate it all.

I shall eat you soon again my darling cake. Wait for me!

I love food

Yes, that simple. I love food!

But with the wedding coming up, all I get from everyone around me is asking me to skip meals, not to eat rice, skip dinner, no fried food, skip any type of cakes, skip fast foods, skip desserts, and yes go on... add on to the list.

If I do it anyway, they'd tell me... "It's okay, you have months to go!"

I am pressured to be thin :(

I can't blame them. I do need to loose weight if I want to look good that day. Why does looking good is associated with being thin? So not fair! I feel guilty just thinking of Carbonara right now!

Let's do the math. You go all way out being skinny for your wedding, you throw confetti over yourself because you think you look good on your wedding day and everyone complimented you look good, then you're happily married and cook dinner for your hubby every night where you would join him because you're so happy, then you would gain more weight because you're happy, 3 months later you're pregnant.

Then? See where I'm going with this?

I have been short and chubby my entire life! Not fat... just you know, chubby.

Ok, fine. No more excuses. Will start my diet soon.

Yes, SOON! ;P
