Potluck / Jamuan Sebelum Ramadhan

Obviously, I'm not the one who is going to celebrate Ramadhan.

The jamuan/potluck was on last Monday. It was the idea of the elder sisters in the cluster. I was supposed to in-charge the desserts with the Master students but I totally forgot all about it. At 11.30pm Sunday night, Inception happened and I had the "kick" out of sudden, remembering the jamuan. Too bad, it's too late. Haha~

^Whole table of fooooood!!

^Whole table of local fruuuuiiits!!

There's laksa, spagetti, kuih-muih, mini nasi bungkus prepared by the fellow clustermates. The local fruits were brought by Prof Yusof all the way from Kelantan. Yum yum!! Too bad I'm not a fan of salak and that's why En. Shahril disapproved my identity as Kelantanese. Haha!

^The elder sisters in the cluster prepared ulam for laksa

The jamuan went on for the whole day because too many food! I brought back some for dinner. That evening, I 'chewed' dozens of rambutans non-stop and someone actually noticed that. :p

Random pictah time:

1. Lotti Tiam
^Can see the name? 'Lotti Tiam Bakery'

Imagine the conversation:

A: Ai ki talok? (Where are you going?)
B: Wa ai ki lotti tiam. (I'm going to the bakery.)
A: Oh. Talok jit geng? (Oh. Which one?)
B: ... ...Lotti tiam.

Sorry, but it sounds funnier in hokkien. 'Lotti tiam' is the hokkien term for bakery that we always use, it particularly means bread shop lah. So, if a bakery shop's name is Lotti Tiam, it can be rather confused, and might trigger a quarrel sometimes. LoL.

2. Look below.
^Look disgusting?

It's mum's recipe, my work of ice-blended dragon fruit! :)

It might look yucky but the taste is nice!

3. The room.

Wide enough to put one small couch, small fridge etc... But it's the middle room, so can be quite hot sometimes, and must switch on lamp all the time even during bright day.

4. Convocation on this Saturday!!! :)

Danok One Day 'Decent' Trip

Image
Since there is a request on writing this post (and I'm freaking damn honored!), so here it goes... On Friday, Wesak Day, we (me, CK, Voon and BeeYing) went to Danok for a day trip. It was initially a plan to have the cheap steamboat after I had one on January, but, you know, delays and delays happen. Until one day, we had enough and decided this is it!! Since CK has been there few times at night, I have been there once at night, the other two never been there, and they can NONE about description or recommendation of day trip in Danok online, we decided we gonna give it a try (a day-trip try). Departed from Kangar after breakfast around 9.30AM, reaching Bukit Kayu Hitam about an hour later and traffic jam!!! It took us around one hour (!!) for a journey of 200 m to reach and cross the Malaysian border checkpoint. SO many people were going 'overseas' on the 3-days long weekend plus school holiday. Parked the car at the Duty Free mall and walked for about 200 m to cr...

Luckily I don't have sensitive skin, but some of my friends suffer endless itch and some even has swollen 'wound' due to the insects. This time, another type of insect attacks again. This deary ...

Yellow Mountain/HuangShan, AnHui province

黄山，安徽省黄山市 WARNING: Damn long post! Initially, I was thinking about writing the whole events of my East China trips, not as detailed but just as slightly explained as I could, but I don't think I can. Hehe. So, I'll just write about my most satisfied trip, and leave the rest for the pictures I've uploaded in Facebook to tell the tale. This would be one of my best trips ever in my whole life. The fact is that, my confession to most of friends and family who don't know yet , it is my first solo backpack trip! v(^.^)v It has been a long and 'secret' planning, that I have said a lot of white lies to make it come true. I'm sorry to those I've lied, I have a sin. A big one =( Solo backpack in a foreign country is hassle free if you make detailed yet adjustable planning, where you can either follow what you have planned or making some adjustment according to the situation later in your trip accordingly. A planning is crucial especially if you are the kind of by-...
