Holiday. HOW?

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR HOLIDAY?

so people around will be asking what will you be doing during this holiday

? make it productive though that' what they are going to say. People like me (with hectic scheldues + free everytime) should have big problems on how to manage my holidays. I always have no idea on what i have to do but then i started to read more on articles on how to plan a holiday. You can always do something productive. START PLANING

REMEMBER ....

a) PLAN

The thing that everyone have to do is to plan because it actually helps a lot in making your holiday productive. There are a lot of ways on how you plan. You can plan on your timetable or in your head or whatever you have and the best way to write down your plan. You have to plan the right thing instead of the wrong thing. Divide your time equally on your scheldues that you want to do. 

People have the idea to actually sleep late at night because for them it is holiday, but that is what i does sometimes but not EVERY TIME. Sleeping late at night actually cause bad health which you would not actually suspect. Minor symptoms will show out so try not the sleep so late at night. All of us need around 8 hours of sleep so make sure you have minimum 6-7 hours. Do not go lesser than that, it will cause you dizziness the next day and lack of focus  the next day. So whatever you do the next day will not be productive anymore. So i am sure you would be very tired like sleeping in front of your teacher teaching. Sleep around 11pm and wake up around 8 am. This would be the best time . 

b) DO

There are actually lots of things that you can do during a holiday like going to holiday camps where a lot people can actually socialize and make new friends there. I have seen a lot of people joining like church camps, school organized camp and others are also considered as part of holiday trip. If you don't like the camp, don't force yourself to join the camp because you would not like how it be!. I am sure you will love to see a lot of people around you like going to shopping or whatever than that. So follow your heart. 

You can also go for like doing jobs. It is really famous nowadays because people needs lots of part-timer to work for them especially like the promoting products and somemore. It's really worth it if you work because you can get to experience and earn your own pocket money. So make sure that you can actually find the right job. 

So there are a lot of way you can actually do a lot of things like hangout with your old friends. This can strengthen your relationship with your friend!.

GOODLUCKKK !!!!!!! Make sure your holiday is not boring if you are boring just chat with friends! that's a boring way but fun sometimes. :)

Dine Western

Since the beginning of the year, i have been busying with new stuffs because that's we call a new year, new objectives to jump about around. So.. i have been also busying eating foods around Kuching! i have been updating a lot about foods, where you can compare between the foods and the places that i have been gone to.

For now, i would like to share with you all about some of the western food in Kuching that i've visited this year. Western in Kuching is very popular among the teenagers as the menu is very interesting such as Chicken Chop, Lamb Chop, Spaghetti Carbonara, and many more !!!

LIGHTHOUSE
Lighthouse is located at Jalan Song where a lot of teenagers get their "lepak" there.. even i do :) So lighthouse i can say a very jazzy place to dine and also a very romantic place to dine because of the lightning there. There are also friendly staff where you can find there ! i went there with my friends for a gathering after a movie night around 8pm like that. So after that, i got myself a treat by ordering Chicken Chop which is really famous at Lighthouse as a lot of people orders it. The environment is really very comfortable and it would be a perfect place for couples to dine as the light is set as "moonlight setting"

BASAGA
There are not a lot of people in Kuching know where's Basaga like me because it is located opposite Westwood where you can't see from the roadside. At first when my brother first asking me and my brother for a dinner at Basaga so i went "Where is BASAGA and what is BASAGA". My brother started laughing at me then he explained to me. After knowing it is a dinning place also a small resort, i was so excited to get myself inside there! The western there rocks, because of the sauces that actually provide if you order chicken chop. There are like mushroom sauces and others. People who go there are like western people from other country as it is a resort in like a jungle. I ordered Fish & Chips. The price is affordable as the portion is also big. So girls can actually share 1 plate of that.

FULLHOUSE
It was Saturday again and i went out with my friends again to Cityone and went for a movie date with them also. The Haunt was the movie that we watch and i have no idea how the ghost in the movie look like because i have been covering my face since the movie started. No guts in ghost movie. People say that it is not that horror as they think so for them it's normal. Before the movie starts, i had my dinner at Fullhouse which have pretty decorations around the dinning area. I am really sorry that i didn't take some pictures of it to show them to you. It's pretty white inside like wedding reception! nice place to take selfie also :) so i order a plate of Spaghetti Pesto and a cup of cappuccino. I purposely ordered the cappuccino because i would actually see the love design on top of the coffee which would be my first experience. It cost really expensive for just a small cup of coffee which is around RM 8. and which that amount of money i can buy more than a bowl of kolo mee. ! so let me show you the pictures!

Imperial Duck

Imperial Duck is very famous in Kuching city for it's signature dish which is the "roasted duck". So i went there last weekend to have lunch + breakfast because i do not know how to describe the time as it was around 10am -11am. Hehe:))) 

Imperial Duck have two branches, one near city and the other one at stutong. Both places are really a nice place dine as it's like really "ASIANS" food around the menu as you scan thru. 

So my family and i ordered a few dishes .. :) 

First , this is a set of cha siew. You can order the combination which is the 3 main meat which is the three-layered pork, cha siew and the roasted duck. It would come in a smaller potion because the one if order here is ala carte. It's worth to try . 

Now, i would like to recommend you their signature dish, roasted duck. It's really famous and it's a worth to order if you never try ! It comes with their sauce. 

Hmmmm, asian recipes like this ... YONG CHOW FRIED RICE. it's super famous and delicious in most chinese restaurant as it maybe brings in the culture of chinese foods. 

3-LAYERED PORK. This is nice but it's a little fattening but who really cares when it comes to eat? :) it's served with nicely roasted pork and cut into nice fine pieces. 

This is one that I've never seen the last time i was there because it's a new recipe in the imperial duck's menu. LAKSA. now they bring in the culture of  Malaysia (local) food. 

Laksa served with a few pieces of cha siew which cost around RM 8-11 

Another plate of it but with different combination of meat which is the three-layered-pork. 

Ramen noodles is used  (la mian) 

So this is really a chinese and asian food post from me and i am sorry to the readers who have been waiting for me to update as they say my post are a little to short ! I 'll improve more and update more often as i was really busy this few days ! Thanks for supporting my blog! It's coming to 1k readers! Thanks . Have a nice day

CNY outfits

This will be my very first post sharing to you all about my #OOTD during Chinese New Year. What is OOTD?  ( Outfit Of The Day ) but i am sure everyone know about it. So i am going to blog about the outfits that i have worn for Chinese New Year .:) so maybe you girls can get some idea on what to wear on each occasion :) 

I wore this on the first day of CNY . 

#OOTD 

Plain red dress- PADINI 

Korean Platforms- Mix Culture

Sling bag- One Jaya 

This kind of outfit can be used in most occasion like parties, dinner but not the formal dinner. Dress in red 

Just having a simple and plain t-shirt and a skater skirt ? Wear it ! It looks pretty on every girl ! :) 

Plain red shirt- P&CO

Floral skater skirt - Mango 

It's really fashionable now that you wear a skater skirt with a normal plain T tug-in.

Another #OOTD on the skater skirt and crop top instead of normal T 

You get the skater skirt almost in most fashion shops ! Crop top is picked by your own flavour ! There's a lot of thing you can wear with a skater skirt because it is simple and suitable for each skirt .

This is called casual #OOTD for the fashion now as it looks pretty and nice. Grab one at your nearest store now or online shopping where you can get plenty of it 

Remember to wear according to the occasion ! 

American-flag t-shirt + striped pants. 

I'll be blogging more on the #ootd, fashion and also the few clothings & shoes that a girl should have . Stay tuned ! 

Horse year

This year is horse so we must "马上发财” ! !! Chinese New Year for 2014 is going to end so soon but it's okay because everyday should be like Chinese New Year! Happy everyday ! 

Cny eve is one of the most important for Chinese families as they have to have reunion dinner together when during the night before the first day of Chinese New Year ! Everyone should stay happy and go back to your family. Reunion dinner should be one of the most important dinner of the year for each of the family. I spent my night with my family back at my grandma house. I can say all the dishes prepared by my grandma is super delicious. 团圆饭. 

After reunion dinner, it's already night time so we are ready to play fireworks or fire crackers ! All the kids will be super excited waiting for 12.00am during 30th of December. 

(Btw, me myself i was super excited also) hehehehe

I captured this near my house at 12.00am sharp. It was a really wonderful night of the year because the night is filled with different colours! It's the brightest night of the night . Boom boom here and there. The road is also filled with cars. I went to temple after 12.00am to pray for the year. I went back at around 2.30am. I was super exhausted but indeed fun and excited for Chinese New Year. Time really flies . 

The perfect capture of the firework above my house !

Group photo at my house! They are friends who made you feel very special and appreciated. Love them! I hope they had a real good time there in Lodge where i am considered ex-lodgians already. 

The girls ! Let me tell you a little about our story. We have been in the same class since form 1 which means we are 13 years old. Some of them were from chinese schools and some of them were originally from lodge. We started of our friendship only at like when we are in the middle of schooling during form 1. We got to know each other well and fostered closer relationship! We do have arguement      Almost everytime because we are 5 in a group so sometimes maybe one of us may feel left out but we will always get back together after the next minute we quarreled. We became really best friends when we are in form 2 and until now. I feel so great and appreciated when i have them to be part of my life. Thank you . Lots of loves and hugsss. 

Yeahhh :) let's go visiting. We were to few houses and spend time bonding.

Basically, i just spent my day with my friends , having fun with them, tightened friendship. We will never forget each other after so many years of accompaniment that we have spent together. I really have a very good time with all my loves one. I will be posting more about my CNY so stay tuned.
