First week back in Klang

17th of May, yeap that's the day when I stepped out from my university life, the day when my student's life is officially called off. No more continuous flow of unfinishing assignments and projects, no more lazing hours and lazing days, no more carefree hanging out session without worrying lapse of time, no more innocent crapping and laughing sessions without worrying how tomorrow should come... responsibility of a student is offcially layed off here, and it's also the time to turning on a new leaf, marching towards the next level of my life.

It has been a series of tedious and uncertain interview sessions ever since I made my early trip back. Many thanks to the slightly better economy turn-out, things seem to look brighter than my last year's internship application period. At the very least, there is a path and direction for me to move forward.

There's a thought behind my mind.. Having my fingers crossed.. Hoping the best for my career path, and the same goes to my fellow coursemates, wishing the best for all of us in our job hunting outcomes. God bless~

Well anyway, before our real working life creeps in, let's say HELLOooOOOooOOOoo TO TAIWAN 1st!! Hope we'll have a safe, enjoyable and memorable trip!! Let's have a blast one for this and see you all around then!!

The update:
a1l1n's signing off to Taiwan from 25th May..
to... *XXX date*

Ikan Bakar at Kelombong

Familiar with the sign? Yeah, a place which is famous for their Ikan Bakar ^^ As the restaurant name sounds, the place is situated at Kelombong, where I guess almost every students in UMS or perhaps everyone at Sabah have come across with it for a long long time ago.

Kelombong Restaurant at Kelombong XD

And this is the ikan bakar or burnt fish that I've mentioned ^^

Hehe.. so far this is the best ikan bakar that I've ever tried in Sabah.. gonna be real missing it after back to Peninsular XD lurve especially the sauce much, sweet and nice~ You may always request for more sauces from the stall. They have also 锅贴, chicken wing and satay there, but normally that is how we order - Ikan Bakar from the stall, baby kailan, claypot tofu, rice and barli drinks from the Kelombong Restaurant~ ^^ It costs around RM20/fish, depending on the type and the size that you choose. This place is best dine in with group of friends ^^

累

早上没睡好
中午匆忙了一整天
只能用一个字来形容
“累”

当看到同样的事情发生又发生
只能用三个子来形容
“累” 即 “无言”

对于其中的哪件事情都好
决定了 就继续走下去吧
厌恶现在的生活

爱玲
想要新生活

Lip Ice

After browsing from the net, there only I realize that Mentholatum Lip Care products was actually the best selling Lip Care lines in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and even in Indonesia~!!

Pondering at its wide range of fruity flavours, from grapes, strawberry, lemon, peach to apple, a1l1n have just realized that I've actually had tried them all, except for the unknown blue colour flavour Lip Ice~ *proud* XD

Well, gotta say it is also solely due to its special mint cooling effect, Lip Ice have been my favourite choice compared to any other lip care products in the market. Moreover it's in a lipstick form! Judging from the point that stick is always much better and easier to use than liquid form, Lip Ice had been my best companion especially during my doom days in first and second year of uni life, where my lips were always in supercritical sensitive condition back then. Rather than its nourishing effect, Lip Ice had become a necessary protective shield to me in my daily routine to be more exact.

So why am I blogging this out of the blue?

... cuz dunno since when, my lips have back to my last-time condition!!!! Days with lip ice, has again come into my life..

I want my lips back!!! *shouting out loud*

Even when I'm typing this, my strawberry Lip Ice is here standing by me, nourishing my aching lips... but the thing is..

.. guess it is time for a new one again...

Life has never been more miserable without Lip Ice..and my suffering days would herein start from today.. =(

大排档 at Lido

After four years at Sabah, only we found out this very nice 大排档 at Lido.. got Peninsular feel and taste, nice nice and highly recommended for sure ^^ The only con of it ? It is kinda TOO FAR from Kingfisher ><

Crowded with people especially during dinner time

You may catch this just at the corner of the shoplots..
So what so special about it?

well, a1l1n lurve its TomYam.. sour and spicy ^^

Stroll along the shoplots, you may find variety of foods that you may be craving throughout all these years at Sabah.. By the way, they have Ikan bakar too, but to a1l1n, I still feel Kelombong's Ikan bakar is tastiest so far XD So let's see what we have the other day...

.. yummy chicken rice..

..Quite-not-bad Ice Kacang.. come perfect especially during these hot hot days *not the "hot hot" in Human show alright* XD

... Hehe lastly, sizzling..

Those craving for sizzling, sorry to say but personally, that sizzling was kinda too salty to me, not really recommended.. it's from another corner of the shoplots.. yaiks.. like tarnishing their name pulak hahaha but I believe the frank comments from the customer always important right =) Hehe after all, for those who have transport in Sabah, do give it a try there lolx.. cuz overall it's rating quite not bad to dine in, if you were to say nice 大炒 food at Sabah larr ^^

Although we've yet to taste all the food at Sabah, have yet to travelled all the places at Sabah, have yet to do all the must-to-do things in Sabah, to me, always the companion that does matter~

And to a1l1n...

C3A.. You people rockz~!!!

Some lil' confessions to fellow C3A~
Having you all as the companions throughout these years was a bless to me and getting to know you all is the greatest thing ever in this uni life ^^ Having my fingers crossed, hopefully after graduation, still we would be keeping in touch always~ Remember to update your facebooks always, don't register already and freeze dry it there; update your blogs always; song song sms har each other, call har each other, ajak har each other, don't act busy there everyday every minute and every seconds XD and above of all, *ehm ehm* If there is always a gathering once in every one or two years then jau super duper good lorrrr....

One of the recent photos when out with juniors *so ngam in my laptop haha*

Coconut Pudding and Lokam near IP

Went to Gerai Sri Cahaya to have coconut pudding and Lokam with my fellow coursemates, roadside stalls further up from IP area.

The insignificant signboard

How the dining place look like

Clams that we had or we name it as Lokam

It may look kinda yucky at first sight, second or maybe even the third sight? haha but trust me, the sauce that they use to roast the Lokam just fit right in~ If you are afraid of its characteristic smell or taste, dip the flesh with the given chilli sauce, it taste superb~ Well, not every stall offers nice Lokam though, personally the one at Sri Cahaya taste just kinda not bad!! =P Every stall would display these Lokam in front of their stall, you may simply select your desired Lokam there and they will directly roast it for you. Serving hot, RM 7 for smaller size Lokam while RM10 for the bigger one, each bunch would have around 18-25 clams.

Peers that have been accompanying me to walk through this four-year uni life at Sabah

Featuring was the famous coconut pudding, a very special desert from the stall, selling at RM 4 each~ If you're afraid of its too-big portion, you may always opt for the glass coconut pudding, where the pudding comes in a glass instead, selling at RM2 each~ Anyway, personally I still prefer the pudding comes with the coconut itself, you may scrap the coconut flesh after enjoying your pudding too~ ^^

Peppermint Chicken Rice, Asia City

Heard this from a KK friend, and initially I thought it to be very special and interesting cuz.. "peppermint" chicken rice? How would a chicken with peppermint flavour in it taste like? To a1l1n, Gosh.. this definitely is a must-to-try meal before I back to Peninsular~

~A Vietnamese type of chicken rice~ Peppermint Chicken Rice~

~Heard it to have three branches, Gaya street, Asia city and Karamunsing respectively~

~ The interior of the restaurant~ simple but clean~

~Personally it gave me the feel of just like any other ordinary Malay restaurant design~ *As to kill our time.. We were guessing that lady customer was from South America.. don't ask me why XD*

~The well laminated and ring binded menu~

~So the spicy chicken rice was the target =) due to we prefer thigh than the chicken breast, one whole thigh was chosen instead, of course at a higher rate too~

~Here comes the rice, the butter smells nice, and the portion is not big, just nice for gurls~ As for guys, they may always add another bowl of rice at only RM 0.50/bowl~

~ Here comes our crispy One Whole Thigh~ I love the sauce, it tastes real special, spicy yet sweet and salty~ Well, RM 6.50 for a thigh, rice and soup~ For KK citizens, standard lahh~ ><

So, after the long-winded post, I just wanna share with you one very true fact that many people may as well get misunderstood *just like me* at the very first place...

Common..."Peppermint" of the "peppermint chicken rice" IS JUST A NAME larr~!! Where the hell would chicken rice to have peppermint taste in it~ wake up larr~ ><

-From my another KK friend-
==

Well, as a matter of fact, none of the menu offered has any relation to peppermint, not even the beverages, so why peppermint shop? I dunno.. dun ask me why.. perhaps the owner loves peppermint? but still.. why peppermint but no any peppermint dishes is offered in the shop.. 本とにぜんぜんわからない ><"

Anyway, gotta say even though it's not a peppermint tasted chicken rice, they do have their speciality, a completely different kind from any chinese chicken rice style that we have tasted~And the important thing is.. quite not bad ^^
