Have You McValue Lunch-ed this week?-ADV

The direct answer is, "YES.... I HAVE... WooooooHooooooo........". I mean what can be more worse then don have McD, and of cos McValue. Cos it is pa ra pa pa pa, I'm loving it....


Well, i love McD so much, i can eat like a whole buffet of it. Whenever I'm FB'ing, McD. Whenever I'm blogging, McD. Whenever i watch football, McD. It is always in my mind, my heart, my life. And I'm loving it.


Well, thanks to McDonald's, now we have McValue. I think this would not be alien to everyone, unless you don watch tv lar... It is in the TV and newspaper. So introducing, McValue Lunch..

And it is relatively cheaper than the usual price. Or else why they have promotion right? It cost around RM8.++ (after plus tax), for BigMac. And also other variety of burgers.

For me, the one that I'm craving for (most of my friend and readers know this) Big'N'Tasty. However, i don see it in Kuching McDonald for McValue sets. Well, at least they have BigMac. and it is still cheap.....


It is the life. Peace for that.

It is so cheap, i can eat it every single day. Not only i gonna eat it, i will (and have also) invite friends to enjoy the meal with me. And he is loving it.....

And oof cos, for McD die heart fan like me, one is never enough. Always order double. And make it variety.

Well at least it is still cheap... I mean really... Normal time, it gonna cost me up to RM20.00 for two set, but now, it is cheaper. Simple math, 8+6 equal to? ha... you got me.... The rest of the money do what? Well, it is so simple, order more....

And if you still not full, can da bao (take away) some more. But make sure it is from 12 pm to 3 pm.

Even when you ride back, remember, a cup of McD Coke, keep your trouble away. Or is it, an apple a day keep the doctors away. Nah... Don care. I just 'pa ra pa pa pa, I'm loving it'...

So keep off my burgers, it's all mine.....

Velocity Go-Kart (review)

Been there last night with James and Alex. Ok, it is not that fast, but worth the money and effort. At least i beat the shit out of them and rank first though did accident one time.

Did not manage to get photo but damn it, i have a nice race. We did a 20 round with 17 round actual race. My best lap, 30.+++ second. Ok for a starter. The record time on that track is 24.+++ second. So my next target is to get at least 25.+++ second.

Possible? Yeah... Lets try out and see.

Oh ya, the place is located after Bintawa police station. at the road side. You can see big sign board there. Next time, i gonna ask Willy there when he back from Singapore.

Wanna see some pictures? Go to this URL, http://twvsk.blogspot.com.

You will know what i mean here. See ya.

Velocity Go-Kart

I just heard this from Abang Nasir (FEB Staff) yesterday and decided to go check out that place yesterday. Sadly, i can't find it.

Well, it is not my first time Go-Kart. Actually back in Sarikei, i have try Go-Kart few time. We used to have one there but the demand is very very little, that why it is closed down after a while. But the field is still there. And it is an outdoor one.

So, just now have called the manager of that place (i get the address and contact number from a blog) and did ask him where it is. Now i know where it is and will go there with Will and the rest for a trial. I think will be worth the money and effort lar and both me and Will love racing a lot. Just that we don do it here in the streets. Police.... ha ha.

Will check that place up and post it up here. Chao...

Batang Ai Trip

Was unable to update anything on this blog as i'm away for a field work in Batang Ai start at afternoon last Monday till yesterday. Before i actually start, please don misunderstand me for anything regarding the by-election going on there.

We were doing something on advertisement. Well, just at the same time have holiday and observe close in hand and with my own eye the election going on there. The people and the community there. Was rather interesting and an eye opening experience for me personally.

Met some big shots and VVIP there also. Seen some nice scenery there. But didn't try the ijuk (Local Langkau) drink there. No time. Well, will blog it in when i get hold of the pictures that currently with my boss. Ha ha. So i'm back and dark now.

Big N Tasty

Well well well, today we talk about FOOD...... And my favourite, BURGERS......

There none burger that i have tasted as good as this;

BIG N TASTY.

It was so good and tasty that i have nothing in particular to comment or do not even dare to criticise this wonder creation of McDonald. Comparatively, it might not be as 'big' as McDonald Quater Pounder, but hey, it taste goooooooooddddddddddddd.......

The beef, the vege, the sos. Emh emh emh....

I can't just resist of not having it. Not having it is like feeling your are a guy that don't have guts.... See the beef, see the content, it just so watery and juicy...

And i have a confession to make here. I have fall in love to Big N Tasty. There not other burger like Big N Tasty. "pa ra pa pa pa, i'm loving it"......

Sarawak Adventure - 2

The idea for this adventure trip of mine all started off with the visitation that i have at Lau (one of FEB master student) place at Sematan, at the end of Sarawak. So was thinking, last 2004 i did venture Sarawak but mainly just pass by. So this time at 2008, after four years of solidatory in UNIMAS, i decided to do some different. From Sematan to Lawas. But i must at least stop by all the places along the highway.

It is a nice drive. The pictue below is the view from my car when i almost reach Miri. Nice highway beside the beach.

And the whole idea is to see the beaches all along the way to Lawas. As i like beach, expecially the sunset views and the nice smooth breeze along with the wave hitting on the sandy white beach. So far, the best beach i've been to is Sabah. So travel up tpo Miri and see if the beach there is as nice as Sabah one. That would be another post all together then. Ha ha...

And of that, it's all thanks to my loyal companion and wife, my kelise EZi 1.0. Oh, i love you my car... Mon Amie...

Anyway, the next post would be the beaches... yeah baby...

Sarawak Adventure - 1

The last month have really been an intense month for me. Not only pack will conference, seminars and wedding schedule, but also a lot of travelling. And i'm proud to say that i have successfully travel from one end of Sarawak to another end of Sarawak (Sematan till Lawas) and eventually half of Sabah (Sipitang till Kota Kinabalu). Not much people have done that and i'm proud to announce that Jeffrey have done that and have been there. Well, as promise, will blog on my journey and some interesting facts and locations as i bring you guys travel Sarawak, the land of the Head Hunter. Located in Borneo Island, in South China Sea.

Sarawak. The land of the head hunters. The land of the Hornbill. Well, personally i like to call it as "The Land of the Head Hunter". Cos' it symbolize Sarawak and the locals here.

The administrative capital of Sarawak is Kuching (the place where i was located now), .Other major towns also include Sibu, Miri, Bintulu, Sri Aman, Sarikei, Mukah, Betong, Limbang, Lawas and much more.It is rather interesting to note that Sarawak (similarly Sabah) is a multicultural state, with no ethnic majority. Meaning that it is quite equal. Unlike West Malaysia where one can see that in a lot of places/states there is some kind of majority ethnic and mostly were Malay. The majority of Sarawak's people are non-Muslim; there are over 30 ethnic (non-Malay) indigenous/natives groups in Sarawak.

Well me personally is also a mix, 1/3 Hakka (dad side), 1/3 Foochow (mom side) and 1/3 Iban (dad side). My dad a pure Chinese - Iban mix bloodline where my grandma a pure Iban. That's why i kinda look like a bit native (more handsome lar... ha ha...., na... just joking bout the handsome part). And such phenomenon is quite common in Sarawak where more and more Chinese and Malay and mixing with other races (natives). Though it have been going on for the past half century, it is now a common sight in the community.

Well, thats all for the introduction to Sarawak now. Next post will be my first trip on the 1st of December 2008. See ya.

Second Trip - Miri

Well, actually i arrive at Miri three days ago but just manage to get online at my cousin house NOW.

So here is this. Been a great trip so far. Was driving myself down here last thursday using the new Coastal Highway road. I should say this, i'm actually quite impress with the road condition. Been staying in Sarawak for the last 24 years, yet this time that highway is quite good. Maybe part of it is new, so that's why. but i think that in the coming few years with the palm plantation going so rapidly with big trucks passing that road everyday, it soon gonna be like Serian - Sri Aman road. But at least i can enjoy the nice ride from Bintulu to Miri now right. Ha ha....

Still unable to post any pictures here now cos my cable left in Kuching. Sorry for that for the moment.

Anyway, after three darn days of exploring Miri city, i have manage to get to know most of the road. At least i can drive myself to some main places like home's, shopping malls, around the city inner part, beaches, and some main attraction places in Miri. Ha ha... from Luak to Pujut to Kuala baram. So how is it? Good? Ha ha.....

Ya ya... The one place that i love most in this city is the beaches. It's incredible. Well, not as good as Sabah one but it is nice. Have took like tons of the beaches photo. Most are sunsets. really nice. Will post it here as soon as i went back to Kuching later this month or next month.

The city is huge but not as huge as Kuching lar... Still Kuching the best though. Just that here we can see many Tycoon's BIG houses especially their Villa at High Hills facing the sea. And that is a lot here. Like SY Bosses, Samling Bosses and some other big shots in Sarawak Oil and Gas Industries, Plantation, Woods, Trading and etc... Too many here. All big big houses with at least three floors and large parking space that can accomodate at least twenty cars. So try to imagine that. And how many are there in Kuching? I don't think it is as many as in Miri. Damn....

Anyway tomorrow morning at seven will leave to KK. Will past Brunei so will try my best to take some real nice photos in Brunei especially Sultan Brunei Palace. And some nice scenery in Limbang and Lawas. Then i finish my second time travel from one end of Sarawak to another end of Sarawak. Ha ha...

So far so good. please do pray for my save journey come and fro from Kuching. So see you guys in KK then. Chao...

I'm Definitely Cool~~~

First trip - Bintulu

Well, am now in Bintulu but unable to upload all the photo that i have took for the first day. Been an exciting trip and now have almost master all the main road in Bintulu. When back in Kuching then i will upload the photos for public viewing.

Supposely have few meetings with some friends here. And thought that it could be rather long as what my friend told me. But seems like it is a short one where consensus were met fast and effective. Anyway, a rather nice chat with some old buddies from undergraduates years in UNIMAS.

Tomorrow will stay at my dear Uncle house somewhere nearby this parkcity as well. Well, would enjoy some precious time that i can spend with my cousin and relatives here. Been more than ten years i didn't actually have a holiday here at Bintulu. My last trip here was on 2004 where i just pass by Bintulu. But this time i drive so can plan and stay longer than before.

Here just some update on my trip venturing Borneo. Wish me luck and save journey.

Dabai

Saw some writing in a local newspaper today on a local fruit only found in Sarawak, particularly mainly in Sibu, Sarikei and Kapit area. It's called 'dabai' or 'Sibu olive' by some foreigners. but we locally normally called it as dabai.

It's a type of small fruit, olive look-a-like fruits, that have rich creamy and a bit sour taste in it. One can't cook it just like that. It was normally prepare in two ways. Soak it in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes till the fruit is a smooth and eatable or put in under heavy sun to make to dry and smoothen the fruit before consuming it. and normally we just dip it in some salt for flavoring.


Some local restaurant dry this fruits and preserve it. They normally used it to cook a local type of fried rice - 'Nasi Goreng Dabai'. Nice fried rice that i personally like a lot.

Merdeka Palace

Never in my life i went and stay in a 5 star hotel. But have these chances lately when my dad came to Kuching for a training organize by the state government. Here some pictures of the suite my dad was staying for the last 3 days training in Merdeka Palace.

Sematan and Palm Beach

Went to Sematan Again few weeks ago. Well, these pictures been a while and now just remember to post it in this Blog.

They have one of the most beautiful beaches in Kuching Area. Well, at least a decent one and that's why it attract me to go back there for the beach. I love beach.

And the houses there were built next to the beach in the town. Well, a covered place. So the residents there have nice viewS in late afternoon > Sunsets. That i like.

And of course, resorts. For those who don wish to spend too much money on traveling but wanna have nice vacation + relaxation, 'Palm Beach Resort' would be a good recommendation for those beach lovers > like me.

It's a stoner dude. I love this place. Wont stop coming here.

Lucheon and Dinner

It is Sunday and basically this is the day where i will laze my day off waiting for Monday. But this two days i didn't laze off just like that. So decided to cook nice Luncheon and Dinner for myself.

Introducing, 'Jeff' special 'Deep Fried Chicken Wing'. So prepare few chicken wings. Separate the drumstick from the wing. Then put in a deep bowl, put some salt to marinate it first and then an egg and mix it la. Before that, remember to wash it first. Hygene is important here. Then put in some frying flours. Can get it in any sundry or supermarket easily. I use KFC's packet one. Nice. Mix it all and put aside for five to ten minute.

Then put some more of that flour in a flat pan. Deep the chicken in the flour again, cover it all with flour and you can fried it.

Well, before that, please do heat up the cooking oil. And when ready, put on small heat and you can start fry the chicken.

If too hot, the chicken will be burn so remember to control the fire.

Fry untill the chicken is golden in color and tada... ready to be served.

Look like bought from restaurant one right. Ha ha... Below is my lunch for today. Plus dinner la. Ha ha....

Below is yesterday lunch and dinner.

But nothing all above beats my mom cooking. Last new year, we have Hot Pot. And there sat my dad, with his huge belly.

Ha ha....

I'm Cool~~~
