Haha! Funny, educational and of course, well done! Clap! Clap! And cheers for a Sarawakian like you. U really so free hor, one post after another so fast leh!
Wow! You are creative as well! Hahaha!!! Thanks for doing the tag. Have a nice day!
Thank God you didn't tag me ( so thick-skinned!) cos I really don't know how to answer leh! Haha! :P
I am so blur. I was going to ask you if that conversation really took place in your IRC. No, right?
oh dear...the truth about sarawak! *Clicking into airasia* I wana fly there soon, so interesting...haha
Aunty Alice: Thankiu!:P Actually not really free lah. All these no need photos, so won't take up much time. Sekali finish also good mah. hehe.
Clare: No worries! Satisfied with my answers?:P
Dancing Queen: Aiyo, you sure know one lah. So simple things, cannot be you don't know. :P
mum in miri: Nolah, this is a tag actually. haha! Just that, some of the questions are quite similar to those which took place in an IRC conversation. hehe. Don't blur don't blur. haha
xiu long bao: Haha! Interesting right? Sarawak has lots of fun one. Somemore hoh, all the food cheap cheap. You can eat as much as you can. haha!
Looks like u are really celebrating your 'freedom'.
KOK, such a relief that your exams over hor? So now very busy blogging hor?
I've been to Kuching and me and my family had a wonderful time together with the rest of my office colleagues and their families. It was our company's trip. My daughter especially love the rich cultural history that Kuching still maintains. Thumbs up to all Sarawakians!
So sorry that I've not been visiting your blog nor any of the others of late as I have so many other things to do and hardly any time left for my own relaxation. Let me wish you a very belated happy birthday. This is the age and time for you to enjoy your life to its fullest as there's no turning back.
So, have you tried out Aunty Judy's receipe by now? I tell you, this friend of mine hor, she speaks the truth wan. From young, she has never had to prepare any meals while she was still staying under her parents' roof. But the minute she moved away, poor girl had to do everything from washing to cooking! She's a real "siew chiak" (princess)! But now you see the food that she dishes out - WOW, lau eh! So I'm sure you would be able to outbeat her!
Aiya, you can call me jie jie, aunty, anything lah. No lah, better call me ilene will do - want to feel young mah!
Ok, go and have yourself an enjoyable time now that the exam over!
Of course satisfied lah, it's not so much for the answer though...it's the witty way you answer people when you were asked those questions that insult your roots (and mine too) But I am glad a lot of Sarawakian came up with creative answers to shoot back at those ignorant people.
i like the way u phrase it =)
tummythoz: I am! haha! You can roughly guess from the amount of posts eh?:P
ilene: Ya, exam over liao! Glad everything is done. Busy blogging? Not really lah. Lots of plan ahead. hehe.
Oh, you've been to Kuching before? Next time round, come to Miri visit me lah. I know Miri is small but maybe, you'll find it nice.
Thank you for the birthday wish. I know you're busy, so, don't worry bout bloghopping first. Like me, done with my stuff, then only come back to blog (actually I never stop blogging during exam :P) Anyway, thanks for the birthday wish again ah!:)
I haven't tried it yet oh. I still have something going on for the next 10 days. So, might be after that then, I'll go and shop for the ingredients to bake. Wah, you review Aunty Judy's secret eh? haha! Pssst...tell me more, tell me more. :P I don't think I can match Aunty Judy lah. She's way too good. Look at the strawberry cheesecake she made. Alamak! Like those in bakery one leh. hehe.
Hmm...like that I'll stick to Ilene lah. Don't make it so complicated. haha!
Thanks! I'll try to make full use of this holiday. :)
clare: I agree with you. Sometimes we have to stand up and tell the world about our root. It's no shame we come from Sarawak right? haha!
spring: Thank you thank you. It just randomly pop up from my mind actually. hehe.
does anyone actually believe what you just wrote? Lol... tell me if thr's any... rmb!!
I missed this post! NVm, your answers are all sufficient and creative. Thumbs up! Hehehe
