I've had the best of time this past few days. Being back in Kuching is the first plus, then there's the FOOD~~~
Last Thursday, I had Lasagna. At Pete's Corner with my third auntie. It's good. And I love the mushroom soup. It's so different from what we usually have, more creamy and strong.
Last Saturday, I went to a new cafe, Jing Si Books and Cafe with fishy and odie. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful and the perfect place to enjoy a book along with a cup of tea. ^^That night, I tried out another new place, Simplitious. I love the grilled chicken, it's so juicy! And the mashed potato is great!
Last Sunday, I went to Bla, bla, bla... with my cousin, sis, aunt and grandma. That's asian cuisine. It's great and taste delicious. Egg floss fish, salted squid, Tofu with assorted seafood and Roasted duck with mango salad(from The Junk). Yummy~~~
Today, I went to Yu Garden Crystal Grill and Steamboat. Hmmm... I'm so full. It's buffet all you can eat style. With choices of chicken, beef and lamb marinated. Or squid, clam, fish and other seafood. There's all types of frozen food for the steamboat and you can have both tom yam and chicken soup. After that there's ice cream and ice kacang.. Heavenly~~~ It's really nice!
This coming Wednesday, I'm having dinner with third auntie, granny and mum. At Batu lintang. Gonna have the oyster omelet and roasted chicken that's one of my fav.
This coming Thursday is dinner at The Dyak with godmum, aunt, gran and sis. That's something I'm looking forward to as it's all tradisional Dayak food. I've never tried before.
Then Sunday is steamboat with a bunch of couz and sis and aunt at D11. A new place behind Hornbill. Wow! My schedule is so full. No wonder I have a feeling I'm putting on weight. XP

The Hunger Games
I just finished the trilogy. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay. It's good. No, it's great! I <3 it. My feeling are still in turmoil for it.. >< Havent seen the movie yet, but wish to soon. I don't regret one bit about buying the book. ^^
"Beware of spoilers ahead" It's heartening, the twist and turns of events. And I really pity Katniss. It's difficult for her. I like the ending a lot. It's the best possible way to end the story. Gale and Peeta are a hard choice for her but really, I found Gale too violent. He isn't right for her with his hatred and lack of compassion. Peeta would be a better choice and you can see he is good for her.
I really hate that Prim has to die... But if she didn't the story won't be able to continue. Still, Katniss loves her and it's hard. But overall, I can't decide who I hate most, President Snow or Coin. They are so manipulative. Thank goodness they are both killed..
The story is still on my mind.. Until i find another good book, this will probably be on my mind. I think, overall, I'd rate it 8/10! ^^ It's a nice change from what I've read. Magic from Harry Potter, vampire and warewolf from twilight, aliens from I am Number 4, future detective + romance from the in death series, regency romance from Stephanie Laurens and Julia Quinn and many more... This is new, future+ near extinction of mankind, technology that is advanced yet poor in some parts... A new kind of book for me..

Recipe
I had a craving for a macoroni salad my aunt made during CNY. And so I had the idea to make it now that I have a rice cooker. ^^ But I can't get all the necessary ingredients and even if I got it, I don't have the proper storage.. >< So, I made some changes to the recipe. XP
The original besides the main ingredient macoroni is chicken strips, japanese mayonaise, pineapple cube and cheese cubes. Mix everything together and freeze in refrigerator and it's complete!
The modified recipe is besides macoroni, tuna in mayonaise (the ayam brands we can buy easily in supermarket), raisins(small box packet type), sunflower seed(the packet kind as well without the shells) and still cheese slice (cut into small slice)..
And I <3 it! ^^

Conflict
A continuation of the previous post! This is my first experience in what is politicking! We are doing management paper this semester and it seems we are lucky enough to have a first hand experience of what is office politics. ^^ Of course, not as the party involved but as bystanders. And unfortunately, the unlucky victims to be affected. XP
So, last post states that the tutor is "innocent" and the lecturer is "evil". After so many days, we had quite a version of story from both parties. Each blaming the other and saying they "dont want to mention names but you know who..." Really, it's interesting the stories they tell.
The lecturer said, he harass her. And even raised his fists to her and she was frightened and had to have bodyguards around her to escourt her home. Then she said he was bad mouthing her and talking behind her back and she even had a consultation with her lawyer about it. She said he was changing our marks, downgrading our grades after we had signed on the test paper after confirming the marks.
The tutor said she was ignoring him and going back on her words putting the blame on him. He said she ordered him to have a few students barred from exam without proper reason. He said he is tired and just wish she would let things be. He said she told him to decrease our marks as there are too many high grades and the passing rate is too high.He said he had no idea what she was up to with all the small actions behind his back.
Conflict! We just listened and decided to be sympathetic bystanders. After all, we can form our own opinion from all these.
Conclusion: The tutor is not as innocent as he claimed and the lecturer might not be as faultless as she says.
They both have hidden agendas and god knows who's right. Best just stand aside and let things be.

It's a crazy week!
I begin the week happily. Got my test result for Organisation and Human Resource(OHR) on monday. Result was better than expected. Above 70! ^^ As a lot of people fail, above 70 is good enough..
Then I have my english presentation which just afect my happiness a little. As the overall english test+presentation+report is around 70 marks. It just made me sad... Only a little. Didn't expect much at the time after how bad I did on the test... >< Anyways, there's still the OHR that I was happy about.
Next my Tamadun Islam dan Asia Tenggara test paper was returned! My mood elevated again as I got above 90 marks.. ^^ So overall I was feeling happy!
But guess what happen next? Our tutor for OHR was complained by some students. They say he practised favouritism during marking and leaked questions out to students before test. It is believed that this group of students are the ones who fail. The thing is these are all accusations. Then, they found a girl who was "clever" enough to post the tips she got from unknown source on facebook for everyone to see. The issue now become very serious as the branch campuses student complained too. So what's the solution our so called "experienced and teach advance management paper" lecturer came up with? There's only 2 choices now, remark all the paper under our tutor or we resit the test!
Next week is our final week for this semester. Our exam is the week after next. And guess what? The lecturer say all the groups are resitting the paper next week! OMG! One week before exam and you want us to do the test again. That just ruin my mood all over. So so so sad!!! T_T
I start the week happily and it just keep going down the dumps... Haihz.....

A short little outing
Because of replacement class, Friday and Saturday which was supposed to be free is busy now. But as compensation, we took a trip to KLCC. The first stop was lunch! At one of my favourite place, Nando's! I love the peri-peri spiciness of the chicken and chips. The potato salad was good and washed down with iced lemon tea, even better~~ <3
Then we went to the movies. We watched Mr. & Mrs. Gamble.. It's a comedy with lots of hilarious scene. The male n female lead are both gamblers.
After that, we went to my favourite bookstore! Kinokuniya~ <3 This is the best bookstore in our country. That's my opinion anyways. >.< It's great in there!

My Fav
I <3 my portable DVD player! ^^ Because my laptop has been working overtime the last two semester multitasking between online, playing DVD and download, I had the idea of buying a portable DVD player to play my discs. Minimising my laptop's workload. Before coming back to KL, I bought a "made in China" SONY portable player.
Luckily I brought the manual guide and all the accessories coming with it here to KL with me. As a result, I have an added bonus! My player can not only play DVD, it can receive TV transmission. I can now watch TV1, 2, 3, ntv7, 8TV and 9TV. <3 Now, I can watch Criminal Mind and NCIS, rookie blue, those English movies, Chinese movies and so much more.. Hehehe... <3 <3
