Their food fair is very successful and they earn about RM300k for this annually. The committee members are also 'big shot' and contribute lots to this center.


All sorts of food are sold; dried, cooked, raw, etc and the prices ranged from RM1.00 (kompia with meat) to RM200.00 (rotan baskets made by the inmates). Their products is always a sold out. The famous item for sale here is the meaty bun which sold for thousands each - unbeatable price! :D

Cuti Cuti Indonesia .... Bali

Ujung minggu empai lama tu tadi, kami duai menyanak bercuti-cuti Indonesia - 4 hari 3 malam! Rindu amat serta tau ngah endor bejalai menoa Bali tu. Tang enti baka aku ke enda tentu rindu berjemi di pantai - anang kiroh lama kin! Bujik di menoa enda nyadi JUTAWAN, din kami duai nyadi JUTAWAN selama 4 hari!!

Seminggu sebedau nurun, enda mukai gempabumi skala 6 di Bali ngah! Puas meda berita di tv ngandal ke berita pasal Bali. Nurun tauka ka enda? Besampi aja meh minta pengibun Allah Taalah maya ke din. Puji Tuhan, semua mujur; menoa din pen nadai ngawa!

Last weekend, Val and I spent a wonderful relaxing long weekend in Bali, Indonesia. It was a holiday filled with memories, adventures, and of course food! We managed to explore quite a bit of the countryside and the town. It was a difficult decision for me, whether to proceed with the holiday or not, in view that a week before we were to depart, Bali was hit by an earthquake! Praise the Lord, our journey was safe and we had a wonderful time.

Makai endang enda tau enda nguji pemakai Baliness - aku enda ingat ngambi gambar ikan tunu - tau ngah tang enda tek nyamai endal. Anak laban ke rindu ke Hard Rock Cafe lalu mai makai din. Nama agi, lalu makai tengahari dia meh kami sebuat!


Food has always been a big factor in all our travels and this one was no less! We actually tried Baliness food on our first day. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures in the excitement of trying the bbq fish, etc.. On the 2nd day it was lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, and it was Val's first lunch there and her first to the shop also!! :D Yes, I have been crazy about getting Hard Rock (original ;) ) t-shirts from the 1990s and have a wide collection. The food was great, and so was the price!!



Ikan Cajun aku ... chukup sedap; serta kentang aku nya chukup sedap meh!

Cajun Fish for me, delicioussssss ...







Kumang aku tu, endang nadai bukai - sirloin steak nya meh di empa iya.
Sayur tisi-tisi nya ambis dikutip aku!
Nothing but steak for my girl!!


Enda tau enda, mesti bergambar aba simbol!



Nya iya regang2 aba pantai! Pantai sida amat chukup bersi serta pasir burak endal. Endor kami duai tu endang mayoh bala orang Australia, laban sida rindu 'surfing' serta berjemi!
Sekeda bala nuh baka udang - cenang2!
In the afternoon, we spent walking along the Kuta Beach ... did I swim? ;)


Selemai kami makai, lalu di pelagu ke orang penebah muzik! Amat boleh tahan ngah sida tu berlagu, merdu suara; taja gamal sida nadai endal. 'apa permintaan, bu?' ko! :D
We were serenaded by these wonderful singers while enjoying our dinner! Wonderful singers!


Tua mega sempat raun-raun sebelah Bali. Ditu aba siti ari istana lama sida.

Aba Tanah Lot, chukup manah endal ngah menoa tu.
Temple by the sea - Tanah Lot!


Bali tu enti ka cuti-cuti ke pandak serta kira ke mudah; tau dilawak. Bali is indeed a beautiful place for a short vacation, and for those that love to be in water - its paradise! :D

Sarawak - My Home :D

I have enjoyed several blogs from USA, Oman, Australia, etc and Kelly's Korner is one of those that I have enjoyed reading for a couple of years. This week she is doing Show Us Your Life - International Day and I felt that I should contribute to this!


How best to describe and showcase where I come from?


I suddenly thought of this video made by Sarawak Convention Bureau (SCB) and its quite appropriate for me to write about them also, as they have been awarded me the Sarawak Convention Bureau International Scholarship 2011 for next year's International conference in South Korea! Yeah!! Thanks SCB!!





The video showcase part of the tribe & culture in Sarawak. I am actually lost for words to describe the beauty of this beautiful country of mine! :) Hope that the video have showcase a part of the beauty of Sarawak.


I have travelled through North America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and of course Asia ... and nothing beats exotically beautiful Sarawak.
