New Lease Of Life.

I'm back to Putrajaya. Again. After my course is over. So now, I'm back to my previous department. Since I've not been assigned a post yet, things can get a little slow, though I use this time to recuperate from my 7 1/2 months of work hiatus. Who would have thought it is over in a blink of an eye.

Sabah trip, again.

I'm in Sabah, again. This time is for field research. I'll be placed in a district with a foster family and do a qualitative research on poverty in this district. Well, I've never been to Kota Marudu, but I'm sure it's gonna be an adventure for me no doubt. :)

INTAN Sabah is so awesome. The rooms are neat. 3-4stars hotel equivalent. It looks more like a chalet. What is missing is a beach or else it will be a holiday spot.

Kuching

Home sweet home.

There's really no place like home. Finally, I have a long break from my 7 months course. My knee got hurt during military training i went a couple weeks ago, which makes me winch every time I climb the stairs or knee.

Whenever I'm back, I'll make it a point to eat as many Kuching delicacies I could find. I even made a list:

Kolo Mee - the best I had is at open air market. Look for the stall with a yellow sign board.
Kampua Mee
Mee Sup
Laksa
Tomato Mee - Petanak Market
Tomato Kuey Teow
Kuey Chap
Sio Bee - Open air market. - The one and only
Rojak Sotong Kangkung

I can only think of these. It has been awhile since I had those. Those I'm manage to find are in italic.

Last Tuesday, I drove down to Lundu with my parents, with the sole purpose of buying...


FRESH CRABS.

It' s full moon and a good time to eat crabs as they are HUGE at this time of the month. The trick is to come to Lundu wet market around 3pm. My mum told me that, she has been here a few times, at the end of the year when she have to be on duty for SPM examination.
True enough, at 3.30pm, this Pak Aji came with a basket of freshly caught crabs. Considering the long drive, i bought 3 kgs.

Mummy cooked sweet sour and curry crabs that night. Now, that is AWESOME.

Air Terjun Mahua

Sabah is a great place to be. Too bad I was there only for a few days and I didnt get to go to the islands. Anyway, I managed to find my way to Tambunan thanks to a colleague, Clarice and family who have been so hospitable during my brief stay there.

I got drenched, by just taking this, the force of the water falling is strong, with a thunderous roar and cause strong misty wind to wet me and my camera.

I like the hair colour! I looks like mahogany and contrast with the whole pic.

A favorite shot of mine though slightly overexposed. Anyway, I like the way the sun lights the dress, not in a harsh way.

Taken at Jong Crocodile Farm.
Quite a beautiful place expecially the lily pond.
The model is quite experience too and the weather was just nice.
