Last Working Day of The Year

For many of us who are taking leaves until next year... These were how we look on December 23rd right before Christmas holiday. Snap Snap for the memory! :D

Skype moment with Ba'kelalan

Ba'kelalan is a remote area in the Heart of Borneo where the 'Lun Bawang' a local etnic group stays. The flight to Ba'kelalan is only 3 times a week on a twin otter by MasWing. It is a nice and cool place to visit if you are into the nature and to learn more about the culture of the people there. More about Ba'kelalan, please visit HERE.

I was there back in June and blogged about the place as well http://aliciaks.blogspot.com/2011/06/mama-hen-baby-ducklings.html

UNIMAS, the local university in Sarawak has a project there on tele-centre to help the local communities to be connected to the world. As I made good friends there, I had the first skype session with 2 of the community leaders there. The village head and area chieftain of the village. It was short and sweet but we were all very happy to see each other online. The most memorable question was 'Where are you now?' I guess that was to confirm that I was really in Kuching and not nearby. 

It was indeed a historical moment in life.

Chinese New Year Pineapple Tarts for Sale!

I've always love to eat one of those 'Melts in Your Mouth' pineapple tarts and couple years ago, I tried baking it myself with some help from the recipe I got through google search and it worked out quite well. Back then, I baked some for eating pleasure and shared with my friends, relatives and colleagues coz good things are meant to be shared! 

Since I will not start working until 10 January and Chinese New Year is so near, Angela suggested I should bake pineapple tarts for sale and she would be my first customer coz she just missed the taste of it. By posting the picture in Facebook (Click Here) informing most of my close friends yesterday, I now have 15 orders and it will definitely increase as I still have to bake for myself.. 

I have bought 20pcs pineapple and did the pineapple peeling and blending work yesterday. Such a tiring work.. hehe. The first batch of the baked pineapple tarts should be available from tomorrow onwards selling at RM20 for 50pcs.

The secret of why it is so irresistible is because of of two elements which are

100% Golden Churn Butter 

100% Fresh Pineapple

How does the pineapple tarts look like,

.:Peeling and cutting the pineapple 'like pro':.

.:Cook it for about 2 hours until it's brown & dry and add some sugar & Cinnamon:.

.:The waste is so heavy T_T:.

If you are in Kuching and have read this post before 25th January 2011 and craving for pineapple tarts like this, it means it's still on time to order. Email me at aliciakcng@hotmail.com or PM me in Facebook (Alicia Ng). It's RM24 per container of 50pcs and you can choose to collect from my house or I can send to you if you stay within 8km from town area. ;)

Ma Room... with new sleeping auras

As posted in my previous post, I have been working on my room project 101. I started having the thoughts of wanting to repaint the room or put on wall paper since 2 years ago but have been quite broke and can’t find inspiration of how I really want the room to be…

Anyway, the painting was quite boring coz I’m doing it alone but as usual... the art has no boundary…

. :Tools :.

.:Progress:.

. :Sakura 'my version':.

. :Even Iwan thinks it’s boring :.

They finally fixed the curtain and put on the wall paper yesterday.

. :Before :.

. :After :.

Why pink? I don’t know…. It’s my latest favourite colour I guess… I’ve been sticking with black, white and purple since forever and it has changed recently to magenta and pink after I painted my apartment 2 years ago coz it’s sweet, soft and sexy like the beautiful cherry blossom. I feel calm with these colour tones. It's how people change from time to time without knowing it… High influence from our surrounding.

Why speding on my room and not a new lap top or digital cam or anything more useful? I do feel that the room is priority coz it's where I rest and to sleep in a room you like, it brighten up your day, sleeps well and you feel good about yourself. It's a whole new feel :) and besides, people can present me a lap top or digital camera but not painting labour or even sticking wallpaper right? he he he

Lousy Saturday

Have to be the MOD last night, meaning spending 1 night in the hotel...

12.30am.. my hand phone rang & it was Johnny who had clumsily locked himself outside the apartment while he was in between the door and the gate. Wanted to laugh at him but I was just too tired. He left the key inside... Thought him how to unlock the door without key and went back to sleep.

2.00am.. the hotel phone rang & it was security asking if I would like to go rounding with them. WTF why didn't call in the morning but now! But I was alright.. never been in a bad mood after i wake up anyway. So I had nicely told them I will do it the next morning.

Had a stupid dream as well... Lots of people involved in the dream, went to a lot of places in Kuching too... it was a lousy saturday night and i didn't go to visit my grandparents grave this morning because I have to work... haiz... was actually looking forward to it.
