: : Wena in Animal Crossing ~ Wild World ~
Righty-ho. *Cough cough*
Wena is now in Animal Crossing online. So, if you would like to peep into her little town, please drop your email details in the Comments section.
I’m really good in fishing. Can’t seem to run away from fishing in any game. lol!
Setting it up was pretty easy with step-by-step instructions. Provided you’re near a WiFi hotspot or with an access point nearby. I struggled with this silly WiFi Max for about 2 days before finally managed to get it done. The PSP one also works on the Nintendo DS, regardless of what is being said on the packaging.
So, anyone wanted to come, do tinkle a bit. 🙂
Mind you, my town is very very BARE. Just started today! LOL!
: : Eating in Miri : :
I’ve been getting a few requests about what to eat in Miri. Here’s the standard reply and I’m … ah… sort of lazy to post it up. It’s actually for a Norwegian who is heading there to work.
On a separate note, I may be back in Miri during April – May. Have to see if the training is confirmed first before going.
hi there,
u’re in luck. i’m from miri, actually. 🙂
there’s many places to eat in miri but i may be a bit out of touch because i only go back twice a year and usually eat where my parents bring me.
depending on what’s his budget and whether he’s “adventureous” enough to turn a blind eye on the cleanliness of the area. i’ll put a note on how clean each area will be.
miri city council is extremely pro-active in ensuring food hygiene in miri. each coffee shop would be given a grade on the cleanliness of its premises. plus, it’s mandatory to boil water for any drinks, be it hot drinks or cold drinks so that’s a good sign.
hmm..seafood eh? i usually eat at this seafood place called Apollo Seafood at Apollo Hotel. It’s in the middle of town, family own business that is doing pretty well for itself. It’s diagonal to the MAS office in Miri. note that non-halal so he can order pork if he wishes. House specialty is the Drunken Prawn. Ifyou don’t mind the cost, they will throw in live fresh water prawn into Chinese rice wine and boil it. however, you can ask them to use frozen prawns which is cheaper. it’s a must-have for me when i go back because can’t find a decent restaurant in kuching that can cook it. other types of seafood, they prefer well as well.
there is an expensive seafood restaurant out of town, along the way to Bakam, past the Teacher’s Training College. it’s a chain from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Fish can be ordered fresh and is extremely delicious but at a cost. they do also have frozen fish too for those budget watchers but still more expensive than Apollo Seafood. Still, it’s very very good food as the way they cook it is different from Apollo Seafood.
btw, whatever happens, tell your friend that he does NOT want to eat tourist food i.e. sweet and sour fish, fried rice , lemon chicken, mixed veggie that is only cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, sweetpeas. try something else, there are a lot of different types of food that does not have to be spicy. just, don’t touch tourist food.
and if he misses food back home, Marriott hotel is nearby and they have a really good selection of food. chef is european i think but not sure from where. but, food is really good, to me anyways. and i’m an extremely fussy eater.
other places to eat : dim sum at grand palace hotel. the most expensive place to eat dim sum but worth it. to me anyways. can’t get decent dim sum in kuching. in miri, grand palace hotel cooks it hong kong style so it’s pretty good. he can also rough it out at a coffeeshop (open air) known as Wawasan 2020 (don’t ask why it’s called that) and have their dim sum too. 2020 is open everyday. Grand Palace hotel – weekends only and best to go early before the church crowds go. then it’s packed, especially sundays.
he must try kolo mee i.e. dry boiled noodles. there is a specific shop that i used togoto with my parents at the old vegetable market in the middle of town. they are only open after 7 pm or was it 7.30 pm? they’re mee is amazingly tasty. i need to check with my parents on the stall number and get back to you on this one. the steam chicken is also nice to eat.
cheerio.
Wena
: : Fruit Cookies : :
Finally! Manage a picture up. Watermelon Cookies made by a friend for the Hari Raya Celebrations. It was delicious and scrumptious. Yummy yummy!
You know, one thing about living in Malaysia, is that all sorts of cookies starts popping up during the festival periods. I mean, this is just one type. The ladies would go out of their way to get the most delightful looking ones either by baking it themselves or buying it from other ladies.
On a side note, I got a new toy : click here. Ain’t she a beauty? Jas helped me to get it from the USA so that there’s at least some warranty to this thing. So, I’m now playing around with Kiki my little puppy. Sad to say that Wena got so excited that she trained the puppy until she became too tired to learn. Oh well. Now, the question is whether to get other puppies. Ahem. 🙂
Or probably borrow Abat’s cartridges and get some puppies transfered into the DS unit. Anyway, that’s for something back in Miri.
As well as Animal Crossing. Well, maybe.
: : Cuteness : :
I’m still trying to wrestle with the issue of uploading pictures online. Bah! Weak connection streamyx in Tabuan Jaya, Kuching. You can tell when the kids are allowed to surf the net (6 – 7 p.m.). Then again, it also still slows down during the night time. Then it’s adult surfing 10 p.m. till 1 a.m. Extreme frustration at Telekom at the moment.
Although at the moment, I’m amazed to actually to be able to log on to Flyff. Free game but massive lags. Once in a while, someone would scream something in Malay or Manglish/Singlish. I like the cute graphics though. Lag, definitely not. Kiddy cousins, ahem. Please do not nag your parents. It’s too long a download (took me 3 days).
And for a free game of that size, there’s only 4 GMs. Haiyo. First time I see a huge game with only 4 GMs and not enough forum moderators.
And I got messages from friends asking what’s happening to this blog. Sigh. Until the line is more reliable for heavy traffic, will be posting picture-less postings until it’s up and running better.
: : Free Gmail : :
BTW, does anyone want a free Gmail account?
Drop me an email at myremi (at) gmail.com and I’ll send you an invite. Note that for Hotmail users, I think it goes into the SPAM folder or gets blocked out completely so you’ll need to drop me a different email address.
