Backdated activities, trainings, makan as such...

I know, I know, I know...that I seriously had almost neglecting my blog.  Sometimes I do feel like wanted to update something but...you know, it's just kind of hard to break this habit.  *sigh*

Well, in case you were wondering what am I up to, all that I can say that I am doing pretty much the same thing I did...paintball trainings...and yes, next month I will be playing for a tournament in Kuching, my first speedball tournament in the country with a team that will made it's debut that day (will announce it as soon as it's making appearance lah *so perasan la AngeLBeaR...* . 

Being someone who just picking up playing...after being a referee for years, I know that I had to work extra hard for it.  Ya lah kan...orang stand pun tak betul, how la? 

But I do grateful that I still had people around me that never give up to train me, and telling me the things that I need to improve more.  Friends that never stop giving me support.  

2 markers that I am currently using to train.

Top one I named it Mr. Mac (belongs to Ari, in which I had it with me for safekeeping for the time being)

bottom is Ms-T (short form for Tsunami, the model name of the marker)

Most of my sifu's (yes, I trained with more than just 1 player) told me that I am improving - which is a good thing, right?  But somehow, I still feel like there is more to achieve, and I am still searching for it. 

Anyway, makan-makan is not excluded in my activities.

Sweet and spicy beef tripe from Kah Hiong Ngau Chap restaurant...not for the faint of heart.

A visit to Kah Hiong Ngau Chap Restaurant won't complete with these delicious 'ngau chap' or beef noodle soup. =)

Eating from a chopping board, creative presentation from Ooze Cafe

(somewhat reminded me of Jamie Oliver)

Fish kon lo mee from WanWan Coffee Shop for breakfast...

Fresh Taco Salad from Pancake International House for lunch the other day...

peace waffle for dessert, also from Pancake International House...

Fresh green seaweed to the heart's content from Pak Din Ikan Bakar...

Heavenly ice cream from Veda Blu...(Arry said she'll have me walk home if I just take 1 scoop, no kidding!)

Can never have enough of this famous 'Ikan Terbang' from Koki Bandung...

Sorry Ari, stock sudah habis...hihihihi~

Joanne is keeping us fit fat by bringing more goodies to the field.

My brother is not helping either.

Managed to find time for a short moment of peace...by Tanjung Aru Beach.

How I wish I am armed with my humble cam...but this will do.  

Love this shot of the Taiwanese couple.

so yeah...till the next post! 

Some Other Random Things I Did...

Some people might be surprised to see me in unlikely places.  

In an office, for example, they said that I look different from the 'AngeLBeaR' they used to see in the field.  You should have seen their faces whenever they saw me being 'lady like' (very much to my mom's approval) but how can you wear those pretty outfits that you got in a paintball field?

2 days ago, Leanna came to KK and asking for a favor.  There is an oil and gas exhibition going on at Magellan in Sutera Harbor so, yeah...yours truly to help her man the booth.  (Seriously, from paintball to engineering?)

Not that many exciting things I found or grab for this time, though.  (Yes, I changed my surname everytime it involves with this company.  Automatically, the director of this company has 3 awesome (chewah) daughters instead of 2! Hehehehe~)

But I do glad, these 2 days I meet up with some familiar faces though...from paintball! =)

 Met Ollie, one of my former Splatz1 team mate.

Notice the pink jacket? I recently got them from Brands Outlet.  Can't resist my favorite color...and yes, 

it's very cold in the hall so the jacket comes in handy. =)

 Ah...Riezanie, my team mate for the KK woodsball group.

He's here too to represent his company. =)  

See how 'tall' I am? hahahahaha~

The weather is favorable on the 1st day of the exhibition.

Managed to capture the sunset... =)

On the second day, which is yesterday and also the last day of the exhibition,

Gracy came for a visit!  =)

Andy and Sacha too!  =)

Sacha brought some of her dark chocolate cake and a small tub of ice cream to go with it.

Heavenly!!!!

Ah yes...

Managed to pose one for the album...

Photo taken by Leanna. 

=)

Anyway, it's been an awesome 2 days.  Thank you Sacha for the nice cake!  =)

Where Paintball Takes Me: Sandakan

I am sorry that I had been slacking a lot in my blog lately.  

Just want to let you all know (if you still reading my blog), that I am still alive, healthy and doing well.  =)

Anyway, recently I went to Sandakan to support their first paintball tournament for their district - the Sandakan 3 vs 3 men challenge with Team Mawas from KK.  It's quite a long journey, about 400km plus from KK.  

Woke up early and waited for Eri & Azie to pick me up at 8am, we dropped by at Ciko's and then headed to Tuaran for breakfast at Sofian's mother's little canteen while waiting.  Man arrived shortly. We're supposed to leave with Muss and Sofian but the guys got things to settled so only 5 of us leaving early.  Runny arrived Sandakan earlier than us by flight, Sharma already waiting in Sandakan and Hazeeq was due to arrive in the evening.  It was already almost 9:30am when we left.

It was quite an adventure and though it's kinda tiring, but the company of great friends makes the journey enjoyable.  We stopped in Telupid for lunch and continued our journey, every once in a while dozed off and woke up again.  (Thankfully I am not having too much sugar, else will be getting hyperactive in the car and risked me getting dropped off in the middle of nowhere =p).  Weather is favorable along the way, just a little drizzle when we finally reached Bandar Indah, Sandakan at about 5pm.  Checked into Hotel Indah, went for walk the field. 

I let the photos below tell you how my days spent...

I managed to spare a little time to meet up with an old friend...whom I haven't meet for almost 10 years...

Nice to see you again, Jojon! =)

And yes...I have been busy especially on weekends.  For someone who is going to play on a competitive level after becoming a referee for so long...(and I am going to tell about it soon!)...it is not easy.  It's a whole new different level between playing and being a referee.  So, I get into the field with whomever came to train, else I am content just to run around on my own.

 

That's about it, I guess..from the first day Chinese New Year holidays, I am in the field, still in the field and hoping that at least I can improve to play a bit.  Well...I might be slow in improving, but I am a work in progress.  I am truly grateful for everyone around that never stopped encouraging me, those patiently training me, teams who allowed me to train with you all.  I am thankful for being there for me. =)

Well, till the next post!  =)

What's Soup, everyone?

So, I did managed to steal a little time from my work at Sabah Tea Garden (and yet still not telling what I had been doing there...LOL), eating...of course, was never left out from my usual activity...well...sort of.  Apart from the tight schedule and all, I managed to relax a while and yeah...steal some moments to just sit down and relax and enjoy the food...

A nice view to start my morning...before another day of hectic schedule and whatnot begins...

Green....

Well, it's been raining for few days during my stay there...so this caught my eye in the menu and I ordered it without thinking twice:

Sabah Tea Soup.  

Broth made of tea and then they also put in some tea leaves in it (see photo) with some chicken, carrots, mushrooms.  It tasted a little bit bland and bitter, maybe because they wanted you to savor the tea flavor but I think this suits very well for those who had a hangover or cold.  

So, what I had been doing there, you ask?

Just wait for my next post! =)

30DBC Day 16: Replacement...

Well, if you been following my blog, you'll know that like most of my Borneo peers, that I am one of those Sabahans who are crazy of the Twiggies.  

Anyway, it will be a long time before I get another batch of Twiggies to enjoy...so for now, I got its replacement...

Tada!!!!

It's Fudgee Barr cake, product of Philippines, and it's available in most supermarkets here.  So for now, I know I won't be pining for Twiggies that much...my favorite is vanilla...what's your favorite?

30 Days Blog Challenge D4: Twiggies!

Apart from missing my blogger and paintball friends in West Malaysia, I miss all the food that I can't get it in KK, one of those in my lists are these...

I requested from Badman to get some for me as he is also attended the recent WPPL in Labuan.

Most of my West Malaysian friends won't believe it when I told them that we don't have these in Sabah.  The latest I learnt, that sometimes it's available in Labuan.  Why la not selling these in KK?!?

Anyway, thank you Badman for the Twiggies (he actually brought several packs of those but I only show one over here lah...or else later there will be quite a number of mice coming in asking for their share...mana boleh....hahahahaa!)

Once again, thank you so much! =)

30 Days Blog Challenge D3: Thank You For the Goodies!!!

There's nothing much more happier than receiving a lot of good food...

Recently during the tournament weekend in Labuan, Yazid gave me these as a token of friendship, all the way from Brunei:

Thank you so much bro!!! =)

Dinner at Sailor's Cafe

Recently yours truly went for dinner at Sailor's Cafe at Grand Millenium plaza.  

Well, I actually went to the Plaza mostly for dimsum or buying groceries at CKS Hypermarket and never tried this place before.  So, finally, here I am.

I regretted that I didn't bring my humble cam that day.  Or else can take photo of the environment, well I guess that will do next time.  =/

To cut long story short, here's what we had: (pardon me with the photo quality...am using my phone to snap it)

Kay's carrot juice

It's pretty hot lately so I opted for cold water.

They serve it in this green bottle.  My guess that they re-used the wine bottles, 

which is good, rather than throw it away. =)

I don't know what to have so I opt for that day's special.

Salmon steak.

The fish was cooked nicely, suit to my preferences.  It also came with a nice heap of fresh salad 

and beneath the fish is a heap of side dish that was made of eggplants mix with other vegetables.  I love it.  I wish I had ordered some garlic bread to eat it with.

Kay ordered lamb chop.

Also tasted good.  She used her garlic bread and scrap my eggplant with it =p

What I like is the generous pieces of well done lamb chops.

I ordered Cajun chicken salad but sadly, I guess the waiter had forgotten so it never came.  =(  But the portion of the food is more than enough.  It's a good thing they forgot about it.  But, instead, I ordered banana split for dessert but after waiting for quite some time, it never arrived.  

Only then when we asked for the bill (after called the staff several times), they came and when we look through the bill, the cajun chicken salad was not in the bill (thankfully) but the banana split is!  We told the waitress that the dessert never arrived but she just simply replied to us that 'Oh, it's already been made, and will come soon...'  and giving excuses that there are quite a 'lot' of customers coming in that evening that they are quite busy.  (I am in no mood to argue anyway when I could have asked her to explain that when we first arrived there, that wasn't that many people around and yet her colleague could have missed my chicken salad)

*sigh*  am a little disappointed at this part since she could have given the courtesy to apologize and explain to us, not when we wanted to ask her to omit the item from the list only then she told us ma... geez...

So...the banana split came anyway: (because we are being nice and patient that day, so we stayed on waiting for it to arrive)

Nonetheless, the food is good in terms of taste and pricing is affordable too.  I like the ambiance of the cafe too.  But I do wish the next time I visited again, the service will improve.  *cross fingers*
