Our favourite ABC and Rojak stall in Miri ;-)

Thanks to a dear Miri-an friend who introduced this to Augustine many months ago, we now frequent this stall in Krokop on a regular basis. Why? Coz the ABC is really huge with lots ingredients and we can opt for either fresh milk or brown sugar topping. Our preference is fresh milk. Always 100% satisfying for a hot day! The other reason is they make one of the best Rojak we've ever had! Bonus : very hot chilli paste is provided at the side of the plate ;-) The noodle stall next door also makes yummy noodles, we like their "char kuey teow".

Augustine and I grew up frequenting this "Fajar Rojak" stall in Uptown DU back home. The couple manning this stall is one of my far relatives (mom's bro-in-law's cousin) and my dad was a #1 fan. We never forget to visit this stall whenever we are home and their "popiah" is also a must-have. The other Rojak stall Augustine likes is behind Atria shopping centre at DJ but I didn't think it was nice. Another Rojak stall I must mention is Rojak Ah Chai in Teluk Intan which is also very good and they've appeared in papers and on tv.

What about your favourite Rojak?

Swimming at the club

In my previous post titled Kelab Rekreasi Petroliam, I talked about Augustine and I going to the gym and playing badminton regularly. After a few badminton sessions with me (note : with me, not with his mates), Augustine started complaining that I was such a bore to play badminton with. Well, I admit I am not good at badminton but I did enjoy the sessions a lot (which Augustine very much doubted sobs).

So we moved on to the pool. Now, he's madly in love with it LOL and so we've been going swimming almost everyday! We're not that good at it like so many regulars at the pool swimming laps and laps but we do enjoy swimming at our own pace. Being in the pool is also pretty relaxing, I am sure if we had any stress, we would be able to de-stress in the pool. After swimming, we usually shower at the club and then read newspapers in the club lounge. A pretty good way to unwind after work right ;-)

法證先鋒 II (Forensic Heroes II)

We watched 法證先鋒 II (Forensic Heroes II) recently and thought it was quite good ;-) The series focused on how the Hong Kong police and a group of forensic scientists, equipped with the latest technology, worked together to solve crimes. Besides the serious stuff, there were also lots comedic moments and family stuff in the series that I enjoyed ;-)

Some of my thoughts on the actors and actresses in this series...

欧阳震华 (Bobby Au Yeung Chun Wah) is really good at his role. He's not the most handsome guy around but I think this series will not work without him!

I thought 林文龍 (Frankie Lam Man Lung) looks a lot older now.

I quite like 钟嘉欣 (Linda Chung Ka-Yan) in the series but unfortunately, her character died after only a few episodes.

郑嘉颖 (Kevin Cheng Ka-Weng) and 佘诗曼 (Charmaine Sheh Sze Man) are two new characters for part II of this series and they were really good at their roles. I thought their relationship weren't going to last coz throughout the series, there were many scenes of Charmaine and Frankie's characters getting along really well too. But I am glad it did ;-)

Malaysian 楊秀惠 (Vivien Yeo) had a role in the police team and I was actually disappointed with not only her acting but also her Cantonese which I could not quite catch throughout the series. Maybe it's just me.

The other character I found really cute and like-able is "Formula" by 陳美詩 (Macy Chan) playing the role of a police officer as well as a cousin to Kevin's character.

Definitely looking forward to Part III if there is going to be one in the future!

Thank You For The Cross / Syukur Atas Kuasa SalibMu

One of the songs we sang for Christmas Day service and again last Sunday ;-) Lyrics for both English and BM below.

Thank You For The Cross
Thank You for the Cross, the mighty Cross
That God Himself should die for such as us
And ev'ryday we're changed
Into Your image more and more
Yes, by the Cross we've truly been transformed

And we're so amazed, and we give You praise
That you would save us at such a cost
And we're so amazed, and we give You praise
For the power of the cross
For the power of the cross

Syukur Atas Kuasa SalibMu
Syukur atas Kuasa SalibMu
Yesus rela mati bagiku
Setiap waktu ku diubah
Serupa dengan Mu
KuasaMu sanggup pulihkanku

Ku terpersona
Dan memberi syukur
Kau S'lamatkan ku dengan darahMu
Ku terpersona
Dan memujiMu
Atas kuasa salibMu
