Sibu Island

I AM BACK! back from survivor island! I'm not exaggerating but the place is seriously survivor island to me. The games we played were fun though super tiring. My body is still aching all over now. But the place was simply too basic for me to live in.

What does this look lk to u?

The first thing that blurted out from my dad's mouth when he saw this pic was "toilet ar?" NOOOOO i stayed in there! there's no door can! the toilet, the main door, were just covered by a cloth! We had to inform each other not to go into the toilet whenever we are doing something tt should involve closing the door.

I slept in a mosquito net.

Poor me, I was bitten by some unknown thing on the first night there, leaving me sleepless for the entire night. My entire neck started itchy and patches started appearing on my arm. Worst of all, half my face, esp my eyes were swollen and numb, leaving me with no eyes to be seen (i can feel my goosebumps while typing this) Fortunately for me, the itchy and patches on my arm went off by the time I woke up and the swell on my eyes went down by lunch time. SO SCARY!!

Before i move on, I need to make a point to comment my wonderful colleague who shared a bed with me (there's another double bed in the hut we lived so we decided to share it). She slept liked a dead log while i tossed and turned so uncomfortably in bed. After almost an hour of tossing, she finally moved so I decided to tell her my condition. GUESS WHAT?!?! she just said "oh no. you have no eyes. what can i do?" and fell back into her deep sleep IMMEDIATELY! I could have just died beside her! sigh.......

We had to take a speed boat to reach Sibu island.

The place is really dark at night and my hut was soo far in. I was basically stumbling through the dark. The place is really this dark. It's not becoz of my cam.

No offense to Caucasians reading this blog now but this place seems to be a paradise to the Caucasians. I've no idea why they dig kampong life. I love civilization!!!!!! All beaches in Malaysia look the same to me. Clear water, mountains in front etc but other places have sooo much nicer resorts!

Chilling out after breakfast with my recovering swollen eye...
All of us before the start of all the strenuous activities like trekking through the jungle, running and jumping around on the beach.

Some pics of my team taken for the treasure hunt game we played

There's a bar for us to hang out on the island where everyone got pissed drunk all the time as they were drinking beer like water the entire day.

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

 10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021.  The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too.  Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake.  2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3....
