OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
It's a fast trip this time. Within a few days, we manage to finish almost everything we plan to do here. But I still didn't get to go to the Emperor tomb and the museum. Unlike Su Ling, who bought a lot of unnecessary things, nothing on the shopping street seem to be attractive to me this time. Today is the 5th day in China and I'm already bored with the food! Almost every other day, we will be having supper such as those bbq or fried stuff. Today, we had those bbq oyster and prawns (for snack) before dinner.

Anyway, I had minor stomach discomfort just now, and I just went to the toilet ... well, I think I will start eating vegetable when I go back to KL. Su as usual start telling me about diet when we are back, but like the last trip here ... the diet somehow never seem to materialise when we are back. In fact, we became even more fat after that ...

Wanted Dead or Alive!

Sekinchan

Last weekend, I was invited to a fishing trip at Sekinchan area. It was disaster all the way from start till almost end of the trip! Almost everything jinx happen ... no case to keep the mantis prawn bait, no air pump to keep the bait alive, the tide too low - boat can't go out from the port, slow bite, no baitfishes, surrounded by trawler boat, very windy and rough sea, storm, changing to many fishing spot - yet no fish, anchor fall into the sea, fishing net almost stuck into the engine, friends thinking that they encounter a hearse boat (don't think it's a hearse boat, most likely it's the nine emperor god boat), rod drop into the sea, etc.

Disaster, right? Well, the good thing is I took the opportunity to sleep throughout the trip. I sleep through all that, and by the time I wake-up (fully awake), I was ready for some real fishing action. We found a tripletail spot, and we manage to pull up almost everything from that spot. My buddy's fishing instinct save this trip. We had a break at the last spot. If not, we will end up going back home with a bad trip.

The storm that night was rough but nothing compare to those that I saw in Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch.

From Muar to ...

Muar

During the previous Raya holiday, me and Ah Su drove off to Muar to buy some otak-otak. The small town (also PG's hometown) is famous for otak-otak, claim to be made from mackerel fish paste. Somehow I don't really believe it's made from mackerel ... afterall it's not easy to catch a mackerel these day. When I was eating the otak-otak that day in Muar, my mind could only imagine the otak-otak was made from some commercial fresh water fish such as catfish. Apart from otak-otak, we also had some pork satay at that street. We didn't eat much as we need to rush back to Malacca for dinner. Yeah, nice dinner awaiting us in Malacca. Back in Malacca, we had steamed cod fish, suckling pig, deep fried calamari, etc. In short, expensive dinner but I was a little to full to fully enjoy it.

The traffic Muar is fine but coming back to KL was quite a nightmare. The traffic was extremely heavy even when it was still second day of Raya. It was a back to back drive, and at times I was only driving at about not more than 80kmph. Then next day, some business associate treated us lunch at some chinese restaurant in Jaya 33. Su think the lunch this time is better than the one we had in Oriental the last time. But anyhow, I'm quite bored with these kind of chinese lunch and food. In fact, I told her that I was not keen to join them for lunch, but alas, I still need to socialise and do some biz networking. These day, I been label by Su as an anti-social guy. I think it's because I mix too much with Mr Don! Mr Don is not really a friendly dog. He don't mix with the neighbor's cats and dogs. Mr Don only mix with pretty girls (human) and sometimes with me (afterall, I'm the one who always bring him out for joyride in the city).

Okay, I will need to go back to work. Not exactly work, but more to compiling my holiday/business itinerary. I'm going off for a deep sea fishing this weekend, and next weekend, I will be off to ...

1) Going for afternoon dimsum and dinner at Sunday Chiu Chow King (三岛潮皇粤菜酒楼).
2) Going for my tangyuen desert.
