Calling Rescue 999.....

So what are these Rescue 999 doing in my house and on my roof top?

Oooooops...it is because of this wasp nest that we only realised because it cannot be seen from our house but was seen by my BIL who is living next door.



We waited till our trip back from Miri then we went to the Rescue 999 centre to seek their help by showing them the photo that I had taken. They estimated the size and asked us to buy 5 tins of Red Ridsect because according to them the Red colour type is more effective in killing the wasps. With the Ridsect bought we waited for them to come and punctually they turned up to help us to eliminate the wasps' nest.





Only after that they found out that it is an empty nest for maybe the queen wasp has died

Nice design and pattern on the nest hor....
so now I am stuck with 5 tins of Ridsect or is it 3..... after giving 2 to the rescue 999 man. What a false alarm ....wasps wasps next time you already move house you either sms , or msn or ym or leave a msg on facebook lah!!

Green House Cafe @ Rubber Road Kuching

My friend found this new cafe and sms-ed me to go for lunch yesterday. Actually I saw this cafe a few times already with lots of cars parked outside the house next to ING insurance at Rubber Road, that is opposite Ting Pek King's Original Carwash. Being alone I never dared to go in and try, so when my friend asked me , without thinking I replied her sms - ON.

Nice air conditioned atmosphere inside and a lot of tables are reserved already meaning that business is good here.



We ordered quite a few dishes to try out even though there was only 3 of us.

Indian Rojak( RM 4) Nice but portion is small.


Penang Laksa ( RM 4.50). Very tasty and the fish used is very fresh with lots of onions, yummy.


Nasi Bryani with honeyed chicken ( RM 6.50) . The Indian smell in the rice is pretty strong. This is also the chef recommendation of the day.



Nasi Bryani with curry chicken ( RM 6.50)


Murtabak ( RM 4) Nice beefy taste.




They also have toast so it will be a good place to go for breakfast too.

Hong Kong 2 June 2010

Wake up early, check out from 'L' Hotel, to beat the traffic jam. For breakfast we are eating the famous Hong Kong Dim Sum.

Maize porridge:

har kaw with real fresh big prawn inside:

Char siaw pau



Carrot cake

Fried popiah:

After breakfast we have a full day schedule ahead of us...pitiful thing is it rains and the wind is very strong....

First stop: Golden Bauhinia Square

Next: Repulse Bay.

from Repulse Bay we can see Jackie Chan's house:


Repulse Bay is the home of Kong Kong rich and famous. There is free wireless connection right from the beach to the washrooms!










Next: Victoria Peak.We reached Victoria Peak after crossing the Cross Harbour Under Sea tunnel. We reached the top of the peak but too bad the rainy weather spoil everything because we only experience super strong wind and misty view at the peak.

We are supposed to see view like this:

But we saw this from the photo:


and this is what we actually see......




Next stop :Lunch


















After lunch we went to JC ( Jackie Chan) jewellery shop where we saw the world biggest amythyst geode with its weight of 1239kg!!






Next place:Hong Kong Ocean Park


We reached there quite late because of the extra time spent at JC jewellery. hence only have 3 hours or so for the whole park.We wanted to use cable car to go up the hill but unluckily because of the rain, the cable car service was suspended so we need to go up by the ocean express train.



Sea jelly spectacular:





Next stop: Dophins and sea lion show time:



Roller coaster that we can see only but cannot play due to weather and time constraint. 3 hours for the whole park is really really not enough!! You need at least half a day there to enjoy the whole park.








Ladies street @ Hong Kong:
After rushing through Ocean Park we landed at Ladies street. First thing we tried is the smelly Tauhu where the smell can be smelled( Like the duck's intestine smell) a few streets away but nevertheless we still try it





This guai-lin-guo costs me HK$50 (RM 25)

How to survive in Hong Kong?? Things are so so expensive there!!! The tour guide told us that the pensioner are receiving HK$1000 a month which is only enough for them to buy fruits to eat!!!If we are not following tour , we will be burning a big big hole in our pocket for food, accomodation and entrance fees to Disneyland and Ocean Park!!

Last thing we do in Hong Kong before leaving for Shenzhen-dinner









When we reached Shenzhen one more thing we do before we checked into Holiday Unn Express Hotel shenzhen - shopping at Dong Men street. Nothing to buy there in Dong Men street , moreover after hearing so much about the Mainland Chinese tend to change your money to fake money during the transaction of goods, we are quite wary so we tried not to shop too much unless necessary and also from reliable shops like 7 eleven and Watson
Cute doggie I saw at one of the shop at Dong Men street. It pose for me when I took the photo but when the flash light hits its eye, it started to bark fiercely at me!!!
