WindBell New Look

After much comteplating yesterday .. I've decided that I cant take it anymore and that I had to go somewhere to eat.... So there I was driving... wondering where am I supposed to go and eat when then i thought heck let's go home first freshen up and then go out again...

reached home... then texted Sheila.. asked if she wanna join me and she said YES...
so the both of us... as usual head off for some steamboat! It has been awhile since we were there due to the renovation of that place... Amazingly, when we reached there... it's half done and the place is soooooooooooooooooo much nicer....

Was informed by Kak Elsid that there are now 3 owners of that place... A Chinese, An Indian and also An Australian.... amazing combination.... not only with the Chinese steamboat restaurant.. they are now extending the place soon to be build a bar and grill and also pizza parlor.... that place going to be a blast indeed... I can just pictured Islands in Thailand which is similar to that!!!! Good thinking I wouls say...

The food have had an added menu to it as well.... some of the items on the buffet steamboat are new... woohOoo I am so delighted...

Boil baby boil!!!!! Boil for mummy!!!!! YUMMERS!!!!!

We just chucked in basically everything... meat, fish meat, fishballs, vegetables, squid, toufu, many others... then closed it for about 5 minutes or so.. then viola!!!!!

It is ready to be eaten!!!!!! Let's dig in!!!!

Sheila just sit there quietly while enjoying her meal... as so do I... haha it has been ages since the last we are here... and the place now is air conditioned and the food is good.... I dont mind coming here everyday...

This is what's on our table.... lots of dishes indeed.... i just took some rice and noodles just for the sake of trying it out... and they have fish now serves besides the chicken and some mixed vegetables with toufu and squid in it... and of coz the ever famous chinese tea!!!! CHILLED!

Then comes the desert!!!!! I has two small bowl of that lemon grass.... It's not too sweet and it is to my liking.... the lemon grass been sliced into thin stringy shapes... makes it more delicious...

The new place looks like this.. the interior is nothing much yet... but I am sure soon there will be many things hanging on the wall and also many decor coming in... soon that is...

Two out of 3 new owners that we met during our meal there.... Fritz and err I cant remember what the other guys name is... anyway Fritz an australian but married to sabahan and been here for such a long time already.... he explained to us about the expansion and how they would have the pizza parlor right outside that window u can see... and also bar and grill.. OMG i cant wait!!!

Behind us would be tourist from Japan... Now I am glad I can understand japanese cause its so funny listening to their comments... They are so impressed with the food there and that it is tasty. They were talking about the food most of the time and that they haven't been there for a long time as well... now the place after the renovation looked totally different and that they are glad to be back.

That's our meal / dinner... and off we go to 1Borneo to catch a movie.... more on that on the other blog...

cheers

Sunday Rendevous

Hello... Bonjour... Ni Hao... Konnichiwa... Hola... Ciao....

Today I am not driving to class... just simply hitch a drive from Lalitha.... she picked me up around 7.30am and today is the long hours day indeed since some of it is our last class to attend.

Knowing the fact that we might have not got time to actually go out and have a bite ... we decided to stop for breakfast at Restoran Hafizah... located near the State Mosque just across the road... Amazingly the food there is nice to eat.... Yummers!!!

Looking at our watches... we are late! haha... it's few minutes past 8am already and we are definitely sure (we as in mezanah, lalitha and I) the class started without us already!

A magnificient mosque to capture in photograph... One of the most visited mosque in Sabah be it by the locals or tourist. But be adviced.... tourist who wanted to enter the compound should dress properly. No shorts are allowed and for ladies - please do cover your head a little - a gesture of respect to the religion. One is not allowed to make noises in the compound and asked to not spit or do inappropriate things. As like other religious joint as well for examples Church or Temples, the rules are more or less the same... It's a place where one worship their beloved GOD. Therefore, utmost respect should be conveyed!

So as we expected the class was continuous and gosh its tiring.... but... on the way back home, since the weather has been dried and hot and not wet lately, a magnificent sunset can be seen eventho the hill and trees blocking the view... and mind you, I was in a moving vehicle while the picture taken.

Something about sunset melts my heart..... the firm yet gentleness in its glares.... the sweet yet bitter sting of its rays.... the strong yet tender view of it... just mellowed me down ..... sometimes when I stare at it ... everything becomes a little clearer what's my life is all about... yet, I tend to want to challenge it more.... which at times put me in troubles!

I still have few more years to enjoy the sunset here in Kota Kinabalu Sabah... a great view, great feelings.... I doubt I can get this in Kuala Lumpur...

Speechless, even in moving vehicle still there's marvelous views everywhere.... I was lucky I guess to be able to watch it most of the time.... I just love sunset... it's something I look forward to everywhere I go.... be it in the country or outside the country!!!

Different countries serves you different views of their sunset... I wonder why is that... yet it is the same sun, same sky, same air we breathe....

And the day ended as such.... so calm, so relaxing yet so warm!!!
