Layered Cakes from Sarawak

My friend, Zilah, just came back from Kuching two weeks ago and  brought back a special and unic souvenir for all of us in the office – LAYERED CAKES. Yum! Yum! We know these cakes are expensive here in KL as they are very difficult to make and time consuming and people are selling the cakes as of selling their precious time. We got to know from my friend that the factory or we call it the manufacturer actually takes order from KL and do delivery via PosLaju to us directly.

What more? We all started to place order as they are really delicious and looking at the brochure, they do provide a very wide variety of choices. I selected the “Cheese Ice Cream”, “Lapis Coklat Cheese” and “Lapis Coklat Madu Belang”. I have tasted the “Lapis Rempah” and “Lapis Masam-Manis” brought back by my friend. My personal favourite – “Lapis Masam-Manis”… simply irresistable!

One day later, the cakes arrived in a box and ta-da! My cakes are ready to be served.

After surveying around, the cakes may easily cost more than RM20.00 each but I have got them much cheaper! Cost-saving when you deal with the manufacturer direct! Only RM17.00 each. (RM10.00 for the cake and RM7.00 for the delivery charges) Reasonable what?!

They also have a lot more choices like “Lapis India”, “Lapis Blueberry”, “Sutera Ungu”, “Lapis 3 Rasa”, “Lapis Alunan Ombak” and many more. The price may vary from each type of cakes but we find it cheaper to request for delivery direct from the manufacturer. The most outstanding for me are the “Lapis Cindai” (named after Siti Nurhaliza’s evergreen song) and “Lapis Puncak Kasih” (named after Ziana Zain’s famous song). We had good laughs in the office acting out the way of the singers’ singing styles, imagining if that would ever happen to someone after eating the cakes. Hahaha!

Not so SMART tunnel

I have been using the SMART Tunnel quite often and I always think that it is “not so smart” after all. Even paying RM2.00, you need to go through long jam and you have NO CHOICE but to bare with it because you’ve already go to the SMART lane. Well, what’s so smart about it when it is suppose to lead you to your destination without hassle but you still get stuck in the bad jam. It’s horrible!

Another tip : you do not have to use the SMART tunnel during weekends because there is no jam. But then, what’s the use of it eh?!

“Googling” My Own Name

I was surfing the Net and got bored suddenly… Got an idea to do a quick search of my own name “THUM WAI KHONG” using Yahoo and Google search engines. Well, I found a list of name at CinemaOnline where they list down the winners’ names in their list for their contest. But to my surprise, I found a link to :
 
 
I clicked on it and I found my name being listed together with Mr Liew Fook Sin’s. Remembered. This was the credit page which Mr Liew (my close unofficial supervisor at Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan [BTP] during my practical training) promised to put my name in it. I am so touched… I thought I would never have a chance to view this courseware outcome since I’ve left BTP before the end product finished. I really appreciate it and I felt so honoured having my name being listed in one of the couseware created by BTP, Ministry of Education of Malaysia.
 
Thank you, Mr Liew!

Our 3rd Anniversary

In a flash of lightning, we have been together for THREE (3) years… 3 precious and cherishable years. In this 3 years, I personally have learnt a lot from her. And I hope that she has learn something from me.
 
We have gone through a lot of different hardship, difficulties and also happiness. I believe both of us are very much looking forward to go through to another stage. I promised to do that within this year. Wait for the moment to come…
 
This year, we celebrated our love in Delicious @ Marc Residence. It was my second time dining here. I just wish to bring her here to try out the good food and enjoy the beautiful and relaxing environment. And good enough, she did.
 
Mein, I love you! Red heart

Nocturnal Animals Stamps

Just went to the post office to buy the first glow-in-the-dark stamp in Malaysia – the nocturnal animals. This set was out last 23 MARCH 08. I love the stamps and the miniature set the first time I looked at it in the newspaper.
 
This time they are introducing different kind of nocturnal animals. The most remembered one is the Kongkang. Another cute animal which is the Kera Hantu is featured on the miniature set. This piece costs RM5.00 only.
 
The others which I have bought are the normal stamps; featuring Tikus Ambang Bulan (30 sen), Teledu (30 sen), Kucing Tulap (50sen) and Keluang (RM1.00).
 
For those stamp lovers (old and new), quickly go and grab these items from the Philatelic Bureau in Dayabumi Complex – located right behind the main post office in KL (in the same building).
