First and foremost, congratulation to Lee Chong Wei for bringing back a silver medal for Malaysia! You did us proud.
Fighting world’s number one, Lin Dan at his homeground - China and at the game - Olympics hosted first time by China is definitely not a walk in the park. Lin Dan definitely was in his best moment, too powerful for anyone to take him on last night. Lin Dan deserved his goal medal, he was super quick, reactive and he played with such great confidence boosted by the amazing home crowd. Lee Chong did his best and Malaysians are proud of him. I know I am. Noktah Hitam as well. Melbie too.
I was having dinner with Mar and Lola last night. She is leaving for Brunei next month and I have been in Kuching for nearly 2 months now and yet to meet up with them for dinner, the timing could not be more perfect that this, ehe! We had dinner at Fork and Knife, a small casual dining restaurant near Upwell Supermarket at Jalan Song. Lazy want to draw a map for you guys, but if you want to know the direction to the place let me know.
I forgot to bring my camera, so I just took few photos with my mobile phone. The food is quite nice and at affordable price. The serving portion according to Mar and Lola, not filling enough but I had ginger bread, mushroom soup, mixed fruit salad, orange juice and mixed grill so don’t ask me hehe.
Pork Fork & Knife contact numbers.
Nice place, love the lighting and mirrors on wall. Occasionally can check my hair head.
Not many customers around when we were there, still early perhaps?
Er, whose wedding??
Quiet place, perfect place for ‘whispering’ talks.
Make your selection
The staff recommended braised lamb shank, which none of us ordered lol!
Garlic bread - 4 pieces. One piece already in my mouth.
Mushroom soup - a bit too thick for my liking.
Mixed grill. I loved the grilled chicken and the sauce.
Grilled chicken chop - ordered by Mar’s Best Boy Friend.
Seafood carbonara linguine? I think haha! Cheesy Fettucini
4 persons ordered mixed grill, grilled chicken chop, beef bolognese, seafood carbonara linguine cheesy fettucini, mushroom soup, garlic breads, 2 plates of mixed fruit salad, hot mocha and 3 glasses of fruit juice and the damage done - RM 51.70 included tax. Cheap no?
Didn’t get to take Lola’s Beef Bolognese, she gobbled it down too fast. Er, actually I was busy eating when her food came. We were busy eating and talking and we are not suffering from severe blogging syndrome and do not have big toy like Clare, so not many photos to see haha! Anyway I managed to take one very important photo, the obligatory self camwhored pose.
Say my name!
ps: All the best in your future undertakings Mar! Earning Brunei dollar is good eh? I shall claim for my treat when it is due

I saw this man on a motorbike this morning on my way to work. I could not resist to snap a photo.
How you think he got the cute pink cartoon bag?
1. He bought it for himself. He loves pink, cute cartoon bag.
2. He borrowed it from his daughter or his niece or his neighbour’s daughter.
The conversation probably went like this:
Man: Sweetie, papa wants to borrow your cute little pink cartoon bag to work, can or not?
Daughter: Papa, you have your own bag. I want to use my cute little pink cartoon bag too.
Man: It is too cute, papa wants to use it for a day. Please?
Daughter: Then I use your bag? Ok then, but you must buy me Tin Tam.
Man: Thanks sweetie! You are so kind. Come papa give you a kiss. Muaks!
ps: Pink is the new black!

I was walking to the car park and suddenly I saw something in the air, flying towards my direction. I wanted to run, but my knee wobbled and I was grounded to the spot. I decided to crawl into my car nearby and observed the flying object from inside my car. The object flew closer, then slowly descended down and landed on the tree. It is yellow and red in colour, with a string attached to it. I took a photo of it before I got closer to inspect it.

It’s a kite! 
I went and took the kite with me back
I was flooded with sudden burst of childhood memories, looking at the kite. I used to make my own kite when I was a kid. The simplest kite I ever made was using just ’satay sticks’ (the satay snack you bought at the shop and the stick is from coconut tree leaves) and a piece of paper, which I ripped off from magazines. Here is how you make this ‘cheapo’ kite.
1. Prepare 2 satay sticks. The stick you are going to use for the horizontal piece has to be ‘balanced’. The way to test whether it is ‘balanced’, you make a mark at its center point, place the center point on your finger. If the stick drops to one side, shave a little piece from that end. Once you have shaved the piece off, test it again. Repeat this process until the horizontal stick is balanced. This is to ensure your kite will not fly side way because it is heavier on one side haha!
The vertical piece should be tested the same way except; this piece should be heavier at the bottom. Mark the end that dips toward the floor. If it is balanced, shave a piece off one side. Make sure you mark the end that is the heaviest. You will need to know this when you are assembling your kite.
Yes I know. I love MS Paint.
2. Then get a piece of paper, back then I used to paper from magazine or old school workbook haha! Paper from newpapers is too thin. Take the center page of a magazine so I could make a bigger kite. Then cut out a square shape, and insert the satay sticks. Then you fold the paper on both sides of the satay sticks, secured the string at correct locations and ta daa!! Off you go!
The both sides of the horizontal and vertical sticks should be folded up, to give better wind resistance. LOL!
Ehem, this simple cheapo kite can fly okay.. for real! Tried and tasted many times when I was around 7-8 years old, battling my ‘cheapo’ kite with other kids. After a while, I decided to make a better and proper kite using bamboo, coloured ‘mahjong’ or tissue paper - nicely designed and decorated and went to conquer the neighbourhood ‘battle of the kites’ with ‘glass’ strings! So much fun! Probably one day I should do a post how to make a kick-ass glass strings. Heh?
The games we played as kids back then normally involved running around under the sun (or rain), not sitting on a comfortable couch and only moving your fingers, chewing on Mister Potato chips. We went fishing at ponds, catching small fishes at drains, cycling from one ‘ghetto’ to another, playing marbles, sand balls fight at construction sites, shooting game, police and thief, rubber bands ’shooting’ competition, flipping cards and many more. We went from one neighborhood to another and if you are good, people from other places would come just to ‘challenge’ you. We battled it out there face to face, not sitting behind a computer screen and clicking mouse. LOL! Damn, time flies, waiting for no one heh?
So anyone want to go fly kite with me?
