Tanjong Manis Part II

Q6.. that's the assigned name of the house I live in here in Tanjong Manis. Spacious, quite comfortable, wooden house.. very kampong style. I have little to complain.. other that the insects and critters that woke me from sleep every night, its good..

But when you have many people living under the same roof, spacious as it may be, you cant help but feel your privacy's been ripped away. And you have to put up with them.. Just throw a smile, and hope for the best..

One thing that I can't stand tho, is that they always crank up the a/c to the max.. add the fan on maximum, and viola, you have yourself an indoor winter.. I mean, it's windy here.. cool breeze.. to me, I'm just comfortable with the natural breeze.. to them, hey, its free.. why not use it? I happen to forget to bring my sweater.. Its gonna be a long, cold night..

But on a different note, this house rocks!!! I mean, literally.. It shakes and sways and when you're lying down, on the floor or in bed, you feel it.. I assure you its safe. How would I describe the feeling.. its as if someones rocking you to sleep. Which is very very soothing..

I just hope tap water is not an issue this time round.. I've been lucky so far, but there are times when you turn the tap open, nothing comes out.. well, two more nights.. fingers crossed!!

P.S. I Love You

OMG You guys are so gonna call me sappy or melodramatic from this particular post, but hey, I dont care.. I just finished watching 1 of my favorite movie, and currently listening to the soundtracks on youtube.. its P.S. I Love You.. Hands up if u also love this movie..

It is such a perfect love movie.. with a little bit of everything.. Corny lines, silly jokes, tear-jerking scenes.. haiz.. its just perfect.. If you haven't watch it, please do.. Its grand.. I promise..

The movie's about this american girl who fell in love and got married with an irish lad. Too bad, the irish guy died.. end of story.. kidding!!! hahaha.. thats just the beginning..

So this girl had a total breakdown about the loss of her husband.. he died of a brain tumor, btw. A few weeks later, the girl started to receive letters from her late husband.. *rambling starts here* You gotta watch it to understand it. Its not a scary movie or any sort.. *end of rambling*

so the letters contain plans that the late husband made for the girl.. How to move on with her life, go out, meet new people, take a vacation, find a job etc etc.. but that's one of the best parts about the movie.. I felt myself holding back tears as each letter was narrated..

And the soundtracks.. genius I tell ya.. each song was perfect for each scene.. nothing was out of place.. Also, partly becuz Hillary Swank was the main actress and Gerard Butler was her husband.. late husband.. whatever.. haha.. Couldn't have picked a better cast..

So anyways, go and watch it.. Here's a couple of soundtracks that I particularly love.


P.S. I Love You by Bette Midler


Love You Til The End by The Pogues

Tanjong Manis

Tanjong Manis, Mukah.. Yes, it is spelt with an 'o' ... If u come here, please, have little or no expectations at all. Otherwise, 'o' will be the answer to all statements that you hear..

This is the longest period I have to stay here, so far.. 1 whole week.. 4 days n 3 nights alone.. Days is fine - I'm at the office most of the time.. At night.. well, lets just say that when the cat is away, the mouse came out to play.. literally.. and play they did.. I couldnt sleep well for 3 nights fearful of the rat creeping in while I'm asleep and nibble my ears off..

But staying alone have its own advantages.. I get the whole rest house all to myself.. plenty of space to lie and sleep, and plenty of mattresses too.. Last night I stacked 3 mattresses and.. errr.. woke up the next morning with a slight back pain.. too much of good stuffs can be hazardous sometimes.. luckily it went away after a few hours..

And being alone, I seem to eat less.. And exercise more.. been jogging round the neighborhood since the first day I'm here.. doing push ups, sit ups, a little bit of self-taught yoga.. beats lying around doing nothing at all, yeah?

Well, tomorrow's my fifth day.. gonna b back in Kuching Saturday evening, and flying to KL early Sunday morning.. Not that I'm complaining tho.. haha

Mee Mamak

A couple of nights after the gate incident, me n two of my friends hung out at After 3. Before, this was one of our favourite spot to hang out, simply becuz it was the nearest and the only 1 directly on our way back from the gym. Reason we stopped going there was when it closed for renovation. didnt feel the same abput going there after.

Well, I have to say I was surprised. The service has been upped tremendously. Orders came in swiftly and without much waiting time. And, it was a lot served on a large plate. I mean, I've never seen mee mamak fill up a whole plate, and with volume.. If I weren't so hungry I wouldnt be able to finish it all by myself.

And I have to say it is 4.5 out of 5. Point 5 lost due to the fact that it tasted different from the original mee mamak. Something's just kinda off.. but it tasted yummy none the less..

We'll probably b hanging out there more soon. I hope I could get a pic as proof. I was so hungry I forgot.. haahaha
