Vacation @ Kuching Part 1- The Junk Restaurant

................................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
Thinking of shedding of a few more Kgs...woo hoo... diet time...lolz....nah joking...

................................................................................................................................................................................

Well after giving it a good thought I am going to split this post into a few parts. So that it won't get too long and bore all you dear readers out there to sleep. haha. I assume it will be neater this way too.

well the first night of my so called vacation was bringing both Brendan and Hans to this cheeky little restaurant downtown. The name " The Junk Restaurant" as mentioned in the name, the restaurant is really full of junks. But wait...it is not just any kind of junks, these junks are valuable junks because the owner of this restaurant loves to collect antiques and use it as decorations for the restaurant.

Once inside the restaurant even with all the antiques inside it...there is no eerie feeling. But there is this romantic atmosphere as the restaurant's lighting is dim. Very dim for me, cause I can hardly read the menu. And when I worked there, I hardly know what I was scribbling onto my order chit, cause I can't see what I was writing.

Antique Piano or organ?...anyway it doesn't work

Well I am drifting off topic. So back to topic. I decided to settle down for Asparagus prawn and also the Aglio olio prawn pasta. Yes I know, I know why is it all prawns... Well someone likes to eat prawn and I am also a prawn lover...LOL

Aglio Olio Prawn Pasta

Brendan settled for the Lamb Shank and Hans settled for the Terriyaki Chicken.

When the food came, we started to dig in. The Asparagus prawn was good, but sadly the asparagus was a tad too old so it was hard to chew it. After that came the Aglio Olio Prawn Pasta. It was good, but a bit too dry. But It was still alright for me. The bright side was that the prawns were very fresh.

The terriyaki chicken was good...but the meat was burnt so it has this bitter taste to it. Hans loved the mash potatos though. I loved the Saute vegetables.

Burnt Terriyaki Chicken

Last but not least was the Lamb Shank. The lamb shank was good. The meat was tender and juicy. The sauce was superb.So I guess the lamb shank was the best dish for the night.

The best dish of the night...Lamb Shank

The drinks that night was good.No complaints for it.

So here are the overall ratings for the food that night.

Asparagus Prawn: 7.5/10
Aglio Olio Prawn Pasta: 8.5/10
Terriyaki Chicken: 6/10
Lamb Shank: 9.5/10


overall ratings for the restaurant: 8/10

The total cost for that night was RM 134.00

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ivy a very good friend of mine who works at Junk for giving me special treatment that night.

To someone special, being with you was the happiest moment in my life.

Stay tune for part 2 guys!!

Cheers!!

Decisions Decisions....

...............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
How time flies...it is already the middle of January 2008, Jade will be leaving for Adelaide soon as her new semester will be starting off soon.With another blink of an eye, it will be Chinese New Year and soon I will be back to Uni starting my new semester. I will work even harder this semester,I will try to obtain some Distinctions or credits for my result slip... Hopefully I can achieve that.

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Sometimes life can be very tough when you are torn in between two things which you want so much but you can only have one. So you have to make a decision.

Well in my case I am trying to decide whether should I get a new mobile phone. Ok fine... I shall be more specific here... I was contemplating whether should I get the Sony Erisson W910i or should I get a decent camera for myself. It is such a hard decision to make. Some would just tell me get a good camera phone. Some would tell me get the camera. But still I am struggling to make a decision on which I should get.

Because of my vainness a camera would be good for me, how could I miss a chance to take photos of my adorable innocent looking face which everyone loves to see. =P Besides, I truly enjoy taking photos.

Photobucket

Photobucket
Don't ask why is it all black... black colour just appeals to me LOL.

On the other hand, the reason why I wanted to get the Sony Erisson W910i is because I always wanted a phone which I can make calls and at the same time I can use it to enjoy music. The Sony Erisson W910i's design is cheek, sleek and sexy, which actually is something that I am looking for. No offence, I love and treasure my current phone, which is also a Sony Ericsson, the Z530i. This phone is special to me because it was a gift from my sister after my graduation from Diploma. The phone is still working pretty well, just some minor glitches here and there.Example, the bluetooth can't work and also the connection for the handsfree can't be used. I might, well send it in for repair so that I can use the bluetooth and handsfree.

As for the camera, I am thinking of either a Canon, Nikon, Sony or an Olympus. I don't know whether should I get a brand new camera or should I just log on to ebay or lelong.com.my to search for a second-hand camera. To tell the truth, I always have this thing for second hand stuff, never quite trust it especially when it is from the internet. Imagine after buying the goods and in the end you realise that it is faulty and you can't get in touch with the seller, you would feel like banging your head on the wall. Well nevertheless, we should always try new things, or we will never know is it good or not. Now am I correct here? haha

Photobucket

Photobucket
anybody wanna sponsor me?

Photobucket
initially what I wanted the get...but the price was too high for a poor dude like me...sighs

Should I get a new mobile phone or a new camera?
Well guys, I would really love to here your opinion here.Just leave your opinion in the comment section just below the post.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another issue,well totally different from the above post.

Yesterday, I invited "cute cute" Tee Heng to accompany me for lunch. Since I had to drop by at the Bus Station to collect a special parcel from a very special person. I decided to drive out for lunch and pick Tee Heng up.

After collecting the parcel, We went off for lunch at this new commercial lot just opposite the bus station called 3rd exchange. We decided to, well more like I decided to settle in for this place called Station One.

Photobucket

At first, the waitress was very efficient. Once seated the menu was distributed... fast... well that was because the shop was literally empty only a few tables were occupied.With half of it whom they had already finished their lunch.

To start off, I had a hard time deciding on what to eat. Tee Heng was just drinking only, for he had already taken his lunch. So it was one drink and one food. Tee Heng ordered first. He ordered the Teh C Peng Special (Milk Tea) and from here things started to get interesting.

Tee Heng: One Teh C Peng Special.
Waitress: (Blur look...) Huh?
Tee Heng: Teh C Peng Special...
Waitress: (Looks at Tee Heng)....Huh?
Tee Heng: (#@##!&&^&*)...Teh C Peng Special
Waitress: Oh...satu Teh C Peng special.

I was still looking at the menu and I started to make a few enquiries on what comes with some of the dishes. She started introducing me this and that...(=.="). After that she showed me photos of the dishes... which in my opinion is so unattractive...

I am serious, the colour of the photos was fading. It was like I don't even know whether the food colour was grey or black and white or whatever colour that is. It was printed with some crapped up printer... so effingly unattractive.

At last, after a long struggle I decided to make my order. Once again, the interesting conversation part on where Edwin is ordering.

Edwin : I'll have the fried mee with satay.
Waitress: (Blur look...) fried Yee Mee?
Edwin : No Fried mee with satay (coughs...)
Waitress: Huh?....
Edwin : Fried mee with satay...this one....
Waitress: (Looks at menu...) fried Yee Mee kah? (The funny part was I was pointing at the fried mee with satay...something is wrong with her eyes)
Edwin : (Loosing his cools)...fried mee with satay...fried mee with satay.
This one H999...keeps pointing.
Waitress: Oh...fried mee with satay?
Edwin : Yes...thank you.... (finally...you got it correct...sheesh..)

Waitress walks off slowly...to the kitchen to send the orders.

Thus, the food waiting process starts....

>>> Tee Heng's Teh C Peng special came first...
>>> Waits for food....
>>> Saw a dish passing by... not mine... sighs.....
>>> Finally it came...yeah food!

So finally my noodles came. Right in front of me. Then I just stared at the noodles sitting right in front of me awaiting me to put it in my mouth and chew and savour it. But instead of picking up my chopsticks and started digging in... the scene became like this...

>>> Edwin looks at the plate of noodles... looking awestruck
>>> Looks at Tee Heng...Tee Heng was looking at the noodles and looks up at Edwin awestruck too...

Photobucket

Photobucket
Tempting?? yummy~

Not by the presentation though, but the portion that they gave me was like so little! and that was suppose to be my lunch which will cost me RM4.50. Small portion of fried noodles and two sticks of chicken satay. That is it... nothing more. It took me less than 5 minutes to finish the whole plate of noodles and also the satay...

Photobucket

To be fair... the noodles tasted ok... but the portion was terrible. Will I go back there? Well... maybe once in a blooming moon.

Watch out for my next post... My 3 days vacation in Kuching City!
Cheers!

Sinful Sinful Donuts!

..............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
I am still sick...coughing like hell...can't even talk properly...bleh.....

..............................................................................................................................................................................

I love donuts! I tell you I just love them! but not those normal Taka or Mita type of donuts. I love those donuts sold at Dunkin Donuts. I still remember the day when I was at KL and I took my first Dunkin donut bite and I was in heaven. I totally fell in love with them! Sadly we don't have Dunkin Donuts in Kuching. Sighs.....

But these days there are a lot more donuts shop coming up. Donuts shop like J.Co & Coffee and also Big Apple donuts & Coffee. I heard some of them like J.Co is even better than Dunkin... well.... they are not in Kuching anyway so I can't try them out. Sad sad.

But... on one fateful day, Kelly Che Che went to KL and she bought me donuts! Yes! from Dunkin and also J.CO! Che you're the best!!! Love you so so much!! Muacks!! haha Now I can get a taste and compare both of them! Well... after helping myself to those sinful sinful doughnuts... I came to a conclusion that indeed J.Co doughnuts are a tad better than Dunkin. But I was very happy cause I get to saviour on donuts.... oh and how sinful they are.

Photobucket

Now I am waiting for the opening of BigApple Donuts & Coffee in Kuching. Hopefully they are as good what I read in the internet. They will be opening a branch at Spring... I am sooo happy. Donuts everyday for me!! haha

Photobucket

Oh ya and on another issue that I would like to share. My final examinations result are out. I was worried sick that I would fail my accounting paper again and was prepared for the worst and was going to change my course.

First thing I came home from work was to check my results. At first I saw my friend's ID number. But can't seem to find mine. I thought I was so dead this time cause even my name did not appear in the name list. In the end I found my name in the final year. LOL... really funny cause its like I have not even finished my second year but somehow they put me in the final year and final semester....really funny. But any-ways the highlight is that I PASSED ALL MY SUBJECTS!! YES!! ALL! I was so happy I started jumping up and down shouting, my mum thought I was loosing it. I ran down and kissed her and told her the good news.

I would like to thank...
God of course
Family
Angel (muacks....muacks... you're truly an angel... my angel~)
all my friends too
Vivi
Siaw Chee for asking me to study with them and helped me


Congratulations to
Vivien for passing all her subjects!

and also GAMBATEH to Tee Heng and Siaw Chee for their re-sit subject which they will be sitting for soon in Feb. You guys can do it!

不想回家的感觉。。。

Photobucket
很不想回家。。。

你们是否有每有这一种感觉。。。很不想。。。很不想回家的感觉?

我,最近总有这样的感觉。很奇怪吧?为什么,我有一个家,我不想回。 其实,答案,非常的简单。那就是我一回到家就觉得很累,因为,我没有自己的空间,我好像被绑着,关在一个笼子里。想做什么都不能。我真的真的很累。

为什么她那么爱控制人家的生活?为什么她就不能体谅我?每一天,回到家就听她唠唠叨叨,说个不停。。。烦死我了!她现在给我一种很不想回家的感觉。

尤其是今天, 我刚刚玩了三天回来。 本来想带她出去走走。。。但是一回到家看到那张不爽我的脸,就让我觉得很讨厌, 让我觉得不想回家。 

他常说我很自私,今天也不例外。她说,养孩子真没用。。。因为我很自私。 只知道去玩,害了她拜五的事侯去和回做工需要找人去载她。

事实上,我为什么要拿假期出去玩,是因为我已经很累,我真的真的很累。 我己有, 没有好好度假。只是做工及读书。 从去年年尾,我突然觉得很累。看着朋友们一个两个去度假, 我在这里一直在做工,读书 又在做工。我很累,为什么她就不懂,难道她觉得我是铁打出来的吗?说我因该减轻她负担。。。我还在念书,我所用的钱是我自己赚来,很少跟她要钱。除了在考书时期我没做工需要利用钱才跟她拿一点点。 拿了也很后悔,因为要听她唠叨。

有时候,她没事做,来跟我吵架。。。真的很无聊。。。脑海里整天只是钱钱,很想跟她讲干脆她嫁给钱算了,因为他那么的爱钱。

这家。。。已经不像是个家了。。。对我来说已经失去家庭温暖。。。令我不想回家。。。。

Boulevard Shopping Mall

..............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
Sigh...what a way to start of with a new year.... being sick... like really sick....cough, headache, flu and fever... all in one package.
..............................................................................................................................................................................

Kuching is definitely not a shopping haven. If you say shopping, the first few places that pop into one’s mind would be KL, Singapore or even Bangkok. Kuching would be no where in the map for shopping.

Basically, there are only roughly 8 shopping centres in Kuching alone. Believe me they are not Mid-valley mega mall or 1-Utama in KL or Vivo City in Singapore. Some of the shopping centres are really crappy which in my opinion needs a major face-lift. Currently for me I usually shop at Tun Jugah or Riverside Shopping complex and at times Sarawak Plaza. These are the 3 shopping centres that I rate as “shoppable” place. Meaning, I can get at least something decent from there.

As for electronic gadgets, I would go to Saberkas. Saberkas is something like the IT centre in Kuching. You can find a lot of good deals for electronic gadgets in there. You can call it the “Low Yat Plaza of Kuching” or “Funan IT Mall of Kuching”, whichever you like to call it.

Over the years, Kuchingites has been craving for new, trendier, hippie, stylish, and bigger malls. Thus, that is one of the major reasons why the people down here fly over to KL, or Singapore to shop. But these days, due to the exchange rate, most people opted for KL, since we share the same currency. This resulted in? Well, bigger market for KL and that is why in KL you can see major expansion of older malls, like 1-Utama and Sunway Pyramid. Not only that, new bigger malls like Bejaya Time Square and more recently, The Garden and Pavillion KL.

Over in Kota Kinabalu, or locally known as KK, they too are in a Mall building frenzy. Within this year, they have a few mega malls being built around the city. These are not just small malls, big ones, at least 200 over retail outlets inside. The biggest being 1-Borneo which is roughly the size of Mid-Valley Mega Mall in KL. The hyper mall has over 600 retail outlets. It makes me wonder though, with a population of roughly 400,000-500,000 people and a metropolitan area of 900,000(which I doubt is correct) can sustain so many of the mega malls currently being built there. In all seriousness, Kuching itself, not the metropolitan area; we already have well over 600,000 people. But, our shopping centres are like crap ass. We don’t have this mega mall building craze down here.

Even though, developers down here in Kuching are not into the mega mall building craze, we are not left out in building bigger and nicer malls. Well, I am not sure is it correct to state that we are not in a Mall or shopping centre building craze, but in these 2 years a few new malls are being constructed. One of them being the highlight of this post, but I will go on to that later.

We roughly have, 6 new malls coming up. 3 of those being big ones. Another few under proposal or planning.

The first to open amongst them would be Boulevard Lifestyle Shopping Mall. They proudly claimed themselves as being the biggest lifestyle mall in Sarawak. This in my very honest opinion would be a very wrong statement currently.

Photobucket

the crappy signboard

Before I move on, a brief introduction about Boulevard. Boulevard is own by a timber tycoon down here in Sarawak. They already have a Boulevard Mall in Miri which I heard is smaller than its sister mall down here in Kuching. I also heard that the Boulevard Kuching is much more “posh” than the one in Miri. As I quoted “I HEARD”, so any mistake or error in the above statement I made, I am sorry.

Photobucket
Sushi King is open in Boulevard now!

When Boulevard Kuching first open, the Mall was partially completed it was still dusty and a lot of the shops are still not open. Majority of the retail space has been taken up by Boulevard hypermarket and Departmental Store. The rest of the retail outlets would be Guardian, Kenny Roasters, Pizza Hut, KFC, Sushi King, Popular Bookstore, to name a few.

Photobucket
Sushi King!!


Photobucket
too many people... =.=

Photobucket

As they claimed they are the biggest, but if you walked inside the mall, you would feel like it is just like Riverside or Sarawak Plaza in the city centre. In all honesty, it took me, say 15 minutes to complete walking the whole mall and already I am feeling bored with it.

Photobucket
World of cartoons, second branch in Kuching

To me, the mall in a way disappointed me. Why the mall bores me is that most of the shop inside sells women’s apparel. Even the shop that sells shoes is for women. I mean I would rather hang out in Sarawak Plaza for I can get more guy stuff there. For Boulevard the only few shops that I can go would be Sushi King, Guardian, Pizza Hut, Converse, Popular, and the Gent’s section for the Boulevard departmental store which is not very appealing to me. Minus off the food outlets that I mentioned I can only visit 2-4 shops in the entire mall. Now that is real boring!

Photobucket

Photobucket
its either kids or ladies apparel....sighs

Photobucket
3rd Popular book store in Kuching

Photobucket
Part of the Mall

I would only go there, when I feel bored and really nothing better to do. But now, I am waiting for another mall to open in Kuching. That is the Spring. It is Kuching largest 2-storey mall. With 150 retail outlets, a gourmet supermarket, an excellent food court. the Spring Mall seems far more promising than Boulevard. I’ve passed there a few times and the interior of the Mall is way nicer than that of Boulevard. The shops they offer are far more attractive. They even have Kenny Rogers Roasters and Sushi King, Starbucks Coffee, Secret Recipe, Manhattan Fish Market and lots more. Another plus side, Spring is so much nearer to my house and thank god for that. *winks*

In another 3 more days and Spring would be officially open. I will cover Spring a bit later.

Back to work now.

Catscity 2007 Gathering… A night to remember.

..........................................................................................................................................................................
Shorttalk:

Another year over, A new year has come with a new resolution, new goals and a new beginning.

..........................................................................................................................................................................


In all my life, I guess I had pretty much enjoyed staying in Kuching, my hometown. It may be small or not as hot or as hyped up as those big cities, like KL or Singapore. But it is a city that has its own charm to it. Life down in Kuching is pretty much relaxed. But this is, of course slowly changing. I start to realise that life in Kuching is not as relaxed as before. As the population increases, lifestyle starts to change. As compared to before, Kuching’s lifestyle is a bit more hectic and vehicles on the road have increased dramatically, which caused frequent traffic congestion on the road during peak hours. Even though, some might argue that the traffic congestion down here in Kuching is peanuts as compared to traffic congestion in cities like KL and Bangkok, I would say that the congestion down here is no better. Sometimes, I get stuck in congestion for say 30 minutes to 45 minutes. If that us not bad enough, I don’t know what is.

Photobucket

~Fish & Chips~

Photobucket

Smoothies?


I love to update myself on the on-going developments which are happening in Kuching and discussed it with people. This when I stumbled upon this gay little forum and website which was specially designed for Kuching by a local resident here, catscity.com.my.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Serene sharing some good photos I guess (Top), Kim taking photo (bottom)

The website is easy to navigate and the forum is user friendly. I find myself very comfortable in this forum. One of the main reasons is that, everyone in this forum is friendly. Comments are feedbacks are helpful and courteous. Although, there are times when you do see, a really rude and annoying person in the forum, but this is a common thing in the world of internet. So overall, the website and forum is a great place to chat with people.

Taking attendance... small one not enough have to use big one LOL

I thought, the webmaster is a genius to create this website and not to mention that he had maintained the site real well. I have joined this forum for… well over a year now. This year the webmaster decided to organise another gathering for the “forumers” to meet up in person and get to know each other better… well maybe to see how we look like in person, LOL

Photobucket

Yes... the fish and chips is not bad

Photobucket


Actually, last year a gathering was organised but I did not make in the end. For this year, I made it a point that I must go.

Photobucket

Maozi (2nd right) seems fascinated with something in the phone

So on December 28th, I went for the gathering, and met up with them at Patio. I must admit that I enjoyed myself tremendously that night. The people were great, fun and easy going and made me feel very comfortable with chatting with them. We chatted and laughed a lot that night. Not forgetting a lot of camera flashing too… oh I tell you, my eyes were seeing stars that night… I think if I were drunk (Which I was not for no alcohol was served while we were at Patio) I would have sung “starry…starry night,” or worse yet… “Twinkle…twinkle… little star, How I wonder what you are… up above the sky so high….” Ok… I can’t imagine that anymore…. LOL

Photobucket

Photobucket

Yes, that night there were a lot of cameras flashing... as you can see maozi couldn't take the flashin any further.

It was around 10 plus when we had to disperse. But a few of use decided that the night is still young, so decided to continue at Senso Hilton. To all pf you out there be it people outside Kuching or who lives in Kuching and never been to Senso. I do recommend you all to visit there. I think Senso is just a great…great place to chill out. The ambience there is relaxed and calm.

Photobucket

Errr... for this photo... forget about wot I am trying to do...no idea...

It was 12.30am in the morning when we finally decided to disperse. Once again, we bid each other farewell and good night and left feeling great and happy.

Photobucket

Serene showing me something funny about Mocha's drink...LOL

As for me, I felt elated, for I had made some more friends and great people and had learnt a great deal about many things. I would conclude that the gathering was a big success and I look forward to another gathering for the up coming year.

Training + Working

..........................................................................................................................................................................

Short talk:

Bored to death in office.... help me!.... no entertainment!
..........................................................................................................................................................................


I have not been updating my blog for quite sometime already. Well it is not dead… I still do check my blog from time to time to see if anyone has left me any comments. Well, for all you dear readers out there. I apologise for not updating my blog for so long, the reason why for not updating is because, I have started doing my training in a company as an accountant.


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This is where I work

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Where I sat during each morning

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

After that got chased to this place during afternoons... sad huh... no proper place for me

The job has kept me relatively busy and yes bored too. But usually by the time when I am back at home, I just felt tired and didn’t have the mood to update my blog. Well, since I am again pretty free at work. I decided to open up Microsoft word and started to type this post to update my blog. Ha!


I guess all you guys out there, must be wondering how my life is. My life is basically still the same, but at the same time it is not at all the same. Within these few months so much has happened in my life and these “happenings” has caused me to re-think about my life and has forced me to change. I am not sure, but I always felt that in my entire life, I love to give people and care a lot for my friends and for the ones whom I love. I give them a 110% of my love and I will sacrifice a lot for them. But recently, things have happened and have caused me to rethink of what I am doing now. Is it worthy for myself? Sometimes I felt that I do not protect myself enough in life that I brought so much pain and suffering in my life.

Well, now I am currently thinking happy thoughts, no point brooding or go on thinking what will happen to me in the future. I could say that I am living for today.

Well, back to my main topic. As I had said earlier on, I have been doing well my industrial training in one of the firms in Kuching. I shall refrain from naming the company. Working here can be both relaxing and stressful, especially you have some funny bosses who ASKED YOU NOT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE WORKING BUT INSTEAD THEY DO IT THEMSELVES! (Phew~! That felt damn good). So much for setting good example huh! Oh… oh… I almost forgot I can’t use to internet too! But hey, they can use it to check and book Air Asia flight tickets… Aww… how nice… such good examples for me… so fair of them… (&%^* @*!)

Other than working stress, I am also facing parking fee stress. I tell you, being a trainee and the company you are working for is situated in the city area is just no fun at all. Basically all the parking in Kuching’s Central Business District (CBD) area needs money. Seasonal parking fee varies, some places charges you and amazingly RM96.50 per month for some other places it ranges from RM60-80. But on average seasonal parking fee is RM 70.00

If you opt not to purchase seasonal parking pass, you can always park at some of the car-park facilities which charges you RM5 per day, conditions are that you check in before 9a.m and check out before 4p.m. or 6 p.m. but for an accountant I had to be calculative (that is why most people hate us accountants…too calculative!) RM5 per day multiply by 5 days which gives me RM25 per week multiply by 4 weeks that would cost me a dear RM100 per month. One third of my pay will be gone to the parking! Considering the fact that if I purchase seasonal parking pass, say RM70 I can save RM 30 and do you guys have any idea that with RM30 I can eat how many bowls of Laksas and Kolo Mees! RM 30 can almost fill my whole car’s fuel tank too! Gosh! Expensive parking!

So right now, I am opting to purchase the seasonal parking pass. Saves a lot for me. Hiaks!

Other than working, at the office, every weekend, I am back at Junk restaurant to work too… but I must admit I have not been going frequently. Damn! Being a lazy puck these days… wanted to so much work hard but….but…sometimes I am just too tired to work. But this week I am going to make myself work extra, extra hard! Yeah!

Only hope that I won’t burnt out at the end of the day.

Well, I guess that is all for now, nothing much to say about. Trying to scavenge for work but failed… sighs… booooring…. (yawnz!)
