Memoirs of the 27th: January 2008

Sempurna

This song will be continuously played in my head as of 30/01/09

"I would still like to wish everyone, a Happy New Year to all of you. May Allah will always blessed us with the happiness that we all wish for every single day. May our hopes will not ever diminish by our everyday problems. May our faith in each other grow stronger each day even if things pushes us to let go of each other. May all our dreams come true even if our everyday struggle with life keeps us away from our dreams. Amin.."

Come on everyone "REACH OUT, TOUCH A HEART"

Definition of Autism:

Autism is a brain development disorder that impairs social interaction and communication, and causes restricted and repetitive behavior, all starting before a child is three years old.

Autism affects many parts of the brain; how this occurs is poorly understood. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. Early intervention may help children gain self-care and social skills, although few of these interventions are supported by scientific studies. There is no cure. With severe autism, independent living is unlikely; with milder autism, there are some success stories for adults,and an autistic culture has developed, with some seeking a cure and others believing that autism is a condition rather than a disorder.

Bread Addiction

0 comments Monday, January 21, 2008

Universal Cafe, a local establishment located in Seria Town, has been around for more than 50years. Run by two Hainanese brothers, with their elderly mother in the background, the cafe, is unique in its own ways. They only serve drinks such as Teh C, Teh O, you know, the works and bread delicacies. Yup, no kway teow, kolo mee, or other pan fried items. Except for the egg lah hehe While sitting drinking and enjoying your meal, you'll notice the furniture is old kopitiam style, the cooking methods used are truly classic! I used to come here every Friday and Sunday morning before my grandfather would send me and my brother back to KB after spending the nite in Sungai Liang. We would be really early in the morning around 7am. I have always loved the food here and last week, I found out that I still do. I haven't been to the cafe for around 10 -15years I think. Its amazing how everything in the cafe still looks the same. What is also special that the food still tastes the same too. I truly recommend this to everyone as a must visit place when you're in Seria town. Though be aware that this shop closes pretty early at 5pm. Yup, 5pm! but they open really early in the morning so its an ideal place for you to have your breakfast. Its a favourite among the locals, both the young and old.

Teh C!! I spilled some of it hehe

Toast Bread with Butter with Sugar on the side. Yes you dip your toast onto the sugar!

My personal favourite.

French toast. You can have it with cheese in the inside too! This is one of the favourites among the patrons

Bread with Cold butter and Kaya on the inside. Yum! The taste is different from anywhere.

Aaahh... this is a must try. The egg sandwhich. It sounds ordinary but the bread, its so fluffy yet tasty. You'd want more of it.

The desert. The jelly ice-cream

The surroundings will just amaze you. I myself cannot believe that the shop still looks exactly the same just as it is, 10 years ago! From the furniture, the cupboards, the glassware, even the interior!

You see the controls for the fans?? That is also classic!!

One of the brothers making the drinks. You can actually see him scooped up boiling water from the stove. I dont know what to actually call it. You can also see that's where they toast the bread. Simply unique.

Yet again another entry about food haha well that was what I was up to New Year's eve. Yes! We had a barbeque. Frankly I think the whole of Brunei was barbequeing into the New Year. Believe it or not, Chicken Wings was NOT AVAILABLE everywhere. It was finito. Lady Buggable and 11 went to one shop to another in the Brunei Muara area and they couldnt get their hands on any. Good pieces of Lamb was also low. I was on my way already to bandar when they informed me to look for Chicken Wings and also for Prawns. Prawns and fish was nowhere in sight. Fresh ones I mean, the soon to be expired was still there of course haha Soon Lee Sungai Liang had none, Hua Ho Tutong also had none. They were all sold out on Chicken Wings. I bought Lamb Legs (BIG ONES!) for somewhat cheap to me. It was actually $10.90/kg (still i say cheap since it was big) on the price but Lady Buggable told me it was $8.++ on the price tag. I didnt really check and I bought nearly 2kg of it. I think he wrongly entered the price. We didn't get to eat the lamb legs til the next day as we were already full as there were other lambs barbequed first. Anyway we ate into the new year. I didnt eat much surprisingly. Durian was also on the table and it was yummy. 1am and we were just sitting there silent..munching bits by bits..it was dull..when we decided to go cruising again! haha yes, with the new VW EOS again..

Jerudong Park alive again

A shortcut through Jerudong Park ended up in me stuck in traffic. Jerudong Park had its own activities lined up on New Year's eve. The current Dazzling Lights "Wonders of the World" Festival had also brought back a huge number of visitors thus making Jerudong Park alive in December. I have yet to go and I am planning to go sometime this week. Countdown for the new year was also one of the activities Jerudong Park had to offer. Gosh..it was just like in the 1990's where cars would lined up bumper to bumper to look for parking spaces. Weekly activities esp during the weekend such as Magic Shows, Mini Concerts and Clowns have been one of the starters to the revival. I hope more to come soon. Kudos to the management of JP for organising such events to revive the park.
