Curtin Prom Night 2009

Yesterday was the Stars of Romance, Curtin University Sarawak Campus’s Prom Night 2009. Organized by the student council of the year 2009.

Orchestra?

There wasn’t much to talk about the programme actually, as this SNOOZING orchestra was performing from the beginning of the dinner till the late dinner.

It’s not us who almost fallen asleep but I guess, the performers were the one bearing the pain of loneliness on top of the stage.

This year’s programme run up was SUPERBLY dull, as I can remember the Emcee only came out thrice during the 2 hours dinner. (like K-Thks-Bai)

Lau Seng Salad Vege

Lau Sheng with our first dish. The CHEAP vegetable salad with salad dressing. Sweatsss.

Mushroom Soup

CHEAP pixxa hut-like mushroom soup..

Mashed potato

CHEAP KayAfCi-like mashed potato..

chicken roasted

Okay, this not bad la, COMPLIMENTARY roasted chicken.

MAT KOOL ICE-CREAM

COMPLIMENTARY branded ice-cream-in-a-cup (The Mat-Kool 25 ml Ice cream)

Hey, organizing chairperson, we’re paying Rm50 and we are expecting something better but not this kind of CHEAP food.

And mine you, your guest performers almost SNOOZED off.

 Compare it with last year’s PROM NIGHT. Click here

I received a forwarded e-mail today.

One thing that really shocked me is the picture attached in the mail.

big-snake-at-curtin

A big phyton found near Curtin during the recent bush fire was the title of the mail..

If this is real, it would be one heck of a giant phyton that could even swallow an elephant..

New Seoul Korean Restaurant in Miri

August 31st, 2009 kelvinsse No comments

For the courtesy of my Muslim readers, I’ve added a category for non-halal food post.

**This is a non-halal food post.

Vee & I went to New Seoul Korean Restaurant at Jalan Brighton ( somewhere near the Parkcity Hotel/opposite the Chung Hua Middle School,Miri).

crushed-orange

Vee ordered the Crushed Orange Juice – Rm 4.50

passion-fruit

My Passion Fruit Juice – Rm4.50

It tastes just ordinary, like the passion fruit syrup. I dislike.

korean-pork-layer-bbq

Pork Layer Set with BBQ sauce – Rm26.00

The taste was okay but I thought it was a little too expensive as this serving came with 2 slices of thin pork layers..

side-dishes

The Pork Layer Set includes these side dishes; kimchi, pickled cucumbers, pumpkin, anchovies, slices of onions, black beans.

We thought this set could not filled our soaring stomach so we ordered a bowl of Bulgogi.

Apparently, the Bulgogi that look large on the picture in the menu appeared so much smaller and less in quantity.

The damage to the wallet was Rm67.10 with 10% service charges.

It was quite expensive for that amount of food, duh..

Prawn Fishing

Prawn Fishing

I was sightseeing with my brothers tonight when we spotted an attractive signboard of a restaurant adjacent to the Lanang Bridge, Sibu. We drove in for a sneakpeak and noticed a group of people was gathering at the side of the restaurant. Then a banner caught my attention. It says “Prawn Fishing Rm10/hour.” We decided to approach the group of people and see their catch. As soon as we settled, a prawn was wrestled and brought out of the pond. The night got more exciting as more prawns were fished out. I thought my brothers wanted to experience prawn fishing so I rented a fishing rod for them.
Fresh water prawnSuprisingly, few minutes after we dropped our first bait, a prawn pull and we got our first prawn! Then the waiting for the second prawn didn’t took long too.  The second prawn was the largest catch we had tonight. We did missed too hook up a few times but we managed to got 3 prawns tonight. Well, Rm10 for 3 prawns. Not bad at all.. :)
