2009

2009 came, YEAR of the OX after January 26. It seems everything is running smoothly, last 2 months was a hassle with all the DRAMAs going on. Thanks thou for visiting this website and do click on the advertisement... it will fund some money for this site.

Resolution, evolution... that is just a personal achievement. Last year was rather more on traveling. I had already been booked to visit Bangkok and Bali this year, both was rather not what I had personally planned... still tagging along with friends.

This upcoming 2009, I will have a personal car project running. This will squeeze my piggy bank to be the slimmest 2D version in records later.

Hope you all the same "Another smooth and prosperous year 2009!"

Confession of a Casio Watch Addict

Looking backwards to the watches I have owned, most of it are Casio's product. Is it because being Asian, we have accessed to one of the most digital watch manufacturer from Japan? Or am I just a casio-digital-watch-sucker?

I remembered my very first digital watch was similar to this model. This watch got lost during my high school days, no one admitted to have stolen it from me.

After the incident, did not purposely brought a watch myself. Then MaMa-tze brought me a watch in order to train me manage time better. The watch looks some what like this model, analog and digital.
This watch serve me well, until the analog stopped one fine day and were beyond repair. It was a mystery why it stopped. Came along my very first G-Shock G COOL, this is the only watch I fixed many times. Come to think it, most of the time it was broke after my brothers borrow it from me (unless I have selective-memory-lost).
During college days, a bunch of college mates brought me another Casio watch and this model has a vibration alarm. Been using this watch until now, only thing was the EL light has gone dead... but it never fails to vibrate till today.


Later I found myself looking for a serious watch with both digital and analog display. There were some nice G-Shocks but then it was HEAVY in weight and price too. Later I found myself on the cross road between these 2 watches:
1) Casio E-Databank (EBD-501)
*Pictures will be updated later this week

2) Timex Ironman Triathlon Dress Watch


Both were good watches, the Timex have a better steal too and a little heavy on the weight compare to Casio E-Databank (EDB-501). I choose Casio over Timex mainly because it looks younger, and I'm a Casio-犯賤-dude! A year later, Timex IronMan was featured in Stranger than Fiction!

However Richie.L (my casio dude) claims that I made the right choice. This Casio watch only made it to my blog, but not as famous as the Timex. Picture may not be available this time, but will post once I managed to resolved my PC issues.

G-Shocks came out with Lover Collection version of Couple-Watch, you can find out more at JayV's website in Hong Kong on the previous collections. 2008 Lover's Collection will be out from November onwards, design is almost like 2007 Collection but with more of a sleeker look.

The Casio LOV-08B-7DR

Will call my dude to find out the price first, but recently Casio watch prices went up since mid 2008. Wonder if I can still get some discounts?

Hi I am tze, I am a self-confess Casio Addict. I need a sponsor.

Drop Blog: OOP.... Out Of PC

It's been a week without a PC at home, and things are looking bad. I can't get instant information from the internet as it has been my way of life all the time. This sucks big time, but I still need to wait for maintenance to fix the phone line, parts to be replaced and stuffs.

The posting are done in the office at a personal time. Next month is going to be a hectic month at work and with no PC... there will be less to blog.

(*-*) finding things to do to ease the pain away... any suggestions? My reading materials are running low.

Food: Borneo 1945 Museum Kopitiam

When I was in Sabah last year, I stayed Borneo Backpackers lounge. What I like to wake up to every morning was the Kopitiam below. Post war design theme was used to design this unique shop, you can learn a little history things that had happen here in Sabah.


WWII History Timeline above the kitchen

Kopi Botol (Coffee in Bottle) retro packaging using recycle beer bottles

Most people came to have coffee, half boiled eggs and their original charcoal-toast bread with kaya & butter. This was captured when we settle down. You can see there is Chinese chess on the table for their customers to enjoy other than the food & coffee.


there are many old posting around the coffee shop

Here is the retro Menu on a piece of flat wood:

Did I mention their bread are grilled-toasted and the bread is a round loaf ? That is to complete the 40's atmosphere.

Special set

Yes, this place do serve one of the best coffee in Borneo town. Recommended to drop by when you are there. In the evening I saw them serving BBQ, maybe it was a special occasion.

Food: Izzi Restaurant

Izzi restaurant is a fine dining place where Italian and Asian cuisine can be found. I have been here 3 times and the food still taste good. Izzi run many promotions from time to time, check it out here.

Parking might be a hassle if you asked me, but if you are just around the Jalan Bukit Bintang area it is just a walking distance if you know where Pizza Hut is located.

Marinara Pizza


Deserts were not serve chill enough for my taste


65% Discount on all food

Well, the atmosphere there is quite nice, 2nd Floor has a bigger space to sit with friends and family. The service is not bad at all, they serve Beer despite their origin from Indonesia. Our last visit was rather discomfort as the air condition was out, no matter.. fans were available and it was a rainy season.

Updates: Promotions now run up to 75%

Got Zap Again

I had not purchase new speakers, mainly too busy but lately it was raining cats & dogs almost everyday. Each time it rain 2 times in the afternoon and evening. This time rain came with thunders and hit one of the edges on the roof off. With a loud crash noise, then all powers were cut off. Saw some pieces of the roof on the garden.

OUT goes the PC, Modem and Printer.

Next time it rained, please shower some hard-cash on my roof!

There will be less post after this until I get some replacement parts and also get my roof fixed.

Food: Homemade Spicy Ham Spaghetti with Fries

Why I like cooking? Well you will never know when u need your cooking skills, it is always good to improve my cooking skill. I was from a family of food makers, it is a shame if I really don’t know how to make a few dishes.

Last week I was experimenting in the kitchen after hiking session. I was thinking to make Pasta sauce on mashed potatoes but ended I brought the wrong potatoes. The potatoes then were sliced, mixed with Vinegar & Olive oil and to the oven for 20mins at 200 Degree Celsius.

Campbell Spicy Pasta sauce was cooked with slices of onion, garlic, tomatoes, ham and pork meat. Once cooked, toasted on the pan with spaghetti. There you had it, a 30mins meal.

Spicy Ham Spaghetti with Fries
My recipe:
Tomatoes (Chunk Slice)
Onion (Slice)
Garlic (Slice)
Ham (Chunk Slice)
Pork (Chunk Slice)


Homemade Fries
My recipe:
Potatoes (Chunk Slice)
Vinegar

I can’t rate my food here, but it taste just nice.
