Blessed Christmas 2011 and Happy New Year 2012

Before the year ends, I think it’s not too late for me to wish everyone, family, friends, relatives & colleagues a blessed Christmas 2011 and Happy New Year 2012.
This year, my family and I were so thankful and grateful to God that we were able to celebrate Christmas at our new little home. My daughter spent her Christmas holiday with us despite she has to prepare for her Exam next week. But to see her around and helping out with the chores made me glad. Unfortunately this year Christmas we were not able to have open house like we used to do as my father in law had just passed away, three weeks ago. Therefore, I did not prepare much for Christmas but just bought things, food & drinks moderately. However, we do welcome any friends or relatives who wish to visit us during Christmas day.
On Christmas day, my family went for the 8.00am morning service at Mater Dei Church, Lutong. After mass, we exchanged greetings with friends who happened to attend the same mass. We also took the opportunity to take few snap shots for remembrance on Christmas day. After that, we went for lunch together.
Here are some photos for sharing taken before and after mass.

Sushi treat at Escapade, Kuala Belait

Last week on the 6th Oct, right after office hours, my colleagues (Joshua, Yellow Bong, Pinky Bong, Ken Leong and I went to Kuala Belait for a sushi treat at Escapade. In fact we were suppose to bring Ken to Sungai Tujuh Immigration checkpoint to stamp his passport as his social visit was about to expire. The expiry date was on 8th October 2011. To be safe, we planned to go earlier in case he couldn’t get his passport stamped at the checkpoint, then he would have to leave Malaysia immediately and the nearest destination would be to Singapore. Who is Ken? Ken Leung is ABC (American born Chinese). His father is from Hong Kong and mom from Malaysia but his parent had been migrating to US more than 25 years ago. Ken is the nephew of our Managing Director, Datuk Tiong. He came to Malaysia about three months ago to visit his uncles and relatives in Sarawak. Ken’s mom is the sister of Datuk Tiong. And guess what, when we entered Brunei immigration, Ken Leong was given 90-days social visit to Brunei whereas the four of us (Joshua, the two Bongs’ and me) were given only one month social visit. So we teased Ken that we would dump him in the Sultanate so that he can spend all his money for 90 days. Cool huh….
We had great time at Escapade Sushi. We ordered more than 10 plates of sushi and one bowl of sashimi. The whole meal cost us B$65 inclusive of drink. After dinner, we went back straight to Miri with full stomach. Ken said he would come again for the sushi. He just love it.. I think because it was fresh and there were plenty of choice.
