Peculiar Personas

USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight is having its premiere show on 1st of June. If you had missed it, you can always visit USA Network's website to read back the episode details.

In Plain Sight is a crime drama starred by Mary McCormack (as Mary Shannon), a U.S. Marshal attached to the highly secretive Federal Witness Protection Program (WITSEC) and Fred Weller (as Marshall Mann), as her partner in the drama. Their job is to protect and manage relocated Federal Witnesses who come from all over the country. It is a dangerous job but Mary Shannon loves her job!

The closest character that I can relate to would be Mary Shannon because we both love our jobs, to be exact, I love my part-time job as blogger!

When I read this from the show overview:
"While Mary and Marshall spend a good portion of their time bantering and disagreeing about most things, they make a great team that always gets the job done."

I recalled the days when CCW and I back in university doing projects together in team with some other teammates. We always have different ideas. Sometimes, our other teammates were so shocked to find us disagreeing with each other and yet we are couples! Isn't it odd? Luckily, all these disagreement never spoil our relationship. Well, I think that's how Marshall and Mary's case in the drama except that they are not couples yet.

Personally, I think the stories happened between the 2 characters mentioned above should be very entertaining. Check it our from the USA Network's website.

Party for 5!

This is rare, but it happened once in a while.

After having party @ Winnie's house, CCW and I decided to throw a party during the Gawai holidays. A very simple party with healthy food. What can you expect from someone who rarely cook?

We decided to cook pasta bolognaise. OKK does not like bolognaise sauce, that is why you see there is not much sauce in his plate.

An apple a day, keep the doctor away.

As for drinks, we chose to serve them with yogurt drinks. :)

Healthy?

If these pants could talk!

"You wont believe it. Will you believe it if I tell you I am coming from an ordinary family but is treated like a queen since the day I am married to this person? There is nothing special in me but I know I am deeply loved by him. Love at the first sight does not happen to us. He chose me among many other rich, famous and gorgeous girls, he said he is comfortable when we are together. We are always together. He brings me along when he goes to work. He will be with me when he is at home. He takes good care of me. He is always alert and not to let anything dirty or harm me."

If my maternity pants can talk, I am sure that is how the life it is in now. In Kuching, there is not many shops that sell maternity wear, not to mention finding a maternity pants that is made of good material with reasonable price. That's why I take extra care for my maternity pants. I never throw them into washing machine, they are hand wash by myself.

How about your pants? I am sure you have interesting stories to share about them, submit the stories as videos to Dockers contest.

Who knows you might be the winner of the Dockers contest? Just give it a try!

Road Trip toTebakang

Everyone is away for holidays and I have to stay back to look after the house. Ya, cos we don't rear dog, so I have to take over the task. Hehehehee...

Luckily, there is still CCW. He always has a lot of ideas where to go, what to do, what to eat at anytime.

So, on Sunday, together with Winnie, Boi and OKK, we set out on a road trip to Tebakang for the famous BIG prawns.
Please note that the petrol price in Malaysia has increased from RM1.90 to RM2.70 per litre when the clock strikes 12midnight on the 5th of June, therefore when you planning on a road trip, you might need to take petrol expenses into consideration! *bleks*

Serian is one of the towns in between Kuching and Tebakang. There is a famous Ranchan Recreation Park. And, I haven't been to that place before. So, we made a stop there to take some photos.


Woo...look at the beautiful colourful drinks.


We were greeted by the water pouring sound upon arrival. Ranchan is famous of its waterfall.


We did not bring any clothes so all we can do is breathing the fresh air and strolling around. But since they are with a pregnant lady, they cannot move too far away as they had to consider for the pregnant lady safety as the floor is slippery and could cause the pregnant lady slips and falls.


We spent sometimes on the hanging bridge and then continued our journey to Tebakang.


With Boi, who is borned in Serian, as our guide, we drove around the Serian town. The mascot in Serian should be Durian, but we did not stop down to take photo of it. But we took photo of something else that is found in the town.


Time to go for our lunch. We drove up to Tebakang. I had been to this place when I followed my relatives to my cousin's place several years back. All I remembered is that there is only a row of shops and there is a river or big drain in front of the shops. And you know it, we were lost. Hehehee...CCW and OKK decided to asked the local for direction and they were laughed by the auntie as it was their FIRST time visiting Tebakang! Duh...

Anyway, we found that there is cotton tree at Tebakang. That is the river I told you earlier.


Get a closer look, the tree is smaller compare to the one at Padang Merdeka, but somehow it has more cotton. Hmm...


Here, we found the shop is famous of the tomato prawns.The name is "Zit Hin".


You think there is nothing special? Well, actually the prawns are big! How big? Each of the prawns weighs more than 200g. We ordered one for each and it costed us RM55 for this dish. That's how big it is.
1kg = RM47

The following photo is purposely put up to serve as a reminder to all. Please note that the price of rice is increased as well. Do not waste rice. ;p


p/s: According to my cousin, the big prawns are caught from the river or big drain. ;p

Have you heard of the latest contest sponsored by Dockers® - "Make Your Own Dockers® Commercial Contest"? Interested in making video? Here is an opportunity for you to show off your ability, Dockers contest requires you to create a 30-second video advertisement for Dockers. No, you do not have to get a pair of Dockers just to enter this contest. You only have to upload your video advertisement to Dockers contest. It is that simple. Public viewers can rate on the submission too. The grand prize winning submission will be aired once on June 13, 2008, during the broadcast of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

I watched most of the submissions and some of them are simple yet creative. My favourite video entitled: "Step Ahead With Dockers" by maxinelyle. You can view it here.

I think when it comes to clothing, comfortable is the most important factor that I would take into consideration. Both the material and design of the clothes must fit me. I will not buy any clothes that take control of my movement. Inside this video, I can see that the guy is really enjoying himself in his Dockers. I feel like to buy one for myself after watching it. And here, you can look through its collections from Dockers online store.
