Which girls in this age of such intense fashion consciousness who is not aware of what names like Prada, Coach, LV or Dior represent?!
Class and exclusivity, you say?
To me, they represent a dream because unfortunately I haven't quite learn the art (read : guts) of entering their shops like I can buy anything (without checking the price tags first) let alone fork out thousands of dollars for one of their item!
A few weekends ago I managed to coaxed hubby to try out a new place called the Red Canopy Cafe at Batu Bersurat.
At first hubby wanted to go for the "Melbourne Motor Show" but I guess February 2008 is a bit too long to wait. So now, he is wavering towards the "Australian International Motor Show" which will be held in Sydney on the 11 to 21 October 2007!
To celebrate mother in law's birthday, we had dinner at the new 11° Sports Cafe at the former SKBB building, now known as Plaza Sutera Biru in downtown Kuala Belait.
This place is located at the back of the building, completely hidden from the road and with no signages at the front, I wonder how they expect to get business.
Two of our old university friends made a trip to UK last year and of course paid a visit to Newcastle upon Tyne and amazingly, some of the hall of residences staffs from our time were still working there! Looking back at their pictures of the Haymarket, Chinatown and even the Tyne river brought back a lot of memories. It was strange to think that 10 years had actually passed since we were there as I still have some vivid memories of events and places, just as if they happened just a couple of years ago!
Ever since I married into hubby's family, I have been introduced into many types of food which I have never heard or tried before. So from now on, I am going to feature some of the unusual (for me) food which I think is special to the Brunei Chinese and/or Sarawak Chinese.
One of their family favorite is a particular large fish which they called the "Sultan Fish".
When I was younger, my girlfriends and I used to discuss about the kind of men which interest us. Some of us would focus on the personality, some on his wealth and there are some who were particular about race.
But personally, I see not much of a reason for anyone to have issues with interracial dating.
My father in law recently asked me which restaurant serves lobster dish (besides Excapade, that is) around Kuala Belait and Seria as he wanted to treat my mother in law for her birthday.
We knew that Buccaneer Restaurant has a dish so hubby and I (with the kids) dined out there to check it out.
Kwan is my favorite character in Amy Tan's Hundred Secret Senses and one of her memorable funny lines was when she declared that anyone from the State of Missouri must be full of misery.
Obviously she did not know that in the state of Missouri, there is a Branson city which is the self-proclaimed "Live Entertainment Capitol of the World" with their numerous theaters and music shows while being geographically surrounded by the natural beauty of the spectacular of Ozark mountains.
This was actually the first Indian restaurant which I wanted to check out in KK last week. But when Vee, my chauffeur cum dining mate refused to be adventurous, I decided to shelve the idea until I had another dining mate. That happened to be my youngest brother who had a choice of being either a baby sitter or my chauffeur, and the smart man chose the latter.
So it was off to Kohinoor for me, finally.
