Bye Auckland.. for now

The time has come. From this moment onwards this blog will be inactive for about two weeks and a bit due to the owner, me, will be in Malaysia catching up with my family.



So, my lovely friends and family, adios amigos for now. See you all in mid-April~

Take care.

Time out!

At the end of this month I will be making a trip to Kuching, where I came from, for about two weeks. Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak, East Malaysia and yup, in Borneo Island.



Haven't been back for nearly three years, I am looking forward to see my Whanau over there and catch up with all the gossips. And of course the food there. Gosh I'm drooling already thinking about it.


The infamous Kolo Mee (egg noodles, flash-boiled and then served with (classically) garlic, shallots, minced pork, white vinegar, pork oil or in some cases peanut oil and sliced bbq pork also known as "char siew"). Background is Rojak (fruit and vegetable salad dish topped with sweet rujak sauce which is made of palm sugar, tamarind, peanuts, and chilli)


Infamous Kuching Laksa (a spicy coconut prawn paste-based broth served with rice vermicelli, egg, prawn, chicken, deep fried tofu and occasionally clams)


Tomato Sauce Mee (noodles served with tomato sauce, vegetables, and meat). Crispy noodles version is also available too.


Fish Head Curry (semi-stewed fish head in thick curry with assorted vegetables) serve with rice.

Plus many many more delizioso local food that I haven't had for ages~

Hungry yet? I am.

As much as I am really looking forward for this trip, I will miss my hubby dearly as we never been parted from each other for this long...

Thank God for telecommunication that's all I can say

Shave '09

So the much awaited day finally arrived. Lots of people turned out at the bar (Richardson Tavern) and most of them kindly donated. Came 7.40pm and everything was all set to go. Hubby did the 'honourable' first shave..



RIGHT IN THE CENTRE OF ME HEAD!!



After that we had auctions for anyone who wanted to give it a go shaving me hair off. All the money received from the auction went in this box.



Surprisingly, and I mean really surprisingly, it went so well that we auctioned it all the way. One shave per auction.


Bev, Richies Bar Manager, gave it a go as well!


Talk about being in the 'lime light'


ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!! REALLY??!!



Half way thru, one lady even wanted to shave my pubic hair off!! Wahlau!! Honey that will cost you thousands of dollars!!!



It took a good 20 to 25 minutes to shave my whole head. Well I 'had' a full head of luscious black thick hair. But now... bye bye hair....



And so, that was then...



This is now...



Apart from a little cool up top, I feel good that I've done this, more so it's for charity than how I look. Nothing to be ashame of, at all!!

Come on people the line is still open for sponsor. So please, chop chop~

Click here to sponsor. Thanks kindly.

My progress..

Well so far the response of sponsoring me/donating towards Leukaemia & Blood Foundation is overwhelming.



Friends and family either donated online or kindly offer their hard earned cash to me. There are forms to be filled so that I can send details of the sponsors to the foundation.



To date, I fundraised over NZD800.00. I am really impress and thankful with all the help and kindness my colleagues and friends showed. I like to thank especially my hubby for all his support for me doing this.

Tomorrow is the big 'chop' day for my head full of hair. Wonder how will my head looks like without any single hair, a deserted land...



An egg? Maybe?
