Farewell ?? Eh no...its... Birthday

^^ I didn't expected it coming.
Thinking last nite dinner was the last gathering was a farewell dinner for me n Kenopi.

We had our dinner at Batu Lintang, seafood centre.
Guess what? We ordered crab! Yes crab. With huge claw. Fried with egg. Just the way I want it to be. Hiak.



The crab was satisfying enough. Hmmmpp a bit salty though.

Now now... the moment to reveal it all..... Ever wonder why my blog title is

Oocean ocean or Oocean Orh... Jien?


..........
.......
....
..
.























The meaning of Orh Jien in hokkien is Fried oyster. In Kuching, almoz anywhere that sells seafood have this dish. This is a muz order food if you come to Kuching. You will be given a small bowl of dark vinegar with pepper for dipping.

The meaning of Ocean is of coz. Just ocean. :P

The word "Oocean" if pronounce differently have different meaning.. hahah..





Oopss.. I hv side tracked a bit liaw...

After dinner. Next station was Senso, Hilton.
And so..... this is where I found out the real agenda.
Some one ..ho.... asked me 2 go inside Senso 1st and find seating area.
Finally after much waiting. Then that some 1 came in with a birthday cake.
Hmmmpp... Oren sure did plan it well. I didn't see it coming.
After all my birthday is still weeks away. Hiak.
It was a real surprise though. Thanks guys~

Ordering what kind of drinks sure is a headache. Hiak. A few of my friends never went to Senso before... Hiak.. hiak.. {naughty}


anything to recommend? I don't want to get tipsy*


Too bad our seating area was far away frm the stage.
Hmmpp.. next time should bring our own card to play hiak.
Den we all can.... participate and play.

The live band turn out very poor. We all miss the previous singer. We can barely hear the voice of the singer. Only echoes all the way. Hahaha.. the funny thing was. They didn't synchronize the birthday song with the birthday cake. I.... guess thats it.. Ban Senso? Hahaha...




The moment of truth came. Aww.. awww awww.... Feeling older.
Tiramisu cheese cake. Sob sobbb sobbbbb..... Thks guys....

And of coz. Our usual play was to get the birthday person to take out the candles from the cakes using mouth n no hand. >.<>



Pulling out the candles with my mouth only.



MUahahaha... feeling tipsy n double vision. Hiak.. Juz joking. :P


The ordeal didn't ended here... They got me.... something i least expected.

Thank you guys... Gonna miss ya all...

Ban Deep Fried Crab

Say NO to Deep Fried Crab !!
Big No No!
Just when you r craving for something to die for. Do not be tempted with the fancy name the cook come up with. Well I learned my lesson well.

oren : How much per kg?
cook: RM35
cook: How you wanna cook ur crab? Sweet n sour, ginger n chilli, fried egg, steam, salted duck egg...bla bla bla..
oocean + oren : {eye blink blink. Thinking salted duck egg} Nodding to each other. Salted duck egg!
cook: How many crab?
oocean + oren : {Thinking. 1 each or 1 kg} Ok. 1 kg then.


Then we made a phone call to our kaki" crab meat. We even drag BB out from her pajama to join us for the crab craving session. BB flew from home n reached in 10mins. As we promised the crab will be ready cook by the time she arrives. EEwwww..... kenak tipu


After the long waiting. 5mins. 10mins. 15mins. 20mins... Dying......


Almoz 9pm. No dinner served! Taz taz! 2 of us kept looking around to see whether our crab make it out of the kitchen? Still no sign...

Finally.........




Soon... WTF. Our crab is as hard as stone. As I savor the crab. I'm getting grumpier than ever.
I cant taste the crab at all. Although the crab looked tempting n is marinated with salted egg coating. Not being able to taste the actual texture of the crab is getting on my nerves.

Why? Crab meat are mean to be eaten when the flesh is juicy n not overcooked.
Curse the cook for coming up with the idea of Deep Fried Crab! Blame myself for not asking!
There goes my crab!

Lesson learned. Not to assume! Although it may be irritating n stupid to ask.Still. Getting an accurate answer from the source is crucial.

~Farewell Lunch~

Today. We had our farewell lunch for me with my colleagues at Kluang.

With my mind blank not knowing what to talk about. Thinking its gonna be a sombre occasion turn out otherwise.

With a group of 8 we seated and changed table twice. Which must have got the waiters jumping mad. Hahaha... Even the order went wrong. Too many ppl ordering this n that. They left out the one n only dish, my ayam masak merah". Anyway, I shared the rendang with Lucy. Which she enjoyed so much.

It was like a family dinner. We shared this and that n tasted others drink. I guesss... I must have got every1.. spiced up the whole aftn with the spicy rendang in their tummy.. Hiak... We even end up in Ta Kiong supermarket hunting for drinks. It was really fun afta all its a Friday lunch.

Dearest Lucy even wrote me sth nice which I'm gonna cherish n missed them all.

"...Today 8 of us went to Kluang Station, the Spring for lunch. It’s my
first time dining at Kluang though. Rendang beef and the drink called
‘Cham’ were the most popular items. And yes, I enjoyed the Rendang Beef
very much. It has enough spices ingredients and it’s spicy enough. Taste
so real and original. The portion is enough for 2 person and it’s worth
the price.
I guess most of us hadnt tasted many other dishes before, so we were
happy to share among ourselves. She gave him a spoonful, then she gave
another her a portion, then he gave her and another her bits pieces,
then he asked another him to taste, and another she asked around to
taste her dishes, etc etc, this kinda thing. Not bad. We’re all very
generous and love to share after all. Oh! Another she even shared, eh...
no. EXCHANGED her drink to another her! Oh wow. How clingy!
I suppose it was a great gathering to be together once in a while. After
all, Jaja will leave us soon. The atmosphere wasnt sombre at all as I
thought might be. It turned out to be great. Dodo still has her sore
throat. And she didnt manage to eat much. Poor her. Hope that cooling
lime drink soothed her throat.
We had a brief stop and shop at Ta Kiong. Main purpose was hunting for
mineral water but I guess, end up the Prune Juice was the most popular
item we bought. It’s off a few ringgits and I think it’s worth to buy.
Oh ya. I like our dresses today. Every girl in different patterns and
that’s unique. It was suppose to be a farewell lunch but I actually had
some ‘Soul, mind and brain destressing’ time off from our work Try not
to think much about the farewell. It's part of a life's things. Just
wish her all the best in life..."

In a moment like this.. I can feel tears running down my eyes... n my heart even sad.

Yeap. This is life. Steping into the future n not fogetting the pass. I'll owez remember u all and keep in touch when I'm back.
