Crab Island 1 day trip

I was invited to Crab Island (as so called as Pulau Ketam) last Sunday by a friend who grown up there. 14 of us were gathering at Port Klang and then heading towards "crab island" by shuttle boat.

Crab island is famous of it's crab (this is for sure) and all the houses are built up on the muddy land. You can't get any cars on that place but only bicycle and motorcycle because the road was too narrow, it just won't fit in a car. However, you'll find many boats, sampan (canoe), speed boat, and ferry.

<---- We're on the ferry to the end of the village


We are lucky because the weather on Sunday was awesome. It was a great Sunny day without much sun shines and the most important is, it didn't rain at all as most of our activities has to be conducted in an outer space.

We had Pulau Ketam's most famous Nasi Lemak, Chicken rice, Shrimp cake and some Yao Cha Kuih before we proceed for "crah fishing". I won't called this activity as Crab catching because we're not "catching" the crab by net or bucket but, we make our own "fishing rod" to "fish" the crab. It was really a challenging task which requires tons of patient. At the end, i manage to "fish" two little one.


Crab "Fishing" .

The views along the island is awesome, you can still find buildings which are built on with very deep Chinese culture. Besides, the people in the island are nice as well. They're very friendly to us and even buy/make us food.

But there is one thing i do not like it for so much. Pulau Ketam is just like a trash can. Everyone can throw any rubbish on the ground, even pee and poo on the land. That's yucky, isn't it?
I have a joke with a friend (tong) who came along with me and we both agreed that: all the seafood we going to have later, they grown up by eating "sai" (poo). So, indirectly, we're consuming shit as well...
It sounds very gross, but in fact it's truth..

I'm glad that i have a chance to visit this small village and i hope in future, i got a chance to come back again.

Most Expensive meal i had in my life

It was the most expensive dinner i ever had in my life. At least it was for me for the past 23 years. Can you ever imagine a dinner which costs you about RM3900 was like?

I never had the thoughts in my mind for the past 23 years until last week - My nanny's grand-daughters'(they are twins) birthday. We had our "family dinner" (roughly 12 persons)at a Japanese Restaurant named Hajime in KL city center.

The foods and beverages were fabulous. Besides all the sashimis and miso-soups (normal Japanese food), we had something special for that night - Whale and Horse Sashimi. I'm ok with all the "fishes" sashimi but definitely not WHALE (it's mammal)and HORSE!! I don't even dare to put the whale and horse slides into my mouth but my nanny, who is about 70 years old this year, kept persuading me to have them.

"Jia, you have to be adventures. Try some new things, something you would never had before."

Then she put a slide of whale 'meat' in her mouth, chewing. And she said to me "believe me, it tastes like PORK!"

I was kinda helpless and told my nanny " I'm full. I would had "it" if i'm still with empty stomach."

"Come on..such a waste Jia. Perhaps next time you should come with your parents and try it."

I was smiling and replied "I'll if we have a chance to." Although i knew on the spot we would never walk in to this restaurant. It is a great and grand place which only rich people can afford. Those modest family, just like me, we never walk in to those restaurant, no even intend to find out where it is.

This was my 2nd time participated to my graduation, it's slightly different from my bachelor's one, but the moment of thoughts were pretty much the same.
First of all, I have to thank my parents who are supporting me always for my today's acheivement. Seondly, I would wanna thank my friends and classmates that help me a lot at my studies and study's life. I would be able to make it without any backups from you guys. Thirdly, I need to thank god which always appointed someone to be with me when I needed or in troubles. I won't be able to survive if you guys are not around. Finally, thanks to all of my friends who came to my graduation tonight. It means a lot to me.... I appreciate the friendship between us and I would never forget you guys... Muaks.....

The video which shown during the ceremony was really touched.It highlights your uni's life from the day you received your offer letter till you graduation ceremony. All the places you had been hang around at during your uni's life; the people and friends you met; and the time you struggled with your exams. Finally, all the hardworks had been valued, I'm ready to get out from school to serve my community!! I gonna miss curtin uni a lot, as well as my fellow mates and lecturers.

The ceremony was ended with a song "time to say goodbye" and fireworks. It's time to say good bye to uni... Such a hard feeling today...

wormy upsets me

I don't have much appetite for the past few days. Tummy was upset for long and finally i start to have some appetite on "fruits" today.

I made a special source for my bell fruit dip by adding sugar, soya source, black soya source and cut chili. Just before i dip my fruit with my special source, i saw there are tinny worm worming on my fruit. The sudden scene had put off my appetite and brought up my anger.

I feel so fussy and grumpy because i was suppose to enjoy my fruit but at the end, the worms had ruined my mood. It was so disgusting that the worms are worming on my fruit. My tummy upset again...
