Sarawak Dihatiku


The other day in the gym while waiting for zumba to start, I was talking to this new girl (Tiada tempat lain ka Cyn selain gym? Unfortunately gym is the only place I socialize). When she heard that I'm a Sarawakian, the first thing she said was 

 "I heard in Sarawak, Malay can eat in a Chinese shop without issues."

 Then the other day, my colleague, an Indian, was telling me her cousin went to Sibu and was surprised to see Malay eating in a Chinese shop without problem. Then she ask me 

 "Is it true?"

 Aahhhh..here comes my favourite part. 

 "Of course it is true!" and I go into lengthy explanation about how people in Sarawak respect each other, how people of different race and religion can sit in one table and eat without any issues because we all know what we can or can't eat and we respect that. 

 It's sadly very different here in peninsular where most people are sensitive and intolerant, have strong sense of entitlement and demanded that people respect them. 

 My friend showed me a print screen of a FB status of a girl the other day and it sounds something like this

 "Bulan puasa ni jangan biadap sangat post gambar makanan boleh kan?"

 I'm bewildered by some people who are offended whenever someone eat or drink in front of them during this fasting month. 

 Saya rasa majoriti kami yang tidak puasa ni pun segan kalau mau makan minum depan yang berpuasa sebab kami hormat kamu. 

 Yang tidak puas hati orang post gambar makanan tu, boleh pilih untuk tidak buka apa2 sosial media masa berpuasa kan?

 I was thinking about this "entitlement" attitude and I came across this well-written article by a Muslim itself, which sums up perfectly what I thought. 

 The other thing I'm proud about being a Sarawakian is how well we can adapt ourselves to our surrounding. We are multi-lingual. I can speak fluent Bahasa KL yang ai ai yu yu then I can switch to Bahasa Sabah yang buli ba kalau ko then onto Bahasa Sarawak nak berkamek kitak ya eh. 

 Well anyway, one more thing is whenever a guy ask me whether I'm Malay or Chinese or what not and I tell them I'm a Sarawakian, their immediate reply was

 "Ooo patutlah cantik :) "

 Choiiii. kembang bontot iols kena cakap begitu.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland

 Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland I told myself I'll not revisit Cameron Highlands since it became so crowded, busy, and overdeveloped in recent years. I might have changed my mind after I found this beautiful hidden gem. Honestly, it really is challenging to find a place that ticks all the boxes for an ideal introvert's getaway in a touristy place like Cameron Highlands. With lots of research, you can and for me, that place is Sunlight Suite . Going on a long weekend, I already mentally prepared myself for the infamous non-moving weekend traffic jam in Cameron Highlands.  "Going to Cameron on a long weekend?! You crazy ahh?!" my friend said.  But to my surprise, the traffic was pretty smooth. It also helps that I departed quite late from KL (3pm-ish) via Tapah route and reached Sunlight Suite around 7pm.  Little English Cottage In The Tropics Moonlight Bungalow Picture credit to https://www.sunlightsuite.com/moonlight-bungalow/   Sunlight...

Bertuah anak-anak zaman modern sekarang sebab umo 6 bulan lagi mak dorang dah kasi makan avocado. Iols pun baru belajar makan avocado ni 5 tahun lepas. Itu pun sebab minum jus avocado. Wakakaka. Hari tu ternampaklah ada sorang hakak ni post dalam group MAHN (Masak Apa Hari Ni). Ceritanya baru beli avocado tapi "macam mana nak makan eh benda ni?" Okay.

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway Yang Mendamaikan

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend. Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis.  Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary. Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such. Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan. And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax. Admittedly, the thing that cemented my decision was this review from a customer "So serene & you can hea...
