When
I arrived at the office, there was black out there as well.
Soon
I found out that due to the explosion of one of the transformers in Penampang
and because the transformer is linked to others, there was no electricity
supply not only in KK, but also as far as Kota Belud, Sandakan, Kudat, etc.
I
had to phone some companies in KK and found out that most of them already had
the electricity supply back early morning.
But
the supply did not come back to the office until about 12.20p.m.
The
Chinese people in Mainland China have not ceased to amaze me with their ‘creations’
just to earn big bucks without putting consideration into the lives of people
and animals.
The
following was taken from today’s Chinese newspapers.
Can
you imagine Instant Noodles dog flavour from Beijing?
Yesterday
I saw the Chicken Pies available for sale at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf when
Eliz and I were ordering our food.
After
lunch and before I drove home, I went to CBT to takeaway one Chicken Pie.
I
do not mind to go back to CBT to get the pie again, which means I do not have
to drive all the way down to Promenade Hotel in the city to takeaway from the
bakery.
After
church, Elizabeth Chung drove her twin sister Jacelyn and I to the following
shop in Penampang for lunch.
According
to Eliz, this shop is famous for Stir Fried Noodles with Beef and Black Beans.
And that was what I ordered. But one minute after the waitress had taken our
order, she came back and told Eliz and I that we ordered was sold out.
I
ordered Tuaran Mee instead.
The
weather was quite humid and hot. I could not finish my food, which is a rare
thing.
Kenny
Lim led P&W and played the guitar. Beatrice Hiew was on the keyboard while
Terrence Lim was on the drums. The back-up singers were Elizabeth Chung and
Chua Pei Woei.
The
Facilitator was Elder Alice Thien. She announced that Rev. James Wong would be the priest-in-charge of our church as of 1st May 2012. And Rev. Lee Tak Vui further elaborated on that.
Had
lunch with Elizabeth Chung at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at DamaiPlaza.
We
enjoyed our lunch very much.
Look
at the size of the prawn. The pasta consisted of 3 big prawns and 4 scallops.
But there should be a little bit more spaghetti though, then it would be
perfect.
But
it ain’t cheap at all.
I
think I could only afford to have it only twice a year.
This
year I did not receive my personal income tax form.
A
few days ago, I photostated one of my colleagues’ form and tonight I started
filing in the draft copy.
Eventhough
I have not been disciplined enough to put all the documents pertaining to
income tax at one special place, I was glad I was able to find them.
I was
also glad that I could download the Income Tax Form from the website of the Inland
Revenue Department.
After
lunch, Eliz drove Monica and I to near Likas Sports Complex where the MSAM (Minggu
Saham Amanah Malaysia)
2012 is being held.
We
were glad we decided to car pool cos Eliz had to make two rounds before she
could find a parking bay.
We
had to register using our identity card and there were quite a lot of people
queuing up for registration.
After
registration, we were given a booklet to obtain chops from different companies
such as Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB), Amanah Mutual Berhad (AMB),
Maybank, Sime Darby, UMW, Perodua, etc.
The
place was jam packed with people and it was so noisy as well.
At
the Etiqa booth, Eliz was cornered by one of the staff into buying insurance.
After
some lengthy explanations and Eliz decided not to buy the insurance, the person’s
face turned sour and was reluctant to give Eliz the free gift ie. a small
plastic fan.
We
spent less than two hours in there and by the time we finished obtaining the company
chops from different companies, we were exhausted. We were given a recycle bag
and an umbrella. We didn't bother to key in answers into the pcs provided which would entitled us to maybe win lucky draws.
Eliz
drove me back to Thai Seng Supermarket and I called the baker to collect the
birthday cake so that I could celebrate with the Chang’s children – Angelina,
Amanda and Alexander.
After
church and after much deliberation of where to go for lunch, we ended up going
to Kopi Ping for lunch.
Jacelyn
Chung drove her twin sister Elizabeth, Monica Leong and I. She also fetched
Alice Hiew on the way.
Tom
Yam Noodles is a new item and therefore Jacelyn and I ordered that. Of course the one i had at the Thai Restaurant last night tasted much better and more authentic.
