Turning Point 转折点

Just realized it has been 2 months since I last updated my blog :| I tend to blog a lot when I am down, so I can say that I have been quite happy hence the lack of updates :p. And I am here writing craps again because something is bothering me :(. Anyway, I had my first run with Yoke Yee over the weekend. We have been wanting to do this for a while. So when Shirley approached Yoke Yee for the Run for Peace run, we gladly joined in! It's definitely much better than I thought it would be (I imagined myself crawling on the road for the last few kilometers. Yes, I am exaggerating because it's just a less than 10km run :p). I think I did okay although I know it could be much better, more training sessions needed. After getting 2 goodies bag (thanks to the lovely aunty who so generously gave me extra) and the Run for Peace cert, I walked back to Yoke Yee's house to get my car and headed for breakfast. Got a so-called-caring-message from King crab while I was having break...

On the 3rd day of our Kuching trip ( 1st day  and 2nd day ) , we paid a visit to Sarawak Cultural Village. At 1st, I was hesitant to go as I find the ticket price a little bit steep - at RM 60 for adult; RM 30 for child (age 6 - 12). But I was there in the end due to kiasu-ness.  Breakfast - Sarawak Laksa. My favorite in Kuching! It's so delicious I had it again the next day in another kopitiam :p But still, I think Chong Choon's Sarawak Laksa is the best.  Kampung Budaya Sarawak  We started our tour with the Cultural Show Pitcher plants lantern - I like! Bamboo bridge. Too bad it's closed. Houses for you to visit in the village The Chinese Farm House Malay House Kuih Kapit making in the Malay house   Melanau Tall House The interior of the tall house Rumah Orang Ulu - Beautiful traditional motifs painted on the totem poles, making it one of my favorite houses in Sarawak Cultural Village. Sape (Guita...

I was feeling nervous and excited at the same time. What's ahead is unknown but at least I need to do my part for my country. 11:47am: Arrived at Plaza Rakyat station, on the bridge. I had the urge to cry looking at the crowd. We are here for the same purpose - we love our country, we are here to fight for a better future. Why can't our dear government understand this? Who wouldn't want to spend their weekend more comfortably? Instead of stuck in a crowd, sweating, shouting and under the hot sun? 12:22pm: Having a quick brunch at Petaling Street. Stuffed ourselves full to ensure we have enough energy to walk on. We were told someone passed away in Petaling Street. (It was confirmed later a guy passed away in the early morning due to heart issue, RIP). RM 4 for fried mee hoon & a piece of yong tau fu. Taste bland, I didn't even chew much. Just for the sake of feeling my stomach. 1pm: We walked from Jln Sultan towards Dataran Merdeka. The crowd were sho...
