Want a free soup or not

Last night I went for a dinner, alone. For those who know me, they might notice I like to eat “dry”. So I ordered some sort of rice with some meat. The waitress then asked me, “Want soup or not?“. I smile and say I don’t want, since it will be a waste. She repeated “It’s free. You want or not? Free also don’t want?“. I smile and say I don’t want again.

There are reason I don’t want soup when eating, unless it’s the last thing after I finish my meal.

Free soup is disgusting

At least for me. Look inside the soup, you’ll probably see some chicken head, liver and etc. I seriously don’t feel like eating those… Taste yet.

It’s a tease

I mean, sipping little by little, it’s not fun at all. Maybe they are right, I’m a water-bucket, once I drink, I need a lot of it. Sipping spoon by spoon is no fun at all.

It’s a dessert

For me, yes. Well, before a cold drink of course :)

Time for bed. Tomorrow need to pick up already lah~!!!

Heavenly holiday end soon

Everything is a mess here, especially on the legal document I thought I can finish here, it is now still on step 1 :( However, coming back here is a blessing. I have air-condition when I want, I have most TV channels I wanted to watch and eat whatever I want (err, price are getting high now). It’s like Outer Banks vacation rentals this time. Surely going to miss once I fly off this Sunday. Anyway, that however, give me a better impression about some service providers in Sibu.
Celcom service centre
First off, the Celcom service centre, way better than Ah D one. Ah D employees are like gangsters, look at me like I’m invisible.
Post Office Sibu
Questions:
Which one has a better postage services?
A, Pos Laju
B, Pos Express

Pos Laju is guarantee deliver tomorrow and Pos express has no guarantee. Don’t understand why, maybe they want to make “English” a lousier service?

Just send my document and waiting for the outcome. This has got to be the most legal thingy and running I’ve done just for one document from Putrajaya.

How I entertain myself in Sibu

Sibu Wisma Sanyan
Coming back to Sibu, I can’t help but to take a walk in Wisma Sanyan, it is something must-do everytime I came back. Because, Sing Kwok is full of smoke smell, Medan Mall takes only 5 minutes to finish the whole mall, Delta Mall also taking less then 5 minutes to finish the whole mall. The only mall that has more variety and can spend some times in it, is only Wisma Sanyan.
Sibu nice dinner
Seriously, eat is one thing we all must do, but to have a very nice dinner within a tight budget, Sibu it is. Crab, claypot, some meat, some vege, can’t cost you over RM100. Why not?

I really back loving Sibu, not only for the friends here, but also the environment :) It is a good choice to come back here instead. Due to my hectic activity last week, I got some fever, I guess. Time to get enough rest and back Medan again next 2 weeks. Gosh, I hate taking plane!

It’s not easy to marry a foreigner

My girlfriend and I planned to spend a good 2 weeks in Sibu, the main objective to be here is to get our marriage certificate, at least on “ready” stage. It turned out it wasn’t as easy as we thought.

My girlfriend has almost every document ready. Letter from the governmet stating she is still in single status, a permission letter from both parent and a family heritage document from the government as well. Thinking it were all ready to go.
Contract
We went to JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) the other day, took the number and waited for 3 hours. Since it is August in lunar calendar, many couple tend to register on the day (well, only 3 couple and it took 3 hours of our time you see).

The officer lady says “You must also get this document. Either at Indonesia or in Kuching”. So we thought it shouldn’t be that hard. Of course, we called the Kuching consulate to ask about the document we have to bring. First time she (the representative of Kuching Indonesia consulate) asked was “What is your both religion?”. Both of us holds a different religion, so she says it isn’t possible to make the document here.
Documents
Then again, we head to FooChow Association, they can’t help, and we went to Wong’s Association, they recommend us a person in Sibu lawyer firm, we went there, he insist we get all the document ready and go to Kuching, they will/should provide us the document. Happily we leave and thinking to get the document.

Correct! No document can be sign unless we get a marriage certificate from Indonesia before hand. Time to fly again! Dammit! All we need was this little document, or a letter. That’s why both brothers (Malaysia and Indonesia) just like to fool their nation instead of helping. Some more, now want to start war? Go ahead and start it idiot!

P/S: Research telling us, different religion can’t be registered in Indonesia as well. Sigh…

Where to go now

Sibu sky way
Back to Sibu, second day – Sunday. I never expect that Sunday could be that much of traffic in Sibu. There are reasons we came back Sibu this time, so I thought just to settle those legal thingy first before heading to have some fun, and it was Sunday, so… Fun first then :)
Sibu lattern
Since Saturday was mooncake festival, we stayed at home for a while and called Alex to have a drink, then Will came too. They brought me around Sibu and told me about the 7,000 lattern decoration somewhere at Sibu Gateway. So I thought I should bring my girlfriend to have a look as well. Since it is (I think) million ringgit decoration, why not? After that, I really don’t know where to go…
Ubuntu 9.04
It’s been few months I’m working on Ubuntu system, once I came back home, I saw the CD of 9.04 version were here :) Still don’t need any antivirus software yet, until, well, maybe one day that I need to work on something special :)

Seriously though, where can I bring a foreigner to have some eye opening thing/scene/view in Sibu? Anyone can give me a good list???
