Sahara

Bernard and I once again raided a new restaurant called "Sahara". It was recommended by Bernard's friends to try it out. The restaturant is located at Tabuan Laru new shop lots. It's nearby around the hawker stalls and supermarket vicinity. Sahara serves mostly western food.

Here is the main entrance of the restaurant. A camel is embossed on the front door. It's not associated with the "Camel" brand products though. :)
The restaurant is fully air conditioned and the lighting are not too bright. Setting the right ambience for a pleasant dinner.

This is the counter. A lot of wine glasses too.


They have a lot of wines in the wine rack. Mostly are empty bottles.


This is the front door looking from the inside.

Some of the customers that arrived earlier than us.


The food came after waiting for nearly 30 minutes. We're both famish.

I ordered the Cheezy Fried Rice with BBQ Pork Ribs for RM12.80. The cheese was put on top the fried rice. The BBQ pork ribs was just nice. You may find it funny if that they manage to serve you pork in the real Sahara. This menu will not appeal to the Arabs.

Bernard ordered the Cheezy Fried Rice with Chicken for RM12.80.

I think they might have put the Cheezy Fried Rice in the microwave because the plates was still hot.


We ordered the garlic bread as well for RM4.50. The taste are incredible. It's one of the the best garlic bread I've tasted.

Bernard ordered the fruit juice for RM4.50 and mine is 100 Plus for RM3.00.

The bill came to RM37.60. It was quite expensive in my opinion but it was worth to try out their foods. The only meat missing from the menu is camel meat.

My Hush Puppies


I'm not talking about my pet dog here but about shoes.

I have no choice but to go and look for a new shoes after my Renoma have started to develop holes under both soles. You cannot imagine how wet it is once it comes into contact with water. Well, we all have to accept that lives goes on and so are wear and tear.

It's been with me since 2003. Adios Renoma.

It's quite hard to find good shoes that can match my feet shape in Kuching. All the shoes nowadays have sharp pointy ends that you can use to kick a dog. Looks like shoes are becoming a trend for fashion and not for the comfort of our feet.

Some shoe stores in Kuching are Lea, Shop of Shoes, Bata, Bonia Uomo and Hush Puppies. I decided to opt for Hush Puppies since Tan Sri recommended it to me. The pricing is also very reasonable.

So, I went to Wisma Saberkas. The shop don't have a lot of varieties and new ones. I've tried their latest waterproof version. It has nice features such as ZeroG and waterproof but is cost RM350++.


In the end, I decided to go for the Vince II series that cost RM289.00. My only complains is that there weren't any 10% discounts for HSBC credit card holders according to the sales person. Well, I did make a compain to HSBC online and hopefully they will get back to me on this matter.

I've started to take my Hush Puppies for a walk today. Have to get use to the new shoes feeling.

Leave Balance Dilemma

I have a very serious problem in managing my leave. Some people have problem of exceeding their leave entitlement. But in my case, I have too many untaken leave balance.



My leave balance last year was 29 & my entitlement for 2007 was 21. The total is now 50 days. WOW!! If only I can spend the 50 days for a long vacation, that would be great.



Another choice I would like to have in my compay is ability to sell back my leave to the company.


Let's see.

RM80 per day x 50 days=RM4000!!!

Even if I sell my leave for 25 days. I still can get half of that amount!! KNN....

I can spend all that money for any overseas trip already.

As the Chinese people said, "Cho Bang" or "In Your Dreams". Hahaha...

Man's Anatomy and Shoe Size

While browsing to find information on shoe's width and sizes. I noticed the link below that is quite hilarious. From Darwin's theory and now I guess a homo sapiens has come out with such findings.

Someday, we will see a lot of women will ask for the guys shoe size indirectly.Hmmm...

Perhaps Ronald Mcdonald or any clowns have a better chance to attract woman. Hahaha...



It's up to you to be the judge.
