Back to the Land Below the Wind

Once again I'm back to my beloved state of Sabah. It's really warm and humid over here and it took me 2 weeks to get used to the weather over here. I kept sweating and desperately wanted to stay in an air conditioned room. I want this summer holiday of mine to be a meaningful one, to be a constructive one, to be able to help others, to be able to have fun with others.

Hari Raya Open House and Malaysian Cultural Night 2009

I attended the Hari Raya open house organised by various Malaysian clubs and societies.
It was fun because I get to meet friends that I have not seen for a while, and most importantly the food was great! they served satay, rendang, chicken curry and all sorts of desserts in authentic Malaysian style!
Also, there was a Malaysian cultural night plus mooncake festival organised by Toroa and I attended that one as well, it was great too, I get to eat lots of mooncakes and kuih batik. Yum yum...

Mid-Autumn Festival in NZ 2009

Tonight, I was invited to Fung's flat to celebrate the annual mid-Autumn festival. I was excited to go because I know there'll be mooncakes to eat, but there were actually more food being served! We had Malaysian-style chicken curry, Bah Kut Teh!!!, canned tropical fruits and of course mooncakes.
I was quite surprised that many of my American friends do not know what durian is, nor they know anything about rambutan, mangosteen, lychee, longan and so on! hahaha, but we, the Malaysians educated our American friend, Peter with all these nice food that we have.
It was quite a good night, and we were actually reviewing each mooncakes that we ate, sort of like food critics... haha.

expensive mooncake!
