Recent Trip to Labuan

Recently I took a weekend trip to Labuan, visiting my grandma and relatives. Of course, to rest after a long and hactic working year. I haven't taken leaves for few months and now that my CEO has resigned, it's much easier to take leaves and I can plan my holidays better.

During my trip to Labuan, I saw a fruit that I haven't seen or eaten for more than 10 years! This fruit grows in jungle but I heard from my Aunt that nowadays people plant it in the orchard. We called the fruit Buah Talap. It has a very fragrant smells when it ripe and the fruits are aplenty and so sweet. I remember when I was young, we siblings would eat one whole fruit ourselves. This fruit has season too. So only certain time of the year we can find Buah Talap sells in the Pasar Tani. You can only get it from Pasar Tani.

So, I was so overjoy when I saw this fruit again in Pasar Tani, Labuan. What else, I bought 2. Unfortunately, they are not ripe yet. So I ended up brought it back with me to KL. 1 day later it was ready to eat.





Another place worth mentioning is the shop selling ABC. I can't remember the shop name but it's near the market and Utama Supermarket. The ABC there have variety of choices and hugh portion. Ingredients use are of big portion too. Not like what we get in KL..all ice and colouring...



The place is always full. Below is one of the ABCs I ordered. I went there twice.

Home Sweet Home

Finally I have some photos about my new place. It's not easy to complete the whole house but it was an exciting processes. If you asked me if I'll do it again? sure, after I rest a year. So all the basics are completed. The rest, is as and when I have the time and the financial capability. I like the divider the most. It's from Ikea but after arranged it that way, no one notice where it came from.



Then, is my small and cozy kitchen. It's not much but enough for me. I don't want it to be complicated because I don't like to clean up or tidy up.



My bathroom and study room. All from Ikea. I do recommended Ikea for those budget concious but want some kind of quality. Ikea's wood is better compares to the rubber wood we get from local furniture stores nowadays.
