Hoi! That fish cannot be eaten lah!

In Mukah, the best place to find everything local is the tamu (market). Huai Bin and I went to the market across the street to hunt for umai after I managed to pry him away from the statue

Nope! Not umai! Next!

Look Ma, baby stingrays! So cute!

Poor Daddy Stingray! Dying a gruesome death at the hands of human being.

Baby sharks! So adorable!

Umai, umai, where art thou?

After making several phone calls to our walking food directory, the honourable Suituapui, we managed to find our way to this place called Nibong (opposite Dewan Suarah), claimed to serve the best umai in town.

Unfortunately, the place was deserted when we arrived. Apparently there was a party with lots and lots of alcohol involved the night before which lasted till 3am that morning, which explained the empty place.

Me: [thinking] Hmmm! If I jumped into this river and catch a fish to make my own umai…

Huai Bin dialed 911 when I climbed over the railing *sweat*

So we went back to the tamu and asked around. We walked to the other tamu next to the first one to continue our hunt for umai. Turning from a corner, we spotted this at the first stall

Umai Segar (fresh umai)

You can see the stall owner slicing the fish with skills.

Control handsome! Keep cool!

Being the typical kiasu that he is, Huai Bin tried to cut the fish like the guy but almost lost his most important finger (neh, the one used to show off when scolding other drivers on the road one)

There are 2 types of sambal that go with umai - sambal campur and sambal cecah (jeb)

We bought both and a packet of sago.

Sambal campur consists of thin slivers of raw fish, sliced onions, chilli, salt and calamansi juice.

It is usually accompanied by a bowl of toasted sago pearls

I do not fancy the sago so I ate the umai just like that

Umai Sambal Cecah (jeb) - dip a forkful of thinly sliced raw fish into the sauce and eat it. Spicy but at the same time delicious!

This true blue camwhore bitch will definitely post up videos of himself in almost all the situation above so I’m not gonna say much here.

True blue camwhore bitch doing his bimbo pose! *run fast fast*

They say, when opportunity knocks on the door, put down that dishes you are washing and open the damn door! So, I jumped at the chance to go to Mukah with Huai Bin when he asked (I’m THAT impulsive okay, shut up!). Being the typical kiasu that he is, he has covered most of the trip already so I’m not going to bore you with the details

Okay, back to sago worms. My main objectives in Mukah were LIVE SAGO WORMS and UMAI. In this post, Kampua Talk will bring you to a totally new food adventure. Instead of eating Kampua and crap like usual, let’s do something extraordinary.

We went to the tamu or market the next morning for our exotic food hunt. We stopped at the first stall we saw selling sago worms.

1 bungkus RM5.00 (It used to be cheaper more than a decade ago!)

Sago worms have a plump, yellowy-cream body with a soft-ridged texture and a hard-shelled head. On close examination, the body can be seen to be covered by fine hair. [Wikipedia]

The nice and friendly people at the market taught us the proper way to eat the sago worms alive. They even went to the extent of cleaning the worms for us before we ate.

Shoppers: What are these kids doing filming themselves eating worms? Big deal!

Don’t scream or call 911 when you see sago worms! I know a lot of girls do that.

You pick them up - the fattest, the slimiest, the juiciest, the better

You rip the head off

Then you eat it

Contrary to popular belief, it is as simple as ABC or 123 - PICK, RIP and EAT!

Stop staring at my you-know-what, the sago worm that I was eating got all excited right before I ripped off its head and hence the splash damage

Here’s the video of me eating live sago worms:
(PS - Nicole, this is for you )

Oh, the true blue camwhore bitch actually posted 3 videos of himself eating live sago worms. Go and check them out!

Someone more kiasu than me has blogged about this but yours truly being the one who sent these stuff to him, so the credit still goes to ME, MOI, SAYA, WA, WO, NGUI, AKU, KAMEK, WATASHI!!!

I brought 6 of these back to Kuching and then to Sibu so I’m telling you (you read this first on Kampua Talk) that these are the FIRST few to reach the shore of SARAWAK! Even though they said that the drinks are available in “all the 7-11s around“, I couldn’t find them in any 7-11 in Kuching.

I love Whatever because of its non-carbonated nature. I’m not a big fan of carbonated drinks anyway. Oh, they have a variety of Ice Lemon Tea, Apple Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Tea, Peach Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea. The one that I had was White Grape Tea. Nice!

On the other hand, Anything, which is carbonated, has a variety that ranges from Apple, Cola, Orange, Root Beer, Fizz Up and Cloudy Lemon. Alvin opened a can and encountered Orange!

Great concept! I love being surprised and not knowing what flavour you are going to get until you open the can doubles the excitement!

PS: I have 2 cans of Whatever and 2 cans of Anything left. Those in Sibu who want to have a taste, start bidding now LOL!

Not really. It’s SALE AND THE CITY!

Mega Sale is here again! 5th July - 1st September. For some reasons unknown, Mega Sale in Kuching is not as Mega as those in KL. Plus there are not much choices in Kuching. Sigh! Never mind Sibu.

There is an extraordinary type of spa located in the Pavillion, KL catering to the need for foot reflexology in a different way.

Ever heard of fish spa?

After walking all day long in the shopping complex (what? It’s Mega Sale what!), our feet got tired and we decided to feed the fishes at Kenko. The procedure was pretty easy: pay, wash, feed and leave.

The paying part is basically the usual cash transaction done at the front desk. We opted for the cheapest one which was RM38 for 30 minutes. Then you’ll be given a tag for scanning before being led to wash your feet at a designated area.

Scrub, baby, scrub!

After washing off dirt and smell of your feet, you’ll be led to the feeding area.

Legs up! One! Two! Three!

Legs down!

Fish started coming to your feet. I felt so ticklish that I had to pull out my legs every 10 seconds. After I got used to the geli-fying feeling, I just let the fish do their job at nibbling on the dead skin on my feet.

More fish came to feast on my feet!

It was P-A-R-T-A-Y at my feet!

Still geli-fied by the fishes’ nibbling.

By the way, the species of fish used is the Garra Rufa aka Doctor Fish. I guess they are being called that due to their use in skin disease treatment. The fish only consume the affected and dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow.

See the difference?

Just pulling your leg, you cannot actually see the difference except for the wrinkly skin due to soaking your feet too long in the water. But I could feel (with your fingers lah) the sole of my feet softer and smoother without the rough dead skin.

I would love to go for the fish spa again, given the chance

Fish spa anyone?

What does it mean? Anyone knows how to interpret dreams?

Anyway, if you are as old as Suituapui, you should be able to recognize that “Dream Lover” is also a  title for a song by Lobo. Yes, it is old school. I like oldies. The song was indirectly introduced to me by my dad when he plays it on his guitar. I got so used to it and eventually love the song.

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms

Cause I want
A girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I won’t have to dream alone

Dream lover where are you
With a love that’s oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel her near as I grow old

Someday I don’t know how
I hope she’ll hear my plea
Some way I don’t know how
She’ll bring her love to me

Dream lover until then
I go to sleep and dream again
That’s the only thing to do
Till all my lover’s dreams come true

Oh yes, I am listening to this song while typing this post. Go to YouTube and listen to the song if you want.

Anyway, Mr. Dream Lover appeared in my dream again last night and I woke up with this “Dream Lover” song playing in my head! My, what a romantic dream! *slaps self to reality*

Only until I was in the university then I realized that I have not done something out of my league. Therefore, during my first year, I joined the university English Language Debate Society as a debater though I know nuts on debate. When I said joined, I mean, registering my name. That’s about it. I chickened out whenever I was asked to go for a debate tournament. I have always wanted the experience of standing in front of people and presenting a point as if it is the fact of the century, with a straight face. I was too kiasi to do anything more than putting my name in.

It was also during the first year in university that I took up the courage to register myself for a National Public Speaking Competition.

I went all the way to KDU in Penang just to participate in this competition. And from there, one thing leads to another (not the way you are thinking) and I got my picture (my name and state of origin were also) published in The Star! I even saved the newpaper cutting to show off to my grandchildren Well, even though I didn’t make it even to the Semi Final round, the experience that I got from the competition was priceless and it was worth more than any money could buy!

That was the first crazy thing that I did. But the second one happened not long after that. I gathered my scattered guts and wrote a lengthy e-mail to The Star to show my pissed-off-ness to my university system. It was published under ‘Education’! On my birthday! That’s the best birthday present ever! (I think I have it somewhere in my old post)

The third crazy thing was crossing over to Thailand. Since my university is only 15 minutes drive from the Bukit Kayu Hitam Malaysia-Thailand border, why not?

Crazy thing #4: Watched Tiger Show (Sex Show) in Thailand. (But I got traumatized by it)

Crazy thing #5: Eating bugs in Thailand

Crazy thing #6: Going to Langkawi with a bunch of friends for a weekend getaway and got really drunk for the first time. Sorry to burst your bubble but nothing sexual happened :P Hello! Alcohol is cheaper than water in Langkawi hor, so shut up!

The morning of severe hangover! 

Crazy thing #7: Taking a graduation bear hostage

Crazy thing #8: Joined a basketball tournament in university. Was the team manager as well. I wore a Number 3

MISC was the name of my residential college. I picked Number 3 because my favourite player for the college’s male team also wore a Number 3 and he is my good friend.

Crazy thing #9: Bought a car

Nah, I’m kidding! Unless I marry a really rich guy.

Crazy thing #10: Groped Amber Chia’s butt!

You never know what happened behind the butt scene
