When he got fever...

Roy always take care of other people but never take good care of himself.

Down with diarrhea not long ago and then more than a week ago, when he got sick with fever and this time with shiver , what comes into my mind is MALARIA or DENGGUE!!   Of course lah, since he's been in and out of the kampung/camp in Kota Marudu, we'll just freak out when he got that rigor and fever sign.  Fever up to 40oC and even doctors also suspecting the same diagnosis.  

The attack came all of the sudden and had to go to a nearby private clinic to do a thorough medical check-up.  Later, he was referred to the local hospital to have blood test done.  So, immediately we jumped into our car and headed to Queen E's hospital.  By the time we arrived,  it was already about 10pm at night.  Amazing to see that we were actually not alone.   

"Hehe, first time going to A&E, especially at night maaa....!"   

There were a lot of people, waiting for their turn.  Thank goodness, Roy recovered after he was given a jab, so we just waited patiently just like any other patients who were already there.

The service was quite slow but amazingly, I had nothing to argue about, maybe because either the staff were used to this situation and no point of rushing around trying to finish the work or it's just the culture of Sabahan's being pelan-pelan aja bah!  Everyone was just relax and cool, including us.

Roy said, though it was slow, the MOs were very passionate and committed in their work.

Well, something to learn from a brief overnight stay at A&E ya?  :-)

Poor hubby!  What a heart-break to see this...:-(

But the most relieving thing is, it's just VIRAL infection.  Pheeewwwww!  And by the time we got home, it was already almost 0300 am in the morning.....!

 

Ai is Cinta....Ai is Love

So went to Gaya Street last Sunday, which was about more than a week ago.

We were strolling around with a friend, Ajeeve and his beloved wife, Suru when suddenly I saw this old man.  I've been a fan of chinese calligraphy and was totally amazed as this old man is an Indian and can write beautiful chinese characters.  He waved at me and then, asked me to come towards him.  He immediately took out an empty red-coloured piece of paper and started to write something with his brush.  He then, gave the piece of his art to Roy and told him, it's "LOVE".

Ai is Love!

Busy buying some local fruits from a local store at Gaya Street.

Catch 22

So went to see Alan with his new position as a manager at Catch 22,

a so-called globally inspired seafood restaurant located at Sadong Jaya in Kota Kinabalu.

We were glad to see him there serving his customers with such joyfulness and confidence.

All the best, Alan!

Beautiful design and concept....just like in a blue sea....:)

There are 40 over items on their menu and my goodness! Their soup-of-the-day is really gooooood!

From Mediterranean to Asian style, they serve really  fresh seafood including salmon belly (as shown on top left) to crab burgers (bottom left).....oh ya, if you want hush puppy, and you can get hush puppy here indeed (bottom right)....top right is somekind of a fish dip served with toasted bread....Nice!

Oh my, hubby is definitely enjoying his pannacota........with strawberry toppings.....Manager Alan Craig is on his right with his signature smile, telling us the food they have and what's best in the restaurant.....

yum!

Specially made for us!  Hot chocolate!  The best I had in KK!

A Month has Gone

Aiyyyooo, so much work to do!

At home......with lots of cooking, washing, mopping and other house chores!

In the office.....paperwork, meetings, emails, planning and in the process of beautifying my office which is also our research room!

When this was a month ago...in May....

....and this was just recently........

Down with fever two days ago and longing so much for Roy 

and damn it!  Really praying so hard that he'll eventually transferred from Kota Marudu  to KK! 

Please God, promptly unite both of us!  

So with all these, am definitely got no time to actually sit down, compile all the photos I took and upload to tell some memorable stories into pingsweetmemories, 

until this particular weekend when I can finally spend my own sweet times with hubby in his office.

Yes, only both of us together.......for a while....and uploaded some of the beautiful memories we had with beautiful people for the past one month....gosh, how times pass by like a bullet....pow!

A wonderful friend from Jakarta and two friends from Kota Marudu.....came together and stayed in our house for few nights.  Definite our favourite eating house became theirs too :)

4 Days to Naw Ruz

Time really flies especially when you're having the nervous-wrecking moment,
preparing for an important job interview.
And now, it's going to be another

four days before the end of the fasting period for the Baha'is.
Oh, just want to show off some photos of easy-to-prepare, less fuss food that easily feed the dry and flavourless taste buds.

 

Wholemeal bread spread with tuna and slices of cucumber, tomato and Bombay onions.

Awesome chilli chicken with tomato

Not forgetting a wonderful breaking fast session with friends of Penampang......prepared a pot of beehoon in chilli sauce!



Mum's in Town

Oh No!  Am gaining almost 5 kilos within 2 weeks!

Too much of eating, especially when mum is in town.

 

I guess, the new gym is definitely waiting for me! 

Guess we had to much of durian in the form of ice-cream!  Selling at RM3, one can enjoy the nice cone, exactly like a fresh durian.  Just drop by City Mall to grab one. 

Had these in a friend's house and my goodness, mum and Felix love them so much we had to go to the bakery almost every day.  Seriously delicious!  So, while stock last, go grab all these at Uncle Biscuit, near the Damai Post Office ya!

Moo Cow Frozen Yogurt!  Got these at Lintas Plaza!

Soft Ice-cream at 1Borneo

Felix and Mum were totally crazy about durians!  So, I had to follow them to Just Berrys Dessert House also at Lintas Plaza for these! 

Totally recommendable!

Last but not least, mum at the Sabah Foundation Building



The Chub's Grill

So went to The Chub's Grill

located at Karamunsing Capital, Kota Kinabalu for lunch with hubby.

 

As soon as you come into the restaurant, you'll received some friendly welcoming greetings.....

Huge portion of Salmon served with salad and garlic bread

A huge plate of Bolognese Spaghetti and I couldn't finish it, so had to share with Roy

Near the Ocean

What a nice view of the rock and waves at Likas Bay 

that can slowly smooth out the rough edges of our sorrow and ordeals!

When the wave hits the rock.....ouch!!!

Spot the Tun Mustapha Tower!

Such a windy late afternoon that will cast away all imperfections....

 "Grieve not at the divine trials. 

Be not troubled because of hardships and ordeals; 

turn unto God, bowing in humbleness and praying to Him, while bearing every ordeal, contented under all conditions and thankful in every difficulty. 

Verily thy Lord loveth His maidservants who are patient, believing and firm. 

 He draws them nigh unto Him through these ordeals and trials" 

~ Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha  Abbas, Vol. 1, p. 51 ~

"Be patient in the time of affliction and trial, endure every difficulty and hardship with a dilated heart, attracted spirit and eloquent tongue in remembrance of the Merciful. Verily this is the life of satisfaction, the spiritual existence, heavenly repose, divine benediction and the celestial table! Soon thy Lord will extenuate thy straightened circumstances even in this world."  ~Abdu'l-Baha
