Last week I was in Miri for couple of days with Mousie to buy "hantaran" for both of our side.. As usual , I'm very excited and really looking forward to this trip.. (Honestly, I always get excited when I'm going somewhere..)
Day 1Woke up as early as 6.00 in the morning.. *yawn* If hadn't been because of this trip, I'd say I wouldn't be up this early.. hahahaa. I wouldn't worry so much of the packing, 'coz I already get my things packed before hand (wayyyy before hand.. and yes, I did it 2 weeks before this trip..) So, I get myself ready , and have a small breakfast with family , just to fill me in.. Actually both my parents , and also my young sis were away on the same day to KK and Serikei to attend weddings of our family relatives.. I feel guilty 'coz I might be away from attending my first cousin's wedding... :-( So sorry Fatma..
After filled in the gas , and voraciously bought lots of things to munch, we begin our trip to Miri.. The weather was not on our side that day as it rains.. Moushie grumbles a bit 'coz he just washed his car.. hehehehe.. poor my Moushie.. The road was okay this time , as it was not as bumpy as we both anticipated. But what worried us much is the pothole.. Yeah, a definite nightmare for 17" and above nicely rimmed car.. *heh! I gathered there were quite a few of potholes along the road but, a skilled driver as Moushie is.. :-D he managed to duck 'em all.. (is it duck? okay, whatever) The journey to Miri was okay , and we arrived quite late (we departed at 8 and arrived at 10.30) probably because of the weather and the slippery road, we hafta stay 100 and below..
As usual, our first stop was at Damai Cafe. Lame as it sound , it's the only cafe we know in Miri.. :-D We waited for Ed to come over as we planned to have dinner together that night.. *SEAFOOD!!!* Meanwhile, waiting for Ed to get back from work, me and Moushie decided to hit Parkson for our hantaran hunting.. But... before we actually do that, we need "fuel" and by that I mean "LUNCH" :-D
Since we were sicked to death with the only cafe we know , we decided to search for a new place... Not a wise move either 'coz both of us are clueless when it comes to Miri hotspots.. The only Muslim restaurant that we encounter is near Boulevard.. (I forget the name.. something like "Curry House..")
After filling up our tank, we're ready for our mission! hehehee.. We're off to Bintang Plaza and straight up to Parkson.. I'd say it's kinda odd to see the parking lots were half full coz usually during this time the mall was jammed pack with people and it's a nightmare to even get a car park there!
The first thing we do as we arrived at Parkson was looking for perfumes.. Needless to say I was a bit appalled to see that there's not much options considering it's quite a huge mall... I was looking for Britney Spears' collection but in vain coz I couldn't found one.. Same goes with Moushie.. He fancied Ralph Lauren Romance Silver - the one that I got for him on his 26th Birthday.. :-) Alas, we couldn't found it in set.. However the girl on the counter said that we could come tomorrow to check it out 'coz she's only a temp for that counter that day..
Then we both proceed to handbag sections... And Oh-My-GOD indeed , I was quickly in "RAMBANG MATA" mode.. Guess.. Sembonia.. Carlo Rino.. Bonia.. (errkk.. wait.. that ain't my taste.. looks too exclusive for the likes of me.. mcm datin-datin.. hahahahha) Although it's not much but it's enough to make me drooling.. :-D We stopped at Carlo Rino section and browse through.. The bags mostly are in-season..
Okay.. this is actually the second choice.. Thank goodness the security wasn't here or else we would be in trouble for taking this picture.. :-D ngehehehe.. Luckily the Sales Lady is kind enough to allow us to take this picture.. How was it? Pretty awesome rite? ;-)
**spoiler alert!!!** hehehehe..
Lurveeeeeee this one..
It's the only one that left and available
and both of us approve it so...
No waiting - JUST GRAB IT!! AWESOMENESS!!

STILL, in rambang mata mode, we switch to Moushie's hantaran - Wallet and Belt set.. Not quite much option to choose from.. I was particularly like one Bonia set but as Moushie put it makes him looked old using that brand.. Hmmm.. couldn't argue with him on that.. :-D After an hour hunting for the one he's fancied, he then decided to go wit Allan Delon's.. We felt that both of us had it enough in the Parkson alone and quickly paid for both the items and out.. AND MY FEET ARE KILLING ME! Thank GOD that I wear sandals rather than heels , otherwise I might scorch my feet for this mission.. (okay.. scorch is kinda overstatement... :-D )
MOUSHIEEEEEEEEEEE.. I need a breakkkk!! I know that when I'm hungry, I tend to be a bit crabby, so Moushie "shut" me up with this little treat.. Awwwwww.. so glad that he knows me best.. hahahhaa.. I believe this ice-cream is Italian Gelato version of popsicle.. And the best part, you could write something on it!
How cool is that???
"TEY SYUK" on ice! hehhee.. :-P
and later on that "TEY-SYUK" was eaten..
Okay.. moving on to our night activity .. *ehem* get your mind out of the gutter please.. I'm talking about makan-makan activity here.. :-D We got Ed, our best buddy to take us to the best Seafood heaven in Miri.. Yeah I know it's too good to be true that I'm going to purely enjoy my trip this time, that supposedly best place was closed due to CNY.. Damn! But, no worries, we still have Luak Bay seafood restaurant to satisfy 3 big stomach that night.. hehehehehe..This is the place like no other.. well, for me at least.. We got beach.. we got good food.. what else do you need other than this enjoyment? We ended up ordering foods that probably fit for 5 people (and there were only 3 of us).. But I gotta tell ya, they were all oh so gooodddd!
Butter prawn.. sweet and sour fresh crabs.. ikan panggang with sambal.. sayur paku masak belacan.. sambal sotong... perghhhhhhh!!! I got no regrets abandoning my diet that night..Day 2
We off early that morning 'coz Ed will be away for his "petani moden" job.. hehehehe.. As he promised, he took us to the place where we hangout last time we were in Miri.. The best hawker food I ever tasted for MI KOLOK! Yes, it was quite cheaper, considering how good the taste was..
Mi kolok special.. I hope you drooling over this picture.. *evil grin*
After that somewhat heavy breakfast and saying goodbye to Ed, we head back to Miri Plaza to continue our Hantaran Hunt.. Since yesterday we couldn't got hold of "STAGE" make-up outlet, so we went straight to it.. Lucky me that the Beauty Advisor's friendly and was willing to help the girl who's absolutely clueless about make-up.. Actually, am a bit embarrassed coz I know next to nothing about make-up... (kindly please read my last entry about make-up.. :-D ) I was definitely thankful of her.. Of course, there was a free make-over!! Yayyy! Score A for team S.T.A.G.E! I was impressed with the base and two-way cake as it really mattify my face.. Didn't look and feel cakey at all.. And what's more important, it stayed for hours considering how oily my skin is.. (you could almost fried a fish with it.. Hah!)We ended up with make-up base, two-way cake, 2 eye shadows, lip gloss (since I'm a sucker on lipstick), blusher, eye primer (don't know what that is until that day :-D ), concealer and I got a nail color for free!! Yayy!! One more A for team S.T.A.G.E.. The lady was kind enough to wrap the stuffs for me, and then presented a free Stage Membership.. Yet ANOTHER A Score for Team S.T.A.G.E!!! hehehe..
While waiting for the package to be be ready, we rushed for the next hunt.. Moushie's shoes.. Originally I planned to get him an Onitsuka Tiger.. But Moushie had a second thought on that.. Said it's a little too overrated for such a simple snicker.. Huhuhuu.. Turns out he had an eye on yet another Ralph Lauren collection.. Polo Sport.. I don't know.. Probably he always wanted to be the spokeperson for Ralph Lauren..? Hahahaha.. Kidding of course..
Moushie trying on shoes.. Please bear in mind that this is NOT the only shoe he's trying.. they were lots more that not been seen in this picture.. :-PAfter settling on Moushie's shoes, we're off to the next one : PERFUME.. Now, since I encounter that there were not much of a choice here in Parkson, so I just ended up choosing Estee Lauder Pure White Linen in Pink Coral coz it suits my fussy nose.. :-D and by fussy I mean I can't really stand the strong and over powering smell.. I'm exceptionally love its floral and subtle note.. Definitely a winner for me.. As for Moushie.. he stayed with Ralph Lauren Romance Silver coz he's seem to be deeply attached to it.. :-D Also, I bought a set of Bioterm face care for men...
Estee Lauder White Linen Pink Coral
Ralph Lauren Romance Silver for MenMy stomach was grumbled already.. and to say nothing about my feet that's hurt like hell.. Which means time for lunch break! Since I was craving for lasagna for quite some times, we choose to have our lunch at Secret Recipe.. .. blablabla.. hahahahhaa.. obviously right now I'm lost for words.. Then, after a while we were done being hantaran scavenger.. huhuu.. consume so much of our energy.. and money... So, here are few of random shots after that hantaran hunt..
