Rainforest and Rain

Had fun at the Rainforest World Music Festival. No, it didn't rain then, but it is raining now. Will post more details when I'm not rushing to get to bed :)

Came back to Kuching today, and brought the relatives and their friends to lunch. One of them made the comment that she has come to expect sub-par standard (local) food in Sarawak. She mentioned roti canai. Well, she should try some real Sarawakian food if she wants good food! The number of mamak stalls and the like in KL mean that to be competitive and sustainable, the roti canai sold must be good or excellent. In Sarawak, Indian food is not the dominant hawker cuisine. Try la something really local, Aunty! I mean, having brought KL-ites out this same weekend and watching them Hoover (i.e. vacuum) up bowl after bowl of laksa, kolo mee, and belachan bee hoon (read: dishes that Sarawak is actually famous for!), I was so insulted that such a comment was made. To know the best places for local food outlets and cuisine, one should really have a local guide, something that I don't think she has had here.

Played futsal with boys tonight, really enjoyed it. Scored a hat-trick, which of course isn't necessarily a priority, but you can't deny that scoring is always a confidence booster. Maybe I'll put off retirement from this crazy game for a little while longer. ;)

Rain and thunder outside my window. (It's like Thunder! Lightning!)
