lousy food, kong'ed iPhone and over-kiasu Kuchingites...
Han was back in Kuching to attend a friend's wedding, so us old friends went to this new place called Asian Recipe for lunch last Sunday. I ordered the Penang Asam Laksa (picture), which I seriously regretted. It didn't suit the taste bud at all, and was too sour to my liking.
appearance wise, it looked pretty pathetic already, 5 seconds later, the taste confirmed the lousiness of the food... and they have the cheek to charge RM5.50 for this kindda crap...
fortunately, I enjoyed the dessert that Han bought from Taiwan - the famous 凤梨酥 that I mentioned about last month when my parents too brought some back from their Taiwan trip.
After the lunch, went over to Saberkas to try get Han's iPhone fixed. what happen was that the bugger, after getting the phone unlocked, went to upgrade the software, which caused the phone to kena locked again. Sommore he didn't bring back the data cable, so the guy at the phone shop couldn't do anything about it as there were no iPhone data cables around.
a note for all to-be/current iPhone users: If you wanna upgrade the software, do it before having it unlocked. once it's unlocked, you shouldn't upgrade the software as doing so will cause the phone to lock itself.
Lastly, I drove past The Spring during it's first day of operation (Thurday, January 10). The traffic jam was horrendous, as if the entire Kuching population was trying to squeeze into the mega mall. The newspaper reported that over 110,000 people went to The Spring on the opening day, and that was about 15% of Kuching's 700,000 population.

That building in the picture is only one of the two buildings connecting to each other... Look at them cars causing all the jams!! There are 3 entrances into the mega mall area, and all 3 roads were jammed up, causing residents around The Spring, typically those living in Kenyalang Park (including ME!!!) a hard time getting in and out of the area...
Verdict: Kuching people damn KIASU lar... I'll give The Spring until after Chinese New Year, then the volume of shoppers going there would probably be reduced to the state that I could park my cars sideways in the 1200 parking-lot basement without causing a hoo-haa...
