Sentence for 11th October 2009

Sentence: 出国吃午餐。

This sentence sounds really cool, considering that we actually went out of the country for lunch, haha. For us it was pretty easy, it only took 10 mins to cross the border into Brunei and another 10 mins drive to our favourite Japanese restaurant, Escapade.

Escapade, Kuala Belait

The food there is to die for! To name some, Layer Sushi, Big Belly Fish, Alaskan Roll and Baby Octopus are highly recommended. There are lots of other delicious food on the menu of course, but didn't really go there often enough to try others out. Ian Tan's favourite is the Salmon Sashimi.

Quite a spread for 4: Me, Alf, Ian and Aileen

Looks like a real train, even have a driver up front, lol.

Escapade Express

Later in the afternoon, we went for a second round of food splurge: Durians! Since it is near the peak of the season, durians are running cheap. We went to Emart and ate some cheap, but nice durians, only RM5 per pop and can run as cheap as RM3 per pop. 7 of us went, had 9 RM5 ones and 1 RM25 ones. The RM5 ones taste better and quite meaty, but the RM25 ones have better texture and have a milder but slightly different taste.

Well, can't just eat and drink full then straight go back home to be a couch potato, right? So we went to campus to have a walk. Some of you might think us crazy and out of our minds but believe me, Curtin's sunset views and evening weather are quite pleasant.

This was actually taken at campus

Beautiful sunset reflection on Curtin Lake
