Blame it on the power cut yesterday that lasted for more than 5 hours in the house, and by evening time, I was out on our 2nd year anniversary dinner and movie.
Then today the internet decided to go bonkers on me all afternoon.
Sigh. It's fate that's not allowing me to blog I tell you.
Clare was the only person in the party who has ever tried Sago Worms and knew how to eat it. So we had her to demonstrate to us, and the rest of you readers, HOW to Eat a Live Sago Worm.
And for the MOST exciting part.
ME EATING A LIVE SAGO WORM! (click to play video below)
Ho ho.... be warned, I was quite the coward when it comes to eating live shit, so pardon my jumpi-ness.
I totally freaked out. You have to watch the video to see how freaked out I was.
God I swear it was so god damn gross when you have a torn worm with all its goo oozing out from its lifeless body and you knew you were about to put that THING in your mouth, AND SWALLOW IT!
OMG I could faint at that point.
But really, it didn't really taste anything fancy. Read previous post on my experience here.
And if you have the extra free time, here's the rest of us having a go at the sago worms.
Watch it, cause in there you can see a more terrified Derek trying to consume a worm and gagged, several times. LOL
This post simply compost of one thing I found most fascinating during my last trip to Sarawak.
Sago worms.
The larvae of the Red Palm Weevils - type of beetle. These crawlers feed and live on the trunk of the sago palm trees, most popular in South East Asia.
And to the natives of Borneo, these babies are delicacies.
Ok. If you feel sick by now, I suggest you close or ALT-F4 this window right now, else... brace yourself people, because it's getting wormy.
I've included all the photos I've ever taken of the Sago Worms in this trip in this post just to prepare of what I am about to post in my next post.
See it as a teaser post, shall we?
Because my challenge on this third trip to Kuching, you know it, was to eat it.
Since the first day I learned about the sago worm almost four years ago, I knew one day it would be my destiny to savour and sample these local delectables grown in our homeland.
What can I say, I was sick, and loved an adventure in the gastronomy side of travelling.
Pain is when you wake up to find five of your existing ulcers are gradually connecting to each other.
And they've swollen up to an incredible size.

View my five connecting ulcers~!
This is the result of me biting into my lips way too hard.
They're the reason I can't eat, talk, drink and THINK these days.
This is what happen when you have a friend who keep dodging your attempt to have photo of him/her.
*dodge*
*dodge*
*complete dodge*
WTF.
The best shot of him/her with me (refused to be identified) was this.
WTF x 2.
Stop glaring at my fringe/bang. This photo was taken last year in July.
A bunch of friends and I went on a diving trip to Sipadan (second time!!) and I was still stuck in my atrocious haircut then. Then, I was already an advanced diver. And gonna take my rescue course soon. *ngek ngek*
Am actually compiling the photos so I can blog about them in my next post.
In the mean time, this is what I do (did) when I'm (was) waiting for food (or for anything really) and have (had) a SLR 500D in my hand (sometimes it's a 50D, depends).
(Right, as for the bun. I have to improvise with my short bangs right? So I opted for a Japanese bun when I'm too lazy to mane my hair. )
almighty bun!
Anyway, back to waiting for my breakfast.

Instead of freakin', they call it Freekin' Sale. Cute. What can you do, it's Malaysia right?
50% off call. 50% off downloads. And Free Black Blackberry Access.
I think there's something about subscribing RM2.50 Blackberry Advance 2.5G unlimited data per day plan for five weekdays and get the weekend's subscriptions free.
I like the catch phrase though - Sale, on mobile service fee. Nice.
Like the photo too. Two mannequin sitting next to each other like it's a retail sale.
is that girl holding a coach? *squint* doesn't look like a coach. ermm...

Speaking of mannequins, there's this BMW billboard ad in Bridgeport, Connecticut that used mannequin as a ad props on a large billboard.
Nothing special right? But the funny thing was quite several residents in Bridgeport called the police to report attempted suicide when they drive through this board.
Really~ -.-
Well apparently the police has asked BMW to kindly remove the mannequins, and to no surprise, they refused.
Like duh~! It's a great publicity stunt! Unexpected, but great publicity coverage! Haha.. Now people are writing about it. People, er... like me. :p
