Sarawak trip again

kuching(part three)
Ooooh, i was really amazed by the new airport in Kuching. It looked just like a smaller version of KLIA. Once again, i hope Melaka will soon build a very very beautiful, humongous airport to compete with Kuching. Heehee.

Alright, here we have at least 3 tour guide. Nic, irene, and sc. Too bad the rest of them not around to bring us around. Otherwise our trip will be more crazy than we had expected.
The food in Kuching festival was really tempting. I ate lemon fish+nasi briyani if i had not mistaken. Marvellous taste. I give 8 out of 10. However, the 'bird' i tasted was really awful...yucks...i'll never eat that kind of bird anymore.

We were lucky enough to be able to stay at irene's house. Such a warm welcome we received during our stay. Bravo!!! The next few days, we visited Damai beach, nothing much to do there except we took lots of picture. And the girls were trying to drown me. Luckily, i was heavy enough not to be pushed by them. Haha. U lost gals!!

Then we went to cultural village for a sight of what the aborigines were doing there. Not so boring afterall, as we drank a few type of rice-type-alcohol. Emm, taste better than those cocktails in pub.

As for the performance we watched inside the auditorium, we saw only one pretty dancer. Nah, that doesn't really matter. I remember i went onto the stage with s.a to imitate their tradisional dance. Hurray for us!!

Oh, there was one almost-ghost-like-cafe in kuching...kinda scary because no light bulbs are available in the garden area(1.5mx2m). It was quite frustrating when i have to read the menu. I took quite some time just to see what word was printed on the book.

And of course our night in Kuching ended very young. It was the earliest night we returned to our lovely 'dorm' during our trip to Sarawak. We were so thankful to S.C family for inviting us to such a great dinner. Really, we all gained weight from this exciting trip. They all said Irene is an insanely 'kuai kuai' girl. Do you believe it? Yeah, just give your best shot to comment here.
And then, our journey ended happily after seeing Irene sent us off from Kuching airport...Bye Sarawak...

Sarawak trip

Sibu (part two)
After saying bye bye to doreen's mom and dad at Miri's bus station, we departed to Sibu, a place where andrew suppose to be in if he is still in Malaysia. Haih, no 'yuan' with him.

5 hours in the bus sure is boring one. Nevertheless, it was accompanied by some cockroaches...You can hear S.A scream throughout the bus...Lucky enough, we able to play poker all the way to Sibu. 6 of us were the most noisy passengers in the bus. Thankfully the driver didn't throw us out. Hehe.

S.O so happy meeting us there( probably only, since he had to handle so many devils from nowhere). Thanks to him, we ate a lot delicious titbits and popular 'small eat' from Sibu. But i guess buying pirated cds were out biggest achievement there. RM1 for one cd was really cheap. Oh, he told us lots of ghost story. We finally made a conclusion that Sibu is well known for cd and ghost. Yeah!!!

We spent large proportion of our time hunting for cds. The only significant place we visited was the 'haunted' park. Eww, sounds creepy when he told us about the ghost stories he heard. Wait a minute, before this we spent half a day for the girls to rummage around 2 boutiques...Haha....

Finally, we took our plane from Sibu to Kuching. Sometimes i wonder why melaka don't have domestic airport. Even the small town Sibu has it.

To be continue...

Sarawak Trip

Miri (part one)
I took a bus from malacca with esmond to pudu where we later took a cab to KL central. There, we met S.A and T.H. 4 of us departed to LCCT( a brand new airport for domestic flight). Oh, then i understand what is 'airbus' meant. (just a normal plane!!) P.F already there waiting for us. Our destination is miri!!

Not surprising, we can't see many building from on top of the plane. Just plainly trees!! Ahah, i felt so happy to see doreen and N.C there. =P It is a small town with few cars, i guess. And i was anticipating what is awaiting for us tomorrow.

We ate dim sum, many many dim sum the next morning. lol I guess there's no diff with the one in west malaysia. Visiting the shopping centre was quite interesting though. From one end to the other only took us 5 mins. ^^

The only shopping complex that really caught my attention was Boulevard( cause it is everywhere, including restaurant++) If i not mistaken, we went to another complex after we visited N.C lovely house. Her house very big indeed!!! Got cute dog also!!


Oh ya, we were told that we had brought the rain to sarawak as it had not rained for centuries. We played bowling and watched movie, VOICE( indeed an ultra-super-ridiculously boring movie)

Guess what, we went to brunei for one day trip. One thing i sad about that country is the unfriendly treatment we had at the brunei custom. It was a very long trip. We saw petroleum plantation all over the place with some funny machine called 'metal horse' to dig the oil. Among the places we visited include village on the lake, shopping mall and jerutong( a leisure park with many abandoned games). Only the bumber car that had drived us crazy. Hehe.

Miri is quite an interesting place. Well i wonder is that all the places we visited within the miri area. Gua Niah. Haha. Another fantastic place we had visited. Once you come here you will realise how small the hills or caves you have ever climbed. We took a total of 4 hours to finish about 10km walk, including climbing stairs and slopes. The cave alone did not catch much of mty attention. It was the joy of walking long distance that excited me. Ah!!! There was a part in the cave that esmond suddenly missing from behind us. He fell from the bridge to the soil beside. Lucky it was not deep. God bless him. lol

Now i want to talk about the night life in miri. Keke. Pub was our major priority at night. We had tried uncountable amount of cocktail and liquor. Umm, not very nice in taste actually. For the pub we went twice, Island, bravo cause your passion to tell us what drink most suitable for us is really appreciated. Pss, S.A drunk in one of the occasions...hehe. She became a big mouse at night that stole doreen's 2 packets of maggie mee to eat...haha.

In Miri, i had a very pleasureable stay in doreen's house with her family's warm hospitality. I think anyone come to Miri can go find her too because she very generous one...haha. Ah, there i discovered 'bilin', a type of vege that we can't find in west malaysia. Basically i think the food in miri really delicious!!! To be continue......
