Kuching Trip

After viewing all the photos, videos and the awesome blog post by yen yee, I have the urge to blog about Kuching trip (06 Jan 2011 ~ 10 Jan 2011) before it is too late. (If I didn't blog now, I bet you guys have to wait until after CNY.) I've been so busy after the trip. Will only get to touch my lappie after 11pm. Life~

Back to the topic. Here is the summary of the trip with photos.

The very first day. We reached Kuching with our exhausted face. All of us have no energy to joke and talk. We were like strangers, as if we are back to transition camp again. We looked at each other with smiley face, without any words. We toured around the town after lunch. I like all the places we visited. You can get to see the uniqueness of arts and cultures of Orang Iban, Orang Ulu (i'll never miss out this!), Orang Melanau, Chinese, etc in museums as well as enjoy the fresh air and eye-catching scenery at Waterfront.

At night, we had dinner at a restaurant. We were still acting like as if we just know each other for few hours. But it got better after the topic about the bride next door. LOL. They celebrated advanced birthday for Su Ann and me, as a surprise, after dinner. Everything was perfect except the knife part. I really got a shock and appreciate all the efforts. Thanks for bringing the gift and card all the way from KL to Kuching. Thanks for the lovely cake and dinner too.

Walked around The Spring after dinner and watched "The Tourist" before we end our day.

The 2nd Day. We had dim sum as breakfast. It tastes different but delicious, especially siu mai. Grabbed an Aladdin kite from a book store before we go Damai Beach. =)

Us with the abandoned kite.

We enjoy beach! We really do.

The 2 guys tried really hard to fly the kite while the girls were busy taking photos and laughing beside. Interested with the kite flying session? Kindly view Su Ann's awesome video for more information.

We played ping pong, congkak and watched cartoons before dinner. We took shuttle to a seafood restaurant for dinner. None of us will forget our "SANTUBONG 飘移车手" driver. Xin Ling and I enjoyed the roller coaster-like journey. =)

The 3rd Day. We went to cultural village. Here, we had lots of memories. Kah Sing found his love-- Orang Ulu, a few of us blew the sumpit, we climbed the very steep, small but unique stairs, etc.

We went back to the town after Cultural Village tour. Few of us went to eat Sarawak laksa after some rest while the others were sleeping. We took Sampan across the river after that to visit Dewan Undangan and Orchid Garden. Amazing first time experience taking sampan, except the part which I knocked my head due to my blur-ness. Had dinner and visited James' house after that. His mom offered to show us his childhood photos. That's lovely. After that, we went to pasar malam, the so called Sunday market.

The 4th day. We went to Crocodile Farm and a reserved jungle to see Orang Utan. We were lucky that day. About 8 Orang Utan-s appeared during feeding time, and we got so excited when the huge Ritchie appeared. I love her hair! haha.. We went to a very nice park before dinner. There's a statue of Cheng-Ho but none of us know why it is there. Anyway, the environment there is really soothing and nice. After dinner, we went to karaoke after craving for few days. And that ends our 4th day.

A very nice park with CHENG-HO statue behind us. =)

The 5th Day. Bought souvenirs, had lunch and went to airport. There's where we end our trip and say goodbye to James.

Thanks for reading such a long post. Here, I would like to say millions of THANK YOU to James & family, Jin Yu and Sky for touring us around, fetching us here and there. I would like to thank Su Ann, Yen Yee, Xin Ling, Jie Min, Kah Sing and James for making this trip so awesome and memorable. Our bond should stay strong until the day we meet again.

Love,
