Tina and I spent the whole journey home reminiscing Kuching, Feeling emotive to leave, as it’s so peaceful there… no worries…& ++… as we board the plane- it struck me- “tina, saya nak balik Kuching” – flying back to reality is not a choice I favour. My first impression of Kuching - As far sighted- no dominant feature frame the view of the city thus at view - illusion that we are in a floating distant land. Razi, awang, salman n meg were at the airport waiting. Awang drove tina & I – introducing us to Cat city- Our first stop, would be Razi’s home- for the gals (where a lot of accidents @ ‘tulah’ happened) while the guys bunked at awang’s-
1st night in Kuching- dinner at Saddad Court (razi’s uncle’s restaurant) followed by a stroll along the waterfront + cruise along the river dlm penambang- supper at benteng (katenye best mee kolok?) – Ok ja-
2nd day- sunny side up! The gals head up first with Razi & Amir for a morning dosage of Laksa Sarawak- first attempt- best! – We visited the new Sarawak Stadium coz ajil is doing a study on stadiums- then off to the waterfront again for the gals- did some shopping; we went through all the small shops up to Tun Jugah while waiting for the guys (Friday prayers) –in the evening- went to DBKU, a panoramic view of Kuching- nice! - Then off to the library- I had a misunderstanding- why are we going to a library? Ne… heee- to feed the fishes... loads of em- lazy fishies waiting to be fed with freshly baked breads… had a candlelight dinner at the other side of the waterfront- then Razi & Amir drove the gals ghost-hunting (kononnyela) while the guys head back to awang’s to freshen up b4 their futsal game… outcome- the only effected was Tina with her bloody dreams;p
3rd day- as always, the guys were late so the gals head up to rojak kucei for breakfast (nyaman~@sedap) it’s a bit odd to pick up sarawakians vocab- just learnt some of it- I didn’t try so since I’d tend to speak Indon…Lunch at sugarbun- some sort of franchise food chain in Sarawak that served all kind of food. Next stop- pasar minggu (did I get this right, amnesia?) bought a wooden kitty and some souvenirs. Head back to Razi’s early since we’re having a bbq~ chicken-soto-potato-sosej-fish- razi also invited some of his friends. We bunk in early- tired… the guys when to watch some drag racing-
4th day- complot- the gals wake up early, razi n auntie drive us to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre- a chance to see a real life orang-utan. Back to Saddad for lunch, met with the guys n off to Damai- 30minutes drive from Kuching- a day at the beach- played amateur beach volleyball- swim-stroll- a captivating vista of santubong- my favourite activity, enjoying the misty ocean breeze facing the open sea- a piece of earthly heaven.
5th day- after breakfast, Shim & I went for a swim- end up with flushed cheeks n a pocketful of sand- we just love the waves. Check out and of to the cultural village, wrong timing- since we have to rush through the houses to catch the cultural performance- had fun at the melanau house- hiks- embarrassing moment at the performance- duhh… Stop at Damai look out spot for a drink while waiting for amir & alan to pick us up- Dinner at Saddad and ‘pusing-pusing roundabout-roudabout Kuching tgk rumah-rumah” since it’s our last night in Kuching- specially requested- mee kolok benteng- then head home to packup.
6th day- last day, rojak kucei again! Heee… went to satok- for UITM –usahawan ikan terubuk masin… the guys head to the waterfront to shop while we went to tun jugah for a drink. We then sent ikha, shim, adda, emon n zam to the airport since their fight is at 1325 while ours is at 1735. Razi treat us to a lunch at KGS, then off to batu 7, to pick up Mahdi’s tikar n for me to buy a tikar for shim. On the way to the airport, pitstop at taman sahabat, a nice park- snapped some photos with tina.
Balit naik belon…
Takkan lupa nyaman laksa Sarawak, mee kolok & rojak kucei
Naik moto jalan-jalan, lalu dua tiang putih
Favourite spot emon- flyover pertama Kuching
Tingkap razi yang berjase
Anjing yang suka makan kasut
Lawak gambir gmin
Nasi goreng manok? Malu sey~
Thank you to razi, amir, wan, alan the A4’s - that was gracious enough to withstand the these 14 culprits… kecoh in Kuching- a journey embraced
One day I’ll be back!
