#2 A Place Calls "Meow~"

Hai! Nama brita nuan?
Hehehe.. Have no idea on what am I saying don't you?
Well it means "How are you" in Sarawak mother tongue
So ya~ I just came back from my 4D3N vacation in Kuching.
A wonderful vacation with awesome people =D
*too bad my cute Aji cannot join us*

Wonder who is my lovely partner?
Tata~ here she is- The pretty Ah-Shu

Credit to her I had a wonderful time in Kuching.
She paid a lot of efforts for our trip.
So yeah~ must give her a like!

******************************

WARNING:
This is an extremely LONG post.
So here is my kindly advice: get a cup of tea with you, and enjoy!

******************************



Pre-Day

Wonder what is Pre-day?
Hehe.. this is only applied on me.
Our flight was the earliest flight- 7am
Which mean we have to arrive at airport by 5am.
Too bad dad is not familiar with the road, and he is not willing to wake up early just to send me there.
At first was thinking to sleep at airport with Aji.
I know this sounds a bit crazy BUT life is short!
So why not just give a try?
*but I know this is impossible as my parents won't allow*
It's okay~ never mind~ I have a nice friend, and she has a very nice family.
Her father wasn't mind to send me too!
Lalala~ Yes Yes Yes! He is Uncle Chee.
*THANK YOU VERY MUCH UNCLE*
So~ I went to Ah-Shu's house on Sunday.
Hehehe~
As usual, I still afraid of her Scooby-Doo, but welcomed by her two little doggies.
Tried my best to make friend with Scooby-Doo~ but too bad I still not success yet.
It's okay~ I will "jia you de"!
Actually nothing much to talk on this day.
Unless talk about every second I spent at Ah-Shu's house.
But I'm not that Sakai. So ya the end for this part.


Day 1 (17/2/214)

Woke up early in the morning. Before my alarm wakes me up.
Ah-Shu has already woke up.
Prepare myself quietly. And I smell coffee~ from downstairs.
Uncle was drinking his coffee.
Wanted to drink so badly but too bad my body not ready yet.
*I don't take breakfast too early*
Then uncle and auntie send us to airport.
At first I thought the scene was gonna play as this: Uncle and auntie park their car at car park. Then, they accompany us to drop our luggage, lepak a while and goodbye in front of boarding gate.
But seem I watch too much HK movie.
Uncle and Auntie just drop us at airport then headed to home.
So, I- this little kit who has less (or least) experience, just followed Ah-Shu.
*Luckily Ah-Shu was there AND I gained experience from my 1st trip to Bangkok*
After dropped our luggage, we lepak a while in airport.
But nothing much for us to see as shops were still closed.
And I still in half-awaken status.
Guess what? I barely remember what I did in airport.

Sitting next to window site. But not gonna enjoy the view with my half-opened eyes.
Aji's seat was supposed empty but too bad was taken by an uncle.
I bet he saw no one sitting there so he just took the seat.
Actually I'm okay. Just I don't like the uncle blocking my way out to toilet!
Because he was sleeping! And I heard snoring xD
And he was very relax when everyone prepared to get down from the plane.
We were so nervous as we wanna go toilet so badly. Poor us!
So without hesitate we ran to toilet once got down from the plane.
Bought taxi coupon to Hotel Grand Margherita.
The lobby looks great. The room looks comfortable. And the staffs were friendly.
A nice hotel which I would rated 4 stars out of 5


Waiting for someone~
Allis' friend- Joshua is having his sem break and he is so nice to offer to become our driver
So we just waited patiently at hotel lobby and discussed for our itinerary
[ Dear Rafflesia, why you can't wait for me for one more day? ]
 Our Gading trip had to be cancelled due to the death of Rafflesia
It's okay~ We can pay a visit again =D
Seem our plan has been disturbed. So we just randomly pick a tourism attraction-- Jung Crocodile Farm
It was supposed a short distance from hotel but due to traffic jam, it took us around 1 hour to reach there.
I gotta admit that I fall asleep in the car xD
So here we are! Jung Crocodile Farm!

Fat crocodile~ It's aged as a grandpa btw
Crocodile is swimming~ So Funny! xD


Not going to put much pictures here =D
Next, we went to Kuching Waterfront, which is located near to our hotel, takes around 5 minute walking
The pros of buying a new camera: You can take as many pictures as you want
The cons of only 2 people are going for vacation: You take hers and she take yours pic

At Kuching Waterfront. We are snapping each other =D


I love this pic =)

Nice night view at Kuching Waterfront

A natural pose(?) 
Went to The Junk for dinner.
The dinner was great! The environment was comfortable! And we are too Awesome!
Hahaha.. xD 
Anyway~ The portion was BIG and the price was reasonable
Not a bad place and worth for next visit =)



Day 2 (18/2/2014)

Woke up earlier than my alarm.
The air conditioner in the room was super cold~
Thanks God Ah-Shu haven't wake up.
So that I can jumped into toilet with light speed! 
Hahahaha.. xD
Saw a sleeping beauty playing her phone on her bed after came out.
And I funny (clumsy?) jumping action into my bed made Ah-Shu laughed.
Anyway~ she understood my reason as she also exclaimed that the floor was super cold!
Almost backed to sleep again while waiting for Ah-Shu to get ready.
Well I'm not blaming k! I was too sleepy as woke up so early!

Snap picture is more important than press the 'close' button 
The breakfast was okay okay only. I rated 2 stars out of 5.
It would be great if the food is hot
A lovely lady called Erica was joining us today.
Gotta admit that she is a better tour guide than Allis xD
And she is an outspoken girl too. Such a kind lady.

Today's Destination: Matang Wildlife Centre
It took about 45 minutes to reach there I think?
Thought we gonna spent for whole afternoon at there
Guess what? I think we finished our tour around 1 hour only.

(Left): Ah-Shu, Allis, Erica & Joshua

So we headed to Kubah National Park
Which is Allis' nightmare park- Frog Pond
He was screaming like a lady when I had no idea what's going on
LOL~ Just a frog jumped in front of him
[p/s: he is afraid of lizard too!]
Going uphill is never an easy thing.
This is so exhausting! Not ever thinking to give up but I need time
Maybe you guys should go first and I meet you at the top of mountain

Wonder how they walk without feeling tired


After exhausted exercise (Not really! We gave up at the half-way), Joshua sent us back to hotel
Thanks God I can have a bath and rest!
Seeing Ah-Shu was still more energetic than me.
Played phone~ Watched TV~ She was too bored to stay at hotel for nothing. Hahaha
Yet I also don't want to waste my vacation by just sitting on the bed.
So.......
"Let's go" I said.
"Go where?" Ah-Shu asked
"Anywhere. We go take pictures!"

Cat Statues located just opposite our hotel


So we two went out again with our toys~ xD
Headed to Main Bazaar which is totally different from KL.
The bazaar here is actually a shop lots.
Shopping time! =D
Too bad Allis was sick and couldn't join us.
So we two had to settle dinner ourselves.
Bumped into Ipoh Kopitiam at Tun Jaguh.
Had famous Sarawak Laksa and Bouncing Noodles.
The servant was so funny!
"Your lemon tea want ice or cold?" He asked Ah-Shu
At first I didn't get them as I did not pay attention to their conversation.
Then he asked me: "You want ice or cold?" 
"Less ice please~" I smiled. And we three laughed together.

I am a happy girl!

She was so happy because I treat her 'Ding Tea' 
By the way, thank you for treating me dinner =D
Backed to hotel around 9.
We lepak at lobby as Uncle encouraged too.
"Lepak la~ you have no chance to lepak as your uni is starting next week!" 
So we had Lemon Tea at lobby~


It looks like a wine

And yes! We took pictures again!


 Ah-Shu insisted to bath. I had tried my best to persuade her to not to do so yet failed.
[lazy mood ON!]
So I just sat on bed and watched TV
"Do you want a romantic scene?" Ah-Shu asked suddenly.
"How? o.O" I asked curiously.
She smiled and put on our curtain. Because of the dim light in the room, our room really looks romance.
So~ guess what?
I made a lot of jokes and she couldn't help laughing.
Hahahaha~



Day 3 (19/2/2014)

Today's destination: Damai Beach Resort

The Sky~The Sea~ The Sand~



They are waiting for me to take selfie 




Well~ The resort looks good, but I dislike our room.
The floor wasn't clean enough as the sand is everywhere
But cannot deny that the view around here is very nice!
We went to Sarawak Cultural Village.
It's only located 5 minute walk distance from Beach Resort
*Bring your student ID to get RM15 for entrance ticket instead of RM60*

Not going to post much photos here.
Why? Because my lazy mood is switching on (Mi-An~)
SCV is really worth for visit if you wish to understand Sarawak culture.
The people there are nice and you can take a lot of nice photos with their nice view.
Yet just a kindly reminder: bring your insect repellent.
I wonder why mosquitoes loved to kiss us xD

She took selfie when I was applying insect repellent



Went back to Damai Beach after SCV.
Sunset is so nice! Feel great to watch sunset with these gang of lovely friends!
And you can see many themes at the beach especially during sunset: Family, Friendship and Love!

Family~


Friends~


and LOVE!


Day 4 (20/2/2014)

The last day in Kuching.
Woke up at 4am.
Had no idea why I woke up earlier than my alarm.
Thinking should I wake Ah-Shu up as she wanna watch sunrise
But due to laziness and sleepiness, I ignored my thought.
Guess what? I woke up again at 5am.
Asked myself the same question again.
But seeing Ah-Shu was sleeping tightly make me not bear to wake her up
(Haha~ okay la I also lazy to get up from my bed)
So continue sleeping!
And and and.....! Woke up at 7.30am.
It was raining outside!
Thanks God I made a wise decision just now.

Last day in Kuching
Damai's breakfast is better than Grand Margherita.
[Just my opinion]
Wanted to walk a beach before going back to Kuching.
Too bad it's raining so we had to go back to our room and start packing.
Took shuttle bus backed to Kuching.
Sadly to say but
I/ kena/ Ah-Shu/almost/by/scolded
(rearrange the sentence)
Don't worry! We are fine and still are best friends!
Actually we are just caring for each other
I love you Ah-Shu! My unbiological sister =)
Love you very very very much! Muacks!
Thanks Allis' mum for sending us to airport and tapau "Kuoh Zap" for us.
Erm.. I prefer Kok Lok Mee!

Selfie at airport
We had nothing to do at the airport as we reached earlier.
Feel a bit sad when thinking our vacation gonna end soon.
But I know more vacations are coming.
So here's the warning for Cute Aji: Please join us for next vacation! We miss you! 

Awesomely Crazy Allis  xD
THANK YOU to Mr.Allis
Although you're not a good tour guide, you're a very good friend!
Thank you for accompaniment. I know you had tried your best to be a good tour guide.
You're not but a responsible tour guide.
At least you didn't dumped us =D
Bringing us around Kuching(although you are not the driver)
Credit to you, we make two new friends- Joshua and Erica
And I have to say that it's my pleasure and glad to know them.
