Sarawak Day 1 #Part 2
Assalamualaikum & Hi.
Well, I want to make something new in this very first 2016
entry. Since I've been idle because of lack of time, "cliche"
reason actually and only now I got that precious time, so I want to share
something that really really precious. Huh.
Okey.. This story was not so long like Umi Kalsum and also
not so short like Becky. I just want to make it simple yet wallawehhh~.~ It
was not less and not more, on this date but it was last year. But why? I just
want to reminisce what I am doing , with whom I being, what my
moments, what difficulties I faced, who stayed by me, and lot of any other
questionnaires.
Firstly, this trip supposed to be participated by 12
crazy mates but in the last minutes, the skinny boney boneyto Apijol had to
step back because of sick. Its okay. Maybe in some other time
bee-yacht!
Our meeting point was in KLIA2. Before we took
the flight, a heart to heart discussion was held because some of us got some
bittersweet issues to be solved. Alhamdulillah, it was settled clean and clear.
No argues and bitter faces anymore. So, hello Kuching!
The flying took 1 hour and 30 minutes only from KLIA2
to Kuching Airport. As we arrived, En. Khairul, our van driver had
waited for us. Oh ya, forgot to tell you. Actually we took a package from
Alami Travel Agency for 4 days and 3 nights. It included hotel, van and driver
and costed about RM2300 for 12 person. We stayed at Abell Residence Hotel
which is quite comfortable and located in the middle of Kuching city. I
named this trip as "Nature & Adventure" trip as we gained a lot
of new experience with natures, flora and fauna and I could tell and admit that
Sarawak is one of the hidden paradise.

| Cakes tasting and order process~ |
We went to Zaharah Cake Lapis, the first place of all as Sarawak very
well-known with its colorful, tasteful and beautiful layered cakes. I
could say that this was must-buy item when you visit Sarawak. The best
part was you can have a taste first before placing your orders. There were also ready-makes cakes. Since we
got another 3 days, so we demanded to have the fresh one from the
oven.
 |
| Waterfront wefie~ |
Then, En. Khairul brought us to
Kuching Waterfront. It was the most popular meeting place in the city. From
here, we can see an interesting piece of architecture blending arches with a
dome that takes after a native hat, State Assembly Building. From here too, we
can take the famous Sarawak Sampan Taxis across the river which usually costed
RM1 per person.
 |
| We are in Main Bazaar~ |
After taking some pictures, we walked
to Kuching Main Bazaar. It located opposite the Kuching Waterfront. It was the
most visited place in town as it was the number one place to shop for souvenirs
and handicrafts. Here, we bought our official-trip-shirts to be worn on the
second day. Souvenirs? Not yet because En.Khairul told us there was somewhere
much cheaper than here.
 |
| So, hello meow! |
Lastly, we checked-in to our hotel to rest and washed up
and got ready for dinner. We decided to have our dins in food court where
located at the other side of the river bank. We walked to Waterfront jetty from
our hotel and got onto the local
penambang boat. There were many choices of local food you can have there. Tired but enjoyful. That’s
all for day 1. Stay tuned for day 2 and day 3. Abracadabra!!!
Till then.
Lot of loves,
