Catherine's Kuching Trip (Episode 1)

Day 1 (28.12.07)
I was late to the airport and was surprised to see Catherine nannying two boys! Yeap, Catherine became a nanny in the plane from Miri to Kuching. How nice of her...Soon after that, it was off to breakfast! First stop, Golden Arch Laksa. Had a big bowl of laksa with big prawns but she gave them all to me...yummy!

...the two boys Catherine nannied from Miri...

...the bowl of laksa Catherine was craving for...


...the first shot of us at the start of the trip...

After breakfast, I took a drive around 3rd mile area and of course to introduce Boulevard to Cath. Then, it was an introduction to Darkie Kuek *my dog* and off to town to get Cath's hair highlighted. It was a 4 hours process and walah! So headed to Song Keng Hai Food Court for our late lunch..

...belacan beehoon, sotong kangkung, rojak, char kueh, jagung-peng...

After food was a ride to Civic Center. Finally, the bubble lift is operating. So, took the lift and went to the highest spot in Kuching to have a look at the entire Kuching city area. With a record-able MP3 player, Cath recorded all the information I said throughout...sigh~~ *a very digital tourist I have here*

...from left; the 'suaku' face & the going to be 'bazhang' face...

...wonder how we took this photo without a tripod?...

...the tiger and hornbill from 'entah apa year punya sukma'...

And it was dinner again. It was off to Hui Sing Garden Food Court where we had Pork Satay, Fried Noodle with clams and a glass of white lady. *forgotten to take any pictures because the food was great* wahahahaha... After dinner, we went for National Treasure 2 with Angeline, Natasha and my brother, Aaron. Great movie though...I mean...minus the 'duck' scene in it!


Day 2 (29.12.07)
Got up, picked Natasha up and breakfast. We had fried noodles with fried fish fillet in Sekama and headed up to Sematan (1 1/2 hour drive)...something to be proud off... (got full permission to drive there from my parents!) *evil smile* We drove to the Sematan NS Camp where Cath's sister was posted to and drove to a beach in Sematan and back to Lundu town and to Pandan Beach and to Siar Beach and *taking a deep breath* and after traveling almost everywhere in Lundu and Sematan, I drove my car into a big 'batu' which left a scratch underneath the side skirt...

...the Sematan National Service camp...

...Natasha, Catherine and I at Sematan Esplanade...

...somewhere in Sematan Beach...


...some weird photos for the fun of it...

...syok sendiri in Pandan Beach...

We headed back to town and had our late lunch at Chicking Eating House at 3.00pm! It was a tiring day but, it's not everyday that we can drive all the way there. Drove Natasha home after food and went out again to Saberkas for look-see and had our supper at Open Air Market.

...don't have to go Singapore for the chicken rice...

...our 16 pieces of seow bee in Open Air...

My goal at the end of this trip is to get Catherine to turn 'bazhang' and with the amount of food intake every meal, every day, I'm so reaching that goal...*evil laughter*
