East coast visit @ Sarawak. 8th to 12th december./ Wye Lyng wedding


Pichas are random....haha.
So u may need to read to know the flow.
1stly i went to Kuching after mc for 2 days.
Things i did for love. I tried my level best to recover so that i could board the flight.

We took off from joanne w's house. I was high on medication but more excited than blur.
The flight delayed abit but aside from there, everything else was fine. Reached kuching at 4pm and fetched by lek lek n her new mazda.
Seriously ah lek, among all my fwens, u drive the safest. Good drive.  


We checked into Pullman, a 5 stars hotel but wasnt expensive for a 4 nights. The view from room was great facing the city n river. 5 star quality n highly recomended. The x mas decoration was good too.

Immediately we went out to search for food.
Ah lek said we should try iban traditional food. The restaurant was named Lepau.
Sarawakian is famous for their own fermanted alcohol i forgot the name, bamboo cooked chicken/other meat, midin (sayur paku) and durian cook prawn... well... ewww

Bad sore throat and some sambal belacan, the effect was quite immediate. I lost my voice that night itself.


Lek then brought us for a waffle date as 2nd round. 
A night rounding kuching. Super cool. 
Oh that night itself, upper lip was swollen. Ah lek said it was due to allergy. Hmmp. How wonderful.


2nd day basically was a lazy day. We tried the halal dim sum buffet located just at hotel ground floor. Food was so so but it was a good try. Another evidence that im a total food waster in buffet dining.
Then we head back to room, nap n tried the hotel jacuzzi and sauna room services. 

1st try ever.

Then back hotel relax again. Night time ah lek brought us to premium 101 food court. Huge space for many stalls to choose from. 
Food wise. I didnt manage to try sarawak laksa cuz it was too spicy for a sore throat. Kolo mee. Omg. I finally understand y it never get out of state. Hahaha... but oh.. pork satay is good. 

Then we went for a movie. Sing. got us laughing so loud
 Ofcuz im the only one who couldnt laugh out loud.
Sad... great movie for relaxation.



3rd day ah lek said we were too relax already. As planned, we went to gua pari and gua angin. Being on medication n blur state, it was pretty endangering. Very eyes opening experience. I think i would do it again with other cave. With better health.

After both cave, we dropped by to tasik biru. Chilly cool place to be. But spoiled by rain. Sigh...
We went to kuching town right after.


The next day i was suppose to go bako beach which include hiking n beaching. But my condition got weaker by day and jo not so incline to hike. Thus we chose damai beach n cultural village instead. There we see Santubong mountain. Huge and full of greenary. 


We tasted the best soft n crunchy waffle in kuching.
It was so good we ordered another set. 
Overall, the trip was a great one. New place, same old trio. It is like a revenge to all the missed wednesday date we used to have before ah lek was assigned to Sarawak. Kuching itself is a developing area, too many malls and new buildings against the population.




I only manage to check out one cat statue. 
My energy level was so low, for the past 5 days there i only had 50% strength to carry on the day.
For the gals, i must hold on. But i think im more of a burden to them. I really wish i could recover on time but it seems the weather aint so kind as well. Relapsed every day due to rain n cold hotel room.



Moral of the story is dont travel during sick. N do not plan back to back trip with not enough buffer day to cool down.



I went back home with total lost of voice. Super headache and fever. I cant even see doctor cuz it was public holiday. Dammit. 


Thanks Dr Yap for being a superb fine tour guide and recommending good stuff to us. Let me pamper you when u back seremban okie?

Jo and i had a great time.
Next trip sabah perhaps?

*

The trip got me thinking.
Do your presence matter?
Do my presense matter?
I begin to doubt mine. I havent matter much.

Its okay. I wont let denial happen for the 3rd time.

***
