a day in the 'wild'....
Kubah National Park is about 45 minutes away from Kuching town.
The park offers a few different trails, one of which leads up to Gunung Serapi. Since I've already taken that trial, my friends and I decided to explore the trail that leads to the waterfall. It takes almost an hour's walk to reach the waterfall.

Matang Wildlife Centre is located off the national park and houses some endangered wildlife like the sunbears and civets.There's orang utans too!
The condition of some enclosures in the centre seemed to have deteriorated over the years. I think there were more animals during my visit to the centre two years ago. I do hope they will continue to upgrade the facilities and house more animals at the centre. :I

the 3 Fs....
...friends...food...fun/fellowship...
good friends & good food - one of the best chillax activity that can be done on a weekend...
that's what ling, chai & me did one Saturday night few weekends ago..
the question is always "Where to eat?"...and ling being the most updated (at least among the 3 of us) with the food scene in Kuching suggested 'the Living Room'...
the Living Room is located somewhat between Bla Bla Bla and the Junk.. (ah yes...they have very interesting names for restaurants in Kuching)... the Living Room concept is pretty interesting - it doesn't have a kitchen (probably that's why it is called the living room)... and the food choices can be made from the Bla Bla Bla's menu (asian cuisine) or the Junk's menu (western cuisine)...
the lobster pasta I had.. it was really good.. but kinda expensive..

gayu guru gerai nyamai....
....which means....
pansoh babi
pansoh manok (chicken cooked in bamboo)
a rather modern method to cook the pansoh
p/s: BTW, Hari Gawai is celebrated on 1-2 June of every year. This post is long overdue... hehe.. :)
LONG LIFE, HEALTH & PROSPERITY…
...a phrase often used among the native ethnic groups of Sarawak celebrating Hari Gawai.
It can be quite a tongue twister…but after practising a few times, you'll get the hang of it :P
I celebrated this year's Hari Gawai in Kuching...visited a total of 5 houses (some as far as Serian!) and feasting on the abundance of pansoh manok and babi :)

who am i...
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours..
I am yours..

in search for...
You can't live in Sarawak and not eat kolo mee... Kolo mee @ mee kolo is somewhat the national FOOD icon for the state of Sarawak.
Sarawakians, in general, are very passionate about kolo mee & sarawak laksa. So when my colleague talked about the 'greatness' of a certain kolo mee stall at the Batu Kawa Bazaar, a few of us decided to check it out. (food is probably the only reason I wake up early on a Saturday morning...:P)
batu kawa main bazaar - only 2 rows of shophouses
looks like it's a family-run-ed business
the much talked about batu kawa kolo mee
the hunt is over...
Verdict: it was worth driving all the way to the Batu Kawa bazaar! :P
Big portions, generous helpings of 'toppings' & cost only RM3.50 per bowl.
