July

Havent had the time to update the blog about our trip yet. Been really busy with work since we got back from our break in Penang. This is my schedule for July:

Kch-Sibu-Kch-Miri-Labuan-KK-Kch-JB-Kch

Basically, I'll be in Kch for 2 weeks in July only. 3 days in Sibu for Fanny and Gabriel's wedding. About a week each in Labuan and JB for work!!

Debra Jill ... if u're reading this... start planning our dates!

Penang-Langkawi

Oh yes we are both in Penang!! Arrived last night at 11.15pm. Here to mess up Sue's apartment so she has to repack everything again before she returns to Kuching in July and say farewell to Penang. HAHA...

But now...we're back at the airport again. After less than 12 hours arriving. Suppose to be leaving to Langkawi but the flight got retimed due to operational problems. wtf. I think it's cause the plane hasn't arrived yet. Oh well...not sure where Alvin went. He said he went to take a walk.

Don't exactly know what to blog about. We'll be in Langkawi for the next 2 days, hoping and praying the weather there would be sunny. I plan to just lie on the beach all day as the beach is just a doorstep from the hotel. This is where we're staying: http://www.sungroup-langkawi.com/sunset/ Hope it looks the same when we arrive in there later. Will report back later.

Alvin's back from his walk. And here's a picture of us at the airport:

Do not use towel or skirt to try the pants

My aunt from Miri is in Kuching. It gave Tania and I a reason to go look see in places around Kuching like pasar malams, India street and all those side store shops that we never bother going. Even though they're packed with all races 1Malaysia and noisy, they are somewhat quite entertaining and interesting sometimes. I know it's bad karma to make fun of things . . but meh . . lemonade from lemons . . .

What does it mean? Do people actually wear towels around while taking pants and just try them on, on the spot? I've never seen anyone doing that before, but I'm sure there's a lot of them since they took the liberty to put up a sign that says not to do so.

I'm guessing they found lots of baby doo-doos on their clothings.

It's also entertaining to read those China made shirts with random words on them. Want to save on advertising costs? No probrem~ just print advertisement on the product.

"I receive a lot of comment on it. A great product". Indeed it is . . . .

PRODUCT DESIGN FAIL. Even if it is on purpose, drinking some water that looked like it came out from Kermit the Frog's ding-dong is not something very hygienic. What if you decide to put air bunga. Still fail.

For those of you who say "NO WAY, I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR AUNT IS IN KUCHING". Here's a picture.

I was reading Calvin and Hobbes in the toilet the other day. Came across a cute and amusing strip which I think totally sums up working life. Click to enlarge . . don't be lazy.

Jong's Crocodile Farm

I've finally decided to take Alvin out for a "field trip" to the outskirts of Kuching after promising him since August. So, we chose to go to visit our infamous Jong's Crocodile farm. The last time I visited the farm was in Primary 2 and that was before it moved to its current location. I didn't know it is the first and largest crocodile farm in Malaysia!!

We were just in time for feeding time!! And the crocodiles went wild. The feeders rang the bell and you could see the crocodiles from the other ponds were jealous. Haha...Above pics - a tailless crocodile and God knows what happen the other one!! And we saw different species of monkeys on the farm too. Simply amazing...


Overall our trip was not too bad besides the extremely hot sun!! If you're wondering how much it cost to get in there, it's RM10 for Sarawakian adults and RM16 for Non-Sarawakians. Children between age 3 and 12 are half price. Feeding times are at 11am and 3pm.
