Kuching Gateaway

Dear blog,

Last weekend, had a sweet family escape to Kuching Sarawak for 3 days 2 nights trip.Depart from LCCT on 19 May, reach there around 12 something. Got some little rest in the room while waiting for my sister to meet us up at the hotel. Okay, don get me wrong here. She's not working in Kuching, it is just that she took another flight from KL as the flight time was different from ours. That's it. Basically the 1st day was resting and sight seeing. As we use so much time on the plane, plus a little of jet lag? So we just had our late lunch and a little plan for the Sarawak Culture Village (SCV) plan, walk walk and call it a day off.

So, here's the pics of the very 1st day in Kuching in 2012. (even though I've been there twice in the last 2 years)

Riverside View

Mom and sis with DUN

Pork Satay which cost 60 cent per stick.

I remember my Sarawakians friends used to bring me here, and now is my turn to bring them here. 

Shall give it a try to those who going to go there, located at Carpenter Street.

p/s: non halal

tada~ the pork satay...

After the lunchie, and some souvenir hunting, we made our way back to the room, to get some rest before heading out for dinner. 

and here i am... night in Kuching

Me and mom with Cat statue

plus my sis

and me solo with the cat~

I remember i took pics with this cat before...hehe

Okay, not much pics took on first day. On the next day, well, also my mom's birthday actually. So, get ourselves up early, to made our way to the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre (Orang Utan Rehabilitation) located 40km drive from Kuching. Well, i saw once in Sepilok Wildlife in Sandakan before, but the experience here are different. It is just that the Orang Utan here are more wild, like no so close to human i shall say. Back in Sandakan, the Orang Utan there are more friendly then the one in Semenggoh here. 

Okay, here's the only pics i upload for the Orang Utan. 

I don recall his name.. There are so many of them in the jungle. I think I saw total of 12 Orang Utan. 

Me in front of the gallery

Did not spend much time here. Just try to be there during the feeding time so that can see the Orang Utan. 

Next, we move to SCV which need around 40mins drive from Semenggoh. 

Here's the Santubung view while we are on the way. 

Okay, just a friendly reminder to you all. Don't be surprise as you will see all was my pics. 

Well, Im trying to be part of the nature too...

Hehehe...

Last pics of the day...

Basically, the main focus is to escape from town, well, Kuching also the town. No pics took on the last day as we bounce back to KL in the morning. So, spending a good rest in room and the holiday end just like that. Though it is not a very long vacation, but sometimes a short and simple escape can help to clear up the minds. Away from the places we used to be, explore the unfamiliar place could just bring more freshness to us.  Leave the burdens and stress behind, and let ourselves to be the one we wanted to, do some activities and spend some times together able to bring more energy back! It doesn't mean running away, it is just take a rest, in order to pursue the longer journey of life.

Love
