Long lost entries of Sarawak!

Long lost entries of Sarawak!

We all pergi sana from 31/7-3/8 for 4d 3n and it was 7 families altogether. 5 families from LCCT and another 2 from Penang. Betoi2 rombongan Cik Kiah!
Bravo to Ila and Nizam for their excellent job organizing the trip with the help of Felda Sarawak staff (be it the tourist guide cum driver – siapkan van and Hilux to carry our belongings).

First Day

Sampai Kuching International Airport approximately 9.00 am and we waited for everybody to get ready. We stayed at Harbour View Hotel, Kuching just opposite Kuching Water Front and Main Street Bazaar. On the way to the hotel, we stopped by at the Pottery Factory for sightseeing. Tengok2 je dulu. And all the kiddos like screaming, throwing their tantrum sebab kepenatan. So kami lepak2 je kat hotel on the first day. Dah petang2 sikit pi jalan2 sekitar Water Front naik perahu penambang pergi seberang sungai ke Petra Jaya. Motif nak pi tengok kilang buat kek lapis. Nih semua info dapat from blog Mya. Memang meriah lah kedai kek Lapis Dayang Salhah tu. Memacam jenis, pattern, style kek ada. Dah macam pi beraya sebab semua kek tuh diletak atas meja untuk dirasa. So dinner malam tu pun kat area situ jugak.

Second Day

Plan hari nih pergi Santubong. To be exact pergi Sarawak Cultural Village. It was fun. Tempat nih ala2 Mini Malaysia kat Melaka where u can find all the houses of different races eg: rumah Iban, Penan, Bidayuh, Longhouse, etc. Entrance fees was RM60 per pax but since kata kami nih rombongan Felda dapat le masuk dengan RM25 seorang. Penat jugak seharian duk dalam area Cultural Village tuh. Siap ada Cultural Show. Dapatler rest kaki setelah memusing sakan dalam Cultural Village. Cultural show tu dalam sejam. Macam2 tarian ada. Best jugak. Dari pagi sampai nak dekat pukul 3 kat sana. Balik pi Sarawak Museum pulak. Jaraknya only a distance away from Merdeka Palace Hotel. Dah penat di muzium balik hotel untuk mandi-manda and siap2 nak berjalan sekitar main street bazaar kat water front. Rupanya today start Sarawak Regatta Fair. Every year around this time memang ada festival ni. Patutlah banyak sangat perahu panjang duk praktis kat sungai tuh. Memang happeninglah. As usual naik perahu pi seberang ke Petra Jaya lagi untuk makan malam.

Third Day

Today pagi-pagi lagi dah siap2 shoot pergi Serikin border of Kalimantan. Tempatnya quite far dengan 2 van complete with walkie talkie. Untuk keselamatan. Maunya tidak. Nama pun dekat dengan sempadan. Kang tak pasal2 kena rompak ke kena culik ke kan! Ok… motif utama nak beli tikar Sarawak. Mostly barang2nya barang Indonesia. Be careful of your belongings and also your kids. I heard one lady lost her wallet while the other family lost their kid. Indon bawa lari masuk Kalimantan and demanded Rm1000 to release the kid. Barang2 jati, kain sembahyang, baju blaus, kain pasang memang murah. Dah sopping sakan kat Serikin balik singgah pulak kat Kilang pasu. Borong pulak pasu Sarawak. Malamnya pi night market kat Satok beli ikan terubuk masin, pasar malam minggu kat Satok and dinner kat sana.

Fourth Day

Today nothing much. It was light and easy. Cross the river again to purchase kek lapis sempat jumpa JFK, former MC of Mentor 1st season/Dj kat Kedai kek lapis tu. Balik jalan2 sekitar water front/ main street bazaar, take our lunch and ready to the airport.

That was our short trip to Sarawak. Blogger went kaput again. i try to insert pictures but slow sangat. Nanti besok-besoklah!
