Kuching Day 2

It was pretty amazing to know how the three of us managed to keep the friendship going till today. We don't talk everyday though we try to. We don't see each other often for sure and we don't really call each other as well. A year of inactive interaction did not makes thing too awkward for us. We still make fun of each other like we used to. More importantly, we still care and love.

 At Ainun's place for home made Sarawakian laksa!

 I remembered I was sick that day and I looked at the fried rice and sighed. Mich did the face to cheer me up <3 <3

It was great then

So we decided to wake up early to grab the best Sarawakian laksa. Was a little hard to stay awake until we saw this...

The hot chick and her infra red device for sinus. 

So I had my first Sarawakian laksa that morning with some interesting aunt insisting that we take a packet of local snack. We didn't take it though. 

 Sarawakian popiah with super a lot of nuts

 Damn sweet three layer tea

Choon Hui Sarawakian Laksa

There we met Cletus, Mich's friend. With two Kuching lang on board, we went on a mini city tour.

Kim and Clay

We walked to the Hills thinking if we want to go over to Rain Fest. After some thinking, we went back to the city tour instead. 

1st Kucing

and some random shots along the way...

 I have a thing for old buildings

and old bikes

2nd Kucing

Damn! I'm older than this cat :(

The highlight of the trip was when we were taking pictures with the giant white cat. Some dudes on the lorry did the "phee weet" thing while we were posting for the pictures. Mich was very quick to respond to it. She yelled, "Apa sal lu?!" The guys went quiet. I think they were like "Si amoi ni...."

I don't know how far we walked but it was oh-so-tourisy. Pretty like the feeling of that. It gives me time to think. Surprisingly.

We were sweating and the weather was madness. As per suggested by Mr. Lee, we went on walking to the Hokkien park. And we did some crazy things again.

That was fun. I wanna do it again!

Aiks, I forgot to mention that there's some cooling factor in this Hokkien park. The Megatron! I mean Megahorn. Am I right with the name? :S

 megahorn?

 Clay saw someone having this and he wanted one too. Just some milo powder on a pile of sweetened crushed ice

It was about lunch time and we were not exactly hungry. But... we MUST eat. It's a Malaysian thing. You eat as you go.

 belachan mihun

 prawn paste with kangkung and cuttlefish

tomatoe mee

We went back home after that. To bath and rest for the night. 

On the way out, Mich pointed that I got this sun burn on my shoulder.

quite the obvious right. How can I not notice it...

Kim Kim had a crisis with work. I guessed that was pretty much the time when we see friends caring for each other. We followed her to the office. Once she has settled the issue, she gave us this face. Instantly, we know all is well.

We boarded the bus to Rain Fest and the first thing we did was to camwhore.

 Me: Why are you guys making faces?!

Me: I also want

And I dozed off  zZzzzzzZZzzzzz.......................until we were about to reach Damai.

 camwhoring is always the first thing we did. I guess it's understandable. We don't get to do this often

 Some dude practising by the beach

 the winner of talent search. They were awesome!

first tuak!

 nachos!

Mich was really happy with her turtle

 Kim Kim getting inked

 No idea what expression that was..

I have a naked mermaid on my leg!

It was really tiring that day. Zee Avi threw the drum stick at me while I was back facing the stage. That was really unexpected. Oh well...

Second day. Exhausted and contented.

Kuching Day 1

In life, you may have 1,000 friends or for the extroverted ones, 100k. Look into your Facebook, probably less than 1% of those are friends whom you can actually pour your heart to. You turn to them whenever you need a shoulder to cry on. You tell them everything repeatedly and they will not be annoyed. You know your concerns and secrets are in safe hands and you would do the same for them. Unconditionally.

A project put us together. We cursed. We cried. We laughed. We smoked. By the end of day, we just had to wave goodbye.

We continue to hang out after we finished the project together and of course, we did more things than just hanging out...

Yeah, we did crazy things together and we talked about it from time to time till today. We laughed about them and sometimes, we cried about them.

The last time we met before the Kuching trip, of course, was at the convocation last year in April. We hugged each other so tight that all the memories just flew back in seconds. 

I admit that I took it for granted. That all of us are still in the same country and technology can bind us together. It was not long until Mich broke the news about her going to UK for further study. It hit me quite bad though I never want to recognize that feeling. Hence the decision to meet in Kuching.

We were counting down the days and it was super long. When it actually gets nearer, we started being chatty. We knew very well it would be a crazy trip again.

Was super excited that I took picture of the boarding pass :P

It's not the first time I fly solo but this time around, I felt super lonely! And that girl beside me, she can really sleep wei! She got her head swinging left and right like sibeh song. So yeah, double the loneliness for not being able to sleep.

Kim was not here when I touched down so I went to the loo. As I cam down from the escalator, I saw two awfully familiar persons back facing me. My lahlings! We hugged each other so tight! That felt REALLY good!

First thing we did, obviously, was to eat. The awesome kolo mee!

 Kim's retro wheels

this idiot was like walking behind me. When I tried to take a picture, he went in front of me and turn his head around. pfft 

Lahling! 

Pork satay. Different and better from those in Malacca. Confirmed! 

Kolo Mee pang ang 

loh xu fan. Kolo Mee style

Guess what, we just knew Mich doesn't eat pork. Like after so many dongkie years only we got to know it. Well, never too late I guess.

After makan, we walked around that area (damn, what is the name of that place?) I found this wheel in this antique shop. Like those which people used to transport stuffs. It has over 50 years of history. I MUST get it the next time I get back. Forgot to take picture also :S

We went to Kim's place after that. The parents are so sweet and they have this awesome house where they take care of every single small details. I never like to display delicate items at home since they collect dust fast. In Kim's home, I found no dust and what's more, there are so many of those displays! I'm amazed. Drop dead. Kim's mother also made curtains and cushion covers in flower prints! I think I was busy admiring the details that I didn't remember to take pictures. Next round. Next round.

Kim's father brought us for dinner and the again, the food was awesome! For the very first time in my life, I saw o-chien presented in a spaceship look. 

Can you see the number of oyster on it? Super nais lo I tell you!

We had other things as well but more or less what we can get here. We has umbra juice and that got Mich visiting the toilet multiple times. Poor thing...

this is the culprit. I think it's double dose of what we usually have. Super kao!

You know some shops never die? Sunny Hill is one of those!

Kim's signature pose :P

Kim Kim's father! I think Kim's parents used to paktor here. Who wouldn't? I definitely will!

Even battling with stomachache, Mich still has room for ice cream :D

We tried to camwhore after the ice cream treat....

Mich: Face so big and Kim Kim is hiding! Retake!

 Me: My eyes too sepet. Cannot! Retake!

 As we did this, people around started to look at us. What to do, it's 12am in the morning already.

 A good one finally. Still, Mich's hair blocking Kim's left eye.

 Instgarmmed it then!

That's the first day :) And we already sleeping late. Lol. More updates soon.
