Kuching, Sarawak - Bako National Park

Image
On the 2nd day in Kuching, we woke up around 6+ in the morning and walked across the road to have kolok mee. Kolok mee reminds me of Hakka mee in KL but with slight difference in the ingredients. Our 1st try on Kolok Mee was satisfying. After breakfast, we started our journey to Bako National Park.  We paid RM 10 for entrance ticket and another RM 50 for a boat as Bako National Park is only reachable by boat (max 5 passengers in a boat but we couldn't find anyone to share the boat with us maybe coz we are too pretty and they are shy -.-). The boatman left us at the dock around 9am+ and we told him to be back around 2:30pm to pick us up.  After registering ourselves and got the map of the park, we had a discussion on which trail to take and we decided on Teluk Pandan Kecil trail where we will end up at the beach :D. The welcome sign (typical tourist shot...lol) Visitors on the boat Met him - the bearded pig Annoyed by us coz we were taking photos non-st

Kuching, Sarawak - Semenggoh Wildlife Centre

It was on a lovely day, when both me and YY decided to go for a short trip. It was like this minute we were still having tea and next minute we were saying "why not we go somewhere next week?". I headed back home and spent some time on Air Asia's website. Few hours later, tickets booked. Another ad hoc decision, I love it! The best part is I have a companion this time :) The initial plan was to stay at Damai beach for two days and Kuching City Centre for one day. At the end, we scrap the plan and decided to stay in the city for three days and rent a car to make traveling around easier for us. YY at train station. We took a train from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Salak Tinggi and boarded a bus to LCCT for RM 10.80. We landed in Kuching around 9+ in the morning. After getting our car from the airport, we drove to Brookes Terrace at Jalan Abell to drop our luggage. If you are looking for a budget accommodation, Brookes Terrace is a good option. It's within walkin

You Are The Sunshine of My Life

Sorry about the cheesy title. I got hooked to this song when I was stuck in the traffic jam. Cheesy lyrics but it's a beautiful one to kick start a Monday morning :) Stevie Wonder's Version Khalil Fong's Version You Are The Sunshine Of My Life That's Why I'll Always Stay Around You Are The Apple Of My Eye Forever You'll Stay In My Heart ~ 

Appreciation

Image
appreciation [əˌpriːʃɪˈeɪʃən -sɪ-] 1. thanks or gratitude 2. assessment of the true worth or value of persons or things I find it hard to write a sentimental random post but it used to be my strength to blab and crap. What has aging done to me?! #lookingforexcuses Referring to the title, this post is about appreciation (duh...) but I don't know where to start :| You will be surprised to know that this post has been in draft stage for more than 5 days. I thought of giving up but I have so much to tell! I've been through some down times but this time around I didn't have the chance to be in the emo stage for too long becauseeeeeee someone was there to pull me out of it. My family didn't question much and no pressure given on decisions that I've made maybe they are trying to ignore me...hahaha . And the crabbies, no questions asked when they sensed that I have no intention to do any story-telling. I thank them for the respect and trust. I would say in a

A Date at Loving Cafe, Sri Petaling

Image
Last week I catch up with Miss Mandi at a new restaurant in Sri Petaling - Loving Cafe. I was keen to try out their organic vegan diet. It is located next to Sweet Bean Dessert. The menu. There's a variety of food - Japanese, Asian and Western. Miss Mandi's Pineapple fried rice, looks delicious but she didn't manage to finish it. My cantonese fried mee hoon. It was okay. The following day, I went back to the same restaurant with Bin. This time around, I ordered its vege ball pasta and I got to say I love it! I love how the vege ball taste. I would say so far I enjoy the food here. The best part of it, most of their dishes don't come with artificial meat. Something that I really appreciate. I guess they use different types of mushroom and bean curd to make the vege balls. You will love the balls (sounds wrong here :O) if you love mushrooms. I would highly recommend you to visit this restaurant if you enjoy vegetarian without much artificial meat. B

Laos - Vang Vieng & Vientiane

Image
I just realized I haven't blog anything in May, I swear it's the lazy bug that's distracting me! #lameexcuse This is going to be my final post on Laos trip (yeah ~!). After spending a few days in Luang Prabang, we boarded a bus to Vang Vieng. Vang Vieng is famous for its outdoor activities, including tubing and kayaking on Nam Song River. If you are not keen on water activities, trekking and rock-climbing in the limestone mountains are good options too.  Nam Song river where all the water activities take place.  It's beautiful especially with its limestone karst landscape.  Our dinner view. We wanted to order "Happy" Pizza (Vang Vieng is famous for its "Happy" food :D) but I am too kiamsiap to pay like double for a normal pizza with special ingredient that's not good for health o_0?  timid to give it a try. After surveying and walking around the town, we signed up a package for tubing and kayaking the next day. Unfortu
