Was about to hop off to bed earlier tonite when i realised HEY!IVE NOT BEEN BLOGGING FOR A WHILE NOW!
so i just had to dig out my memory card and upload some pics for blogggin!!!
as most of you might have already know...it was a loooooooooooooong weekend for us here in Kuching and we took the opportunity to bring his colleague from UK for a spin around town
and i was acting like a tourist too!...and it was only then that i realised...ive NOT BEEN to many places in Kuching!!
take for example this new architecture
i didnt even know of its existence!!!! when did this big building come out??? when his colleague asked me what is it...i cant even answer him...heh :D
And indeed kuching is a nice city dont you think so?
its just that the toll of our daily routine gets so much to our head that we never stop and admire Kuching in all its beauty
We took a boat ride across the sarawak river (rm1/pax) to visit the Fort Margherita
Its a fort dating back to the rule of the British rulers which was built in 1879 to protect Kuching from surprise attacks from the enemies...it later served as a prison too *shiver*
So after the 10 min boat ride...we had to endure a 5 min walk through bushes and brambles...
and alas...
the fort...
the british and the chinese reminiscing old memories after 127 yrs 'x'
the building actually serves as a police museum now but it was closed when we went there...
pretty isolated and somewhat creepy actually...
who knows what secrets these walls kept?
and did i forget to mention that its my FIRST TIME there???hehehe
well actually there was a lot of 'first times' for me that day...it was my first time to ever visit the much famous fort, it was my first time taking a boat ride across the s'wak river,my first time to ever enter the chinese museum....gosh!
mr 'british tourist' almsot could not believe that im a Kuchingite! 'x'
oh well, at least we had the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors :)
i actually got sunburnt from all the walking we did...unbelievable!! i think ive never walked so much in kuching :P
who needs KK when you have Kuching???wahahahaha
and of course i had the opportunity to dig in together in all the various special dishes in Kuching
it was fun to be a tourist cum tour guide for a day!...perhaps i should start a tour agent business? mwehehehehe

*places red pin on Kuching as a place must visit one day, before all the dogs take over the place!*
Looks really nice, and with such a special guide, must be even nicer still! Got lormaikai in Kuching?
To me, KK refers to Kuala Kangsar, my hometown in Perak.
Heck, some people mistake Kota Kinabalu to be atop Mt Kinabalu. It should really be renamed to AA (Api Api).
You've been to the other KK. How about coming to Perak?
for a moment there I thought there were gondolas in Kuching! ;-)
I haven't been blogging much lately either. must be a "bug" in the air...
Need to find more first times when I visit. Right? Right? -.-

You capture Kuching so beautifully I wish I could go there soon. I would want to get Sarawak Laksa Paste :)
haha don't worry, a lot people don't go around much in their own hometown (guilty as charged) :P
