JOM JALAN JALAN @ Kuching.

The moon after midnight. Image shot during sunrise at 06:00 am.Midnight ,Kuching has entertainment and nightlife to suit most taste.

Another Sarawak landmark to be completed before 2008 Merdeka Day.
Historic Building and the Brook Legacy.The Square Tower on the waterfront was built in 1879 as a fortress,fortunately never fired a shot .

Jom Makan "Bahasa Malaysia for "let's eat"
Must try local BBQ widely sold along road side of the Malay Kampong.

Jalan Jalan @ Kuching and saw this home base business .Kek Lapis Sarawak(Sarawak Layer Cake).The one Sarawakian delicacy besides ikan terubok,bubur pedas and laksa Sarawak that has truly put Sarawak on the nation's culinary is the kek lapis Sarawak.Kek lapis Saawak is a must "Buah Tangan" for visitors to bring back home.Anyone out there can suggest for "KEK LAPIS MALAYSIA".

On my Jalan Jalan I take this opportunity to mengabas(local for "pay a visit")my friend at Kampong Penglima Seman I saw this post along the road side "Abas Homestay".Abas home stay is closest to Kuching City center.The name Abas is derived from the word "Mengabas"in a local dialect which,loosely translated mean "pay a visit"
Home Stay:A great way to sample traditional life.

In Kuching,the word "home stay"hardly registers with most of the local-even for the point of tourists getting a blank starer from them for a simple qury like "Sir,can you direct me to the nearest homestay?"The concept is quite common in West Malaysia but here,it has not really caught due to lack of promotion.

Jom Jalan Jalan @Kuching."Bahasa Malaysia for "let's stroll around in Kuching).View of Kuching City from Malay village across river.
Jom Makan "Bahasa Malaysia for let's eat" this is one of the popular Malay restaurant around Kuching.Main menu Sarawak Specialities.
Must try Sarawak specialities at this restaurants.Come here only at 5pm till midnight...No lunch serve. Come to Kuching Sarawak for a truly unforgettable experience.

1st Day of Muharam Holiday @The Spring

Bird eyes view of Kuching City from the civic centre tower.Let me refresh your mind again about my home town Kuching.Kuching is the capital of Sarawak,Malaysia largest state.The residents of Kuching is(pop.580,000 approx).Kuching has unusual name-the word mean "CAT"in Malay.There are a number of stories as to how this name about,but it is unlikely that it has anything to do with cats.Hey....sorry no cat woman ok.......The two more likely explanations are that it derives from the Chinese word"KOCHIN",meaning "HARBOUR",or that it is named after the MATA KUCHING or"CAT EYE"fruits.a close relative of the lychee that grow widely here.

In view of fine weather why not try to take picture of Kuching City from this Civic Centre Tower.

Take 1,2,&3 ACTION!!!!!!!! CUT.......I thought this guy is Saiful of Malaysian Idol.

This is not the demonstration....they are the audience of the lagu (song) nyasid.

Weather in Kuching to-day is fine & humid so before I procced with my free coverage about the spring shopping mall I decided to stop by Sarawak state Mosque to see what is the activity organised by the Jawatan Kuasa Masjid & JAKIM.

So there you are....The Spring.

The Spring shopping mall

So before enter the spring i oder kopi O at starbuck..hey friend where got class if oder kopiO try Cappucino lah.......this is the second starbuck outlet after Kuching Int.Airport.I guess WIFI not ready yet as no one surfing .

No rush....drive slowly
