Recently I walked onto Sibu Town and I see this shiny stainless dolphins sculpture opposite to Sibu central market.The existence of dolphins certainly brought my attention because all this year local council keep promoting swan mascot as Sibu Town landmark.Anyway ,the existence of this Swan sculpture had added more color to the swan town,SIBU.
Perhaps the symbol of Dolphins bring good luck.

This is Nasi Ayam Penyet.It's an Indonesian dish or Indonesia origin cuisine.It is very popular among our West Malaysian friends who visited Kuching and the word is 'Must Try'.
For me basically,its just a white rice with chicken but the spiciness of the sauce or sambal in malay that taste the difference.The food didn't sound delicious to me(especially at this golden age )..you know what i mean don't you ? hahaha..I love vegetable & fruits.Anyway, do drop by and try for yourself ..don't be surprise you will say ' I love the sambal (the sauce) '.By the way you also can view my daughter blog about this 'Ayam Penyet' click HERE

Annah Rais belong to the Bidayuh tribe with over 80 families living in the long house.My research is that it had a written history of 175 years and unwritten of 500 years with 8 generation of Bidayuh who lived here.
Annah Rais Village is not far from the Sarawak/Kalimatan Indonesia border as I can see our Malaysian Immigration & Custom office is located there.
A Bidayuh maiden will serve you a welcome drink with their local rice wine "TUAK".
Enter the Village & the long house.
Traditionally,the long house is one unit where many families occupy their own space in the divided only by manimal bamboo partition
The Head House.............
The Skull.........
Just don't miss the HEAD HOUSE...this is must visit house if you are at Annah Rais Longhouse .Perhaps 100 or more years ago head hunting was a common practice.They say the more head you collected meaning you are the most powerful person.
The villagers use traditional sugar cane crush to make sugar cane juice.
Annah Rais Village Hot Spring........
After the long house tour I went to the hot spring which is another 5 minutes drive from the village and followed by 3 to minutes walking through the jungle.
If you have chance to visit Sarawak , don't miss this little adventure ..just e mail me at uncleawang at G mail dot com.

May be one day you visit Sarawak & one place that you must put on your trip list is Bako National Park.
The journey to the Bako National Park starts with a half hour boat ride from Kampung Bako,picture below.
Lying 37 kilometres northeast of Kuching City is Bako, Sarawak's oldest national park. Often underestimated by travellers, this is actually one of Asia's most perfect nature parks with a wild shoreline of mangrove swamp and a hinterland of kerangas bush bustling with proboscis monkeys and birdlife.
The journey to the national park starts with a half hour boat ride from Kampung Bako, a picturesque fishing village some 45 minutes by road from Kuching, to the park's headquarters at Telok Assam. Along the way, you will see numerous wooden houses on stilts from riverside villages and fishermen tending to their fish traps. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the majestic Mount Santubong on the distant horizon.
The boatman is ready to bring you to Bako National Park.

Welcome to Sarawak & Thanks for the visit.

After strolling along the Kuching waterfront,I hope on board a sampan or river taxi (Rm0.50cent) which will take you across to Fort Margherita.Named after Margaret ,wife of Charles Brooke(the second of the three "White Rajahs" who once ruled Sarawak.This 19th century fort was strategically built on a hillock to protect the city from enemy or pirate attacks.To-day it has been converted into a Police museum exhibiting old cannon guns.

The best way to go around Sibu Town is by foot.I mean you don't have to worry about looking for parking lot for your car.
Most of the street in Sibu Town are one way streets.It is turning round and round to find your destination.They say,driving in Sibu require some skillful driving experience & technique and you have to plane ahead to get to point A to your destination B.Some say maybe your are a lucky driver if you can drive at 90 or 80KM/hr on the Sibu narrow and crappy road.
There are so many cars and motorcycle in Sibu,especially during peak hours and nobody seem to obey the street rules.When nobody obey the rules,obviously the car owner will park their car everywhere and further more most of the street in Sibu the cars are park at both side of narrow road.
So Drive Carefully.

My skywatch photo for this Friday is The Old Court building in Kuching.The old Courthouse building forms the link between Carpenter Street and India Street, and is well worth a quick stroll as you re-live the faded colonial splendour (now restored and modernised). The tourist travel centre is in the building.
This photo snap last year during my trip to PutraJaya .Many tourist as well as local people come to PutraJaya almost everyday to view the beautiful scenery .
Look at the sky that cast no gloom.

Budget travellers like me and I don't expect too much about the inflight services.Most often I get what I pay for.Low cost no frills carrier.
Th seat are pretty cramp for a tall or big size person..Believe it or not Airline charging passengers by weight..Well i suppose this is because of fuel price...the heavier the aircraft its burn more fuel.I hope our two avaition business AirAsia & Malaysia Airline did not apply this rule.Hey!!!!so here is the incentive for fat people to lose weight and I suppose if we are fat we will be charge more than maybe if we are skinny then we will get more discounted airfare.Well at least it give some incentive to stay slim.
