kuching trip day 4

Let me finish telling my story before my real teaching practice starts. ^^

Upon reaching Electra House, we went to India Street & Carpenter Street & dont-know-what Street to… err… shop? These places in Kuching are like KL’s Petaling Street and Malacca’s Jonker Walk. So you can expect pickpockets here… :P

DSC03138 My mom came to pick us up. On the way she asked me to pick up some siew-pau and curry puffs that she’s ordered from a famous siew-pau shop nearby. They’re still steaming hot! *I’m hungry atm!* So we got to fill our tummies a bit while waiting for her.

In the afternoon Jong and I busied ourselves with the car rental and everything and the poor souls had to wait for us until evening.

Finally we brought them to visit the Sarawak museum when it was half an hour to the closing time. == We managed to visit one block. My first time there too! I can’t believe it as well. Hahaha…

Then to the monument. Took lotsa silly pics that you might have seen in FB dy…

I havent been here since primary school time I think.

At night we had dinner at Taman Kereta! Yay seafood I love!! I actually turned like 3 rounds trying to find the place! My dad would have scolded me, “See? Told you to pay attention to the roads! Only know how to sit in cars!” :P

I’ll just show you the highlights of our dinner k… :)

‘O-jian’: fried egg and flour with clam. But this is like the real thin and crispy and keropok-like type.

Portuguese-style ikan bakar. Ray-fish yumm! We saw this so often at SS2 and kept saying we wanted to eat. Ate here in the end. Haha…

Bidin. First try for the west Malaysians. ^^b

After dinner we strolled along Riverside & took pictures but they’re all kinda too dark. Astana looked real majestic at night…!

Kevin came and joined us halfway and they saw Jong’s pick-her-up-from-hospital-after-giving-birth-to-Tigger husband for the very 1st time! Muahahahaha…

Then he brought us to the 175 cafe for drinks and fish spa treatment! ^^ My first time there too! I think I’m a tourist like the rest lah… :)

The old couple.

Caryn just commented on how long BeeGuat’s legs are. Quite true also ya…

DSC03177

Guess which were whose feets? ^^

DSC03183

Stealing a sip from Peter’s beer. :PP

And that was basically it for Day 4!

Oh yea, on our way back, the rented car broke down in the middle of the road! B was driving it and the two drivers in front were me and Kevin. So when the lights turned green we just sped forward assuming they’re following behind. Only to find them missing after almost 1km away! o.O Poor thing they had to pushed the car to the side of the road. At 1st we thought it was out of gas so Kevin bought petrol from the station and drove back to help them while we waited there. Ended up it was some wire problems. Hmmm… anyway, don’t ever rent cars from that company. We’ve got enough bad experience from them this holiday! The cars were faulty and we didn’t get the car we wanted. The workers even tried to swindle 40 bucks out of us without the boss knowing it. I don’t know the name of the shop but it’s in a pink building at Satok at the bridge heading towards Matang. >.<

Gotta start doing some work for practical now. Ciao!
