Lady in the House

Don't see that hanging around often

Yep, Mum's Back !!!

Do You Drive?

Since i am physically separated from home most of the time, i don't get to drive a lot. So on the rare occasions of homecoming, that's the only time that i get to drive. Or in a better sense, try.to.drive.

Frankly i don't consider myself a great driver. Though driving skills tend to be directly link with words like, "macho" or "man". (i got my license in a hurry, 2 lessons and then the test!) See the chain? hunks-cars-driving skills-babes, its all connected. That's why its double the percentage of date success in college if u have a car :p And that' why i'm single i suppose!

The thing bout driving to me is, its ironic! When i drive someone, and if the driving worries them, obviously i'm losing credibility. But if it does not bother them at all, yea it means they trust you, or it may also mean you're driving's taken for granted. The speed you keep, the momentum you maintained, the smoothness of switching gears, the timing of the brakes when you're ceasing the car.

Well of course that was just a minor little thing that caught me. Overall, driving's real fun. Though i hear a lot of people complaining bout how boring and monotonous it gets after years of driving, i still think its enjoyable. Its like maths, when you're trying to figure how thinks work, its frustrating. But once you get the hang of it, its fun! XD

But the thing that 'confuse' me is, i see plenty of girls friends that've gotten through law test, on-the-road driving with mr.extra brake, passing through the final driving test (or not), and finally, obtained their P license *teng teng! But after all that, they're not gonna drive at all. Not to the fact that there's no car or of oil price, but just because, they are afraid to. (Don't get me wrong, i truly respect girls that drives manual, gosh feel like saluting you guys!)

Well, nothing's wrong with that. Its just like, signing a facebook account and never add people. Or, getting an Australian PR and settling down in Africa. haha.

Come on guys, driving ain't that bad. Once you get the hang of it, you'll see yourself swearing fluently to cars around you while smsing on the phone, checking your fresh pimple in the back mirror, changing radio channels and driving, all at the same time :D

Yep, my driving skills just went from infant level, to Paris Hilton's level :)

saw this outside a gift shop at wangsa maju, nice! XD

Not Taking Things for Granted

As it is, i'm in Kuching for a month now away from school for holidays. Well holidays might be relaxing (at first), but since its 5 weeks long, it tends to convince you that holidays can be quite boring.

Well if someone actually let me, i would really stay home everyday and "shake leg" or just rot. Thankfully, there are friends that are so enthusiastic bout going out that i won't have the chance of even letting the rotting process begin.

Thanks to the enthusiasm, i caught on it too! So, we decided to go on out to find fun in the city that we are so familiar with, that too often we take things for granted. I always thought,

"What if someday there are a bunch of foreign friends that came visiting, and i were to show them around and stuff, would i know where to?"

Good. So here we are, re-appreciating Kuching, the place i thought was incomparably boring. (alamak reappreciating lagik) What!! we shouldn't take things for granted what!

First of, we went to Civic Centre

picture not taken by me

Civic center is build for, i don't know what reason. But it is one of the points in Kuching where you can have a full view of Kuching. From the outskirts to the city and back to the mountains.

It has a restaurant and pub up there, which was recommended by Kennysia. Though its no match for the revolving restaurant on KL tower, its still humbly comfortable both in sight-viewing and price.

It might not be such a great idea to get your first impression of Kuching from up here. Because it gives an impression of tininess to Kuching. Well Kuching maybe small but the view on top unnecessarily emphasize it.

Located just opposite Civic Center is Sarawak Club. A club house where they served the best butter prawns. It was started by the British and i believe its history date back to a hundred years old.

There is where i was introduce to fish & chip, freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly

You can really see the whole Kuching from up here. I suggest people with bad direction pay a visit up there. Its like a living map.

one side of Kuching. Do not underestimate those houses, there's where huge mansions stood.

There's this place which we use to have choir performance and orchestra music. Don't really understand why the wide space for performance but it does look grant, like some greek ritual.



After sight-seeing a hundred feet above the ground, we went to a park 4minutes drive away.

They called it "Taman Budaya" which means, cultural park. But i really don't understand why :P
I think we have a handful of parks that are named similar. hehe.

I'm fascinated by street lamps, and i don't know why :O

Mum and dad use to bring us here we loafs of bread, to feed the fishes! =D
And i remembered the taekwando stamina training i use to have here =/

People normally have their morning walks or jogs round here. Athletes who are under serious training runs here as well. So by evening, it would not be too exaggerating to called the place pack.

The scenery might not be the main attraction for the joggers, but the peace and quietness certainly is a major factor.

You can literally here the dipples carressing the still water

Lamps, don't you find them wonderful? :D

still, ancient, dimmy..nah, i really don't know how to descibe

*hearing the wind brushing across the leaflets

Old trees, green grass, birds chirping, nothing much but a normal combination of nature, yet they never fail to refresh the minds of passer-bys.

haha, i know this picture seem overated, but who cares! haha

That's all for this post (was thinking of the word "episode" but it might sound too cocky). I've still got plenty of photos from a bunch of trips around hometown to share.

Hopefully, these might ignite nolstagia to fellow Kuching-ians, or convince those that are half-hearted bout visiting Kuching, and those that have already plan to come! XD

What were you doing when you're 4?

I have no donkey ideas what i was doing back then. But "somwhere over the rainbow", someone's "wishing upon a star" and writing her own childhood on youtube!

So if one day she grew to my age and wonder the same question, guess she'll just have to refer to youtube :)

Rediscovering Cameron Highlands lll

After days of procrastination, finally someone gave it in for the last post of the 'trilogy' :p Its valentines day and i guess my date would be my laptop. Better luck to all you singles out there!

Whatever flower this is, i think it suits your desktop wallpaper. JK! :D

~Bee Bee Bee~
See i promise to blog bout the birds and bees right XD

Pasar malam of 500 feet above

Bee bee more bees

I really think the strawberry hype was a little bit too much, why must Cameron be directly link with strawberries anyway? There's the T-shirts, soft toys, key chain, even curtains... I really wanted to buy something as a souveneir but too much of strawberries turns me off. Ops that dosen't sound wrong does it?

XD

Strawberry Farm

Where's the strawberries??

Here there are... :)

With the high price they charge for plucking, we resorted not to pay for it. But what is the point of going to a strawberry heaven and not tasting the juicy fruit itself?

Jeng jeng, strawberries with honey and yogurt. Simply............. sweet!

If its about photography, i'm glad i finally learn how to not use the macro function, and still get a better close up effect even. Lesson learnt! :)


Lastly, some random photos of here and there...


The place we stayed, a holiday apartment which cost us RM30 for one night. Couldn't been any better. Look how homey it is!

Photos from Nicholas, how come they look so nice though simple??

That's all for Cameron. Gosh i can't believe how many times i've typed the word ''cameron'' in these few days. Hope it does help in anyway that i would or would not know. Maybe you didn't have a good impression of Cameron (the word again) Highlands the last time you went, but trust me, its always a different experience the next time :)

i <3 Cameron Highlands
