Because there is no direct flight from Tawau to Kuching and vice versa, we have to transit through Kota Kinabalu. And because something with Airasia and MAS do not want to share the same airport anymore, Airasia moved to this KK Terminal 2. It is still under renovation so it’s quite a mess there.

My uncle’s niece picked us up and she brought us to Kuching Waterfront. Pics are blur because I scanned them. I dont have a digital camera.


Everywhere also cats. Purposely one. Just because its Kuching.


Can tell that my mummy damn syok when she saw so many cheap necklaces.

Because we were super lucky, it was or still is the Kuching Festival! Uncle told me that they have it annually from around end of July till middle of August. First, we went to Waterfront again and waited at the opposite the Tuah Pek Kong temple to watch the Kuching Festival parade. It was very interesting and basically most of the participants dressed or make up like cats. There was this bodyfitness association (something along the lines) where men with glowing skin half naked standing behind the Fords showing their muscles. Then, there was this group of performers where they blew up fire from a long stick they each holding. It was fascinating until one of them kind of overdid it and almost choked himself. My mom found it so funny and laughed so loud that we caught some limelight there.



Then, we went to this Kuching Festival Fair held at their Dewan Masyarakat. It was huge and something like a smaller version of SS2 pasar malam. The only difference is this is all about food! So damn a lot of people. It was a Saturday therefore we couldn’t find seats so we just walked around, bought and ate our food along the way. It was so fun! There were doriyakis - doraemon’s favourite food, Uncle Bob’s chicken fillet, Taiwanese sausages and so many many many! But I will never forget the Ham Jin Beng I bought. It was so crispy and not ham(saulty) at all. It was sweet and there’s this red bean smell but with no red beans on it! Yummy yummy!

Ahhhhh… the ham jin bengs…

Basically, we left with fulled stomachs and went home happily and satisfied.

End of first day.
