the Cat City

Just came back from Kuching 2 days ago..
Talking about the trip,it was really a fun-to-the-max trip!
We are lucky to have bunch of friendly and hospitable Kuching friends who willingly brought us around without any grudges.
Travelling around Kuching without a car can be taunting. It doesn't have a well-organised public transport like Singapore. And all its tourism spots are scattered all around the corners of Kuching. One tourism spot is at one far end from the others.
We visited the Kuching waterfront,cat museum,Sarawak Museum,wildlife centres,hot spring etc etc etc..Everyday was fun-packed and well-planned by our Kuching friends.
Kuching is proud to have many nice food too. 6 days in Kuching make all of us went home with a big tummy..haha. Most of the time we were hunting for food. Just imagine we can have 2 suppers every night so you can roughly know how much fats we accumulated in this 6 days..
Overall speaking the trip was a nice experience to all of us. Travelling with friends make us understand each other better. I hope there will be more trips coming.

Happy Malaysia Day!


Home is and will always be where the heart belongs!
May this day be a reminder of the journey we have traverse in order to be where we are today.
Undeniably we have marched a long way,made a great improvement,marked a great milestone, and there is a long long way to go.
Despite all the flaws in governance,Malaysia is still the most livable place in the world for me.
The lush greeneries,the blue sky,the kampung traditions,the food,the Mamak stalls,the air etc etc. Everything is so good when we are home!
We are no less Malaysian anywhere we go but we are most Malaysian when we are in Malaysia. We adapt to the context we are in,redefining who we are from the way we present ourselves..
The recent Bersih 2.0 rally that took place around the world has helped in building the strong feeling of love for the country. All of us came together regardless of skin colour,religion,race for the want of a better goverment for the love for the country!

As the national anthem 'Negaraku' goes...Negaraku,tanah tumpahnya darahku..
In full Malaysian pride,I wish my tanah air a very


Happy Malaysia Day !!!
