Life, Travel, GRACE

Last month we went to Kuching for a short trip. The first time on the list was to savour the local kolo mee. Well, not all servings are good though. We also tried the fusion food at The Granary. Needless to say, the meal served was great. But the price is at the high side. After lunch, we wanted to go to the museum. Unfortunately, it was closed for the day. So we ended up at the Borneo Cultures Museum, which we did not manage to cover all the floors. It's a fine museum which was opened in recent months.  The following day, we went for a short excursion on the outskirts of Kuching. We first stopped at the Fairy Cave (the other cave was closed for maintenance).  Excursion inside the cave was pretty easy for beginners. After exploring the cave, we had lunch at the nearby town, Bau. Prior to that, we stopped over at the Blue Lake, which is just beside the town. On the way back to Kuching, we made a stop over at the Paku Rock Maze Garden and old town of Siniawan. The rock garden wa...

This year Chinese New Year, we went back to Sibu, Sarawak. We re-visited the town's pagoda temple at night. Very pleasant view with good atmosphere. After all, it's lunar new year. You can expect a lot of lanterns.   Photos were taken with the old faithful iPhone 6s.

This year Chinese New Year we went back to Sibu. Our teacher friend took us to explore some places in the area which we seldom go. For the first time, I went to the pagoda temple in the town center. Then we went across the river side to check out the local kampong . There's one spot in that village which has become the favourite place for the local photographers. On a bright afternoon, one can easily get a nice panoramic photo from it. Of course we also had the favourite Sarawak Laksa . Sarawak Laksa Photos taken with iPhone 5s

Earlier last month we went back to Sibu. At the same time also had the opportunity to visit Bintulu. Went to the beach. Though is not the best of its kind, it's considered nice. Beach visit was worthwhile. However, the drive from Sibu to Bintulu was somewhat unpleasant. Bad road condition but not as bad as those logging trails. Family photo

Wrapped live chicken, olives and sago worms are sold here. Fresh from the farms.

There's a new renovated church in Sibu - Masland Methodist Church. One of the impressive points found in this church - pipe organ. You don't need to go to Petronas Philharmonic Hall to see a pipe organ. This church has it. Another impressive point is the backdrop deco - a cross with a fish motif. I guess the fish motif means be a fisherman. For details, read here and here .
