-Day 4-
Heading to Sarawak Cultural Village & Damai Beach Resort....
Watched Twilight b4? Does this looks like Edward Cullen's house?
Pay a visit to Sarawak Cultural Village(SCV). You'll get to experience Sarawak in half a day at the living museum with a difference.
Welcome to SCV! Junne & Mei San posed excitedly while the rest gets the ticket.
Ticket to SCV. The entrance fee for adult is RM60 & child is RM30. Simply display your student card to get the privilege of RM15 for the entrance fee.
There are 7 unique traditional houses in the cultural village. It was an eye-opener to visit these unique houses as you get to experience the culture of the ethnic groups on Sarawak. A plank walk map is given as a guide for the visitation.
Traditional House #1: Chinese Farm House
The Chinese Farm House host was very friendly. She explained the life style of the people, the bird's nest process and even showed us the usage of the traditional stuff to us. Some of those traditional stuff weren't special to us as we can also found them in our house as well!
The traditional rice grinder & the bird's nest process.
Traditional House #2: Malay Town House
"Raja Sehari". From left, "Raja Sehari" yang bersopan-santun to the "Raja Sehari" yang langsung tidak bersopan-santun. 
Traditional House #3: Melanau Tall House
Melanau Tall Swing.
Try the Melanau Bamboo Dance. Follow the rhythm created by the bamboo sticks and step in between it. Gonna be quick in your movement or else your leg will be clamped by those bamboo sticks. I'd admit that I'm kinda clumsy in this dance!
Melanau Bamboo Dance
Traditional House #4: Orang Ulu Longhouse
Take a look at the traditional instruments and handicraft. Have fun playing with the xylophone as it produces wonderful melody.
Traditional instruments & handicraft
Traditional House #5: Penan Hut
The blowpipe shooting is available in the Penan Hut. However, there wasn't any host while we arrived there. Didn't get to watch the blowpipe shooting as well as the blowpipe making by the Penan warriors.
Processing Sago
Cultural Show @ Dewan Lagenda
The Iban Warrior looks kinda fierce but he was actually quite humorous. The blowpipe shooting performance was great!
Before the show ended, the audience were invited to join the performer to dance on stage as well.
Danced on stage
We continued to visit the Iban Longhouse after the Cultural Show.
Traditional House #6: Iban Longhouse
Traditional House #7: Bidayuh Longhouse
The cone shape of the Bidayuh longhouse was unique. Get to experience winnowing rice, pounding paddy and see some bamboo carve.
Pounding paddy & Bamboo carve.
The Bamboo Bridge
It took us some time to cross this bridge as there were quite a number of people crossing from the other side.
While crossing the bridge, Lovena accidentally dropped one of her slipper! OMG!!
Thank goodness we've Mei Fern which is tiny & brave enough to willingly go down and picked up the slipper for her.
Dropped by at the souvenir shop before leaving SCV. All of us enjoyed visiting those traditional houses & watching the cultural show, worth coming anyway!

Damai Beach Resort. It was only a few minutes drive from SCV.
Went swimming at the swimming pool uphill.
Lying on the bench, surrounded by the beautiful creation of God~
Get ourselves hit by the wave.
Playing with sand at the seaside.
The Forbidden KDSE had once visited this beach. Quickly snapped a picture b4 these words were vanished by the wave again..

-Day 3-
A visit to Jong's Crocodile Farm...
Must not miss the feeding time of the Crocodile. This is the most interesting part of all. The staff were reeling away the food (chicken, I think) during the feeding session.
Crocodile Feeding Time.
Ever wonder why crocodile has it's mouth shape like that?? Maybe it kisses too much. Hahaha..
Crocodile with 'senget' mouth.
Pitcher Plant & Wild Orchid Garden.
It's time to explore pitcher plants as we rarely found it at Peninsular Malaysia.
Nice Pitcher Plant.
Wild Orchids
However, it's such a pity that those pitcher plants & wild orchids were not well-preserved in this garden. Most of the plants weren't fresh and looks almost half-dead.
Huge but Half dried-up Pitcher Plant.
Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.
This Wildlife Centre is a place to preserve Orang Utans. There were altogether 24 Orang Utans in this centre. They weren't caged and were allow to move around freely. It was kinda dangerous as the Orang Utans might attack you!
Orang Utans coming to the feeding trail from the deep jungle.
The best visiting time is of course at the feeding hour. In fact, there was nothing much besides that time. We were allow to enter the feeding trail during the feeding hour. All of us have to remain silent while entering the feeding trail so that we won't scare off those Orang Utans. This is when those Orang Utans were released from the deep jungles.
Look!! A baby Orang Utan swinging freely on the tree. It was so cute when it make a 360 degree turn.

Crocodile Feeding Time.Observe the reaction of those crocodiles patiently. The crocodile have to aim the food and emerge from the water in order to get it. Frankly, I quite pity those crocodile as they need to hop several times to grab the food. Kinda tiring and need lotz of energy isn't it?!

Have you ever heard that each & every citizens in Kuching rear an Orang Utan in their home? This Orang Utan represents the status of that particular family. The wealthier the family, the bigger the Orang Utan! Don't believe me?? Make a trip to Kuching to found out whether it is true...

Just came back from Kuching Trip wif my coursemates. It was overall a FUN & ENJOYABLE trip. Visited lotz of places and tried lotz of food. Although the weather condition wasn't that perfect, but it didn't affect our trip much. Gonna divide my Kuching Trip into several posts as there are tOOoo many things & pictures to share throughout the week.
Booked the air ticket to Kuching during the 0 fare promotion in February. The air ticket to and forth to JB and Kuching cost only RM63, which is very cheap! No wonder AirAsia came out with the slogan - Now Everyone Can Fly. Hahaha...
I was informed that my flight time was changed 1 week b4 my trip to Kuching. Both the to and forth flight time was delayed! This certainly brings inconvenience to me.
-Day 1-
Met a few Muarian that is currently pursuing their degree at UTM. Hui Min & Jing Ying (QS Students) and also Sock Fei & Yi Chyi (Marketing Students) at Senai Airport. What a coincidence, they were in the same flight as me to Kuching. Didn't know that Muarian like to visit Kuching that much. Hehe..

At Senai International Airport, b4 heading to Kuching.
It wasn't very comfortable to sit in the plane coz the space was kinda narrow. The seats in an express bus is much more comfortable.
View from the plane.
This visiting pass is required for those from Penisular Malaysia. This pass needs to be kept and must be shown at the Immigration Counter in order to leave Sawarak. I was wondering, aren't we from the same country? Why do we need a pass to travel within the same country?
Visiting pass to Sarawak. Permitted to enter & remain in Sarawak for 90 days from the date shown above.
Arrived at Kuching around 8pm. Lovena's parents and aunt came and pick us up at the airport. Had dinner together at 101 Food Court. Later on, Lovena brought us around to see some big houses before going back to her house. That was all for the first day.
***********
-Day 2-
Visited Lovena's School after breakfast.
St. Joseph's School Kuching.
St. Joseph's Catheral, Kuching. A Church right opposite St. Joseph School.
The Civic Centre (The "Big Umbrella")
Can see the entire Kuching Town from the top of the Civic Centre.
Visited some of the museums including The Natural History Museum, Art Museum, The Sawarak Museum. A trip to the museum will give you an idea on the culture & heritage of Sarawak.
The Natural History Museum, Art Museum, The Sawarak Museum.Later at night...
Cat Hunt at Town Area
Walked all the way to the waterfront after taking pictures with the Cat Statues. Planned to play bowling at first, but ended up at The Waterfront. Thanks to our organizer with her 'strategic' plan.
Us with the hornbill water fountain behind.
The story of The Mousedeer & The Crocodile carved on the wall. Nice carving. Found it toward the end of the Waterfront. TO BE CONTINUED....
