GOTCHA!! Gonna share some interesting & funny discovery throughout this trip.

Take a look at this...
Obviously is a PIG isn't it?

Look what is written on the label for it
OMG!! Pig = Deer???

Here comes another wrong label...

Wondering what creature is this??

Check out the label for it

TOILET??? Otter = Toilet? Pity this little otter for the labeling.

Aren't those labels confusing?? Better update those labels to give visitors a clear description.

See the Difference

To make in FUN, I might as well SPOT the difference

The Result

Tada...spotted those differences! Hahaha...

Saw this notice at one of the Coffee Shop's toilet @ Jalan Song.

Direct Translation: Poo is forbid, but pee is allowed.

Gosh!! Found this kinda ridiculous & funny. What kinda toilet is this when a person is not allowed to poo? Hahaha...

*******

Finally...

This trip won't be a success without our "Hot & Sexy Organizer" with her "Strategic Plans"! Thanks Lovena for the accommodation, transportation & the efforts for bringing us around her territory. Will definitely make a trip to Kuching next time!

Love ya~Muaks!!!

-Day 6-

Dropped by Green Mountain Temple, Muara Tebas before heading to Bako National Park.

Green Mountain Temple

Since I don't worship the idols and not folding joss papers, I might as well wandering around the temple and snapped some pictures while observing the rest of them.

Folding joss papers

We moved on further to Bako National Park....

Arrived at the boat jetty in Kampung Bako Village

Although it was drizzling that time, we were allowed to take a boat ride to Bako National Park coz the tide was low.

The wind is strong and the boat ride was kinda thrilling as the wave comes...

Boat Riding to Bako National Park

So near to nature...Enjoying the scenery throughout the boat riding~

Walking towards the bank as it was difficult for the boat to reach the jetty due to the low tide condition

Here we are...Bako National Park

Jungle Trekking Trails. A map is given as a guide for jungle trekking.

*******

Malaysia-China Friendship Garden @ Taman Sahabat.

Felt like I'm in China coz the buildings in this garden were designed using China's ancient building style.

The statue of Cheng Ho in the middle of the garden

Standing at the stone panel that represent the state we came from

The Chinese Pavillion

Found this cutie kitty at the side of the park. We're posing like them too...

The Friendship Globe

Alright, this is totally embarrassing & crazy but who cares!! Nobody knows us in Kuching. Wakaka....Beh song pergi Jalan Song~Song Song pun boleh pergi Jalan Song.

Since me & Junne loves the name of this jalan so much, we both run over the street just to took picture with the signboard. In fact, it was Mei San that suggested us to do so.

Wondering the Chinese name of Jalan Song. Is it called 爽路(shuang lu)? Hahaha...surprisingly it is not! It's called 桑路(sang lu). I can imagine Lovena's beh tahan face with our crazy behavior!!

Tada...road sign of Jalan Song

*******
-Day 7-

Hang around at Carpenter's Street. There are indeed lotz of furniture shops along this street, I guess this is how the street get it's name. Souvenir shops and food stalls can be found along the street.

Carpenter's Street

Later at night, sent Junne & Mei Fern to the airport as they went back 1 day earlier than the rest of us.

Us, together with Lovena's friends.

-Day 5-

Stayed 1 night at Damai Beach Resort...

The tide was low....Took a stroll at the beach in the morning

Found a seashell

Wondering what is this? Is it sea cucumber? Found this all over the beach.
Looks like a pool of shit to me!



The Cat Museum

Cats in human faces

Never thought that there are so many things about CATS!

CATS in the ancient Egypt, CATS in the movie, CATS in the music, CAT law and even CAT'S cemetery!


Cat Law

Cat's Cemetery

Cat plays an important role in Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians mummified the cat and display it in the museum. Anyone who killed a cat can be put to death!

One more fact that I found very interesting:
Ancient Egyptians shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died!
Whua~Guess the Ancient Egyptians will be kinda busy shaving off their eyebrows over and over again. When their eyebrows grows back, another cat died, they would have to shave it off again...If this process continues, their descendants might not have eyebrows anymore!! Hahaha...

Definitely can find Hello Kitty in the Cat Museum

Cat in Love ~ So sweet

Black & White Shining Cats

Meow~Meow~Nothing else besides CATS

UP NEXT....BAKO NATIONAL PARK
