This is very late post!
Hope its still valid just for the memory keeping sake.
hehe.. before it fade away.
This year
aidilfitri, we flew back to my wife home town in
semariang jaya,
Kuching.
Of course we took the cheapo airline service, the "virgin/
airasia" (note the sign,same it is?).
We flew there on 27 September 2008 and stay there for two weeks,lucky for me to have the permission for the leave.
hehe...
As for some info,
raya in
sarawak is a quite celebration, every house switch-on the colorful light around their houses, during the
nite of course, some during the day,if they forgot to switch it off...
wtf.
As for the
raya vi sting, it's a hectic, we went to every aunties/uncles houses..(my mother in laws have 11 bro n sis) imagine the tiredness.
hehe... wearing all the
baju melayu as for me n
baju kurung for my wife n
daugther.Oh.. before I forgot, we when there using three cars, as all my sis n bro in laws were came back for
raya. The road in front of my in laws,was pack and jammed, it is the only road towards
suntubong(known for lovely mountain and beach.
For the second day we had our open house. All my bro-in-law multi-races, Win, came.. it's a true Malaysian celebration.hehe...thank God,all went well.
I had to wear my
baju melayu nite n day, for a week, it's a custom there, every body wearing it. It's colorful
scenenary, peoples riding their bike here n there to go for the
raya visiting.
During the
nite , all the kids,teenager n some young at heart adult burned the loud sound fireworks, and it's like a competition.damn, it's hard to have a good
nite sleep, but still sleeping due to the tiring day.hehe...As my daughter said"
firewoks!" whenever she heard the "Bang " sound.
As for me , I had experienced a worst diarrhea ever. vomiting and everything. I thinks it due the foods/drinks that I had consumed. A lot of
Sundrop drinks,every house serve this drink, it is some kind of can orange juice with a little bits of gassy feel, this drink is great, but it's not so friendly to my stomach.
hehe.. And it's took like 5 days to fully recovered. I tried every things from pill
chi kit tek aun,charcoal pills,
chinese tea, ointments. And i didn't knew which give the rite cure.hehe...but the most important, I have sampled every local dishes for
aidilfitri.(
laksa sarawak,
mee jawa,
mee belacan,
mee tomato,variety of lovely
sarawak layer cakes ...the list is long..but I can't remember all their names).
For me K
uching is nice place to visit, the town is nice. For some examples, waterfront walkabout,the nice public garden behind the museum near the old
chinese cemetery(we took family pictures there.. nice and some eerie feelings..
haha).
There's also a new shopping mall in
kuching, named the Spring situated at
jalan simpang tiga,near the police headquarters. It a nice shopping, where we can get the big apple donuts.
hehe.. we love the smell of it. The new mall is just behind my mother in law oldest sister.
BTW, I manage to go to Rupert Rage with my dear freind,Nazd. Rupert is a cool skateboard/ imported bands Ts shop which is relocated to second floor of
sarawak plaza just behind Holiday inn. They have been in this business quite some time.They have a quite interesting stuff, such as the old
skool skteboard,
santa cruz,
robrosskop and iron
maiden X vans.
As for
Iffah, she had a good collection of "
duit raya/
angpow".
hehe..
All together it was a great
aidilfitri celebration,even for a diarrhea me.
Enjoi!
P/S: will be in Kuching again ,2009for AidilAdha. Ole!
