Aidilfitri 2008@ Kuching,malaysia

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 Kuching 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!
