10 Things You Should Know About Kuching, Sarawak

For those of you who don't know where Kuching is, this is a good map to start with:

10 Things You Should Know About Kuching, Sarawak

1. Kuching is in Sarawak, and Sarawak is not in Sabah, nor is Sabah in Sarawak, they're next to each other.
2. Now that you know that, please don't come telling me: "Hey I'm going to Kuching!Can you bring us to KK?".
3. There's no form of water transport from West Malaysia to East Malaysia, unless you don't mind going into the cargo ship, and only if they allow it. So stop asking me: "Hey how much is the boat/ship/sampan fare to Kuching?". Please pick AirAsia or MAS.
   
4. We don't live on the trees or in the caves. But we love convincing you that we do!
5. We don't go around in horses, buffalos or sampan's. But again we love convincing you that we do!
6. There's no headhunters, at least not anymore. So stop asking me how they look like, I've never seen one my whole life!
7. We don't talk to Orangutan's.
8. We don't swim with the buaya's.
9. We don't hunt for our meals in the wood.
10. And lastly, YES, Sarawak is in Malaysia.
    

Ben Harper-Forever

My current favourite:

"Ben Harper-Forever"

Not talkin' 'bout a year
No not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do From you

People spend so much time
Every single day
Runnin' 'round all over town
Givin' their forever away
But no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

Like a handless clock with numbers
An infinite of time
No not the forever found
Only in the mind
Forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

Nightmares, The New Entry

I'm back to blog bout my recent nightmares..Unless you get them as often as I do, or you'd really think I need a good psychiatrist, or Lilian Too!

Two days ago I dreamt there was a new shopping mall in town, not just any ordinary mall!It's built on a crane, and it revolved! The crowd was massive..Everyone was queuing up to the top of building. It's almost as tall as Kuching's civic centre, the view was scenic, everything was great, until it started revolving faster....and faster...and FASTER!

Before long, it became so chaotic and people were stumbling over one another! I was thrown out of the window, and hanging by the edge, I was being swung like a pendulum in mid air! The wind was so strong and the building wasn't revolving any slower. Helpless as I was, I couldn't hold on much longer with the wind pulling me off by each second.

The next second, I woke up from a near death heart attack and cold sweat!

My explanation to this: I must've turned the fan on too strong!

Swing It Like Woods

Guess what I did today?Make your wildest guess..haha!I played golf!Yes G-O-L-F!It was Tian Hao's idea to join the Uni sponsored coaching session. Since I wasn't doing anything, so I thought: "Hmm..Why not?".

So there we were at the Ayer Keroh Country Club, all geared up and met up with Mr Ali, our coach of the day. Yes Ali doesn't sound like a name for a golfer I know, haha like "Hello, I'm Ali, and I'll be teaching you golf today". It just doesn't sound right!LOL unlike "I'm Ali, I'm the heavy-weight boxer, don't mess with me or I'll see you in the ring!Don't you agree that's more.....Ali?haha

The Buggies

The Driving Range

We then got 100 balls for RM6 and headed to the driving range, on the first floor where it was empty so that we wouldn't be the pros' laughing stock! Mr Ali handed me a club no. 7, wow my lucky 7! haha was it just a random pick or that's what all beginners start with?I don't know!

"Hold your club like this..Legs slightly apart..No no not that far apart!ya ya pegang cam ni.."

"Keep your left arm straight..Right slightly bent.."

"Bend you knees..Now lift your club...Slowly...Slowly...Yea good..Keep your left arm straight..And swing!"

And swing and swing and swing I did.

"Good! Now try it with a ball"

Eyes aimed at the ball, I lifted the club, and swung!

*click!* Wow the ball was sent airborne (Yes I hit the ball, the virgin swing, for the very first time in my life!), nice and far!haha not bad for my very first attempt huh? Cool! The ball was happy and so was I.

"Yes!Yes!Good!Cam tulah..good good now try again.."

Haha so I thought, how hard could this be right?Pieces of cake! I did it once, I can always do it again haha. Without further delay, I picked up another ball from the "dispenser" (which was actually a dust pan without a stick), and placed it onto the carpet.

"eyes on the ball..left arm straight..right arm bent..and swing it like Woods!"

*Whamp!* The club hit the carpet instead of the ball! Damn must've not aimed on the ball I thought, So I tried again.

*Swoosh!* I din't hit the carpet this time, nor did I the ball! I hit blank air!

Now how did I do it the first time! Until the n-th time, I was swinging the club through blank air or I was shoving the carpet like snow! How frustrating! It must've been the luck 7 that I hit the ball at the very first time haha!

"Left arm straight..right slightly bent..eyes on ball..and AIM FOR THE MONKEYS!!"

Then on, I hardly hit any ball at all, and when I finally did, it either bounced into the field or it flew to unpredictable directions haha! After 150 balls, we were pretty much done, all worn out and exhausted so we packed up and left, doubting if we'd ever come back again haha!

Golf, not really my cup of tea, at least not yet, I think!

Post-golf

Some freaky kid we bumped into on our way back, he's got a twig on his right hand, a badminton racquet on his left, and its bag on his HEAD! Cool gadgets bro!

The Grand Opening!

I have a new blog people!Having heard bout lotsa friends complain bout getting updated blog notification emails from friendster, I've decided not to be another annoying brat who spams their inboxes. Hence here I am, with my new blog!

I just did a midterm. A mixture of not-so-easy and easy ones, but all in all it was relatively easier than the first paper!Let's hope I did good ENOUGH...hehe. I think i need a psychiatrist, any good one to recommend anyone?I've been getting series of nightmares lately..from cleaning a bloody dead body, to falling into a pitch dark, bottomless hole, from getting slashed by gangsters with parang's, to getting caught in a tidal wave, you name it, I've got it my friend! Either I need some pressure management courses or I'm sick, really sick! I've been lack of sleep, and when I finally get some, I get nightmares and I wake up feeling unrested at all!How unhealthy...

I was at www.kennysia.com a day in class, he found Dolphines at Santubong!How cool's that people?Dolphines in the wild, at our very own home, Kuching!It's so going to be in my 10 Things to Do When I Get Home haha..I've never seen a real life dolphine!How pathetic is that?The last time my dad saw one in the wild, it was dead!How sad..

I've just recovered from a traumatizing gastric. It was so bad that it woke up from sleep!Think having sandpaper-rough stone down your throat, I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink, I could barely breathe!Had the doctor prescript me medications for 3 whole weeks..excruciating!Take my advice my dear friends, TAKE YOUR PROPER MEALS ON TIME, and NEVER SKIP ANY!The consequences are unbearable,trust me!

My close companions for 3 weeks, couldn't live without 'em!

Thank you all for stopping by!Feel free to leave a comment or two!and do come back again!
