Damai Puri getaway...

went up to Damai Puri over the Gawai weekend last month...

still gotta wait for quite a while for our rooms to be ready after checking ourselves in as the resort was packed due to the Gawai long holiday...

NYC staring blank at the sea while Jason dunno messaging which GFs...

got our rooms with pool/sea view...

went out for dinner at the nearby seafood restaurant...

this particular Sarawak style Oh-Chien (蚵煎) was oh-so-good... yums...

beef porridge served during the breakfast buffet @ the resort restaurant...

& seriously this was the few times I actually enjoyed hotel's breakfast porridge...

took quite a lot of pictures of the three Vios that went up together, coz all of us kiasu ppl parked at the super expensive parking spaces right smack in front of Damai Puri's main entrance @ RM50 each per day... =___=!!!

indulge ourselves under the evening sun at the pool side cabanas...

I seriously do not mind waking up to this view every single day lor......

hiatus...

two things to blame...

1) my iPhone - it's too much fun till it's eating into my blogging time...

2) Facebook - notifications that kept on beeping/showing up drew my attention away from my PC... =____='''''

will try to resume blogging asap... so much happenings over the past months...

assorted snapshots VII

fish & chips that I ordered for dinner at Basaga... very delicious...

lousy food, kong'ed iPhone and over-kiasu Kuchingites...

Han was back in Kuching to attend a friend's wedding, so us old friends went to this new place called Asian Recipe for lunch last Sunday. I ordered the Penang Asam Laksa (picture), which I seriously regretted. It didn't suit the taste bud at all, and was too sour to my liking.

appearance wise, it looked pretty pathetic already, 5 seconds later, the taste confirmed the lousiness of the food... and they have the cheek to charge RM5.50 for this kindda crap...


fortunately, I enjoyed the dessert that Han bought from Taiwan - the famous 凤梨酥 that I mentioned about last month when my parents too brought some back from their Taiwan trip.


After the lunch, went over to Saberkas to try get Han's iPhone fixed. what happen was that the bugger, after getting the phone unlocked, went to upgrade the software, which caused the phone to kena locked again. Sommore he didn't bring back the data cable, so the guy at the phone shop couldn't do anything about it as there were no iPhone data cables around.

a note for all to-be/current iPhone users: If you wanna upgrade the software, do it before having it unlocked. once it's unlocked, you shouldn't upgrade the software as doing so will cause the phone to lock itself.

Lastly, I drove past The Spring during it's first day of operation (Thurday, January 10). The traffic jam was horrendous, as if the entire Kuching population was trying to squeeze into the mega mall. The newspaper reported that over 110,000 people went to The Spring on the opening day, and that was about 15% of Kuching's 700,000 population.

That building in the picture is only one of the two buildings connecting to each other... Look at them cars causing all the jams!! There are 3 entrances into the mega mall area, and all 3 roads were jammed up, causing residents around The Spring, typically those living in Kenyalang Park (including ME!!!) a hard time getting in and out of the area...

Verdict: Kuching people damn KIASU lar... I'll give The Spring until after Chinese New Year, then the volume of shoppers going there would probably be reduced to the state that I could park my cars sideways in the 1200 parking-lot basement without causing a hoo-haa...
