I’m helping Ben to promote their concert. This poor guy said that the ticket sales aren’t good so he needs more people to buy the ticket to raise fund for their trip. Sorry lar Ben, I can’t go on that day, busy with a project now.

So… Here you go…
IMH is organising LIVE! pop concert on the 15th of March (thursday), 7.30 pm at Kenyalang Theatre. Tickets sold at RM 20 (15 for IMH Privilege Card holders). Fixed seating.
View the poster.

They’ll be doing songs such as Welcome To The Black Parade, Only Hope, La Camisa Negra, A Moment Like This, Kenangan Yang Terindah, and many more… They will perform with their own touch and interpretation.

iGloo – Charmy Snow Ice

March 11, 2007March 13, 2007 sweet surrender 17 Comments

The weather is hot lately don’t you think? Want something cooling? We have a new place for something cool in Kuching. It was launched not long ago. iGloo, situated at the same row as Roseberry.

Left: You will not miss it with such cute signboard.
Right: The decorations in the shop. I like it very much.

Left: Something you can see below the counter. So cute hehehe…
Right: The interior. Such a specially design. Very refreshing concept. Of course, if you don’t like to sit on highchairs, you can opt to sit at the side where normal chairs and tables are available. Gosssh… The air-con was so cold.. *shiver*, eating ice summore (-.-“) but outside was so hot.
Their menu. It’s plastic menu. Quite heavy. Actually iGloo is a franchise. They have franchise all over the world which include Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia(JB, Kuching, Miri[or is it Bintulu? Can’t recall]), Taiwan, China etc. The HQ is in Taiwan(I think…).

The ice is not normal ice. The texture is different, it’s not the same as what you get in ais kacang. The texture is fluffy. They have more than 5 flavours(chocolate, milk, green tea, coffee, mango, peanut, strawberry), more coming if not mistaken.
Left: Milk Ice with Chocolate(RM4.80).
Right: Mango Ice with Grape Wine(RM5.00), this is self customised, not available in the menu. You can customise your own snow ice. The more ingredient the more expensive.
The cheapest snow ice you can get is RM4.80 and the most expensive is RM6.

They also offer cakes, puddings and teas. For these, you have to ask the staff about it because that’s what stated in the menu.

Quite a nice place to hang out with friends. Not bad 🙂

Borneo Highlands – Lunch & Goodbye

March 10, 2007March 18, 2007 sweet surrender 4 Comments

Lunch time! We checked out before we went for lunch at Annah Rais Cafe.
Left: Satay, vegetarian version of course. The satay tasted good. Also salads.
Right: Corn and egg soup. Very thick, love it!

Rice, beehoon, mixed veggies, and pineapple beef(not real meat, don’t dream!)

Mixed veggies again… And “you cha kueh” cooked with sweet sauce(this should be the morning leftover and they turned it into another type of dish), and fruits.

left: Red rice porridge, at first we thought it’s red bean porridge. 😛 So thick! It’s cooked with sugar, coconut milk and sago.
Right: Coffee or tea?

While we were dining, the fog(it’s called fog right?) kept coming on and off. One moment things became invisible, another moment it’s visibile again. As if you’re in the fairy land or something. The weather was very cooling that day compare to the day before. We were expecting it to turn hotter around 1pm but still the same. See the photos below… WOW!

Must take photo as memory before going down. See the view behind us? Couldn’t even see the field at the back. The visibility was so low.

That’s the end of my Borneo Highlands trip report. My conclusion, it’s a nice place to escape. The resort is small and this makes the staffs able to give you more personal attention, make you feel comfortable, and they treat you just like their friends instead of a customer. They are very helpful too. Food tastes good. Compare with those vegetarian food out there, out there sucks. The environment is great except hahaha… Maybe the washing closet and no attached shower but I don’t really mind. Price wise, on the normal days without promotion are a wee bit too high for many people. Other than that, I’m quite happy with it.

Oh, we didn’t have enough time to get a massage/facial. They start from RM80 and above and the shortest duration is 30 minutes depending on which massage/facial you are getting. It will be charged into your room.

By the way, the videos are up in You Tube. I will post them here when I’m free. I think you are overloaded with the trip report already hahahah…

I still have a lot of photos unrelease ;P I will blog again about it when I have nothing to blog. It’s too pretty that’s why must share them with you. Not to forget our camwhore photos too;p

Mind you, this trip is fully beared by ourselves, Borneo Highlands isn’t paying us anything for this review. As for the offer, I had finalised with them. Too bad it’s only applicable for a group of 10 people or more and I must go too else you won’t be able to get that offer. I don’t think I can go again this year since I have other things lining up. I have to let the offer go and sorry to all of you that looking forward to the offer. Too bad… Don’t worry, there will be another offer in August. I will update you on it by then.

Borneo Highlands – Swan Lake

March 9, 2007March 21, 2007 sweet surrender 7 Comments

Bye bye pretty flowers and hello to the swans! This is my first time see real swans. Very excited 😛 Up… Up… Up we went. Have to walk up the hill to reach the lake. There’s a Chinese Temple up there somewhere. It’s in charge by the Taiwanese however only those that want to pray and worship are welcome. If you just want to visit it without the heart, then they do not welcome you. It’s not recommeded to go according to our guide unless you really have the heart to pray and worship there.

Views from the top.

Up we went to the lake. You can opt for this way or the concrete road. The view of the hut makes you feel like you’re in fairy tale land.

The swans!!! YES! YES!! Finally!! Don’t feed them if you don’t want them to chase you hahaha… Someone got chased, you know who you are 😛 Of course, there are ducks too. They are so ADORABLE!!!

A small hut where to can rest and get nice view the lake and the surrounding. Here’s where the 18-hole situated. Further up, you will reach the swan sanctuary but we didn’t have time to walk up.

This is our last destination. There are still a lot to discover, 2 days 1 night is not enough. By the way, I forgot to mention that there isn’t any mobile phone signal deep into Padawan until Borneo Highlands. You will not be living with mobile phone for as long that you are there, so no one can contact you, a great place to escape hahaha… There isn’t any phone in the room too. The only place with phone is the reception counter hahaha… If you can’t live without your mobile phone, then you need to get a satelite phone hahaha 😛

We went back to the resort via air-conditioned Land Cruiser instead of “Tut-tut”. It took us quite a while to wait for our transport becuase according to them, there will be an opening ceremony by some politicians that’s why the “Tut-tut” was delayed. Since there are children waiting with us and they are getting restless, the guide got a Land Cruiser to send the children and parents back but when the Land Cruiser reached the Flower Garden, the children didn’t want to go up because they wanted to sit on the “Tut-tut” hahahha… So the 4 of us took that ride and left behind another 2 friends of us with “Tut-tut”. Besides, the “Tut-tut” was on the way to the Flower Garden too, it reached there not long after the Land Cruiser.

Back to the resort, we went to our room to pack up and waited for lunch. Will be blogging about our lunch after this. By the way, there will be an offer awaiting you so that you can pay a visit to Borneo Highlands too. Watch this blog!
