Merdeka Celebrations @ KFC Plaza Walk

September 1, 2007November 23, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

Yesterday was the 50th National Day. Went to do some shopping and came across the National Day celebration at KFC Plaza Walk for Kids’ Fun Club members I think… One of the programmes was singing competition. By the way, if you are wondering where is Plaza Walk, it’s actually at Sarawak Plaza.

Then… Hehehe… See them?

Those are Chicky and his friends. I forgot their names already 😛 Chicky actually posed for me(the middle one) *LOL* He didn’t move a bit until I’m done taking photo. So funny.

I don’t know it’s just me or not? Everytime I see these mascots walking around, I have mix feelings towards them. I mean… They won’t harm me, but I dare not to get close to them *LOL* At the same time, felt pretty excited seeing them. I know they are just human in there but *SHRUG* Really don’t know… Just have these weird feelings in me.

For adults, we all know that they are just human in there but many of us actually got pretty excited seeing them. Why? I don’t understand. Just like when you see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and etc. in Disneyland. These are originated from cartoons and TV shows, they don’t exist in real life but when somebody wears the costume of these characters, we would get all excited over them. Why? Hehehe… I don’t know…

Really pity those people in those costumes, must be very in there hot.

By the way, photos were taken with SE K800i without flash. I lef tmy camera at home because it’s still charging after the afternoon outing. Will blog about it after I’m done with choosing and resizing of the the photos. A LOT! Oh ya… I don’t think I can accompany you to your body piercings session.

Kuching Aquarium

Did you know that Kuching has an aquarium? Hahaha… We do. It’s just behind Sarawak Museum. Nothing much actually. Just aquariums with fish and also you can see tortoise there too. I think there’s a crocodile there too, can’t remember 😛

The entrances.

Like I say, aquariums with various fish types.

Tortoise and fish.

What else I can say? It’s been there for decades! I remember when I was little my parents always brought me here to play.

Esso? Xcel?

August 20, 2007August 19, 2007 sweet surrender 5 Comments

This photo is taken last week at Menara MAA. There are two petrol stations there right? One Esso, one Shell. I noticed that many Esso petrol stations had their signboards removed last few weeks. I thought they will have new signboards put up as the current signboards are all very old already, at least 10 over years.

Well… Indeed there will be new signboards but no longer Esso but are replaced by Xcel. There will be no more Esso in Kuching anymore. Too bad I didn’t take any photo of Esso before. How about other places?

Taxi In Kuching

August 19, 2007November 23, 2008 sweet surrender 13 Comments

What do you think of Kuching’s taxis? I have no idea, I only know that you can’t stop a taxi anywhere as you like unless you are at the taxi stand(do we have one?) or you call them up to pick you up. Usually, what kind of car they used? Our national cars such as Proton Wira, Proton Saga, Proton Iswara of course! Also some old Toyota Crown.

I might be slow in realising this. I know many of you should have seen it before. A Nissan Sentra for a taxi in Kuching! WOW! This is the first time I see one. Is this the one and only taxi that is using imported car in Kuching?

It even has a single number carplate. Cool…

Ok… Ok… Sorry for being so sakai *LOL* You might have seen it many times but this is my first time seeing it 😛

Cat Museum

August 12, 2007August 11, 2007 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Installed a new plugin for recent comments but I don’t like it. It’s stupid to display recent comments instead of the post titles like previous plugin but it’s not longer working anymore(don’t get it? Nvm…). Apparently my service provider block this code from running. Still in the process of looking for new plugin, will use this for the time being.

Finally… The long awaited post is here. Wuching, meet the Kucing(cat in Malay)! 😛

The Cat Museum is easy to locate. It’s above Bukit Siol or it’s in Kuching North City Hall. You won’t miss it if you are in Petra Jaya.

Admission is free. However, if you can donate, please do donate because the government is planning to charge entrance fee for our museums now. So to make sure you get free entrance in the future, make sure you donate if you can. I didn’t donate 😛

You have to pay for your camera/video camera if you planning to take photos or videos.

Let’s camwhore! 😛

Left: The preserved award winning cat.
Right: In these glass display units, you can see all kind of cats, mostly wild cats. Even preserved mouse hehehe…

Everything related to cats are display here.

They are all donated by cat lovers from all over the world such as Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, England…

More cat related collections.

By the way, the Cat Museum is the one and only museum that is dedicated to cats in this world.

Cat Cave. Hahaha… A cave filled with wild cats on the cave wall.

Left:The tomb for the cat. It’s real and dated 1907. It’s relocated to this museum.
Right: The silk screens are very nice.

Left: Cats in movie.
Right: You can buy souvenirs there.

Before leaving, you can sign the guestbook and donate to the museum. There’s a transparent box for you to put your money in.

It’s a place that you must visit. It’s not big but it could take up a lot of your time because there are so many interesting collections there. Too bad I can only show you some photos only, there are so many of them, I can’t possibly put all of them in -.-” Well… Maybe some other time, I edit them again and give you a part 2 of Cat Museum.
