blur off days - kk pt 3

toured and visited

with muscle cramp all over me.. *sigh*

seriously, if anyone is planning to climb the mountain, i guess the best exercise anyone can do would be taking the stairs. and i mean ALOT of stairs. the whole journey up and down the mountain was like stairs everywhere! i underestimated myself thinking that coming down the mountain was easier than going up. well, technically it is but with the muscle cramp you had earlier, coming down is worst! but faster la..

anyway, we went around KK visiting a few places - philipino market, sutera harbour, jesselton harbour, waterfront. its really interesting to go to places and really be a tourist. we were walking around talking in hokkien and really acting like a 'jakun' fella.. haha..

i must admit, east malaysia is a very beautiful place. i was in kuching just a couple days before flying to kk and it really beautiful.

kuching - the place is clean, big and i love their bilin [ a kind of wild fern veg ]. their seafood is lovely and my client gave me 2 fresh water fish to bring back to kl..! first, i was shocked with their present. second, i dont cook! oh well, its the thought and my cell cooked it well. kuching or rather sarawak is known for the pepper industry. so, when i visited one of the souveneir shops.. they were selling alot of pepper stuff - pepper sweets, pepper jelly sweets, dark pepper chocolates, white pepper chocolates, chilli pepper sauce.. i was so tempted to buy the chocolates to let other ppl try but.. its okie. shall try not to be so adventures.

aside from that, i manage to look around at the houses in kuching.. fuh~! crazy madness.. its.. huge..! and i really mean huge..! oh.. beautiful too of cuz.

i didnt manage to visit much in kuching but i would love to go there and visit again. love to see the houses and the also taman sahabat [ frienship park ] .. its beautiful. any available tour guides?

kk - its more laid back and relaxed altho there are some jam during peak time. but what is jam if compared to kl crazy jam that can last for 3 hours! i love the fact that its near the ocean.. the harbour.. probably because i love beaches in general [ my next stop would be terengganu or kelantan beaches ]. i love their lemon drink, 'kit chai peng' [ lime with sour plum ]. cant get it here in kl unless i make it myself.. hmm.. going around with my friends were really the best. the wooden handy craft is beautiful and pearls! they've got fresh water pearls and ocean pearls and donno what other pearls sold in the philipino market! hahaha..

a few things about east malaysia that i can roughly conclude..

1. the land of the four wheel drives - my little kelisa is like a little ant there!
2. awesome seafood and really fresh - we can pick the fish that we want to eat!
3. the land of huge houses - too much land and really very nice.. *sigh* when can i get one..?
4. really fresh air - compared to kl la.. but with the current haze.. err...

i told ivan about my trip to east malaysia and i really enjoyed myself.. he said.. i should find an east malaysian husband.. (-.-")

i would really want to go to east malaysia again.. maybe to labuan? diving..? hmm.. anyone interested? ;o)
