spending our bachelor time together huhu
woke up at 4 a.m. catch our sahur meal at mcd padungan
and then back to hotel and took a nap..
then at around 10 went around town for a mission..
kuching was packed with vehicles
as this is the first weekend after payday..
everyone was wandering around as if they got so many things to buy
and as if tomorrow is 1st of syawal
we reached waterfront after battling in jamm
bought some books and clothes at fabriko for buttercup
then battling in jamm once again..
but lost the battle and decided to go to sarikin
sarikin is about 20km from bau..
and bau is about 1hour+ drive from kuching
sarikin is actually a village in the mlysia-indon border
ustad lan compared it to rntau pnjang in klantan
and i see it more like wang klian in perlis
yeah, above is sarikin...
this place offers varieties of crafts products, telekong, herbs
curtains, islamic crafts, kopiahs, sarongs and jersey..
but dont dont dont buy jersey from here.. thai's are better
shall i compare thai's jersey to al-ikhsan's? haa kain sama..
these products + bapak2 ibu2 penjual are indons
keywords : bisa, gampang, gratis
and after 2km of shopping spree..
we decided to go to bau town
this is bau.. once a gold mining town..
the streets of bau,
the rows of shophouses,
the ill maintained recreational areas
smell more or less like keroh in hulu perak
small, peace and harmony
this is the dewan suarah of bau..
the round shaped part resembles bidayuhs' bachelors house
this symbolizes bau as another predominant bidayuhs' area
apart from lundu and serian
these statues depict the gold mining community in bau
once a major economic force in bau
but know, there is a reduction in the commodity
and bau now is paying the price for its glorious days
and CM who visited bau a few days earlier
said that the government will turn bau into a tourism town
masjid darul iman near kg melayu in bau
unique in pattern and design
small but conducive
and holds one of the cleanest ablution + toilet
areas in sarawak.. for real.. kudos to the khariah
back to our journey..
we then moved to bt kawah and had our sungkei
at MJC's bombay masala
praba came along and had some chitchat wit us..
then, we head back to kuching to.. satok
yeah, datang berami-rami
nang rami lah sia..
packed with youngsters and elders..
and satok is merrier than usual..
many raya based items are here to spend cash on
kopiah songkok, bj mlayu, bj kbaya,
kain tudung, kek lapis, kueh raya,
butang baju, paul smith celup, levi's celup,
nike celup, ralph lauren celup..
banyk la..
fuhh what a day..
and the next day.. back to betong
and the next week.. back to penang ;p
