Photo Session At Santubong Resort, Kuching

Hello there,

Thanks for dropping by my blog and waiting for updates from me.

Some of you might wonder where I have been for a few days right? Well...I have been away to somewhere, in Kuching. Our institution is quite busy at the end of every year especially when we have government tender to perform and expectations to be met. In December, I will be going to Sibu to conduct a short course. If you are from Sibu, maybe we can have a cup of coffee at night to talk about how to make money through blog. Hehehe....

While at Santubong Resort, Kuching for three days, I took these photos. Hope you guys like it.

Fishermen Care

Fishing is an occupation that can never be ceased as we need fish for food. During my stay in Kota Kinabalu, I took time to observe people who make their living through fishing. The boats seen at Kota Kinabalu sea made the place looks lively and beautiful. Unlike KK, Kuching is just located near the river (Sarawak River) and has been labelled as polluted. by the government Furthermore, the river is not blue like in KK (hehehe...of course la...it's a sea! What am i talking about?)

(I was surprised that the sea water is actually clear. You can see the sand and stones underneath)

(Boats become the mode of transportation for people living in "Kampur Air" or Village by the sea)

Imperial International Hotel

Before I visited Sabah. I did a thorough research from the internet and friends. I even chatted with a blogger Angel Bear from Sabah, through facebook, on tips of getting around Sabah. One thing I noticed that, not all hotels in Sabah are listed in Sabah official maps (the hardcopy, produced by Sabah Tourism Board). Thus, finding hotels through google.com is very much helpful. That's how I discovered Imperial International Hotel (also based on Chegu Carol suggestion)

(It is located in the city centre. It is attached to Plaza Warisan and next to Sabah popular shopping centre, Centre Point)

Centre Point is a great shopping centre because it has a lot of shops inside. I was amazed to look at the great many of people inside the shopping mall.

(Don't be surprise that the signboard of this hotel is very small and it is just this. You won't find the signboard on the wall itself. So, you can easily miss this place)
(The hotel rooms were designed with studio and contemporary concepts. It has one big red bed chair. My son loved it so much because the chair can turn 360 degrees)

(This is the entrance. They provide one nice bathroom and a closet with a safe deposit box)

(We can look at the sea from this window. Meet my mother in-law)

(The photos of the room)

The room is beautiful, but a bit expensive. Probably because it is located near the waterfront and shopping centres. However, staying here will save you on transportation cost.

Air Asia, The Touch Down

Yeah! I finally landed on Sabah using Air Asia. Thanks to Air Asia for its cheap but quality service. I have been using Air Asia for a few times and I have seen tremendous improvement in their services. The best thing I like about using Air Asia is that, its online booking service.

(My 3 years old son and myself)

One good thing about Air Asia is their efficiency of online service. You feel that you have the power to book anything you need which include:

a) Booking your seat
b) Advanced payment for your luggage
c) Pre-booked meals

Their airport terminal is simple. No complicated routes and procedures, except for the immigration procedures and security checks.

Well...I have not tried MAS online booking yet because, I still couldn't get rid of the expensive fare mindset of MAS. Maybe I should give it a try next time. No harm in experimenting right?

Rain Rain, Go Away

Rain Rain, go away, little Johnny wants to play! This is my son's favourite song lyric. Hahaha...and now I am singing it to myself.

Kuching has been blessed with rain every early morning (1AM to 4Am). But when the rain stops at 4AM, it brings a natural beauty especially when the sun begin to rise at 6AM. Look at the after rain effect below. Those living in Kuching will definitely see this kind of view almost daily on the road or.....you didn't notice. Hahahaha...Isn't it beautiful?
