Wednesday's Anchovies

Hooyeah!!! We survived in the rain and when the rain stopped, we ride further down and finally spotted the junction to Wind Cave. Yes, you would arrived at Wind Cave first, followed by Fairy Cave if you are from Kuching. The main entrance. So said hello to Wind Cave first! Torchlight is required here since it is total dark in the cave. Torchlight is available for rent at the ticket counter. A proper trekking shoes with good gripping would be a good choice since it is quite slippery in the cave, especially after rain! There are totally 3 passages in the cave, and we go for passage number 1, which is around 320metres and around 25minutes. If you are in passage number 1, you covered majority of the cave attractions like fruit bat, sink hole, stalagmite and stalactite, cave view and etc. The general map. Passage no. 1! Entering the dark cave! Total dark. You can see some sunlight like picture shown above if you walk until the end.. Baby bats s

Bau, a small town around 1 hour drive from Kuching. From Kuching, we travelled to Bau and stopped by Tasik Biru as well as Pekan Bau for lunch while we are on the way to Wind Cave & Fairy Cave. Bau was used to be a gold mining town in Sarawak. Never heard about this small town?? Well, Bau is Malaysia famous diving athlete, Pandelela Rinong's hometown!  We travelled to Bau using the rented motorbike. One good thing travelling using motorbike is it is so easy to stop anywhere you like :P Ok, provided that it is safe :) At a random stop while on the way to Bau. Don't you think here looked like a mini Pinnacles? :P Heading to Tasik Biru :) Don't worry about getting lost, the place is small and sign boards are adequate to bring you there. Spot the golden chair! Tasik Biru (Blue Lake). It was a sunny day when we were there.  By the way, this lake is actually a man-made lake, due to previous gold mining activity. Wave goodb

Three years after my first full distance marathon at Penang Bridge , I made a comeback for the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2016 (SCKLM). This year, with the new cut-off time being extended to 7 hours for FM category, it is guaranteed to be more participations and fun. It was not an usual Sunday morning, I had to wake up at 1.30 a.m. and drove to Kelana Jaya LRT station. Boarding the LRT was a wise choice, you can save up the time looking for limited car park at nearby Dataran Merdeka. The train also stops lesser along the journey and believe me, you will be right into the running mood with bunch of avid runners riding the midnight marathon train!! To top it all, the LRT service is FOC (Freeee)!! Rows of mobile toilets spotted! *#SCKLMTip1 : Plan Ahead. Make sure that you bring along your touch & go card to avoid the queue for purchasing ticket at Masjid Jamek station, after the race. Picture taken before entering Pen. 4 My starting pen was no.

If you plan to stay at Kuching for very short period and do not plan to visit to nearby city like Semenggoh or Bau (although we strongly recommended you to pay a visit there :P), you can still having fun loiter around Kuching city centre! From cultural visit to historical visit and not to forget local attraction tooo! First of all, you may need a transport here to ease your day. Rent a car is too mainstream and you may need to crack your head to look for parking. That’s why we go for motorbike! According to locals, there is only one legal shop at Kuching with motorbike renting service! Ah Hui Motor Address: No. 29, Jalan Tabuan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak. Telephone: +60168863328 or +6082240508 Opening hours: 8am – 6pm (Monday to Saturday) ; 8.30am – 11am (Sunday and public holiday) Ah Hui Motor. Vespa for rent too! This shop is recommended by Lonely Planet and their service is very good! We rent a motorbike (Karisma) from them for 2 days, Rm40 per day i
