My Holiday Trip Report (Three)

Part One is here
Part Two is here
After the unforgettable trip at Egypt, I then continue my journey all the way to the end of the earth. I went to the North Pole.


I meet up with a few Eskimos people, they are very friendly but they don’t understand English, we had to use hand language to communicate. I go fishing with them, they treat me eat ice-cream, and ride polar bear with them.


Then I went to Hollywood to meet up with some famous movie celebrities. To have dinner with them, no camera allow, so I didn’t take much photo.


After dinner, I was in time for the last flight to England. When I reach there it was 02:15am. All the hotels are fully book, so I have to sleep at the bus stop for one night.


The next day, I took at early flight to the United State to visit the Statue of Liberty. She is indeed very beautiful, and tall. God Bless America.


After roaming around half of the world, is time for me to go back to my own country, so that night after visiting the State, I fly back to Malaysia. By the time I reach, it was almost noon.


To Genting, The city of Entertainment
I went to KL Sentral to get the 12pm ticket to Genting at the price of for RM7.30, and make a call to First World Hotel to confirm my reservation. It took me almost one hour to get to Genting Highland. In the bus, there is a young Malay guy sitting beside me. I start to talk with him, he told me that he is going to Genting to pick his friend, and what a coincident, he was in the IT field as well. So the both of us exchange some precious knowledge on some IT stuff, and just like me, he was from a small town then after finish study he went to KL to work and rent a room there. He was surprise that a Sarawak people main transportation to go from one place to another is by plane (like Kuching-Miri-Sibu-Limbang-Sabah), as in KL they usually use Bus, or Train. Yep, we Sarawak people live up on the tree alright, but we have elevator to go up, and our transportation is plane and helicopter.

After an hour, we reach Genting. I bit farewell to my new friend, and went to check in to my room. Well, this is the first time I came to Genting, so everything is very new to me. I follow the crowd to the main lobby, get my number and checked in. I live at the 20th floor, and the room is small but for a single guy is more than enough. I was given coupons to First World Café for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner everyday.

That night, I start to roam around First World Hotel. When I reach the second floor, it was like a big playground. Very colorful, very cold (raining that time), and very crowded. I start to walk around; I had my buffet style dinner at the First World Hotel with my first coupons. After the dinner, I bough myself a ticket to the ”Mysteria – Believe the Impossible” it was perform by Tim Kole, he is the master illusionist from Las Vegas. The show was fantastic, I enjoy every second of it. But we’re not allowed to take photos, so I face a big risk by posting this photo up. But to share with my dear reader, this is all worth it :)

After the magic show, I was very hungry. I went to Burger King to try out the beef black paper burger, and a large size coke. After my supper, I start to roam around Genting again, the rain just stop, and the win was very strong. I was freezing! But despite the cold weather, I still manage to take some night shoots of Genting – The City of Entertainment.


My bus ticket to Genting RM7.30, the bus depart at 12.00pm


Reach First World Hotel one and a half hours later, I’ve check in the hotel. And I was in the20th floor, I didn’t expected that it would be so crowded.


My room, is a bit small, but is more than enough for me.


Went to the First World Café to have my dinner, is a buffet style dinner, I can eat as many round I want, and eat as many stuff as possible.


I bought a ticket to see the illusionist from Las Vegas, Mr Tim Kole. Their theme was base on an Egypt story.


Burger King, my supper after the magic show.

The Bung Jagoi Heritage Centre Hike and the Bung Tesen Peak Viewpoint

With just around 320 meters above sea level, the Bung Jagoi it's one of the most family friendly trail available in Kuching. The trail is super easy to hike, and suitable for children and old people, a good weekend gateway. Not to forget it also has a very nice viewpoint on the summit peak.  And if hiking is not your cup of tea, you can also bring your family to the waterfall, just a few mins hike at the base of the mountain.  There is a big parking space for your car, a few ringgit per car. This is a restaurant, and we paid our entrance fees here. They also offer daily tour package, which includes food.  A friend of mine bring his 70+ years old mother and two young children to hike together, and impressively she made it to the summit.  A waterfall trail just below the mountain. Good for children, as I know my children like to play in the water more than hiking to the summit.  Very clear water from the mountain.  view along the way to the summit A souvenir...

Camping at Pugu Beach Lundu Kuching

Pugu Beach situated at Lundu, after Pandan beach. Drive all the way up you will see road sign showing where is the beach location. Its a long stretch of beach, which lead all the way to the river mount of Sungai Sebako Besar. My friends and I decided to visit the place, and stay at the resort hut which we paid RM50 per night. Pugu Beach is about 7.11km long from bukit Gondol. The day I visited, was a hazy day. Partly due to the heavy burning on our neighboring country Kalimantan. A panoramic view of the Pugu Beach, the view are very nice if you are at the top of the bukit Gondol. A small hill on the other end of the beach. Enjoying the time hanging out with my buddies. Long time did not meet up with them, and camping together with them. Hope in future, we can have time to go for adventure together, just like old time. This is a simple resort hut, they also have a toilet and washroom. But they don't sell food, so we have to bring our own food and water....

Mount Hosanna Chapel with Wilson Chin, Borneo Sarawak

This is the Mount Hosanna Chapel, while on my way back from Sri Aman, I drop by this place, and it is located about 157 KM from Kuching city (near Seri Aman), Malaysian Borneo. You can see this chapel just beside the Kuching - Sri Aman highway. What interesting about this place first is the design of the chapel, and second will be the story behind it, and it goes like where God spoke to the philanthropist who funded the church construction and healed his wife which is diagnose with critical illness. When I meet one of the chapel members there, and asked about this, he deny this. And told me that this is not true, and it was the priest himself who raise the fund to build this chapel. So I walk up to the chapel, and visit the place. Saw a priest is currently blessing the members. The building looks like three big candles,  it means Trinity. In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
