Serian Market

On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, my family and I went to Serian, Kuching to visit mom’s brother. We all went to the Serian market to purchase some food for dinner. The market was crowded by people, I never thought that on the fifth day of CNY people would start working, they suppose to rest at home enjoying the new year holiday.

Since I came to Kuching I had never step into the market before. That day make me think back the time when I always force by my mom to drive her to the market, and to help her carry the things that she bought (what to do, since I don’t have any sister).

There are many stalls at the market, selling vegetable, fruits, drinks, cakes, and some of the thing that I even don’t know the name. According to my uncle, most of them stay in a very remote mountain village. They have their own land, and plant their own crops, don’t judge them from the outside as some of them are very rich people. As usual, I took a lot of photos that day. Some of the aunties are very shy, when I wanted to take their photo, they hurry and cover their face off...so cute.

First he hold some water in the mouth, then he spray the water on the lady’s back neck. All of a sudden, the water at the neck turns into red color, red like blood. Yiaks...I think this is some king of black magic, to cheat people money. Is disgusting...

The green hill temple 青山岩

My previous visit to the temple is here

On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, the weather was cloudy. I bring my parent to The Green Hill Temple to pray. It is a temple that situated on top of a mountain; of course there is stairway for people to walk to the temple. My father told me that, during his time there where no road to the temple, they need to use a boat to reach to the temple. Today there are good tarmac road build for people from Kuching town all the way to the temple. And because of Chinese New Year, the place was crowded by people. Just we reach the temple, it starts to rain. All of a sudden, the temple was pack with people. My parent went to pray, while my brother and I went to take a couple of shots.

After my parent finish praying, we went to eat some vegetarian noodles that prepared by the temple. The noodle was nice, but I only manage to get a small portion of the noodle, cause there are too many people. The rain had stop after we finish our noodles, then I helped my mom and dad took a few shots, my dad was holding my mom’s hand…how sweet. I don’t usually see my dad do this in front of his kids, but I can tell the older my folks get, they love each other more. By the time we left the temple, again the rain start to pouring heavily. But there are still people keep on coming, all heading to the temple to pray. Dad was holding mom hand all the way to the car, aw~~I’m glad and happy to see that. 拜的神多，自有神保佑。

The Euro Traveling Theme Park @ MJC Batu Kawa Kuching

Now I’m sitting in front of my PC with a little dizzy on my head while writing my write-up on the Euro Traveling Theme Park that I visited last night. My friends and I was having drinks and satay at the Hui Sing open-air when I receive a call from Kuang asking me to join them to the Theme Park. So I quickly finish up my dinner and follow them to the theme park.

When we reach, the place was pack with people. This Theme Park had arrived at Kuching since last year December, and it is open to the public until late midnight. I bought a RM3.00 entrance fees, and bought another 6 tokens which cost me RM12.00. Basically the park divided into two part, one is for thrill ride, like the Xtream where it let people sit in the both end, and keep on spinning and spinning until you vomit all your dinner out. Another one is the Tagada Spin is like a plate where it lets people sits on the edge, then it will start spinning, and spinning again, you are not require to hold the safety bar, as the force that cause by the spin will keep you stick on your sit, and many more other rides. Two is a tent that let people win price like dolls, you just have to understand the rules to win, and if you hit the jackpot then a price will be given away.

My friends and I had tried the Destructor, I had record a movie clip on the ride. When it starts spinning, I was very exited and happy. But after a few minutes, I start to feel strange, my head start to get dizzy, and I can feel that the dinner that I ate half-an-hour ago is trying to get out from my stomach. The stupid thing just go round and round, it even goes upside-down, when it ends the rest of my friends had the same situation like me. So we all stop for a while, and went to the tent to win some stuff. When we wanted to start our next ride, the rains pour heavily. OMG!!! There goes my RM3.00, we all wait there for the rain to stop, but it didn’t. With no choice we all run back to our car, all wet. The next morning when I woke up, my head still feel a bit dizzy…


An adult entrance fees cost RM3.00


Token boot to purchase tokens


I bought a total of 6, which cost RM12.00, some ride require 3 tokens, where some require 6


To win a price, you need to throw the ball to hit the teeth of the clown


…then you can take away one of this little dog with a I love you bone on his mouth


The Tagada Spin


Phantom Chase, this is like a ghost house.


More dolls


My friend try this, 3 token and you can pick any five cards you like. There are number in the card, and if you card had an odd number then you win


But I don’t think the theme park management will put any odd numbers in, cause my friend had play two rounds and walk away with empty hand


The Destructor


The four of us waiting to be destruct


Let the fun begins baby!!!


The tallest, and most danger ride of all. The Xtream


Merry-go- round


yeah, just when we want to go for the next ride. It starts to rain.


The rain is not getting any smaller, so we all went home wet. But at least we win something home, two wet dolls
