Visit to the Serikin Market near Indonesia Border

The second time I visit the place, went there with my mum at Saturday at around 2pm.
The weather was HOT!!!


The stuff that they sell are getting lesser, check out the blog post that I visit previously, last time they have more stuff compare to now.


The place that they sell vegetable, this is at the very end of the stalls.


Not sure what is this for, they said is for medicine. RM160 for one.
And the dude are selling aphrodisiac medicine, so I guess this must be something related to it.


Mum bought the fried banana, and the indo local titbits.

Cheers,

Forgot to bring an umbrella that day :( damn hot!!!

Where is the Pancor Hotspring @ Kuching, Serian Road?

 

Sorry for my sleepy face :) but I've work up around 5am that morning, waited for my friend to pick me up at 5.30am. At first they told me that we're going to the hotspring. So I tough, I've been to the hotspring before, and it doesn't take that long to reach, why we have to go so early?

Then, saw my friend drive pass the junction to the Annah Raise Hotspring, and keep on driving all the way to the Kuching-Serian road. And we drive pass the Siburan Village (17 Mile), then Pass the Beratok Village (21st Mile), and pass the Tapah Village (22nd Mile). Then he took a left turn into the Dragon School (aka College Tun Abdul Razak) at Tapah Village (22nd Mile Kuching Serian Road).

 

And then, we drive again for another 10 - 15 min, and I saw signboard saying "Pancor Hotspring", then we turn right, again, and follow the signboard again. And finally we reach our destination.

 

This is my first visit to the Pancor Horspring, and is so near to my grandma hose at Tapah Village. Next time I can come here to deep my leg before visiting grandma. 

Entrance for each person is RM3. They have toilet, changing room. And I also notice they are building a huge hall on the entrance. 

 

The whole place is like a pond, which have static water. Yeah, static water. Everyone will deep inside the hotspring. My fiend told me that not to worry about hygiene, cause the water is hot, and it will kill all the bacteria. But for me, I will still prefer to deep my leg only.

 

Whereas my friends, they all choose to deep the whole body into the hotspring pond. We are lucky that day, cause is a hazy day, so although the sun is already high up in the sky, we still not feel that hot.

I've deep my leg inside the water for more than an hours of time, and I begin to sweat after that, and a bit dizzy, maybe my blood pressure is getting high. But it really feels good to be able to deep your leg into the hot water ;)

I also check out the other site of the place, the water here are all static. Can see a lot of algae, the water here is not hot but is normal cold. Still unable to find any fish swimming around here. Maybe is too dirty. This place has a potential to become a good tourist attraction, am so proud of Kuching, it is really a hidden treasure.

Visiting Kampung Singai Atas @ Bau

How to look after a lots of Kids? read My previous visit to the family, to know more about this family.

 

For you who are having birthday, Happy Birthday :)

yeah, when we get a simple Happy Birthday wish on our birth day, we will feel warm, and happy, cause we know that we still have someone who remember us, someone who like us, someone who care for us, someone who we called friend/family.

 

When we asked this mother what is her children birthday, she needs to refer to the birth certificate for the actual day. Can't blame her for not remembering the children actual birthdate, cause too much of them, and she have to look after their living, study, work, health, wash clothes, etc.

After we know the birthday of the kids, we then went and celebrate birthday with the kids there. 

So my friend, please remember the birthday of your love one, family, kids, or best friend. And if your busy, a simple Happy Birthday text will be more than enough to make them happy for that day. 

Cheers,

Wilson Chin

Happy Birthday to all the May babies :)

The Bungai Beach (Pantai Bungai) @ Bekenu, Miri

I'm at the Bungai Beach, is a family day :) this beach is a 40 minutes drive from the Miri town.

 

Just like Buntal Village at Kuching, this place is a fisherman village too. But the good thing about this beach is that it is very clean. The water is crystal clear, and the ocean is green blue in colour. I seldom see such clean ocean in Sarawak. Normally is a but muddy.

 

The the beach cost line is like a few kilometer long. 

 

I like this beach because it has a lot of big tress on the cost line, and I went there around 10am that day, we all just picnic under the trees shade. Without worrying the hot sun :)

 

And here it also has lots of jelly fish, some is huge!!! it give me the goose bum when seeing the jelly fish's back. Few years back (the first time encounter jelly fish), my brother and I went to a beach, and caught a few jelly fish, but we got stunk by it, and after that never in our life we dare to get close to a jelly fish anymore. 

 

ho ho... two of my brother swim out to the rocks, and show off...

My visit to the Sepupok Town (old Niah Town) @ Miri

 

So after the Niah Town, we went to the old Niah Town, is called Sepupok. You can get the location at google map here.

 

The famous food at this place is the Lobster Noodles, 9 bucks per bow. The reason we go there is because of the noodles, but unfortunately the owner went to Miri town that day, so they're not cooking. 

 

The same at the Bekenu town and Niah town, it has a river next to the town center too. 

And a "Beware of Crocodile" signboard has been put up as well.

 

The young, brave, and good looking crocodile hunter, Wilson Chin!!!! lols... :D

I felt so pity for the people here, as some of them doesn't have water supply to their home, so although is very danger (crocodile) to bath in the river, but they have no choice. 

My Visit to Batu Niah Town @ Miri

After my visit to Bekenu, then my parent and I drive another 15 mins to another town called Niah. My last visit to the Niah town is here. Where I explorer the famous Niah Cave.

Upon enter the Niah town, we are welcome by this magnificent view in front of us. The cliff wall of the Niah town.



My 2nd visit to this place, and this time I roam around the town area and see what they have there.



A Chinese school, is the SJKC Chee Mung. This might be a primary school, I also study in a Chinese primary school. And I learn how to write and read in Chinese there. But after goes to secondary school, no teacher available to teach Chinese, so we have no more changes to learn Chinese again.



Most of the small town in Sarawak, there will be a river. Is the same as Niah here, and they also put in a sign "A danger sign" of the alligator!!!!



Look at the static and muddy water here, you dare to swim in this place?

Cheers,

My Visit to the small town called Bekenu @ Miri

I visited a small town called the Bekenu Town, so this place is a 30 min drive from Miri. This town is under the Subis District Council. And as you can see the picture here, one of the income source is from oil palm plantation.

Upon entering the town, you can see a few row of newly develop shop lots. And most of them are operate by the Chinese people. Yes, the Barisan National are quite active here, cause I can see a lot of flags of the BN, and the PBB (Persaka Bumiputera Bersatu) in English is the United Traditional Bumiputera Party.

So opposition team, common where are you guys!!! do more roadshow in places like this, they need to know the truth about our country!!!

 

On the second half of the town, is where the old shop lots are. Most of them still remain their old appearance.

  

Most of them are also operate by the Chinese people here, and small town like this, they have 4 motor bike shops. The business is good, cause most of them are using motorcycle.

 

A place for the people here to hangout during their free time. The Bekenu esplanade.

 

And I also visited the marker, as it is just beside the Bekenu esplanade. The seafood here looks very fresh, from all the small town that I visited, I notice they have fresh sea product. And the price is rather cheap to compare with the one we have in the big cities.



A few Malay stalls are selling all this fried kuih, which I can't resist not to eat them. I bough a lot of this kuih.



This is made from fish, and it taste very nice. with 1 buck you can get 5 of those, if eat with the chili sauce it tastes even better. 

A traditional Chinese temple at the very back of the town area. We went in and visited the place.
I'll put up more photos in my next post, cause I also visited the Bekenu beach, and also Batu Niah town.

Cheers,

Wilson

I really like the kuih :)
