A New Journey
It's been such such such a hectic weekend and it's insane that I didn't even have the time to go online at all. Least to blog.
Anyway, now I'm back in Melaka. I'm preparing my week long trip to Sarawak tomorrow.
Starting with Kuching.
Yay!
sarawak laksa here i come. ermmm
Sarawak readers contact me!! nicootan@gmail.com
I want to explore the Mulu caves, the largest cave (Deer Cave) in the world!
But not sure how to get there and I heard there's going to be a direct flight soon from Kuching to Mulu from Maswing.
Getting through Miri is quite the de-tour and if that's the case, then I rather spend two weeks exploring the whole of Sarawak land by going through each and every city on land. Maybe dropping by Brunei on the way to visit my best buddy.
There's so much to explore (I read about) in Mulu that I'm begining to ponder if I should extend my week long trip into a two weeks hike!
Hey, good work out eh? :p
On another note.
There's a new berry and it's coming to town.
BlackBerry Curve 8520 from Xpax (the first to launch BB service in Malaysia).
Now not sure if I blogged about it before, but since the beginning of Smartphones, I've always wanted a Blackberry phone, and another really intelligent phone which I don't want to talk about it. *cough*
I've read a review here and it looks quite promising. And I heard that the price in Malaysia won't be released till the 25th Sept. So let's wait and see.
If you want, you can pre-register the service at xpax.com.my to keep a look out.

Advisable to go to Mulu via Miri. If you happen to be in Sibu, contact wlimjin@yahoo.com. I would be happy to bring you around. Sibu has nothing much to see but has the best and cheapest food in the whole of Malaysia, I dare to say!
ReplyDeletelol.. i just blogged bout Mulu few days back.. I'm not sure with the direct flight from Kch.. but I flew from Miri. :D
