Fun Time @ Jong’s Crocodile Farm

-
Last Saturday, I went to Jong’s Crocodile Farm which was located quite far from Kuching. I was looking forward for this trip since few months ago but we just do not have the time to go there. Since, BF need to go to OUM, so, we decide to drop by the farm.


Reaching there around noon time (after being lost for a while), we were a bit shock to see that the entrance fee is RM16 per person. Well, when we asked the person in charge, she asked for our IC. They actually have two types of entrance fee. One is for Sarawakian (RM10) and the other is for non-Sarawakian (Rm16). I’m glad I’m Sarawakian. Hahaha!!!

So, we entered and the first thing that we saw is Iguana. I took some pictures of them. They are so big and green! Hahaha, I think I sound so ‘sakai’ and acted like stupid girl in the whole journey inside this place.

The Garden…

Nothing much about the iguana, so we moved on and enter the little garden next to the Iguana. Guess what.. They have goats!

I expect to see crocodiles in crocodile farm but never in my brain to expect other animals such as goats, chicken, duck and ‘bangau’. Hahaha… Can you imagine that I’m chasing the chicken just to get a close picture of them?

Well, I did chase some of the animals in the garden. There are rabbits, parrots and other birds too. When I get close to the ‘bangau’ cage, they actually make a loud sound to chase me away.

Chickenssssss & Duck ....

The Gallery….

I actually don’t feel like going out from the garden, but we have to move on to other section. The gallery has all sorts of information about all the hunting of crocodiles, pictures of how they killed it and also crocodile’s egg. I took the picture of the eggs and also the surrounding.

When I was reading through some of the information, I glance through a signboard saying “No camera allowed”. Ooppsss, so I put away my camera… for the time being..

Then we went out from the gallery and continue our journey. The first animals after this is squirrel. Can you imagine I spend quite a time just trying to get one nice shot of those squirrel??? They really drive me mad and I was so anxious to snap their photos. Well, all the picture that I took is quite blur. I guess, I need to upgrade to another camera.

After the squirrel, we move on to other animals. There are Otter. However, all of them is sleeping when we pass by.

The First Confession - St. Mark's Church, Batu Kawa

Last Sunday is BF day of signing the "Book of Life" (I think that's what they call it). From the time table list, it is known as the "First Confession" day... Well, I translate directly the meaning since it's in BM. Hehehe... We arrived there at around 9am. Not many people there that time but there are people setting up stall to sell some food after the church service. BF told me that he had not had any breakfast yet and I nag him. Whahahaha! I had to sit separately from BF and dad since I'm not the godfather. Church service starts at 9.30pm. While waiting for the mass, I took pictures all around the church . Are they dreaming?? I took some picture when they signed the book. Well, I'm the only photographer that day. One thing different between St. Mark and my church is that during this kind of occasion is that in my church, there will be more than 1 photographers going all round taking photos or filming the whole occasion. I guess Father Lim like

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

'Ma Li Chai'/'Mani Chai', also known as Cangkuk Manis

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few
