Ok la mama tgh kumpul mood nk update pasal citer kitaorg kat Sarawak aritue.

KIV dulu citer raya kitaorg sbb gambo pun blum transfer lagi from camera..:)

Ok Lets continue...Waktu di Kuching sejam lebih awal daripada waktu kita kat sini.. so kat sana kol 7 pg dah terang dah..Lepas terjaga dr tidur yang lena then kitaorg trn gie breakfast. Ramai gak org check in hotel nih..Breakfast dia best..byk choices makanan..roti canai favourite atok and Ira pun ade..so mmg best ler diorg..

 Pagi di Hotel Grand Marghareta

 Having our breakfast

 Mak Long

Masa tgh amek dishes kat ctu, for first time in my live mama jumpa lemang betawi..rupe dia cm lemang biasa tapi color hijau and rasanya cm ade campuran rempah2 sket..not bad.

Then kitaorg naik bilik and bersiap utk our next destination. Ira & hana sempat lg berendam dalam batch tub..dah kena air mcm x mo kuar bilik air lak derang.. 

Maklumla bukan selalu jumpa bath tub kan.. 

   Sesi berendam..enjoy bebeno anak dara

 sementara tggu sume org bersiap

 dalam lemari pun nak main

Dalam pukul 10am kami gerak to Cultural village. Cultural village ni salah satu tempat wajib visit lau dtg Kuching. Memang best sbb dapat tgk dari dekat kebudayaan and masyarakat di bumi Sarawak. Mama igt lagi kat situ la kasut baby Hana tertinggal masa dok khusyuk tgk cultural kat ctu..masa our previous visit.


Time to jenjalan is started..

 Ira & Hana is ready utk jenjalan

 atok khusyuk memerhati bandar kuching yg pertama kali dijejaki

 Opah di Petrajaya

 On our way to Cultural village 
Sungai Santubong if mama x silap

 Ayah Chik dukung Ira yg tgh tdo nak catch shuttle

Perjalanan from bandar Kuching ke Santubong where Cultural Village is located mengambil masa lebih kurang 40 minit driving. This time kitaorg x masuk pun sbb cm tak berbaloi.. Nak tau sebab ape..sebab date yg kitaorg berada di Kuching tue tgh berlangsung Rainforest World Musical Festival kat situ..so entrance fee dia double compare to normal days..huhu.. since Opah & Atok ckp membazir..so kitaorg agree pose kat pintu entrance je. 

Lps tu kitaorang explore damai sentral (opposite cultural village). Since ade event so keta x bole masuk trs ke Cultural village..kitaorg kn naik van or shuttle but kn bayar rm5 for adult and rm3 for kids..Yang tensen nak parking keta jauh so kena la menapak to catch the shuttle.. 

 Sefamily depan Cultural Village

 The girls

Jalan2 kat damai sentral not bad...mama rs masa our previous visit xde lg kewujudan damai sentral nih..dulu kitaorg check in damai beach resort. best gak..amek angin pantai..

this time plan awalnye is nak check in sana gak or damai puri..but sume dah full house sbb ade nya rain forest festival tu la..huk huk..wrong timing betoii..

 

 heading ke fav port at Damai Central

 Dapat pow Mak Long ..beli kucing sekor menan
and Ira dan Hana sepakat namakan dia Fegero

 Mama, kakak & Fergero

 Opah and cucus

On the way back to Kuching town kitaorg singgah masjid negeri sempat lurus pinggang.. Hana pun excited nk solat.. xde telekong kanak-kanak kat sana so terpaksala mama guna creativity nak kasik Hana ikut semayang..

Mmg best hotel nih..mmg letak betoi2 tepi Sungai Sarawak and Waterfront...Perasan percutian ala2 org kaya..wokeh..:)

Before decide nak stay sini mama dptkan buah fikiran Acik Nani sbb Acik nani br je g Kuching last year so fresh memory lagi. Actually mama confuse nak buat pilihan whether Grand Margherita and Riverside Majestic. Thanks to Acik Nani..pilihanmu sememangnye tepat... Owesome pendek kata hehe..

Family Trip 2013 :Kuching ~ Day 1

Salam Ramadhan sumer..br sempat nk ucap kat sini even dah masuk hari ke 11 semua umat Islam berpuasa..Lama pause mengupdate blog mama nih.. Sementara ade kelapangan and mood utk mencoret baik mama trskan. Lau dak sure x bergerak update kat sini..

So mama nak sambung update psl kitaorg nye trip aritue di Kuching. 

Date : 28 June 2013

Venue : KLIA, Kuching International Airport and Grand Marghareta Hotel  

Our flight was on at nite so mama was on halfday leave aritue. Since this time kitaorg fly dengan MAS Airlines so senang sket nk pegi airport.  Kitaorg catch ERL naik dkt Putrajaya Sentral jer then trs sampai KLIA.

 on our way to KLIA

This is my second time fly with MAS so cm peghak sket la..haha. First time was during 2005 masa outstation pegi Pahang masa keja ngan IKCM. Mmg rezki sebab sume pun maklum MAS kan berlipat kali ganda mahal compare to Air Asia lau nk pergi mana2.. 

 our luggage before reached Kuching, 

saje snap nak compare after balik nanti

Our flight was at 8.50pm. Masa nk masuk perut pesawat Ira & Hana yg excited..dah lama dah derang nak naik kapal terbang...(mcm la x prnh kan..haha).This time kitaorg x payah panjat tangga sbb lau naik MAS pintu gate tu trs disambung ke pesawat. Masuk dlm pesawat we are greeted by beautiful and handsome stewards and stewardess. MAS ni mmg mengutamakan kanak2. Masa Ira & hana on their way to theirs seat they have been stopped by one of the stewardess to give them blanket and small pillow..weeeee.. :) Selesa sgt kan.. 

 dua org kanak-kanak yang excited nak naik kapal terbang

 The flight on time..Ira & Hana dah x sabar nk terbang.. Once the flight dah stable and lampu dah buka then we are served with our dinner...as usual kid first so Ira ngan Hana dpt dulu..kitaorg orang2 dewasa ni tggu turn ikut seat..keke. Not bad the food kenyang.. alhamdulillah.. 

 Blanket & small pillow for kids 

 We all dlm flight 

Hana tukar tempat duduk sbb nak main ngan kakak..

 Mak Long and opah

Reading le kunun

Kitaorg touched down kat Kuching International Airport at 10.35pm. Masa nk lepasi kaunter Imegresen kitaorg lepak2 dulu sebab sgt la long queue. Masa tu mama call our rental car. Hana (012-8952003). Org nye very friendly and easy to work with...Dia dah tggu kitaorg kat arrival hall.. Siap provide us GPS kot.. mmg sgt membantu sbb kitaorg mmg x tau sgt kan jalan2 kat area Kuching tue.. Sesiapa nk dapatkan rental car di Kuching, Hana ni mmg mama highly recommended..

While waiting for Imegresen Kaunter queue clear sket

 ader story nape mak long ayu berbaju kurung travel to Kuching..haha

 

Lps setel urusan sewa keta semua then kitaorg headed to our hotel, Grand Marghareta. Cam percutian org kaya2 je kan gaya nye. Check in hotel ala2 5 star gitew.. Masa check in tu aritue dah dkt kol 11pm..and unlucky kitaorg tak dpt room yg mama dah book yg connecting door. As compensation, pihak hotel upgraded our room to executive suite with the same price. Cuma bilik Ayah,mama, Ira & Hana and the rest of the family members jauh sket la..merentasi wing..but ok jer..sbb kat executive suite level tu ade staff yang duty in between..cm ala2 officer dok dpn lift..

 Alhamdulillah..upgraded so x de la kuciwa sgt..
 

 Our room, nnt mama citer lagi..malas dah nk tepek gmbo..huhu

 Masuk je bilik..woww.... sgt2 puas hati. Dapat lak room facing Sungai Sarawak and Waterfront.. mmg speechless...alhamdulillah rezki mak n abah.. Lps tukar bj tdo sume then ape lagi.. its landing and sleep time.. 

Ok la sampai ctu dulu update for our Day 1 in Kuching..x lama pun..sbb travel malam..agak rugi la bayo hotel tp check in malam..tp mama ok jer..mama ade discount bombastic nyer..sbb tu x terkilan sgt..:) Nanti mama share psl bilik kitaorg.

 

Till then happy weekend and selamat menjalani ibadah puasa

Semoga Ramadhan thn ini lebih baik drp tahun2 sebelumnya

..ameeen..
