(tipsy) weekend in Kuching

Last May, Angel and Alex decided to organize their bachelor and bachelorette party (yes they combined, they trend setter like that) in KUCHING! Sorry this post is a year late. 

I've always backhanded local Malaysia destinations as any possible "party destination" because. Maybe it's the cheap drinks, but honestly there's nothing cheap about here in Malaysia. BUT, fun destinations can be anything but just that!



Mc & Abigail did the incredible job of getting this gorgeous bungalow / villa which fit all 15 of us! It was so beautifully done, lots of plants, open kitchen space which I appropriated for a place to concoct the lihing (local Sarawakian alcohol) cocktail, giant Game of Thrones inspired dining table, airy and natural light space.

There were three rooms, two rooms with their own toilet and another on the ground floor next to the bath and toilet. 

Kuching in a nutshell >
    

I was very, very sick that weekend. That in this tumultuous time, if I were to be around people I would have been sprayed with sanitizer. But I insisted on coming, because my Angel is getting married and this one last hurrah is a NEED 👻 This place called theCharcoal is within the city vicinity, and probably about 5 - 10 minutes drive to the city.

What happened after two days of straight hedonism was about four months long of immune crash for me. I couldn't stop coughing, I x ray my lungs and true enough I have developed an almost infected lungs. Months later I had to rebuilt, by resting well, decent eating and exercise. It was not cool but, the weekend was absolutely worth it 😎 #ISaidIt

The first night I arrived, we decided to have a house party. A few of them were there two days or a night earlier. That night, with some cocktails and drinks popping out from nowhere made it all kinds of fun. Played games including the kings cup (which somehow turned into a truth session but of course) and lots of dancing around a bluetooth speaker lol.

The next night, we went BAR HOPPING!! This was SO MUCH FUN. It made Kuching an absolutely legit party place (maybe because also Brandon had a table reserved for us right in front of the live music 😍😍😍). The bars in Kuching are so cool, and they're almost interconnected with each other.

We partied until 5am the next day, with my flight at 9am LOL. Don't worry, I manage to get into the airplane.



Love,
Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none?  As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself  "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun...

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with.   Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important.    If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus...

One Night at Manukan Island at Sutera Sanctuary Lodge

We were supposed to go somewhere for Jessy's birthday, I wasn't quite sure how we decided on the island, but that was a pretty sweet decision. By day, the island was brimming with tourists and families, but by evening as the sun sets colouring the sky, it becomes a quiet isolation and absolutely stunning to enjoy an evening walk by. If you ever had the chance to stay overnight in a small island, please try it. We stayed at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges, cost us about RM 500nett for three of us. We woke up slightly earlier around 9am to enjoy the beach and swim when no one was there yet. Well Jessy did the swimming. I had a wedding to keep my tan lines even the week after so I kinda hid from the sun 😌 The unit though, almost chalet like was quite huge! The bathroom itself felt like an entire unit, with unique tiles that go right up to the top. Very luxurious. And. it. has. windows. looking. out. the. room! Each unit has its own balcony, which makes a perfect place ...
