We have been planning on going there since the end of last year. The trip is a 5 days 4 nights trip which is very refreshing and relaxing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We paid RM85 for the cab since the resort is in Santubong, not in the city. It is a nice resort with friendly and helpful staffs. Actually we only booked the deluxe room, however, due to technical reasons, our booked room was not available, so we were upgraded to the Executive Junior which is way more spacious and nice. We spent our time chilling out and just enjoying the views around the hotel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDoMLEC9ct4q-Ur9CfPFF09drXicXS-_NseKrazZc7J1zHyLDMF8KCUAwDjaeyk_8INC5BsqQ9bTg4OBi8fC8_iqzM-TOQS9csZMRkAkPlIEc64GyYvG6LFyz4JunQkXrjioLa0M0WhsQ5/s1600/damai+puri.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;171&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDoMLEC9ct4q-Ur9CfPFF09drXicXS-_NseKrazZc7J1zHyLDMF8KCUAwDjaeyk_8INC5BsqQ9bTg4OBi8fC8_iqzM-TOQS9csZMRkAkPlIEc64GyYvG6LFyz4JunQkXrjioLa0M0WhsQ5/s320/damai+puri.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;At night, we had dinner at Elements, one of the resort&#39;s restaurants. The food and service was not up to our expectations since this is a high end resort. Nevertheless, we didn&#39;t complain and just enjoy it as much as we can :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Day 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We ordered room service since our room didn&#39;t come with breakfast. The portion is quite large since we shared 1 plate and didn&#39;t feel hungry after that. We then walked to Sarawak Cultural Village which is within a walking distance from the resort. We tried some activities there including shooting darts using a blowpipe. We had a nice lunch at the cafe there. Not&amp;nbsp;expensive&amp;nbsp;at all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;There are two sessions of cultural shows showcasing the traditional dances of the tribes in Sarawak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;One old aunty even pulled me from my seat to dance the traditional Malay dance with her! We had an enjoyable time at the cultural village.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We&amp;nbsp;cancelled&amp;nbsp;our plan to go to Kuching since it started to rain and just head back to the resort. It rained till about 6 pm and then we decided to have dinner at the hotel. This time, we chose the second restaurant at the resort which served&amp;nbsp;Asian&amp;nbsp;cuisine. Ku is the name of that restaurant. We enjoyed the dinner so much that night. The place was practically empty and we had the restaurant to ourselves. The waitress&amp;nbsp;served&amp;nbsp;a plate of prawn crackers with&amp;nbsp;pineapple dipping that tasted superb as our appetiser.&amp;nbsp;The serving size of our main course is HUGE, my husband barely able to finish his food. It&#39;s a good thing we didn&#39;t order any&amp;nbsp;appetisers&amp;nbsp;or dessert. &amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;waitress&amp;nbsp;is so nice and friendly. I would give two thumbs up for this place and the chef. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://steaklady.blogspot.com/feeds/8542867021409620073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://steaklady.blogspot.com/2010/07/memorable-trip-to-kuching.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4266473248978363623/posts/default/8542867021409620073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4266473248978363623/posts/default/8542867021409620073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steaklady.blogspot.com/2010/07/memorable-trip-to-kuching.html' title='Memorable trip to Kuching'/><author><name>Norm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02221239918877857063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDoMLEC9ct4q-Ur9CfPFF09drXicXS-_NseKrazZc7J1zHyLDMF8KCUAwDjaeyk_8INC5BsqQ9bTg4OBi8fC8_iqzM-TOQS9csZMRkAkPlIEc64GyYvG6LFyz4JunQkXrjioLa0M0WhsQ5/s72-c/damai+puri.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266473248978363623.post-4225837272971958595</id><published>2010-07-09T15:51:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-07-09T17:36:14.796+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="introduction"/><title type='text'>Welcome to my blog</title><content type='html'>It has been a long time since I first created this blog. However during that time, I haven&#39;t been inspired to write or post anything here. The MBI (Memperkukuh Bahasa Inggeris) course had bring back my memory about this blog. And here I am, writing for the first time on my blog. Thank you Mr . Cheng for the inputs during that course which made me glide my fingers away on the keyboard writing this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here&#39;s bits and pieces about myself which I would like to share. I am a teacher by profession and has been stationed at Hulu Perak for the last 4 years. I love cooking, travelling and reading :). However due to my &quot;busy&quot; life, I cant recall when&#39;s the last time I read a book for pleasure. Already have been married to a very nice man for quite some time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hopefully my blogging will not end here and will continue for a long time.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://steaklady.blogspot.com/feeds/4225837272971958595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://steaklady.blogspot.com/2010/07/welcome-to-my-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4266473248978363623/posts/default/4225837272971958595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4266473248978363623/posts/default/4225837272971958595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steaklady.blogspot.com/2010/07/welcome-to-my-blog.html' title='Welcome to my blog'/><author><name>Norm</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02221239918877857063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
