Of more from kuching!

We stayed at a friends place last night, a colleague of my mum's. Her house is damn cool! She's got three dogs!!! Ling Ling, Liang Liang both 10 months and Joey (not Korea Joe, eh Joe if your reading this lets go out for dinner soon!) 10 years old, Joey is the more lembek one but he guides the two younger ones and doesn't lick that much.

Brother with Ling Ling and Liang Liang

Check out brother here playing with them.

Joey

and Joey, my fav. with the cool ruffled fur and garang looking eyes.

Anyway the house is real cool with the three dogs and the irritating fighting cock next door. They also have two starfruit trees, one mango tree and an asparagus garden. And they have illegal satellite television!

All we have at home in singapore is a little pot of basil and a miserable expensive starhub cable tv subscription plan (and i used to own to teraphins and a two hamsters). You know for 1600rm you can get the illegal television heaven that receives al-jazeraah? no shite okay, its a damn nice channel with bbc standards and they don't televise bin laden all the time. Its sometimes about kids in British Islamic kindergartens and muslim comedians. Really good stuff.

but i digressed, back to the trip. So we stayed at the place so that we could leave early in the morning (4am when the irritating cock crows) on two jeeps to visit the sarawak kalimantan border, where the indonesians and natives would come out and sell their local produce, which was an eye opener. We saw weird stuff prepared in weird ways (weird like the way tiffany says it). and the good thing is we looked liked the only foreigners there.

Pitcher Plant rice

Pitcher plant rice. I always thought it was poisonous, but everyone eats it here, its like loh mai kai without the chicken.

Grubs!!!

Everyone eats this too. mixed with some deep fried something. Their still moving, its weird to grab a grub, it has this weird dry skin that moves. How the heack people can stomach this i dunnoe, but i heard it's considered a delicacy by the natives.

and no, i didn't have the balls or drunkeness in the wee hours of the morning to try it.

Tongkat Ali

mother huge TONGKAT ALI!!!!

with free samples. And again no, errrrrrrr.....this time unlike the grubs, i had the balls not to take it..hur hur hur

Vegetable Seller

very shy fruit seller.
