A Gallivanting Break to Kuching
Thanks to one Kenny Sia, both Mel and I went to Kuching last weekend to witness the official launch of Kuching’s largest fitness center, Level-Up Fitness. I also took the opportunity to contact a few bloggers, actually just 3 – Cyril, Willie and Seth. I just could not recall the bloggers who reside in Kuching, except those 3 dudes, and of course, Cyril’s other half, Amiey.
Level Up Fitness Launch in Kuching with Kenny Sia
I was also lucky that I bumped into Stephanie Chai who was tad too tall that she had to lower herself to be at my height level. Doh! Now I know how Frodo feels.

Kenny Sia is a great guy, very down-to-earth I must say and a person you can easily get along with. With the launch of his new fitness centre, we decided not to disturb his schedule and wandered around Kuching with the help of Seth.
Kenny Sia's Infectious Smile
We had dinner at Top Spot, which was considerably cheap compared to the prices in KL. I was expecting a price of RM200+, but had to contain my surprise when the bill was RM109 for 7 of us. It was certainly not a condescending reaction as we never heard of such prices in the Klang Valley!
Kuching Bloggers Mini-Gathering
This was a really mini gathering, simply because it was impromptu and I didn’t do research on Sarawak bloggers beforehand. I did bump into with Clare and Irene at Level Up Fitness though, thanks to the million photos on this blog, I’m easily recognizable. We informally talked about a potential Sarawak Bloggers Gathering in 2010 and I hope I have the time to help make this a reality.

Seth, pictured in the photo above, was our official Kuching guide. From breakfast, to souvenir-shopping, to having a Guinness at 3pm enjoying the cooling downpour, to bowling. We are extremely grateful that he chilled with us. I’m looking forward to meeting up with him in December.
Gallivanter Got Pimped by Bolts!
The photo above was the ONLY exciting thing that transpired on top of that hill that had the cat museum, officially the most waste of space museum in Malaysia, though I’m sure some will argue otherwise. A definite drain of taxpayers money, plus the fact that I hate cats didn’t help either.
The Kuching Bollywood Pose
Well, I think I got my Bollywood pose right, can’t say much about my better half. All in all, it was a great trip to Kuching and I hope to visit in the next year if the Sarawak Bloggers Gathering, well, gathers pace.
Aiseh.. RM109 is cheap? I thought it was kind of high. I think those guys at the restaurant slashed our hand sikit-sikit when they knew we had guest. Next time, I’m asking Seth on a better place to eat.. he’s the expert.
Anyway, it was glad to have you guys in Kuching, and did you know, in previous years.. Irene was heavily involved in organising bloggers gathering in Kuching? I think, if we cook things up properly, we could get a formidable team up.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA omg, Kuching Bollywood Pose hahahahaha aduh, pecah perut.
Anyways, we miss ya guys at SBG 2009 ;_;
It was nice meeting you guys here Dan… and it was very damn nice spending time with you guys… remember not to be a stranger when you are here in Kuching again!
Kuching like my 2nd home before because my ex was there. But compare to Sabah, Kuching is more hotter. The foods also quiet expensive there but what i like about Kuching, they have a sex-toys shop in Batu Kawah. They cal it condom shop. hahahaha..Anyway miss ya dude for being not around during the SBG2009
Whoa, a holiday
Have fun 
Top Spot is considered expensive already. Nowadays they target to slash tourists from outside of Kuching. There are other cheaper options though.
Bad timing, Daniel, I wasn’t around then. Hehe! Next time maybe? I’ll force you to eat live sago worms
Nice meeting you at the gym Dan!
Glad you had a smashing time
.
@ the last picture of your Indian movie pose – Did your better say you smell?
haha.
Nice trip you had there in Kuching. I guess many bloggers blogged about the fitness center. It is really big as can tell from the photos.
wah..so nice, I was still having my ‘long-holiday’ that time.
Cool…glad u love kuching. Miaw miaw come again yeah?
Nice to meet you and Emelda even though didn’t have the chance to hang out longer. Didn’t expect to meet u at Level Up.
Cyril – Nice one, let’s re-visit this early next year. I’m keen to make this happen, like how I did with the Sabahan Bloggers Gathering in 2007.
massy – Amacam, ada gaya ka? Yeah, we couldn’t attend, maybe the next one.
amieyalen – Me stranger no more with you and Cyril.
Aj – Food expensive in Kuching? Really? Yeah, sorry we couldn’t attend, just had other stuff to do, like visiting Kuching!
Nick Phillips – Yes, more like past-tense.
Clare – But Topspot for me is cheap. I got fleeced in KK before, prawns alone RM270 for 4 pax! Some drama food court near Sedco. See ya in KL?

CK – Kenny’s on the right path for sure, and he has our support!
lvynana – Next time kio?
willie – Yes, and next time, I’ll visit your family if boleh.
