Day 3 in Kuching

Today I woke up bout 9am and had a butter cake before going out. The plan for the day is to get a baby stroller for Brenda. The sky was grey when we left bout 10am plus. Our first stop for the day is at Anakku to get the baby stroller.

We were there for quite a while as Merlye has to choose the right one and wait for them to fix the new one. Unfortunately, the store person fix up a rejected one without realising. We only realise it when Merlye tested it and found that the button to compress the stroller isn't working.

They then fix another one and thank goodness it is working fine other than the sponge at the handle being torn. Its ok for it isn't that visible and there are ways to hide the ugly part. Merlye wanted to change another unit but that was the last one available besides the display set.

Once settle with the stroller, we went groceries shopping in Teck Kong. It is a small supermarket. We were there for quite a while too for there are so many things there that attract us for it is cheap. I can't believe that I nearly bought the entire shop but I have to control as I have to carry them back to West Malaysia.

I bought some cute tapes to do decorations for cards and other things. The shocking part is I bought 4 plates to be brought home. There are plastic plates with floral design and cost only 99 cents. I just can't resist it. Merlye on the other hand has to shop for things to do a photo album for Brenda and also other daily things to be used at home.

After a happy enjoyment time, it was lunch time and we head off to have lunch. Lunch was simple but delicious. When we reached the shop, I realise that all the cars park there do not park in one parking lot but two parking lot. What I know is there is no rules for driving. Since the place we head for lunch is a popular place, parking was a problem but my dear friend, Merlye is good at parking ^_^ After staying in Kuching for about a year, she inherited their trades. She did double parking -_-"

 

Once the car is park, we went into the shop and ordered our lunch. We had curry rice with chicken, pork, egg and bittergout with egg. I was surprise as the bittergout isn't bitter and it was delicious. The curry is also fantastic. I can not get that curry back in Kuala Lumpur. After feeling content, we head off to Indian street to get cloth.

Merlye bought 2 beautiful cloth to be used as a baby carrier. If you are wondering what sort of baby carrier, it is a sarong where you tie a sarong over your shoulder and carry the baby. Once done with that, we went to Parkson to get a toy for Brenda.

While heading to Parkson, I saw this cute "cats" at a area and was tempted to take a picture there. After parking in Parkson, we head off to get the musical toy for Brenda first then walk out to take a picture with the cats. I feel embarass for no one was taking their picture there besides me. I have to have a picture with cats since I went to Kuching ^_^



Once done there, we went to buy some pastries back for tea. After getting some pastries, we drop in to the hospital where Brenda was born as Merlye has to collect her maternity leave slip to hand in to her boss. Once the MC is collected, we went to the phamarcy to buy some iron sodium tablets (I think) before we head back home.

It was a tiring day as we were running about. When we reach home, we change the extension plug that was not working in her kitchen with the new one we just bought and arrange the things that Merlye bought home. We than relax at home till Greoffrey came home. When he came home, it was dinner time.

Merlye's mother-in-law cooked dinner and it was delicious and filling. I can't imagine how full I feel. She also gave me some tips on how to cook and keep a healthy life-style. She advice me not to eat and cook too oily, saltish or sweet food. I think I have to come again to learn from her her cooking skills as she learn cooking before ^_^

 

After dinner I help out with the clearing up before sitting down and relax. It was a fun night in-door as we didn't go out at night. It is quiet and very relaxing. I felt tired too and was not up to go out so it was cool just to stay home ^_^ Besides that, I have to start packing as I'm flying back to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow.

I feel sad that I'm leaving but I would be coming back to visit again another time and for a longer time. This time i do not have that much time but in future I would have ^_^
