Guess what, I just got a free ‘Apple Pie‘ in this Raya. 

Starting on today (30 September) 6pm onwards, Switch (Cg Computers) gives away ‘Apple Pie‘ for any mac users who own macbook or iMac keyboard. Apple Pie is a silicon-based keyboard protector skin and worths RM59. It is only limited to 50 ‘Apple Pie‘ per outlet The promotion ends at 5th October.

Wait a minute, did i say RM59? Gosh, I seriously don’t believe it worths so shitty price, 60BUCK!!! And I think I was the first guy who get it in my local Switch, @ tHe Spring, Kuching.

Anyway, SELAMAT HARI RAYA

Yesterday I had just been to this Cats Exhibition @ tHe Spring, Kuching. This event started from 6th Sept until 7th Sept, which is today, from roughly 11am until 8pm according to the schedule. It will be on the ‘North Court‘ @ tHe Spring.

It is rather a short event, but it is quite interesting. There are ton of different type of cats, such as exotic type and also wildcats, such as Persian. They are all kept inside a small little cage, what a pity. Ton of people taking pictures of the cute exotic cats. Not only that, you are allowed to carry those cats with a price (of course).

The activity not just for ‘showing off‘ those cats to the public but to bring public awareness that caring for the animals, not only for cats alone. There are some group of people giving some speech regarding how to care cats and etc. Sadly I only manage to take one shot of the wildcat. The wildcats are usually huge, can be said similar size like baby tiger (cub). This wildcat is called, Maine Coon, not Moon Maine. [Thanks to the commentor, HORATIO for the correcting the name]

Speaking about moon, moon cake festival or formally, ‘Mid-Autumn Festival‘ is just around the corner. There are few stall sell moon cake @ tHe Spring, on the center of it. By the way, they selling durian favor as well, the smell is darn strong.

Lastly, HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL EVERYONE.

Yesterday (9th July), there was a sneak preview of RainForest in two places, tHe Spring and Boulevard. I went to tHe Spring instead. The event started at 7pm until 9pm.

The Rainforest World Music Festival is an annual 3-day music festival celebrating the diversity of “world music” formerly known as ethnic music held in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, that consists of cultural and musical workshop-oriented daytime events and the more concert-like music performances during the night. - wiki

I only managed to catch the Indian performers (Oikyataan). Honestly, this is not my cup of tea. I was at there around 7pm but the event had not yet started. It was not so crowded in that time. Sadly I didn’t manage to catch sweet girls Kan’id performs. The girls are just great.

In fact, I planned to go to RainForest, but it turned out that my friends not so willing to go. Maybe next year. This year (2008) performers are Ross Daly Quartet (Greece), Kasai Masai (Congo/UK), Hiroshi Motofuji (Japan), Oikyataan (India), Cholo Valderamma (Colombia), New Rope String Band (UK), Yakande (Gambia/Guinea), Pinikpikan (Philipppines), Adel Salameh (Palestine), Fadomorse (Portugal), Beltaine (Poland), Sheldon Blackman & The Love Circle (Trinidad & Tobago), Orchestra Anak Jati Bisaya (Sarawak, Malaysia), Sarawak Cultural Village (SeniDa), Kan’id (Sarawak), AKASHA (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) and TUKU KAME (Sarawak). A total of 16 confirmed performers will be in Rainforest World Music Festival on July 11 to 13.

Last couple of months ago, Kuching just had a so-called-donuts shop, Big Apple. It was very popular especially in the KL (Kuala Lumpur) there. It was superb-duperb packed/crowded. Big Apple (Donuts & Coffee) is opened in tHe Spring, again. As usual, it is superb packed with those desperate people. *nah, i weren’t one of them*

I went there because of my sister, after watching Phua Chu Kang performances. Thanks to her, I waited for like 15minutes. Hell yeah~!!! *If I’m not mistaken, that day was a week or so since it opens* The below is a list of the donuts available.. Yummy

Donuts are selling like hot cakes, oops hot donuts. The staff are hell busy like bees. Hmm, reminds me of ‘Bee movie‘, it is a great 3D animation movie and with great humor.

Sadly, Big Apple is a very small place. It is not like ‘Starbucks‘, where you can sit down and enjoy your meal or drinks. Not all donuts are nice to eat. Some i feel ‘kena’ cheated by the cool name given. Fark~!

Below is what I have bought. As you can see, the left hand side are yummy, whereas right hand side are worst and yucks, especially that ‘Pink Panther‘

I came, I saw and I stepped in… Boulevard and tHe Spring

City of Cats has been doomed by those two huge Malls (Boulevard and tHe Spring). Boulevard is located at 3 and half miles or Jalan Penrissen, whereas tHe Spring is located at the Simpang Tiga or Kenyalang area. This entry will be talking more on Boulevard or “Fu Li Hua” in Chinese.
