The Mystical Myth : Sylph of Kuching

Have you ever wonder how the Sylph of Kuching looks like? Well, in the mythology of Western tradition, a Sylph is actually a fairy of the wind.

So, the question is : Is there really Sylph in Kuching?

My answer? NO! =_=”

But why do I say Sylph of Kuching? Well, there’s actually 2 very famous cave in Kuching which named “Fairy Cave” and “Wind Cave”. When fairy and wind meets, they become Sylph lor!! (I know I’m lame lar -_-“)

So here goes the adventure! 1st stop, we go to the "Wind Cave" which is some where near Bau, Kuching.

The cave was hidden inside a thick forest!

Once you go into the entrance, you'll find a few Bidahyu's traditional buildings serving as service counter and resting hut.

There's an entrance fee of RM3.00 per person to visit the cave. They also rent torches to visitors because it's very dark inside the cave.

Well, it's not as interesting as expected because there's not much to see in the DARK -_-"

A small dim of light in the cave

bats!! but Batman is not here -_-"

hmm.....this looks very familiar... -_-"
(there's water droplets at the tip too!! :P)

Since there's not much to see and it's quite slippery, we decided to head on to the "Fairy Cave" which is another 10km away from Wind cave. Entrance is free of charge and they are opened daily.

The cave is located just in front of a big paddy field. The view was amazing!

We were stunned when we reach the entrance of the cave!

It's TALLLLLLLLLL! (exclaimed Egg)
You have to walk up the stairs before reaching the cave!

While climbing the stairs, I found this red spider! it looks kind of poisonous @_@ Egg almost touched it accidentally but luckily she managed to escape!

Other than this poisonous looking spider, we even saw Spiderman!

A rock climber actually -_-" (damn lame =_=)


the main entrance of the cave

It was quite dark inside so Egg surrendered and wait outside the cave while I venture into the cave with my other friends.

There's a very steep wooden stairs inside the cave when you'll reach another end of the cave after getting up the stairs. Once you reach the inner part of the cave, you can see a stunning view of the cave. It's just gorgeous! Here's some of the picture I took.

stairways were built inside the cave for visitors

Lot's of visitors

We met this funny boy when we were visiting Wind cave and we travelled together to Fairy cave! He's very talkative! keep asking "why? why? why?" haha! His dad have to be a professor to answer all his questions -_-"

After a long day being a "cave man" we went to Waterfront for a "sampan ride" and experience the atmosphere of a Malay Village during the 1st day of Raya.

I guess that's all for today! :D

As usual, we want to share something rare when we went to Fairy cave. If you have Insectophobia, please don't look at the picture below!

Flies were all around the car!! (not ours of course -_-")
Maybe the car were being left there for too long until it went bad (chao sngui - hokkien)

Hope you get some idea of how these cave looks like after reading this post. All these caves were open daily but only during day times. Here's a reminder, if you're going to these caves, do bring along your own torch ( a brighter one) and wear shoes instead of slipper cos it's slippery during rainy days.

snoozing off now! >_<>

Journey to Serikin

As a Sarawakian, I’ve never been to Serikin myself, but the strange thing is, all my friends from KL knows that place and it’s their “must go” destination when they come to Kuching!

So for the sake of my Sarawakian pride, Egg and I set our journey to Serikin accompanied by Egg’s mom, erm..just call her Eggmom will do -_-“


Wonder where Serikin is? It’s actually a small village located at the boarder of Sarawak and Kalimantan, Indonesia. It’s famous for it’s “cheap” handy crafts and dried foods.


We started off our journey from the town of Kuching around 9 a.m. It took us around 45 minutes to reach the town in Bau.


Since it’s still early, we took a short walk around Bau and had our breakfast there.

A temple in the middle of the street! Maybe Bau's people practised their prayer in their car? -_-

Bau is just a small town with few roles of shop houses and an infamous “tasik biru” where it used to be a GOLD MINE! I never thought there were gold in Kuching -_-“


We continued our journey after the short walk and reached Serikin in about 35 minutes. It was totally packed with cars. They even charged us parking fees as much as RM2.00 (Kuching's standard parking fees for "the Spring shopping mall" and "Boulevard Hypermarket")

Without wasting any time, we head straight into the market! :>

Many things are being sold here! It ranges from food to handy crafts and even creatures? =_="

Sea shells

Local chips

Cinnamons

Dried squids

Rattan furnitures

Rattan rocking horse?

Infamous "POP" drinks! I never try them though -_-

Key chains

Nike and Adidas wears (RM15 each)

leeches!

Leeches were used to make these leech oil which the local believe that it can strengthen Man's *ehem! I never tried and I never would -_-"

Gold found in "Tasik Biru"? Nah! Just some fake gold -_-"

We left Serikin after we had bought our stuff and then we head to Eggmom's old house somewhere in Batu Kitang (a pretty remote area)

It is actually a convenient store for the locals since the 1930's. Well, it still serve it's purpose until today :)

We were served by Egg's aunties with these unique soft drinks! HOLA!
I thought it extinct a long long time ago >_<

Well, that's all from our journey today :D If you can't find Serikin, please DON'T ask us because we almost got ourselves lost along the way -_-" LOL!!

To end this post, here's something very interesting when we were in Batu Kitang.

This little girl was actually holding a Malaysia Flag and repeatedly exclaiming "SATU MALAYSIA!"

This somehow shows that Najib's Satu Malaysia concept was widely accepted by Malaysians even in the rural area!

Well done! SATU MALAYSIA!! *ehem..
