Revisiting Satok


NO lands!! Ahh!!! finally!!

After weeks and weeks of the kids asking - when are we gonna take that plane ride back to Kuching as promised - we are finally there. Wheww!!

Looking forward to a great break, the whole month has been hectic...up to the last moment...at 3am, the day of the drive to JB, was still with Mama at her office completing some stuff!

The kids spent some tome with cousins Danial, Durra & Danish...and now they are fast asleep after spending the whole afternoon playing with cousins Ika, Waiz & Aizat....


Then, I had the opportunity to revisit Satok after a year....here's some of the shots I managed to compose....and I found a speck of particle in the photos at certain setting, cannot see it on the CCD though..ishhkk...tensi!

The infamous stretch just before the Tun Abd Rahman's Bridge - Satok is the place to be for visitors & locals to search for decent serving of local delicacies.

This is very unique business...only during the month of Ramadhan you can buy carpets & rugs here, the rest of the year, it is actually a cafe.
