In the shade

Today the weather was extremely hot. While fospa was busy gardening, I was busy supervising from under the shade.

Cats For Thought

Funny thing. Humans find it very difficult to move in or out of their modes of thinking. Here's a catsy way of doing it.

First, Mama Daisy illustrates what is meant by ' Thinking Outside the Box'.

Secondly, I show ' How to think inside the box'.

Note: Whoever attempts to follow the above modes of thinking the catsy way, do at their own peril. Happy Trying.

More Pictures of Sibu

On this 12th trip back to Kuching, while having a pit stop at Sibu our fospa was busy walking around the town to snap more pictures of Sibu. Below are some:

A Trishaw still in used to carry goods.

The Sibu Multi-Storey Car Park looking more like a corporate building or a bank!

CU of live poultry wrapped in newspapers. A practice peculiarly Sibu.

The Sibu waterfront scene . Here long express boats are moored at the pontoon wharves.

12th Trip back Kuching

How we travell?

Mama Daisy like to sleep most of the time when travelling these days.

My favourite seat is the jump seat.

OOps1 I'm caught on candid camera!

Sibu town and its attractions

Speed boats waiting for passengers.

We stopped for lunch at Sibu town, after a three hours journey from Bintulu. Our favourite rest area is the Sibu Multi-Storey Car Park area. It is a big complex that includes the Sibu Central Market.

Sibu Central Market

At the Sibu Central Market, live poultry are wrapped in newspapers for easy weighing and carrying home if you decide to buy one just in case.

On this trip, the Sarawak rural landscape was washed with golden yellow and ochre because it's harvesting time. All along the highway to Kuching the Ibans are the main cultivators of paddy, be it the hill padi or the wet padi. In the distant as can be seen in the picture above are Iban longhouses.

What??

I saw this one morning. It is really a wonderful camouflage. The toad seemed part of the ground. And what frightening eyes??!! But they are at the back!!

So this black cat came to visit us one day. It's a tomcat. But I was scared stiff to play with him.

However, fospa was generous and gave him a heavy lunch, which made him sleep very soundly later. Must have been very hungry before he popped at the back door!!!

We arrived Bintulu at 7.30 pm.

On this 12th trip to Bintulu, we add another 600 km to our record, thus our cumulative record now stands at 13,800 km.

Getting ready

In Kuching this time around. I'm now 1 year 1 month old. Today I was told that soon we'll be on the road again . The trip is planned on the 3rd of March. My foster parent's daughter will join in the trip. Here she plays with my paw. And I kind of like it too.
