Kim's Sarawak Trip 砂拉越游记 - Sibu & Kuching 2014

Kim's Sarawak Trip

这趟旅程是一时冲动订购机票而成行的。前三天呆在诗巫的朋友家,让她们领着我们趴趴走,这地方没有什么特色景点,所以几乎一整天都在吃喝打发时间,肠胃也撑大了。接着转机到古晋,在机场向租车柜台租了辆小车,四天时间依赖导航系统行驶,跟着先前完成的自制旅行参考指南,和旅行网站Trip Advisor的推荐来决定行程安排。

这一星期啊,我在砂拉越过得悠闲自在。

What an unexpected journey... Kim bought his flight ticket without second taught and then the journey begin. For the first 3 days, Kim stay at his friends house at Sibu. Sibu did not have much attraction places, the things that they do the most id eat, eat and eat. This is wat Kim do for the last 3 days ar Sibu. Afterthat, Kim take another flight to Kuching, Sarawak. He rent a car at airport and start his 4 days journey at Kuching by using GPS. Kim had do some homework before this trip, so the entire journey is according to what Kim had planned.

Just Something Art Space & Cafe (Butterwoth, Penang)

Just Something Cafe (Butterworth) - Bee Hsia's Bday Celebration
Visited on January 2014

我在这里遇见一只狗一只猫,和友人小聚叙旧,为老朋友美霞庆生。

楼下的小黑狗兴奋的在我脚边跳跃,我喜欢抚摸它的头和颈,一旁的朋友吓到还劝我快离开,可它那双忠诚无辜的眼神无法让我不凝视它。楼上卫生间门前有只猫,在陌生人面前很生涩,动也不动羞得低头不望我,不像平日遇见爱撒娇的猫咪。至于我们呢,无论生活多忙碌,大家抽出时间外出小聚交流,也特意为明天生日的美霞庆生。

And this is the time that our old friend, Bee Hsia's birthday again... Is time to have a celebration and a small gathering no matter how busy we are, we still will spare some time to celebrate her birthday with her.

Art is Rubbish is Art (Ernest Zacharevic's Art Exhibition)

Art is Rubbish is Art (Visited on Feb 2014)

在街头艺术家Ernest Zachaveric「艺术是垃圾,垃圾是艺术」的艺术展里,我被感动不是因为作品的专业审美诠释,毕竟我不懂绘画这一方面。而是他的作品和槟城人有种亲密的关系,浓浓的地方人情味特别容易让人产生共鸣。游览拍照期间说不上深刻和震撼,但这些画作却唤醒了曾经存在我脑海中的记忆,像走马灯一样闪过许多画面。

In Ernest Zachaveric "Art is rubbish is art" art exhibition, Kim was impressed not only by the professional paintings (But Kim do not understand this aspect), but Zach art works that correlation with the culture of Penang. These paintings are more a like a reporter that telling story about old Penang.
