Mini Samelan Kuching

21st, 22nd & 23rd MARCH 2008



Mini samelan Kuching is one memorable samelan!!! All those who went are sure to agree with me. Well, not many know that me and my brother, Neremal, was born in Sibu, Sarawak. I was only in Sawarak for about 4 years before me and my family moved to the peninsular. Going for this samelan was a pleasure for me as I was visiting 'meri des ki dharti', where I was born la. Even though I did not get the chance to go to Sibu, Kuching is close enough, I could touch and smell the land of Sarawak. I miss it already!!!

Let me start our journey from KL. Hovoc incident happen to me.

Actually there were so many people wanted to go for the samelan + I didn't know if I could get leave, so I thought at first I was not going. After persuation from sukhsharan and harkiren, I realized that well I had the change to go. Just as I confirmed my leave, someone backed out and I get to replace her seat. YAY!!!

A day before the flight!!! I had to meet Sukhsharan at KL Sentral Air Asia counter to change the ticket names. I had to give a photocopy of my IC so we took a number and ran to the photocopy shop. Jey was watching and keeping us updated on how many more numbers till our turn. Me and Sukhsharan went to photocopy...we were getting so irritated with the guy there doing his job so so slowly. As he finished, he handed the photocopy to me, I passed it to Sukhsharan and told her to go ahead first as our number was very close, while I went to pay for the photocopy charges. As soon as I paid, I joined them and got all necessary done...

I went home started packing my bag...10pm...11pm...12am..1am...ok I remembered my mom giving me her IC to keep went we went out earlier...so I opened my wallet to get her IC to return to her...

THEN WAS WHEN I REALIZED!!!!

Where is my IC?????? OH NO!!!!

Called Sukhsharan to check if accidently she took it...but nope...confirm it was at the shop. ALAMAK!!!! OH NO!!!! I got to cathc the 4:30am bus from KLSentral to LCCT, and the photocopy shop only opens at 6am!!! My flight is at 7am and how could I board without my IC. Sukhsharan told me if you have your passport it would not be any problem...MY PASSPORT..WHERE IS IT?!?!?....so woke my mom up and started looking....2am...3am...FINALLY FOUND IT....by this time I was dead tired and I was not feeling well...so I took a short nap. Very short nap indeed...next thing I know get ready...and on the bus to the LCCT.

So believe it or not I went to Kuching without my IC!!! HA HA HA...
But one thing I like about using my passport is I get to keep a memory COP in my passport on when I visited Kuching.....

Our flight to Sarawak, we could see sun rise and the flight back we get the see sunset. The kids there are so adorable. I miss them so much....We had a fun filled educated 2 and a half days there. The gurdwara community and the Kuching sangat really were very nice and helped us in all the ways they can. Hopefully I can go for the next samelan there in the future.
