Palm Beach Resort, Sematan, Kuching

Went to Palm Beach Resort for 2 days 1 night trip on 24th and 25th May after my finals..
Before hand, I do heard of positive comments on Palm Beach from some of the friends.

Well, actually, if compared to Damai Lagoon, now known as Damai Puri Resort and Spa ( still under rennovation ), I think Damai is more fun. Palm beach, the environment not bad, beach not bad, but just seriously lack of SWIMMING POOL!!

Took lots of pics of Palm Beach to post up here and of coz, for my own memory. Even though it's not too bad, but, I think I prefer Damai more than Palm Beach.

PETROL PRICE INCREASED!!!

I fetch my sis back from King Centre to Jln Song, while on the way, we passed by Petronas, I saw lots of car queing up to pump their petrol, I asked my sis, do u heard any news on the increase of the petrol price? Why everyone is queing up like that to pump their oil?
After i reached home, I got message from frens saying that petrol will increase after this midnight from Rm1.910 to Rm2.70!! Wow! It's really so expensive. Mind u, 1 litre, Rm2.70!!
It's freaking expensive. And not only that, heard that August, government will cancel subsidization on petrol and the price will increase to Rm4 per litre. How i hope this is a fake news! I don't dare to think what will happen to the peoples if the petrol's prices still keep on increasing. And we all knew for sure, once petrol price increased, sure, other things like food, clothes, tranports sure will be increasing too.
I still keep on imagining from the moment i got the msg till now. I really dont understand.. Oil were from Sarawak and yet, Sarawakian got no priority nor advantages on it. We don't enjoy cheaper price on petrol nor Genting Entertainment and Sunway Lagoon WaterPark for us. We still need to pay for the flight to fly over to enjoy those things. I really don't like to discuss this issue, but WHY??!!
I've got nothing to say right now. Felt dissapointed! Hope things will go on better!!

Anyway, read this from a web. So might paste it here!

KennyRogers Roasters @ The Spring Lifestyle Mall Kuching

When people say Sushi King, must be the sushis...
When people said Manhattan Fish, I'll think of Fish and Chips..
When people said KennyRogers, I will think of chicken...
I always heard of KennyRogers de Roasted Chicken very nice. But never got chance to try yet. Untill last month, wanna farewell my senior, they from tesl gonna further their study at UKM.

We actually plan to go Hartz Chicken Buffet, The Chicken Rice Shop or other places, but afterall, my fren said, our senior like KennyRogers Roasters the most. So, we off to there on the morning..

Kenny Rogers Roaster @ The Spring...

There are several reasons why we chose The Spring and not Boulevard mall while both of them got the Franchises.
1. It's nearer to our campus.
2. The Spring got more things to see than Boulevard.
3. The Spring is BIGGER than Boulevard.
4. The environment is better.
Shit! I'm crapping! Haha.. Btw, thats my own point of view.. =)

The main page of the Menu..

The 1st page. It's roasted chicken!
I'm not wrong to think of Chicken when people mentioned about KennyRogers right.

When u plan to order the set meal. U got few steps to complete.
1st, choose one from here..

Choose either one.
But, it's advisable that u choose the original Roasted Chicken.
U'll know why at the end of this post!

2nd, choose 3 from here...

After that, u'll done. And prepare to wait for ur SURPRISE order!

So u can understand now why it's advisable to choose the Roasted CHicken now?
If u choose the Roasted chicken, u get the whole pieces of big meat, while the cheesy one, u get to eat the huge potato down to ur stomache!!!!
