As a prelude, and to attract the imported players, any Kuching members want to have a GTG this upcoming weekend, 28 or 29 September?


Sure. You fix a venue, date & time. I'll be there.

I'll put my name down here.

1. bezelnut

2. dpkong

If you like beers too, I do propose the same place as the last meet-up with GMTmaster @ Basaga

Saturday night 28th ok?

Basaga is the one near Chung Lin Park, right?

I don't drink alcohol, but I'm sure they serve other beverage.

I'm fine with Saturday night, but I'll be a bit late thou, perhaps after 9.30pm. You guys can start earlier, I'll just join in later. If you don't mind that is.

Mr dpkong,

Some last minute issue I need to attend to, have to go Sarikei this weekend. Thus I cannot make it for this weekend's gathering. I'm very sorry.

hi Donald,

Sorry to keep changing the dates but the only weekend that I can go Kuching is Sat 26th October.
Flight and hotel has been booked. Arrival before lunch time, 26th.
Leaving 28th afternoon. Will be meeting our other frens on 27th to catch up and makan2.
My missus is coming along but we are on our own separately, on 26th Sat.

I plan to drop by your fav toyshop and the famous Muara Tebas seafood (dinner), Green Road/Choon Hui kolok mee (breakfast), Choon Cheong sarawak laksa (lunch) besides the famous beef noodle a Kcg friend brought me to.

If you and/or the KK/Kcg kakis can meet up on 26th, it would be great to sit down at a watering hole and chat abt watches over beer, German preferably and some pork munchies whole afternoon before going for seafood dinner.



OK.. let's try again...  ;D

How about Saturday 12th October?

OK. So we're changing from 12th to 26th?

How about the below programme once you have arrived and properly checked into your hotel on the 26th?

1. Lunch at Muara Tebas.
2. Visit to Sarawak Plaza toyshop
3. Dinner and beers

hi donald,
If you are busy or if this arrangement is out of your way, its really ok.
I've had to squeeze in this date in order to fit my wife's wanting to meet some of her Kcg friends as well as my other weekends not being available.
Air tickets and hotel booked already so its a 'go'.
I should be checked in before 1pm.

If you are available however, your plan sounds perfect especially the last part...
I believe the toyshop is only open until 4-5pm so do we have enough time?
I think 2-3 hrs in that shop can be easily spent.
There is another shop that I'd like to drop by.. Will tell you the name via pm.

Day is marked for you.

Sarawak Plaza shop closes 6.00 to 6.30pm but never spent more than 2 hours there.

Beers for me are best only after the sun disappears.

Which "other shop"?

Then it's a good chance to bring her to Damai Beach for the weekend, join the GTG, visit that shop at Plaza Sarawak and buy her a nice JLC Rendezvous with diamonds... :laugh:

Nice one. That piece has been sitting for a while waiting for the right buyer. Still waiting to purchase a piece to round out this year.

Thanks.. too bad we could not meet up.
Yes the shop owner did tell me its been there for awhile. Of coz being marketing talk, he said that Kcg folks didn't know how to appreciate JLCs.
Anyway since I have been looking for a titanium Amvox for awhile, being black titanium and NOS with a slightly higher discount made the deal easier to swallow.
Still a very pricey item..very nearly AP RO/ROO level

thanks sean,
Yes, from donald's usual toyshop...
mustn't go Kuching for awhile otherwise... hard to resist...
