Another one? So soon? The poison from the last one in October 2012 still has not completely subsided. :-\
......I see....maybe Donald has acquired something really special which he wants to show us all up close and personal..... :laugh:

That's a long way off... But if you happen to be in Kuching then and want a GTG, I'll make myself available.
I was hoping a much closer date, seeing that CNY is around the corner and we should have a home-bound exodus.

should just do a casual piss up at cozy bar like the junk or something :)

Wonderful. Date is marked on calendar.

date noted and put into calender :)

i have checked the dates with pullman kuching and apparently without the breakfast i'll save around ringgit 250.00++ per night!
with this in mind, any good breakfast within walking distance from pullman?
any other hotels to recommend? preferbly hotel with easy access to good makan-makan place.
-
To-date how many of you are going to Kuching on 23 March?
All going solo or with your other half
Anyone booked AirAsia aredy?
I am very tempted to go as I miss seafood in Buntal, Top Spot, Sarawak laksa @ Golden Arch cafe, Choon Choon, Kolok mee @ Choon Hui,Expert Foodcourt, Sin Lian Shin Green Road.. Used to go annually for the Rainforest Music Festival..
Main attraction is d Sarawak Plaza shop intro by Donald of course..
Any other pre-owned shops carrying goodies like PP,AP, etc ?

Pullman is walking distance to many eating places. Think of it like Bukit Bintang..

Can only think of that one shop with a good range. There's not much elsewhere. And Jos, if you come, I will make sure to take you to Buntal for seafood.

Wah donald, how to refuse like that....
Ok lets see what d others other than kiamat n me says...
-
hey dpkong,
shall we edit the first post in the thread so we can list the attendees? :)
we can always decide on the venue a couple days before hand to suit everyone...
im keen as beans...
-
Maybe a better idea to start a new thread?
-
kiamat,yonggoh
are you going to your Pullman honeymoon getaway this coming Saturday since you proposed 23rd?
Wonder if poor donald who has marked the calendar for the 'semenajung guys' visit is gonna be disappointed.
If you guys wan to re-schedule maybe someone can propose.
AA fare for this Sat for 1 pax 2 way is < RM 300 whereas MAS is RM 500…

joseph past few weeks i have been out without me missus so going away next week gonna be tricky. gotta reschedule.

Calendar is marked but I'm sure it's understandable if you guys can't make it.
Maybe we can still proceed with our own little GTG.

Thread revival...
Anyone around Kuching want to have a GTG? So far, GMTmaster has shown interest.

I want.

Hey Donald,
Any date in mind? Looks like you are going to make this into an annual event? ;)
-
Set a date and see how we go from there?
-
This upcoming weekend is a long one...
-
A gtg including friends from outside Kuching is hard for such short notice. Maybe we can have a simple beer session. :Cheers: Anyone keen?
-
date???
-
When it comes to beers :thumbsup: :thumbsup:, I'm just an SMS away...
-
Had a beer session with dpkong. Thanks for showing your ROO. A beautiful piece indeed. :thumbsup: Trying to get the antidote. :Laughing_on_floor:
-
Donald, time to organize another Kuching GTG.
Hopefully this time, there's more than 4 of us. ;D
-
do plan a month or 2 in advance so tat we can get lower fare AA tickets...or u can suggest cheaper alternatives
cheaper airfare, more money for beer n watches......
still dying for seafood and the Sarawak plaza visit..
-
I'll put down my name 1st. ;D
Never attended any WMF activity, this will be my 1st. Have been looking forward to it for a while now.

If Loo is joining, then maybe I will have a chance to educate myself on GS... as I have yet to learn how to appreciate one not having seen one in the flesh.
-
I would think that GMTmaster, bezelnut and myself would be available anytime JOS2012, Enkidu or Hanz079 wants to fly in. Maybe you guys can check your calendars?
How about the weekend of 5-6 October? AA flights look cheap now. KL-KCH is RM138 return and KK-KCH is RM215 return.
As standard, beers and seafood is FREE for guests!
-
As usual dpkong's offer is hard to refuse.
Was going to book my AA as ticket is v cheap now but then chking my schedule, I need to attend the 1st Ann of my late mum's passing on Oct 6th morning...
will have to wait for another date....

JOS2012, you must come see the Sarawak Plaza shop.
Since no one is taking up the 5-6 October weekend, any other date suggestions?
-
As a prelude, and to attract the imported players, any Kuching members want to have a GTG this upcoming weekend, 28 or 29 September?

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.
-
Hopefully other members join the list or propose another date.

How about Saturday 12th October?
JOS2012 has indicated some interest to come. Maybe Hanz too?
-
im in ! :thumbsup:

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

-
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"?

I have other commitments on that day so cannot participate. :-\

Can't make it too... wifey's birthday is this Friday. Have fun!!

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:

Wah Jos very nice, new toys got it from Donald usual toy shop?
-
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...

He is right though. JLC has a very small following here.

It was a great weekend with Joseph and his wife. Luckily he only brought his JLC along (no GS) and I am now getting slowly infected by the JLC virus. May try to join the JLC meetup next month...
Brought Joseph there expecting him just to look at the wares and didn't expect he was going to jump on one !!!
-
Great! more JLC fine pieces to appreciate in the coming GTG :thumbsup:
-
el,
I do hope you have decided to take back your JLC to monitor its rate after running in instead of sending it back so soon.

Although Sarawakian hospitality is well known but Donald & his other half overdid it…. :laugh:
He left his kids for 2 days, accompanied us literally the whole of Sat and (if not for my other friend meeting me for morning half of Sunday, it would have been whole of Sunday, too) 2nd half Sunday.
Looks like he is also a regular or a taikor at Kuching waterholes coz their bartenders didn't dare allow me to pay any bills instead asking me to get 'permission' first from Donald.
Thanks again, Donald & missus for your weekend time, company and hospitality.
I hope you can make it for the JLC GTG II. If you go to the JLC boutique, it will be like you bringing me to your toyshop, even worse…I caution you.. :Laughing_on_floor:
Normally I'm not a impulsive buyer but the Amvox titanium has been on the back of my mind for years (although never formally been on my wish list) so I guess it was 'fated'.

Hi Jo,
I have instructed them to send back from Singapore without service. should be back this week. thanks for advise.
-
Jos,
Don't feel bad about us spending time with your and your wonderful other half. Some weekends are usually our "timeout" anyway, so kids would be with the grandparents.
Can't confirm the Nov 16 date now but I'm sure there's a JLC Master Control chrono model calling to me somewhere as Frankie from the Starhill boutique was so nice to poison me on a trip and I have a nice catalogue to browse. :-\
