Have Perut Will Travel...: KCH Day 1 │ UNIMAS • Graduation Robes

Back in Kuching — Straight to UNIMAS

Having cleared Customs and Immigration at 1:15pm, we walked out of Kuching International Airport to collect our rental car.

As always, we turned to our good buddy Awang Amirul for wheels. He couldn’t meet us this time, so he arranged for his friend Atek to hand over the car instead.

We’re hoping to embark on a Sarawakian road trip next year — Kuching to Miri and back — an epic journey spanning almost 2,000 kilometres. Awang Amirul will definitely be part of that adventure.

Collecting the Graduation Robes

From the airport, we drove straight to UNIMAS, as Brendan needed to collect his graduation robes.

We arrived at DeTAR at 2:00pm, only to find the office still closed for lunch. So we headed to Brendan’s old college, Cempaka, and had drinks at Sulaiman Café while I took a round of antibiotics.

After that, we returned to DeTAR to collect the robes. The process was tedious — lots of forms, checks, and signatures — but absolutely necessary. It took about an hour.

Brendan was overjoyed to finally see his graduation robes for the first time. We have a photo shoot planned around the lake area tomorrow, and he’s already excited.

What’s Next

Meanwhile, be sure to catch the next video — we ran a few errands at Aiman Mall nearby.
