We go back to my hometown of Kuching, Sarawak this time and well, this episode is slightly different, instead of showing you the sights, I bring you to some of Kuching’s famous food haunts to try out my favourite local dishes! Get ready to salivate!! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: This video features mostly Pork dishes which might not be as appetizing to some.

I recorded this episode on my digital camera and because my SD card had limited space (at that time, I’ve since bought a 16GB SD card…wahahahahaha…), I had to take more pictures rather than videos, therefore you’ll see more pictures in this episode. A lot of the pictures included in this clip are taken by other Advertlets bloggers as well, so thank you guys for sharing and thanks for making the trip extra fun!!!

So here it is…..It’s a Belle World! Ep. 2- Putrajaya! Enjoy!

If you own a resort or if you’re from a travel agency or if you’re Dato Sri Tony Fernandes, do drop me a line at belindachee@gmail.com if you want your destinations to be featured here on my travel webisodes.

Till next time, Gong Xi Fa Chai and Happy Holidays everyone!!

Today I’m really excited because I can finally share with you guys a little project I’ve been working on since last month! If you ask any TV host, their dream hosting job would definitely be to host a travel show. You get paid to travel and do all the fun things and eat all the great food, who wouldn’t want to do that? I had my fair share of the dream life when I hosted 2 seasons of ‘Teman’ and also for some of the work travels I did for Quickie, but I wanted more!!

Anyways, this idea came to me one day, after my contract with the Quickie ended, of all places, while I was in the shower! I like to day dream (or sing really loud) when I’m in the shower and I thought, hey, wouldn’t it be nice to produce and host my own travel show? And then, it came to me, I have the skills, I have the know-how to produce and edit and host my own travel show, AND I’ll be traveling quite a fair bit for the next couple of months…. why don’t I do my own travelogue, albeit on a smaller scale, for my website?

So i brainstormed for a couple of minutes and came up with a whole lists of things I could do with the show and came up with a name and a week later, I started shooting with my old video cam (and re-used an old DV tape, which I now regret) when I went to Singapore, came back and started slowly putting the pieces together and today….. I have the very first episode of ‘It’s a Belle World’ to show everyone!

The picture quality is pretty bad, and the tape was scratchy (because I re-used an 8 year old tape), and in retrospect, because it was my first attempt, it lacked a few opening/closing shots here and there, but you know what, I’m proud of it and I’m proud of myself for going through with it. Joe thought it would be just a spur of the moment thing, but although I had a few outside jobs that kept me busy, I was motivated to see this through and I really think it could be something if I really try to make it work.

For now, this is my personal account, I paid for this whole trip myself, none of the establishments featured paid me money to showcase them (although this might be a plausible idea for future episodes….hehehe) and it’s all done in the name of fun and also to brush up on my production skills. ‘It’s a Belle World’ has double meaning - Bel, is my nickname and Belle is beautiful in French. So let’s see Bel’s Beautiful world right now!!

Please wait for it to finish loading before viewing it in its entirety. I’ve already compressed it to its smallest but still viewable format for all to enjoy. Please do leave your comments!!
