Since this blog had been published online, I never have the chance to update the about page until a friend of mine from Labuan forwarding a list of questions for me to answer. I guess, I should publish the questions in this page. I hope you like the questions from Afif Ghani. Thanks buddy, you’ve saved my life, haha Here are the questions:

Q: Give us a brief intro about urself.

A: Hello there, my name is Faruqi. You can call me Ukee. I’m 21 years old. I does blogging, skateboarding, chilling at the coffee shop and loving entertainment so much.

Q: Tell us more bout ilovekuching.com

A: Ilovekuching.com is just an ordinary blog. I created it on July 2008. Started with an idea of ‘online magazine’. Tho it’s call as an online magazine, I prefer to blog it in a personal way. Which is not too formal. I blog with my broken English together with Sarawak language. Trying to use the ‘REAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE’ but too bad, I prefer my original style of writing. Ilovekuching.com is a platform for me to expose the creativity of Kuching youth in music, arts or fashion. Beside that, I’m trying my best to update the upcoming events categories for the readers so there will no complaints such as ‘Kuching Boring’. Guys, Kuching sik boring, sebenarnya orang yang madah Kuching boring, adalah orang yg boring. Hahaha, kiddin. Boh kecik ati. So currently, a good friend of mine, Zulkamal Azman is helping me with photography and photo editing.

Q: When did you take up skateboarding?

A: I start to skate at the end of 2001. Skate for 5 years and stop for 3 years. But now I’m back with my board. Skateboarding rules!

Q: What’s up with Kuching nowadays?

A: Kuching is developing. More and more shopping complex is on it’s way to be fill with Kuching people. I remember the time when The Spring open for public. Thousands of people is in the shopping mall and you can see your friends everywhere in that building. It’s cool to see your hometown improving. It’s obviously changing dude!

Q: How bout fashion in Kuching?

A: Hmm, my comments on this topic might be quite sensitive. See, from the 90’s, the istillah ‘GAI’ is a common word for the youth here. For you who dress-up in a proper way, you might be an ordinary person in town. But try to dress something new. With extreme looking tee shirts or cutting your hair with the japanese j-rock style. Man, i tell you, everyone here will get annoyed at you. So, my comment on this topic is; just be yourself. Dress whatever fashion you want. Just don’t let me or other people call you a ‘GAI’. Haha.

Q: Your a busy man nowadays, becoming more n more popular in Kuching, how has fame serving you?

A: Dude, everyone is damn popular in Kuching. Your friend is my friend, and my friend is your friend. Kuching is a small town, everyone knows each other. Haha, can’t believe it right? Everyone is popular in Kuching. Sik cayak? Let me ask you a question; Kenal Ah Seng sik?

A: Listen, I’m doing this blog for everyone who need its help. So,to anyone who need the blog help, just tell me man. I try my best to help you with it.

Q: Will we see ilovekuching being a magazine?

A: I’m not sure about that dude. See, I’m trying my best to deliver the best content for my readers. I even caught a stupid fighting video or an annoying bus ride video for them. The first thing I should do is; to deliver the best for you. I can see my imagination everynight that one day ilovekch will be a magazine. But for this time being, it’s not the right time for ilovekch to convert into a magazine. Sabar jak lah, Junk magazine gik da.
