I've always wanted to visit this place :-)Don't we all love holidays? I sure do when I have things to occupy my time like *cough* Farmville, BarnBuddy *cough* and also travelling.
I've never set foot on the oil city of Sarawak. So kesian kan? Dulu-dulu kena offer study in both KDTH and SMS Miri, parents tak bagi... Kalau tidak aku sudah jadi akak senior yg 'penyayang' to Hornbill. Huh...
So I managed to hasut a few friends to go for a road trip during the Raya holidays. Apart from the few glitches before we set off everything went well during the trip. Kat managed to find a driver a.k.a. Bodyguard for us. Thanks Dhilang!
The travel gangThe drive were fairly uneventful but darn it! There were so many big vehicles on the road! Keretapi je takde. It was a hair-raising experience trying to overtake all those gigantic vehicles on the 'patchwork quilt' road that we called 'Pan-Borneo highway'.. tsk.
Had lunch at Bintulu (tak sedap!), I didn't finish my food. Then we continued our journey using the coastal road. Saw one fatal accident where the car looked more like a scrap of metal after it crashed onto a big lorry.
Luak BayWhile we were in Miri we visited places like Luak Bay, Tanjung Lobang, Marina Bay, Grand Old Lady, Taman Awam, City Fan and some of the shopping complexes there. Bought some clothes and sandals (now that I can't wear heels)... Bought some vodka and a mini bottle of Icewine too (for my collection).
I must say that I like the beaches. I love the feeling of the wind blowing from the sea. The smell of the sea with the salty tang and the cool breeze from the sea. Ah, peaceful... if not for the noisy chatter of the other visitors. Hruummpphhh!
The journey back was quite smooth as it was the 2nd day of Raya, if not for the fact that my front tyre was punctured by a metal nut... Dang! Had to make a U-turn to Bintulu and tried to find a tyre shop but none were open that day. There has got to be 5 tyre centres in that area but none were open. WTF!!! Luckily there was a workshop that was open and the proprietor was very kind to help us change the tyres. Made another stop at Tatau and there was a tyre shop open for business and I changed my tyres there. *sound of money flying again*
In all, I enjoyed myself during this trip. I met my juniors: Sam, Shera, Alex & Marde. Alex & Marde invited me to go to Long San next time. Hehehe... I'll see what I can do about that.
I'm already thinking of where to go for my next roadtrip..Haha
