June 2008: Tanjong Lobang Beach, Miri Sarawak

By
Me, mom and dad went to Bintulu (Sarawak) in June 2008. Actually it was my travel-for-work but my parents don’t want me to go by myself. Arriving around 10am, then at 2pm we were on our way back to Sibu (Sarawak, not Pulau Sibu and not even Cebu Phillipines). But at a junction with a signboard to Miri, my dad prompt a bonus question, “Anybody want to go Miri?” We’ll be there around 5pm , my mom replies, “Dont ask me, ask her” (pointing at me). Oik silap besar! Of course I said, “Let’s go!!!”. There we were, with no extra clothes, no brush and all necessary things! Sa-helai dan Sa-pinggang…
There are 2 roads leading to Miri, the old one (longer and takes more time) and the new one we refer to as ‘jalan pesisir’ which is faster than the other one. So dad used the new road so that next time if I were to travel by myself for work I wont get lost..
You can go by air, either using MAS, Airasia or Maswings (if youre from Borneo Island). Im not sure about travelling by sea, never heard of it..
On our way, my parents decided to go to Kuala Sibuti, I was raised here until 2 years old. I can’t remember anything about the place.

After 3hours, we arrived and went straight to a hotel. The Dynasty Hotel. For RM170+- we get a very good room. My dad, terus menyampaikan hajat yang dah lama terpendam.. iaitu, melabur amanah saham after a few ammonium-based ‘blasts’ at us. Located not far from the Pujut Highway, a few minutes drive to Shopping Complex and about 15 minutes to the Tanjong Lobang Beach.
We managed to go to the beach that evening to watch the sunset..

What can you expect to see in Miri?
In the city itself, of course Shopping Complex. Kalau aku, yang ni kurang minat la kot.. Sebab boleh jumpa kat mana-mana. Selain dari tu, Tg Lobang Beach. My fav spot is the jetty. Again.. Here you can see para-gliding.
Me hubby prefer exploring Miri. Go to Lutong, the oil town. You can see the old hospital site, or Petronas area. Or go to Pujut, find the biggest shopping complex in Miri (i think) the e-mart. Or go few miles further, to the Asian Bridge. The one that you have to cross if you want to go to Brunei.
Read another entry soon, about our (me n hubby) trip to Miri for honeymoon.

holiday nov2011 01

By
We had an 'explorace' holiday last November 2011. Our flight to Kuala Terengganu (KL transit) was on 25 Nov. Arrived at night, an we went straight to YT Midtown Hotel. A strategically located hotel and I consider it as budget hotel. Paying RM120 for a RM150 sized room! Its definitely not a boutique hotel or spa resort. But cozy enough to rest and sleep. No weird smell or sound. The small pic of my son was on the plane. The Floating Mosque (i think its called Masjid Tunku Zaharah or something like that..), located at Tanjung Ibai. Its rainy day so we decided to just sightseeing from the car (rented car with very good deal!) Then we went to see Masjid Putih, as the local called it. Passing by the White Mosque (Masjid Putih), the driver took us to the Fishery Department Port. A visit only a few lucky people like us could get! The driver is like the president of fishermen's union or something.. So we get to see the real boat and ships used to fish! Its not like we never...
