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.
From Drop Box
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.

Pic blogging?

By
Dah lama la sangat tak post apa2. Bersawang dah blog. Sibuk dengan kerja, bila free tgk drama online, bila banyaaaak free buat bisnes photobook. Sekarang sibuk pulak dengan persediaan semester jun 2015 politeknik. Ada-ada je lah kerja untuk mempoyo n menyibukkan diri. Tu yg blog pun mcm rumah puaka tak de penghuni.. masuk keluar masuk keluar tak update apa2 pun... Jadi aku buat keputusan nak buat mcm micro-blogging.. tapi pakai gambar dan sedikit caption.. Ini dia gambar pertama. .............. Terkejut tadi tengok apa benda yg melekat kat cermin penumpang belah belakang kereta. Bila tgk dalam, rupanya anak aku punya kerja. Semalam dpt sticker, dia bantai lekat kat dlm kereta.. tergelak sorang bila teringat. Anak aku yg sorang je tu dah 4thn umurnya. Dah dihantar ke sekolah supaya dia ada kawan bermain.. maklumlah.. anak sorang.. belum ada rezeki anak lagi satu...

June 2008: Tanjong Balau Beach, Desaru, Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru.

By
During my stay at JB, I managed to go to Tg Balau Beach, Desaru. From Drop Box If youre driving, than it's cheaper compared to renting a car or something. Its more expensive by taxi. I think it took 2 hours drive, plus LOST since I couldnt remember the road.. dont blame it on me?! the road look different from last time, 2005. From JB to Kota Tinggi takes 1 n 1/2 hours considering all the traffic jam on the way out of the city. Then from Kota Tinggi to Desaru approx. 40 minutes. The road might be tricky, so watch for the word Desaru, then Tg Balau on the signboard coz they will definitely help you. Not much to look at during the drive.. expect for hugeeee palm plantations.. Tg Balau is a masterpiece. Facing the South China Sea, clear water, blue sea, and not too many people like in Desaru beach. The one that im showing you in the pic is on the other side of the beach, you can ask for direction to go to the 'jetty' they call it. Or if they dont understand just tell them '...

I was just trying my luck by applying for a place at a new office. I was shocked knowing that my application was approved and it actually turned me blank for a while. There's so much to do! I don't want to hurt my head with so much things to think about yet, so I've decided to just go with the flow... Ramadhan is approaching, Happy Fasting yea! I'll be breastfeeding and fasting for the first time this year. Not sure if I'm capable. Soon will upda...
