It was a long weekend, many of you should know. After being here for 3 weeks, I'm starting to get kinda bored of this place. Nothing much to see here, and the food, more or less the same thing I eat every meal. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but cut me some slack will ya'? :)
Amy and I were planning for a trip to Miri sometime later, but why not this coming weekend? Met Kelvin at some random place, and he decided to tag along. And the rest was history!
#day 1
Left for Miri on Friday, 7.30a.m. bus. Reached there prolly around 11a.m. Met up with Gabriel, yeah, will be crashing at his place.
Had lunch in one of the restaurants in Pelita area, then it was shopping afterwards. Went to Parkson, but boo hoo, couldn't find anything. Later we hit the beach. Nice breeze. I haven't been to the beach for ages. The undulating waves, hammering softly against the rocks; and the windy breeze brings out the inner me.
*breeze*
*amy, chong, kelvin, gab*We headed to Marina Bay later, to watch the sun set. :)
*effects aren't that great though :(*Reached back Gab's place, had the most awesome meal ever. His mum is really a good cook.
#day 2
First stop was at Curtin Miri Campus. Jetty next. Boulevard was next. Outcome = A pair of black shorts. :) After that it was infamous cendol, sotong kangkung and fried tofu for lunch. It was good though.
*cendol*
*fried tofu, sweet potatoes, yam*Then it was Canada Hill. Nice breeze once again, nice scenery. Further up was the grand old lady. Something Kelvin wanted to see so badly.

*gab isn't happy cause amy ain't giving him the attention*

*hanging bridge*
*fountain*
*waterfall*Went home and I had these waiting for me. 2 in fact. Something I've wanted to try, since I am starting to become a durian lover thanks to the boyf. They have already warned me. The smell is stronger. When I first sniffed it, it was freaking unbearable. I took a first bite, and I nearly puked. The stench, omggg, made me sick. :( It was a waste not knowing how to eat mountain durians. :(
*mountain durian*11p.m. Date with Han Sze, Mildred and Wan Sin. Reached back home at 12.45. Slept like a log.
#day 3.
Church early in the morning at 8.30a.m. Ended at 11.00 a.m. Got back, showered. Had lunch. Had mee sua (seriously yummy!) and roasted pork. I think this is the first time I ate pork so much. LOL. Bus was scheduled to depart at 12.30p.m., waved Gab's family goodbye, and at 4p.m, we reached Bintulu.
Nice trip. Very blessed. Thank you Gabby. And your family too! It was a pleasant stay. I can now crossed out Miri from my trip list. Upcoming : Sibu, Kapit, Kuching, KK, Brunei. :)
Gonna hit the sack now.
xoxo.
