Trip to Sarawak - Day 4

Day 4: Miri
11th January 2008

Woke up at 7am for breakfast at 8am. We went to Miri's market for breakfast, and before i forget, there's sumthing i must mention. Usually people will find parking in white box, but drivers in Miri parks in yellow box. And their motorist will halt in the middle of the road to pick up a phone call. Back to the story, we reached market and ordered food. Guess wat... Observe this picture...

Did you see wat i see????
(Everyone's eating the same thing - Char Kuey Tiaw)

After breakfast, we went to visit Miri Handicraft Centre.

We're flying??

At about 12pm... we had nowhere to go.. so we went for lunch... although still feeling very full.. When arrived, we went to buy 4D and toto. Hoping to get some money so that we can go Brunei so that Mei Shan get to see her Wu Chun..
As we were walking.. we passed by a bread shop. so... when a group of tourist get together and they see weird food, they will buy it even if they are still full... We ended up with breads worth RM21.00....

But we didn't eat those pastries and bread... We went back to the Nasi Lemak shop.. But 2 ppl share one plate.. else sure very bloated.. I'll upload the pic when i get it.. Neway, the Nasi Lemak is not very nice.. but not very bad either. I prefer the one in JB.

After lunch, around 1.30pm... we went to get our car. Mei Shan, Pei Xian, Ah Bee, me and Jia Feng sat in a car. the rest followed Adrin's car. Something happened there.. Jia Feng locked the clutch and brake with a Solex Lock (because Miri is not a safe town). Then when he wanna unlock it.. he realised he cant because he locked it upside down.. We were stucked there for 15 minutes. it was scary but funny at the same time... After that car locked incident, we went to the beach. (at 2pm) It was supposed to be hot.. but i dunno why.. it's not that HOT after all...

The bridge

After the first beach, we went to the 2nd beach.. it's a private port for private yatch.. there's a lot of rich man in Miri.. Trust me... Since it is a private port, we cant stay there for long. After 15 minutes, we moved to the next beach. Where we ate all the pastries and bun we bought earlier today...

Yippie

Chasing the Sun

After visiting 3 beaches, we went to golf resort, also near the beach. We were suppose to stay there but the resort is fully booked so we had to stay in town. The resort is just atypical resort in Malaysia... hence, nothing much to talk about...

We headed back to the hotel to rest and get ready for the evening. We had dinner at a cafe. We ate Apple Chicken Chop Rice, Thai Style Fish, Fried Rice, Signature Toufu, and a plate of Vege. The Fried Rice is so much that one person's portion can satisfy 4 pax. And it's cheap... only RM4 per plate... The rest of the dishes are common and available here. After dinner, we went to visit the 'Grand Old Lady'. It's the first oil well in Malaysia. It's night view is very nice oo... and this is wat we did in the dark...
The nite is still young... So... we headed off to Miri's Karaoke... Rex Box... It's REX BOX.. not Red Box... Then at around 2.30am.. we went for supper.. Roti John. Miri's Roti John is wet.. not the normal crispy bread we eat here in Melaka.. Finally.. we slept at 4am despite knowing that we'll have to wake up at 6am the next day...

Time may snatch away my youth, but never my voice. It will always sound the same regardless of time and place.
