Trip to Sarawak - Day 7

Day 7: Bintulu + Sibu
14th January 2008

We woke up kinda early in the morning because we have a long day ahead... Around 7am, we all departed from Jia Feng's house. Met two new frens, Hong En (the guy who look like Chye Siang) and Zhi Qiang. Both of them are Jia Feng's churchmates... From Bukit Orang (Jia Feng's Taman), we went to the bus stand, not to Sibu... but to have breakfast at Jia Feng's fren's coffee shop. Her name is Mei Mei.. oso their churchmate. Ah Bee and me shared a bowl of porridge whilst the rest had kampua (again???)... Then at about 7.45, we headed off to.....Similajau... (i noe wat you're thinking, but that's really the name of that place)... It's a 45 min - 1 hour drive from Bintulu town. When we reached there, we start our Jungle Trekking... The beach was really nice and clean.. According to Zhi Qiang and Hong En, if we are lucky, we might get to see dolphin, Wild Boar or even sea cucumber.. but too bad.. we didn't see any of those.. but here are few pics i took with my phone..

The information on the routes

When we reached our destination, which is about 1 hour walk, we rested and had our high tea there.. Jia Feng, Pei Xian, Ah Bee, Sam and me went into the sea... My goodness, the sea is so damn clean... and one thing weird about the sea is it is shallow at first, then deep, then shallow again... then suddenly at a point, there'll be no more stone and becomes VERY DEEP... if i had a chance, i would love to dive there, i'm sure i'll be fascinated...

After trekking, we went back to Jia Feng's house for bath. then went off for lunch. Had lunch in a seafood restaurant coz it was already 3pm, and most of the shops already closed... the meal was so-so.. but here's something special...

Scary?? Cindy.. dun scare ppl next time..

After food, we went to get our car.. and guess wat.. Jia Feng got a ticket.. i wonder if it has been settled... Then, we went to the bus station... Here we go.. off to Sibu... Thanks Jia Feng's family for the great hospitality, i really felt like home..

On our way there, the bus stopped by Batu Niah, and they saw Chicken ASs for sale... they bought it.. here's two extremist with Chicken Ass...

Till now, i dun understand why they say it's nice...

Someone's drop dead tired

We reached Sibu at about 7pm. Jia Feng's mum's fren picked us up.. SO pai seh... then we checked into RH hotel. I suppose it's the best hotel we stay whilst at Sarawak.

After checking in, we went for food hunt... ate at the local market, then had a walk at their night market. Majority of us ate Teochew Flat Noodle.. it was nice.. but too salty.. Ah Bee ate Chicken rice.. which is not nice.. and pei xian had kampua.. not very nice oso~~

someone's always thumbs up~ even when the food is not nice :P

Then headed off the the riverside to take picture with a Swan (fake swan).. Lastly...

Have a good nite sleep~
