Looking for a Bright Future!: Another vacation in Miri

Just one day after December begins, my fren brought me to Miri for a vacation and we spent overnite there. It was such an enjoyable experience as we stayed at guesthouse @homestay for the first time. The rental cost was really cheap about $65, got big room with 2 king size bed, got 2 or 3 bathrooms and also small living room to watch tv. They also got wi-fi, hmm was unlucky not bringing my laptop haha. If Im not mistaken, the house got 6 or 7 rooms altogether and our room was no.2. Unfortunately, I didnt have the chance to take photo inside the house/ our room.... Anyway, I got their business card in which I can come again in the future if I would like to. The trip was fun though.

First of all, on the day before the trip, my fren gave me call at 6.30 p.m but I was already slept from 5 pm until 7.30pm when he tried to contact me again. Lol, I hate the sounds of handfon while I was sleeping hehe. Owh my fren just wanna ask me if I got any query or not.... He scold why I tidur lagi that nite cos he was worried if I might goin to sleep so late since I already tidur kan. Then I took shower and had my dinner with my family. So what will I do next? Hmm of course la, to withdraw money from the ATM haha. Suddenly, I received SMS from him... reminding me to being passport, shower gel, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste. Lol, I replied him "OK, no prob. I already planned everything including my medicine, mesti bawa lah... I dun wan to behave last minute person which I used to be haha but then I have to stop by at Rimba Dept Store first to buy tooth paste... Nah, ada tah sudah ku spent, boring la!!" Need to save for next day actually haha. Am I stingy? Lol

I cant stop thinking about the trip as that is my first trip to Miri since months ago. I watched TV and went online as usual before going to the bed. I packed my stuffs such as clothes, etc. This time I dun use luggage as we only stay for one night, not many things to carry. So, I bring one schoolbag and another Amway bag (for my clothes haha). I set my alarm at 5.30am. We planned to leave my house early at 6.30am. A bit tired for me..... selalu akhir tidur. At last, I slept around 2 am, just after I finished listening to songs via handfon. But I dunno la, feel like quite worried if I cannot wake up early hehee nanti my fren scold me la.

While I slept in the middle of dawn, I got a bad dream. The dream started I was teaching my students for evening class. Suddenly when I wrote notes on the board, one of the students also wrote on the same board, next to me. I was shocked....how dare this student to come forward and he was able to write chinese characters as well... Lol.... So we end in quarrel until I heard bunyi ayam berkokok hehee, terus ku check my hp, and it was alreasy 5.20 am. Quickly, I brushed my teeth and went downstair to take out "popia" from the freezer to cool it down. Nanti mahu di goreng bah untuk kan d makan while on the way to KB hehe. My fren arv my house on time before 6.30 am. And I have to rush lagi kan makan ubat. So we left house exactly according to our plan....and we arrived the immigration around 8.30 - 9.00 am.

To make the story short, ermm nothing much I can say here... I just enjoyed the trip cos most of the time I was being dropped at the shopping malls such as Bintang Plaza and Boulevard. For instance, on 1st day trip...my fren dropped me at Bintang Plaza from 10am to 12 noon. And then we were having lunch together at one of the Chinese restaurants. Then we checked in at the homestay....like I said before, it was nice place to stay. We took shower and after that, since he had buzy time with his work in the afternoon, I just requested him to drop me at Boulevard la....so I did shopping from 1pm till 5pm. Very tiring actually. What can u expect??? Pusing2 keliling...nothing to buy also, lol.

Although Boulevard is quite big, but I get bored easily bah, maybe there wasnt any attraction there such as expo, etc. I sat on the bench a few times as my leg got injured oledi hehe..what else, sakit tapak kaki ku. Indeed, I really feel wanna go for foot reflexology since my leg sudah sakit2. But I end with body massage for just 30 mins... which cost around RM$30. At first, I thought no need to massage. I tahan sabar la...waiting for my frens to fetch me but since left with few hours lagi, so I made up my mind to go massage around 3pm. Here comes the funny thing about the massage centre. The owner asked one of the ladies to massage me.... I dunno who will do bah. As far as I know, the masseurs are all local Chinese. Suddenly, I was astonished when an old lady assigned to do the massage for me.. Lol. Seems like she is in the 50s years old (and I dun tink she is chinese, perhaps Indonesian or filipino). But the fact is she is "ugly" haha jahat jua aku ah. How can I feel comfortable if I was being massaged by such an old lady?? OMG!! I had to request other masseur to massage me. Then come another young lady la who massaged me just about 10 mins only cos there was other customer who also demanded a lady masseur to give them foot massage.. So a guy masseur then continued the job. For only 20 mins left, my back feel so painful especially my left ribs. I dunno what they call that...but my fren said that kind of massage was called "kuasha" in chinese. It left red stretch marks on my back, macam acupuncture. Really pain... But I feel good. Anyhow, next time if Im going to Miri again, I shud try for 1 hour body massage which cost about RM$55.

Then my friend fetched me around 5pm and we went back to homestay. We took shower and had a rest. Me, as usual, after tired walking the whole day, sure wanna sleep hehe. So while I slept at 7pm....my friend wakes me up....haitzzz so annoying. I threw the pillow on him. Haha. He wanted to wake me up so that I wont sleep so late that nite. But what to do kan.... Im such a lazy guy. We went to Servay that night and had dinner together at Malay Restaurant. It can be said that the area where we were staying was so buzy at night time.

We back to homestay at 10pm and by that time, both of us were extremely tired. We rest in the room; my fren was reading a story book while I wrote some notes. Then, we watched tv and chatting before sleep. The next day, we woke up around 7am and we had breakfast at the 2020 Restaurant, the famous restaurant in Miri.....especially Dimsum. I heard ppl said the dimsum wasnt nice but still got lots of ppl hang out there...strange ah hehe. Again in that early morning, my fren had a buzy time with his work, etc...so I hold the key and the card of the main entrance of the homestay. I dunno what to do actually... selain dari shopping di Servay lagi, jalan2 melihat2 baju, etc. I went back to homestay at 10.30am where my fren suddenly gave me a call, saying that we wanna do check out. Aiya...so rushing. I had to pack up everything and helped my fren to put some of his stuffs into his bag. Lol... once he arrived, we had to say goodbye to the auntie (the caretaker) who in charge of the homestay.

Since we still got time and it was still early to go back Brunei, I decided to do final shopping at Bintang Plaza, especially to buy books at Popular bookshop hehe. My fren, on the other hand, was having lunch with his frens. Once he was ready to fetch me after my lunch (I just makan di Sugarbun alone, but ok...freedom bah), I asked him if he can bring me to Boulevard again as I wanna buy 2 sketches book for my niece and nephew. Also, with the money that I left, I bought a few beef burger and also fish burger for my family. Afterwards, we left Miri around 1.30pm.

So by the time we arrived Kuala Belait, it was still early...around 3 pm. So my fren, once more, decided to bring me makan for hi-tea at Seria....to a Chinese restaurant. I cant remember what its name but this restaurant is famous for his "Pau"... I finally arrived my house at 4.40pm.... ermm what a new experience for me...staying at guesthouse and also do shopping alone most of the time ..... Lol. But Im really enjoyed the trip. Thanks to my fren. Here are few photos and video that I can take during the trip, unfortunately I dun get the chance to take my own photo as both of us are buzy, doing own job. Eventhough we are free, but maybe I forgot to take and dun have the mood to take also :) Basically, these photos/ videos are near our places only hahaa. So enjoy it!!
