yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today i go travelling!!!!! i haven't been to the upper ends of swak for a long.......... time.
we 'berangkat' at about 9 like that. everyone was excited. i didn't go the first time so I was really excited. macam kerak kena belacan jak my butt. hehe... i was in the van with our chairman doc morni, apai and juliana. the hyperactive and ever clown ainil was with zaifa, tn hj and boy in the unser. the trip was quiet as we haven't had anything to laugh about. come to think about it, i was fairly empty and dry up in the head. guess i was too excited to say anything. we stopped over in serian at about 10.30 like that for breakfast. then resumed back our journey at around 11.30. god, doc knows a lot of people... like, he can't walk without someone shaking his hand or calling his name.
on our way, we passed a jurassic farm just outside serian. i wondered out loud what was in the farm. what a BIG mistake. doc, sounding serious, said according to his experience in the farm, there were t-rexes and stegnococoarous and stonororous and bla....bla..... sigh....... aok ajak lah.
we had lunch at his sawit farm in pusa. we had a feast!!!! parek panggang, ikan terubok steam, ikan panggang..... plus the tranquil environment, fresh cool air.... wa...... heavenly........
we reaches saratok at about 5pm. the town was fairly empty by then. nothing much to do. we checked in at evergreen inn and had our dinner at the nearby 'kedai'. i tell you... the best lychee drink i ever had and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING!!! the food was so-so coz like i said, it was practically a dead town.
the ever peaceful tiny town was disrupted by our screams of laughter of course, which resulted in some of the locals leaving. hehehe.... everyone was looking at us like we're aliens with 10 heads. hehe......
after dinner, we went for a drive to the kampungs there. we passed by this house owned by an autocratic DO (i guess, not sure what the position is tp org besar lah). his name was yusuf putih or as doc translated, Joseph White. so mengumpatlah org tua ya tek. bla.. bla... we got back to the hotel at about 9.
I couldn't sleep. I guess it's common to feel uncomfortable in far away places from your own bed and pillows. Dead tired but cannot sleep. sheesh......
