yesterday was washing hands ...found out the sink was clogged..tried all ways to unclog it..tak jadi. unscrewed the thingy below...and to my surprise it wasnt hairs or gunk...sticky...pearly white..yucks.. then i realised..years of weekly facial mask clogged up the sink! small price though..


this morning..went out for dimsum with joanna and woon lee in sri petaling. nice food and great chat.. then dunno how chat until talk about chickenpox...reminded me that i havent go the vaccine yet...so..on the way back..dropped by at Dr Prince's Klinik Mega for the anti-disfigurement injection..dun wanna go hospital and meet patients and end up like this... rarely, chickenpox kills too!

Dr Prince wasnt there.. got a new doctor..Dr Wan.. so..chit chatted for a while...as usual.. advice me bout the hell doctors go thru, threathen to use the longest needle on me...(standard stuff) and to my big surprise...that guy read my blog!!! aiyo..small world!!! but when i googled..dun have osso...strange..but knowing a stranger who reads ur blog is the happiest thing for a blogger. got a promotion price for the jab even though its not promotion period and Dr Prince wasnt there... good job...

Dr Wan..apologies for former comment.. keep coming visiting ok..

thats wat u see when u get to the town...actually... fruits is hardly the attraction here...except for durians!!

as we all know...Segamat had the worst floods last dec. as far as i see....it recovered almost completely. no signs of water except the flood lines, eroded embankments and bumpy roads. and everyone got their own version of flood stories to tell..auntie Maria gave us a tour to prove that segamat is NOT THAT ULU...got Giant wo!!....alrite...i get the point...everyone kinda knows everyone here...the segamat gang kinda knows every shop owners' stories!! so..if u wanna fight for the bill...forget it..u'll loose..

now..the food!


segamat's famous durian!! eating one after another...i just dunno how to say no to Chia Ling's dad..super semangat!! ate until 150% full..but the durians was awesome in quality and Quantity! the flesh is twice the size of the seed.. huge!

not to mention ikan bakar with quails, steamboat at hui li's, dinner at Jo's place, wan tan mee, Chinese roti canai, Nanyang coffee and toast...all of the things ive mentioned...u gotta try it!!! if i dun go back with increased weight...i dunno wat to say..

got a tour of temples, church, skools... within 1 afternoon..i think ive seen all of the towns..so what segamat ppl do? they Mahjong!! and when they do...normally its hard to stop.

my mom specifically wanted pics of the 1st skool she taught in...after showing her..this is the onli thing she can recognize.. all changed!

and here a view for the garden pond auntie maria designed herself! and David the chubby... haha..another year he'll win me in wrestling...

so..thanks to Jo and family for accomodation and transport, Chia Ling and family for food food and food... and to all the segamat gang for so much fun..to the segamat ppl...for recovering from the flood...great success..!!

My family reunion is certainly a big blast!... although one of my cousins migrated... theres still plenty to kids and their quirky lines to keep everyone entertained... not to mention the aunties who cooked like theres 50 ppl eating!!(actually onli 17) starting in the morning till 730 non stop...SALUTES!! GREAT FOOD!!
Eugene and Lucas..(Eugene is the onli cousin who has above average size... wei...where ur genes come from??)

the end of my 5 day stint as a part time teacher...and i stress again...IM NOT A NANNY!!! i worked 2 hours a day checking the kids homework..make sure they finish their stuff, no mistakes, do extra stuff... Although at 1st i was quite unsure of wat to do.... no experience with kids...but in the end...i realised i havent lost touch of my kid's charm after all..*ahem*...

to the couples..may u all have a romantic and lovely one..
to the singles..remember..ur not second to anyone. Go out..Have fun..or just chill out at home..theres no need to feel sad in any way..

Love is patient and kind, love does not envy or boast, it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices wtih the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.

The beach


Sunset at Luak Bay...and more poser shots at the beach...

The Croc Farm

Miri croc farm is like a mini zoo..with croc, bats, monkeys, ducks, deer....





killer monkey!! its actually a macaque. wanna take a tourist pic with it..back facing the fella..and then..CL: AAAH ERNEST!!!! (Vee Han and Joanne ran 2 steps away...) and all i managed to do is duck a bit.. felt a tug on my shirt..thats it..it seems like wat happen is that fella stuck his hand out of the cage and swung over to scratch me..good job Chia ling...if not i might go home with a BIG SCAR oh no no...

The food. kueh chap...as Jee said..200% non halal.. pig intestines, tail, stomach, and stuff that i cant even tell what is it.. dip it in ur soup....raises cholesterol and LDL by 100%
and of cos... fine dining Miri style at Dynasty Hotel...chicken roulade..dipped in cranberry sauce..awesome... thanks to auntie

1st of all.thanks to
The man
Chin Tek Jee...our driver, tour guide, accomodation coordinator, porter, butler.... for making this such a memorable and fun trip!

the Trip
flight delayed for 1 hour(Air Asia's speciality)...and 2 hours later...Miri! Tek Jee is on time to bring us for kon lo mee and crysanthemum in beer bottles! Met up with Gordon, Yee Leng and yeang wee whos on the way to kuching.



Day 2..1st time on board a Fokker 50 plane...the onli local tourist in a place full of Koreans..plane shakes everytime it passes some clouds..luckily its just 30 mins..if not i might need to use the vomit bag...

The Caves..
1. Lang's cave... the walk to the cave wasnt half as bad as climbing KK. our guide, a.k.a Mulu Micheal is a Penan. caves are all lighted up so u can easily see the cave structures inside. and for all caves...these are the basic things u'll see...





depending of season and minerals, these structuers will form things like wall curtains, old man's tooth, jellyfish..etc..names given according to shape.

2.Deer cave a.k.a guano galore
this is the worlds largest cave chamber! and u know ur there when u can smell the 'perfume' created by bats... theres millions of bats here..creating tons of bat shit aka guano.

3. Wind cave
next day, took a long boat ride to Penan village, the headhunting days are long gone.. and theyre christians now. its called wind cave cos at one point u can feel wind coming thru..

4. Lady cave
named so cos a rock at the entrance looks like a lady. some guy named Paris actually climbed up free handed to a small cave inside..its like a 20 meter drop followed by a 30 m vertical ascend.. so..that cave is named paris metro.
5. Clearwater cave
cos theres a river with clear water running thru it.. took a dip here in freezing cold water..

7. Paintings cave.
the last wan... it seems like some ancient guys got too much time and painted some artwork on the wall..looks like some boat..u can onli guess..both this caves need 4-5 hours to walk...but with our semangat dash on the way back..we onli took less than 4 hours!

to be continued....
