Road Trip 08...

everyone knows i dun wake up early on a sunday; 8am to be exact. gila ya!!!! sunday suppose to be a lazy day! i dun care wat others say; to me...it's best to just lay in bed and do nothing- ok ok!, not nothing lah; turn on astro or hardrod and catch up on all the series.

however if i do get up that early, it can only be either:

1. i'm on holiday,
2. relatives or close friends' weddings, or
3. road trip.

yes! ROAD TRIP! my first road trip of 2008!...wat a sunday! or in Jo(e)'s case...'fruitful' event.

where did we go? only across the border via 2 toll-booths & a loooong bridge. The last time i went there was hmm...when huh? to be honest! limpeh also forget oledi! it must be tat looong.

wat did we do?

set off at 08:45 from my house in the green pajero.
Wat a beautiful day to start our road trip. Blue sky, white clouds and music of the day: SANDY LAM ONLY haha! why? cos my ipod thingy spoil i think! and E's car had only 2 cds. (not complaining)

first pit stop:
eat of course! why all we do is eat huh! why? haha...(again not complaining)

the famous panggang in the whole of Brunei: prawn or beef filled. nyaman tu!!! really nice.
i have heard all about it, (and might have tried before-maybe in some's houses for all i know) but now i can proudly say...been there and eat it too. and IT'S GOOOOOD!!!! and finished off with Mr Brown coffee-in-a-tin. hmm...

road trip are the best time to catch up on good old times and talk rubbish really haha! and best of all, we get to see our J&B making out! well...when i say making out, i meant J's love/hate altitude towards her B. goodness! these 2 are really made of each other. who else can stand our J's jolliness. haha!
2 toll-booths later, we arrived in Miri City hor (not town anymore). The reason for this road trip was:

1. E wanna stock up on his coming bday dinner/party and collect his glasses (which comes in a very niccce case-i like!);
2. J wanna check out her stuff - ended up being her 'fruitful' day!!! yes J?

So me & Z were just there to tag along and shop/eat loh. wat else? (again again not complaining).For some reason, we like to eat the 'finger-lickin' good' chicken when we hopped over to Miri. why?
simple fact: cos it's cheaper than our own. see see...

Only when we finished everything, hehe! then i nin nia forgot to take photo.
opps! so pic of bones to prove ok lah.

i dun recall seeing our dollar note this big leh...

while J&B checking out their stuffs, the 3 of us wondered round and round the shops...and towards the end...u know...it's tiring ya! nothing much to buy or see as well. hmm...stuffs there are not tat cheap as well...ok ok! fresh chicken wings are cheap! this is a fact.

So we headed back and decided to make another pit stop in my hidden gem store. hehe! yup yup! more sunnies yeah!!!! we were not sure if the shop open as it's kinda late and it's sunday. also, not sure if there is anything else to buy. But guess wat? someone went a little crazy. who? no names shall be mentioned...just say: most of us left with at least 2 pairs of vintage original sunnies each: either raybans, monalisa and carrera.

i think we made the ah gongs really really happy leh. cos ever since i went there, agar-agar too bought 2 pairs herself from there. So i shld be getting commissions or maybe one or 2 pairs of sunnies free. RIGHT? fair bah!

ooo...we made a 3rd pit stop to ta-pau at the famous Seria Kolomee.

the kolomee somehow lost it's tastiness...but hei, when u hungry...u will stuff the one dollar eighty cents mee down your throat and a smile will automatically appear. believe me!!!

got to say, E targeted to be back home by 5pm. yeah right! tat's never gonna happen with us around hahaha!!!
we left Seria around 6:30 and the weather decided to piss with rain. why? but hei...it was a fun & 'eventful with loads of goodies road trip for all of us. :) All of us were sooo damn tired!!! ooo...picture is blurry cos the road is bumpy ya!

ps. looking forward to 2 dinners/parties this week. yup! the birthday seasons for 2008 officially begins now!
