Another sleepy post.. but get your eyes open big big please! Thank you!

I’ve to admit, I’m willing to drive up to Brunei just for that BND 0.53 per litre of petrol, at the same time i can go KB - Kuala Belait to get some essential goods *cheaper in Brunei* and if got time, I can go Escapade eat Sushi~

But It was all past tense.

=Brunei Road Trips=
Kuala Belait is just a small town in Brunei. It was just a boring afternoon, so we drive up to KB, since its just 30-40 minutes away from Miri. *depends on what speed you drive, remember, if you get caught by the speed track, you gotta pay in BND ;)

Mini the driver a.k.a Goolooloo *muaks*

Here you go.. See the Shell Sign Board?

This is the nearest Petrol Station right after the Sg.Tujuh Immigration Check Point.

In other words, it attracts most of the Mirian to pump their fuel here before heading back to MIRI. What a brilliant ideas it used to be! In the olden days, there’s totally no restriction of how much fuel you can pump, that was when the price differences wasn’t that contrast.

And right after the 1st time petrol hike in Malaysia, they’ve controlled the limit, where Malaysian Car can only pump up to BND10. You might think, har only BND10, worth meh?? After some calculations, it is still worth just to go up to pump your petrol and back to MIRI.

BND10 = 10*2.36 = RM 23.60 = 18.86 ltr!!

Let’s say in Malaysia, even its before price hike.
RM23.60 / 1.92per ltr = 12.29 ltr only!!!

And now after price hike
RM23.60 / 2.70per ltr = 8.7 ltr ONLY!!!!

Brunei Government not sleeping wokey???
They have been kind enough subsiding blindly to us for so many years. and now its time to roar back!
In order to stop Malaysian enjoying the BND0.53 privilege, the Brunei government has set the new price for us !! BND1.18 = RM2.77, 7 sen more expensive than Malaysia. Ever since that, there’s no longer long queue at the petrol station. =.=

This is a Realistic World. Hehe..

Hi, see who’s in the side Mirror?

Somehow, people like us who still like to go anywhere, anyplace main main.. will still go ahead to waste some petrol. Somehow, the 1st shopping attempt was fail, due to some stupid reason, and we return to Miri with emptry hands. Wuwuwu…

*Really go makan angin only*

photo taking
I wind down the window *to makan more angin*, mumbling to myself, and caught these few people doing strange things.

A man and a woman are talking by the road side, and the man in red is taking picture of them. So, curiousity brings me to take a picture of them instead! Hahaha!!! Hmm, mebi he’s also a blogger?

Reach Miri in the evening time.. the sky are so nice..

i drive
Since the 1st attempt was fail, so we go for 2nd attempt in the next morning!

This time, goolooloo is the F2 driver. By normal procedure I have to fill in all those forms, and then the custom officer ask for my phone number, stupidly i thought it was a new must procedure, after a second thought, then only i realize, he was flirting! Grrrrrrrrrrr! Buat kerja kamu la!

2nd attempt was very succesful indeed, and all money spent.
I went to a few supermarkets in KB to hunt for some imported goods for my Koko Biz. Honestly, it’s still cheaper in Brunei eventho after the price hike issues. As I buy in bulk, plus and minus, it’s still worth for a simple road trip!

Left BND3 for the toll fees.

Before leaving for Miri, I manage to get my LOMO to the beach, guess what time was that?

look at sea

Its 12 noon.
Poor Mini, she’s overcooked under the hut.

And I was still there photo shooting!

hot ah nee

See her facial expression, imagine that was real HOT.
Driver not ready to go, so you be patient ok?

We are suppose to drop by Escapade Sushi for a *light meal*, somehow as my mom need to use car, so I have to rush back to surrender the car. Quite a regret that I did not make it, cos I understand that it’s hardly to persuade friends to go Brunei since petrol price increase, they would rather stay home and save money. =.= Just like how realistic like Eet was, he told me that he won’t fetch me anymore due to price increase :( Honda City fuel saving what, don’t be so stingy la!

dd=.=bb

Sibu Bloggers! Wanna organize a road trip all the way to Brunei?????
STP, Escapade have the best sushi , big portion, and reasonable price!!!!!
Please feedback, cos silence is neither denying nor accepting~ hahahah!!!

*Warning, long entry, lots of picture need to load…*

If i could choose to stay back in Miri, this would be a nice practice, a wonderful Sunday morning, that i prepare breakfast for the whole family. Isn’t that is something warm in heart?

I woke up at 4am, due to the stupid mozzie bite, it gave me another sleepless night again. So i wake up and watch the D.I.E series, and suddenly i thought of OpenAir Market’s “gadokuih” or to be exact - Scissors Kuih / 剪刀Kuih.

I get up from my bed at 6, and wander around in my house till my mom asked why i wake up so early, and i answered, just because i slept early, can i wake up early? LOL..then i grabbed they key and F1 to the old town.


The street lamp are still light on, obviously its still quite foggy..

I met my friend LeeYong, the Fried Kuih Tiaw Stall no.21. As usual, she’ll be there helping out her family during weekends. Long time didn’t visit them, i guess the last visit was during Form5, when 2 sotplug male friends kidnapped me from my house at 5.30am and we go makan there. LOL~ Naive kids!



Showing off my that i can still take clear picture, although already reach 100km/h
Muahaha.. 100km/h is standard speed, no speeding. I’m a good citizen.

And the sky was so beautiful in the early morning, when the sun has just rise, the skies are covered by layers of clouds. Wonderful shots ley!!!

Here you are, my heart-warming breakfast, kuihs and fried kuihtiaw.

After breakfast, time for my doggies to enjoy sunbath…

10.30am, depart to KB for Sushi Encounter. Yay, i miss Escapade Sushi.

WanFern drives 5 of us in her Vios, and here we go, we reach Escapade KB.

Second group from Mike’s car arrived about before 12.

This is the reason, why Miri people getting fat and fatter!

Meet my friend, Strong Leong. He finished all those on the table.

Not to be missed out, groceries hunting.
Auntie and Uncle went for some groceries shopping, so I go hunt for junk food.
Blerk, i found my Hello Panda, since no one pamper me, i have to find the way to pamper myself.
Wuwuwu.. i bought the big box, BND5.30 only! Cheap!

We got home around 2pm, and i was collapsed, not feeling so well. Haha, i think too much activities in a day will lead to exhaustions!

Once in a bluemoon, we gathered at Luoon’s house. Happy hour again, we have some great time tasting those weird wines.

I’m going to bintulu later, will update you my roadtrip when i am back. Tata!
