I love Labuan


We went to Brunei for lunch and shopping and back to Limbang (Johan's place) in the evening

Hotel in Brunei

Even the dog in Labuan knows how to relax too

South china sea's sunset

Waiting for the boat home, everything in Labuan is slow and relaxing

This is one of the reasons why I love Labuan so much...


Limbang new township

Limbang - across the town.. Limbang is one of the cleanest town in Sarawak

Not only I have to bring them, I have to entertain them too

One of my reasons for staying so long... to learn patchwork from Beelee

I will post my product once it is ready.


drinking coconut water, walk around the beach and breaking our fast by the sea.... I don't mind settling down here for good. Wait till I show you Jerry's house... it is so beautiful and it has the million $$$$ view! (He extended his invitation for me to stay in his guest house). The problem is he is no Richard Gere and I stop believing in fairy tale)


To many of you, I am the crazy one. Once LayHya ee called me crazy, she asked me why can't I be normal like others ! People go holiday for one weeks or 10 days but for me, it is one to three months. I know she is jeleous becasue I didn't bring her to Melbourne the last time. This trip to Labuan I made sure that not only sisters, cousins like her and Ah Yan ee were here too. But she was so unlucky, she received the news that her mother passed away on the day she arrived and she had to go back the next day. Well, to you Layhua, I am sorry about that!

Let me explain why am I like that. You see, my logic is since I spend so much on air ticket, I better make my money worth and stay as long as I can. Another reason is I like to do the normal things like the local, going to market,movie, walk arond town, visit friends and sometimes just do nothing. (please tell me how can you do all these in one week)

Sorry, have to go now... my show started already...will continue tomorrow

Labuan

There are so many things that I wanted to write and just do not know where to start. Should I write about the spring festival, the Florida trip or Labuan.

Last year when I told all my sisters and cousins that I am not going to travel so much, firstly because I am tired, secondly I am broke. they laugh and didn't believe me, to them I am their travel guru and they are my faithful followers ! What can I say ....... Can't go anywhere without them knowing !

Two months ago when Uncle Fernandaz (airasia's boss) gave out one million free seats, I was busier then any travel agency. I was in front of the computer till the wee hour and take a wild guess, how many seats I booked ? A trip to Labuan in March for six of us, 3 ee to Kuching in April, Cambodia in May and July and 2ee and gang to Jarkata and lastly 7 of us to Macau and china in the month of Sept. I think we are going a bit too far this time. We plan our holiday just like some big business people planning their sales strategy. The problem now is where am I going to find the money ?

Since I am in Labuan now, I shall update my blog with my stay here first.

Spring Festival


My Stars, my Sun and my moonSorry girls, I know this is not the best pic but I am here in Labuan and will make do with this
Sisters, sister in-law, brother and brothers in-law


This has been a very busy year, so far.... A year that started with many visitors coming and going, running around helping zee and finally moving in with her one week before the Chinese New Year.

One never cease to learn new things. Now I have to learn how to operate dish washer, backwash the filter, turnon the alarm and not to mentions the 101 power and light points that are in their place. Despite all these, I really love the house. Mark and Zee has put in lots of thoughts and details and .....$$$$ into it and you know what happen ? the leave the house for me and jojo to enjoy the beauty.

The reunion dinner was great, not the dishes but the crowd, the seven grandchildren and daughters, son in-laws (except Mark) and friends. We invited my sisters, brothers and their family for Nasi Lemak breakfast and had lots of fun. All in all it was a great new year !
