Holiday Blues

So lazy to blog!

Yeah again another emo post

Okla I'll try not to haha

Anyway it has been 2 weeks since the greatest exam I'd ever have ..

Okay lets not go into detail lolx

And also just back from a short trip to the Peninsula!

Last Tuesday I flew to KL

From there went to some other places also

Miri -> KL -> Penang -> KL -> Malacca - > KL -> Miri

My comment .. hmm

Nothing to shout about haha

For two reasons it feels like it was an 'incomplete' vacation

One for the lack of freedom as it was a family outing

Need more room to spread my wings !

And also I didn't really accomplish my mission of finding a pair of new sneakers

I thought there will more choices there but maybe ..

I didn't try hard enough to find

Ugh for all the money I saved just to get them roar!

But still a family trip is a family trip!

Spending time with family of course has its value hehe.

Anyway

I find Penang is kinda a good place

I don't find too many places to visit over there

Food wise though it's a really great place!

Suits the type of person like me

Who lives to eat rather than eat to live ahaha

Quite a lot things to eat there la and 2 days are not enough to try them all

Kinda feel 'sakai' there as the last time I set my foot there was 10 years ago

This time around we'd have relatives bringing us around so it is easier hehe

I spend about half a day in Malacca

My brother who lives in KL rented a car and drove us down there

Can't remember anything from there

Because I was 'carsick-ed' -_-''

Kinda irritating la

Just an hour or two in a plane or car

Or maybe half an hour on twisty roads

Will send me into headache like there is no tomorrow

Maybe due to lack of travelling

On KL

Too 'sesak' for me lolx

All I will say is

I LOVE MIRI ahhaha

Wow I typed a lot for my standard

Enjoy your holidays people!

p/s : I need a change

Bakun & SMDS

I'm more than a week late to post this. Attempted several times to start posting, but each time my brain just went blank haha.

During last week's free week, CUTEC Club (I think it stands for Curtin University of Technology Engineering Club. correct me if I'm wrong -.-) organised a trip to these two places. SMDS is located near Bintulu, and Bakun I think it's a lot further. Forgot le haha. In case you don't know, SMDS stands for Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis. The operations are basically about doing stuffs with natural gas. Yah, nothing else but natural gas.

The use of handphone and cameras are quite limited here for safety reason so I can't show you anything from the site. Only managed to get some shots in front of the main building -.-

I personally like this one haha

After SMDS, we checked in the hotel. Ok ok de lah haha. While waiting for dinner we took some time strolling around the place near waterfront there

Next up was the visit to Bakun the next day. It's going to be 2nd highest(biggest?) dam of its kind, as explained by one the engineers. Before going there I knew that place is big. But when I got there, I was surprised to see how much bigger that place is actually haha.

the landscape of the whole dam (a drawing only)

This dam can be considered as a mega structure for its size I guess. From my inquiries, the dam is 60% done, and will start operating in 2012.

After a briefing from an engineering, we were taken up to the site using 4WD vehicles.

on the way uppplooking upppp
looking down. quite amazingly big i should sayman-made Mr.... one of the civil engineers of the Bakun project

(ugh should have taken off the safety helmet)

After the site visit, we coasted back straight to Miri. It was a rather informative trip. Had some fun as well^^ Maybe 2 days 1 night a bit too short but it's okay la.

Looking forward to more trips in the future.

Thats all for now
