Delayed flight

Royal Brunei Flight delays AGAIN~

Fong's Bandar Seri Begawan-Sydney flight now delayed by over an hour. Hell on earth is that poor me woke up so early in the morning plan to go airport to pick her up and yet they told me her flight is delayed!!! I wonder how darling sis spent her time while waiting meaninglessly at the waiting lounge in Brunei. ok i am supposed to be somehow thankful that the flight is not cancalled.

We are encouraged to be thankful, don't we?

Plans on my easter holiday~

I am so excited i am going to meet my sisters-Chaiwee n Chaifong very soon.

Chaifong will fly to Sydney on wed and arrive around 10 in the morning. I need to pick her up at the airport and help her with the luggages. She will be spending 4 days with me in Sydney before we fly to Hobart, Tasmania and join Chaiwee on next Monday.

I had just booked my ticket online. I will be staying there for 1 week, back on the next Monday. hmm i haven't really plan or research on what to do in Tasmania, assuming Chaiwee will settle everything and plan many nice trips for me..Wuakaka!!!Hobart here i come~

Coughing and sore throat are killing me!!!!

At some point yesterday, I developed a terrible sore throat and a mild cough. Guess it was because i ate some fried dough-stick "油炸鬼" in the morning.

I also losing my voice from sore throat. Last night i experienced the total loss of my voice. This morning i feel a BIT better. In fact, i still 'sound' not all right. If you want to hear how bad i sound, just ring me up so u can laugh at me^^Oh well, I guess I have to quickly get well...coughing and sore throat are killing me! help!!!!!i better drink more 枇杷膏. My sis said this is the best remedy for a sore throat and cough. Hope she's right!

BBQ @ Bekenu Beach

Yesterday, 16 of us went to Bekenu beach(Pantai Bungai) situated not far away from Miri city, about 45 minutes driving using the Luak/Bakam bypass road. We had a bbq party there. We got nice food such as chicken wings, hot-dog, crab-sticks, sushi, fish balls, sandwiches, fruits, salad, layer cake (made by me) and etc. There are too much food we couldn't even finished them.

It was a fun trip because i managed to catch up with some friends i did not hear or meet for ages. Well a day trip off to the place like Bekenu is a must if you have a super duber long holiday in Miri-->a person like me. Otherwise i'm sure i will get too bored and 'grow mushrooms'. lol~

Nice landscape...We managed to take some pictures before leaving the sand.cool huh^^
