+..Tired but it rocks! 25th Sept ~Day 1..+

I just got back from a week long away work to Tawau and Kunak district in Sabah. I broke my first fasting day on a plane to KK around 638 pm, transit there and flew another 45 mins to Tawau, and another half hour (with 140 km/h Land Cruiser) to Belmont Marco Polo (BMP). Whoohoo~@!

Our 4WD fit for 5 adults and I was of course sandwiched in the middle as Kak Sab said the *littlest* among them. Har Har...funny! BMP was not too shabby. After all it was sponsored by our clients there for a week long. How can I complaint? Kak Sab said she wanted to wake up around 330 am for sahur. Guess what? I couldn't sleep a blink and i stayed on til that time. I wasted my night with reports that needed to be amended and emailed ASAP to both bosses in KL around 12 ish. ehehehhe politik la tu...:p then browse my other emails if i need to do stuff..and other things to see and read...lucky the figure that my boss asked to find can be figured out thru the net. Cool!

330am...the sahur food was a bit mediocre so i ate honey dew and papaya first. Lucky there was some sort of bubur gandum, and i toasted some breads. There. Mom asked to bring a box of dates, and i put a note to the housemaid to take it to lighten my already heavy bag, together with packets of instant tea, chocs and other food as a token of appreciation for making my room smelled nice and in order because the bag was already filled with my Timberland shoes, amplang (a nice fish *chickedees*) and mud bottles taken from Kunak

We had to move to Kunak, another 140 km/h (50 minutes) drive at 730 am. Kak Sab was a bit quite as if in prayer. When we reached the main meeting venue, I was a bit disheartened to see my phone had only 1 lil minicule Celcom bar. bah! Pak Amran the chauffeur said i can get a better signal at one particular pole at one designated area. Great! Anyho, KGTI was a beautiful place overlooking a big lake surrounded by forest and also fronting a golf course. (but without any phone signals, I will die...)

Day 1:

I can truly say that the first half day was a bashing time (argue? duhhh) for both client and us, another half time was a great time as I got to see the rare and threatened Proboscis Monkey (one with big nose - looks like Mat Saleh?), volcano mud pool and the mill for the oil palm processing. Learnt a lot in one day and filled with excitement (you know how i love 4WD and stuff, my itchy self really wanna drive Defender in that deep estates). I wish Boe is with me that time, he'll definitely teaches me how to manouevre the muds, the hills and stuff. Uhuhuh...miss him like crazy!
