Weekend Away in Sukau

After 4 days outstationing in Kg. Gana, Kota Marudu, i drove my car a.k.a mimi to Sukau last friday nite. It was not an easy drive because in the middle of driving, i was fishing fish in the air, in other words sangat mengantuk! Managed hard to stay awake and reached Sukau at about 1030pm. Joni, 4D (in the pic) and Yong were err.. dont know what they were doing when i arrived. But i arrived not only with my bagpack but also with 2 packs of guava juice, 2 bottles of white tanduay rhum and 1 bag of ice cubes, that makes us the popular cocktail drink MINDORO SLING, a trademark concoction of Puerto Galera! During our last trip to Puerto, we sure had a lot of that sling and bing! As usual our bartender in Sukau is none other than Mr. 4D himself lol! Had 4 jugs of slings that nite, it's been a long time since i last hang out with Joni and 4D. Yong was busy that weekend as her family of 15 came over for holiday. Big family Yong! Oh Yong's mum cooked very nice vegetables (adakah kerna lapar?) Oh oh our pusas that nite - mussels.. ai lain, i.e hasil belian di Kota Marudu. Chatted about Natt's wedding and how we are going to get a good band on her wedding days, about how to make money, about each other's updates and so on until 3am zzz....

Lots of fish caught by Yong's (in the pic) family on saturday in Sukau River, those are the 2 biggies, walaupun bukan sa yang pancing, merasa juga pegang ikan basar! Hohoho... Oh there's a new lodge built in Sukau, operating since 3 weeks ago, just beside Sukau River, about RM35/pax/nite (with breakfast). What you can do in Sukau? You can no doubt do river cruising be it nite cruise (5pm) or early morning cruise (6am), fishing is another one, and if you are 'green' people, you can contribute to KAPOK organisation by buying native tree species seedlings from them and they will organise a tree planting session with you in the forests, will be very interesting and fun and jungle rumble! KAPOK consists of several villages in Kinabatangan whom are committed to plant trees for forests rehabilitation in Kinabatangan area. Oh! and not forgetting, you can meet eyes to eyes with Frankie the crocodile, he always around near the river banks. You can see him especially when you hang out at Cede Prudente's Tomanggong Lodge, which is very near to Joni's house. So come on guys be adventurous, be green, go to Sukau!

Bangkok 2008

Went to Bangkok with Joni, 4D and Clever last August. Had lots of fun, did lots of walking and sight seeing, took lots of photos, quite a lot of eating and drinking etc. This was my 2nd time to Bangkok and i recommend you to go, it's a safer place and quieter than manila. But both countries are great indeed! Some pics of testimonials. More pics to come soon, after i got them from Joni. Joni bagi gmbrs!

Checked in at The Top Inn, Khao San Road. Clever (red shirt) flew from Manila and we met up in the airport.

1st nite in Khao San Road, Clev, me and Joni

Ok outdoor facial, that's 4D the 1st person lying down.
Good breakfast..Mihun sup ayam lain drpd mihunsup sabah lol

Fave thing to do, gather with friends with good drinks and good music. Acoustic is a must!

Main sama burung ah at Pigeon Park..here there will be some ppl who will 'offer' you a plastic of corn to feed the birds, they will say 'it't free'..nah brabis la kami mengambil tu mknan.. last2 kami mo jalan dah, tu org blang 'hello hello, 300baht'. We refused to pay but he insisted and even reduced the price. lastly we gave him 30baht and walked away..they call this 'Pigeon Scam'.
Lunching at the park in Royal Palace..
Sleeping Buddha... One has to take off the shoes, queqe for pics cos there are several hot spots for good pics, encouraged to make donation by putting coins in jars, and make sure ur sandals are not stolen outside the temple
The traditional Pad Thai stall, you can choose from various noodles, with or without egg and various chilli.. uinahhh!
The result: Traditional Pad Thai with egg, 30baht
After doing a lot of walking (i love it but can't do a lot of it actually) and sight seeing, hang out with Joni at Sontham's coffee place, just a small place at the corridor, nice coffee and nice view of the busy Khao San Road
Wondrous Wall...some of the goodies you can bring back home, they are around 150-250baht.. about rm15-25..manasal nda beli shirt yang ada tie tu lol
Where's my lunch? Starving. I just woke up and met up with 4d and clev in the Shell St. Restaurant. It's an old shell st. that is not in use anymore, at nite it 's transformed into an open air cafe...
