Happy Mother's Day 2012

Mother's Day 2013 jatuh pada weekend ni...

n what happened to my last year of mother's day celebration? remember these posts?? u can read it here and here...our vacation was from 10/05/2012 to 13/05/2012 *dh setahun br nk citer*..trip yang agak rush! coz perjalanan from 1 place to the other took about 2 hour++..and sana malam cepat so by 5 byk tmpt or kedai dh ttp...

So this is the 1st part...our trip from brunei to miri and back to brunei...

Some of the reasons why kami ke brunei and not directly to miri from KL :

1) En suami supposed to join us...but xjadi due to his workloads...

2) Because we rented a car dari brunei..sbb from brunei on 3rd day trus ke labuan naik feri...kalau direct to miri...n sewa kereta n pergi brunei then trus ke labuan..sapa plk nk anta balik that car to miri kan...get what i mean? hehehe...sbb tentatively..perjalanan adalah miri - brunei - labuan...tp sebelum ke miri kena lalu brunei dl sbb nak sewa kereta..n memudahkan perjalanan...

Since hubby didnt managed to follow us to miri..i drove to miri by myself..n hubby provided me map from brunei to miri..map dari googe maps ok! n printed and mayb ada la 20pages...but honestly..lepas je area jerudong..straight yang mmg straight tanpa belok2 yang mmg akan sampai imigresen punya!! Babah pya lepas jerudong pn kasi lagi maps yang mau more than 10pages yang menyebabkan me drive berhati2 sbb tgk map smbl drive tp sbnrnya straight je...dang!!! n kami singgah ke opis babah n smua mcm "giler hebat bini ko drive ke miri sendir"..tengok orang la beb! hehehe

Brunei to Miri..perjalanan dari brunei ke miri dalam 2jam but can make it less la...brunei pn xde speedtrap..tp kena hati2 drive kat brunei sbb drg bawak slow tp still kat lane kanan... T___T ..n i volunteered to drive coz farouq lagi behave bila ngan my parents..compared bila duduk ngan mama dia..n he still bfeed kan..so karang nk berkepit je...

A place to visit to Miri, ermmm tempat yang patut dilawati di Miri :

1) Canada Hill

2) Petroleum Museum

3) The Grand Old Lady

4) SeaHorse Light House

5) Crocodile Farm *we went this year and not on this trip*

6) Pasar Tamu

7) E-Mart 

and should try 1 of their signature food...Nasi Lalapan...

We took a morning flight..and muka si kecik xmandi pagi...LOL...and babah rented Lancer for us...nak beli xmampu..pakai sekejap pn best! bawak 160km/h pn x terasa...huhu...babah fetch us at the airport...and we had our breakfast at brunei..makan roti canai and murtabak yang best! it was my 2nd time..had it before before this trip..ok tu citer pasal brunei nnti la k..

The hotel was nice! we booked apartment with 3 rooms...but without breakfast..so selesa ada hall n dapur..but xde masa pn nk masak or melepak..right after we arrived, solat n mandi n trus keluar berjalan....coz next morning nk back to brunei plk..

Hotel and view from the hotel!

After 2 hours..arrived safely at Imperial Hotel..located at center of Miri..and dekat ngan Bintang Megamall and bangunan nya tinggi so even xtau jalan pn just hala ke arah bangunan tu n In Shaa Allah sampai...seriously ok! x tipu...coz that was what i did! hahaha...jangan masuk jalan sehala sudah...

Btw bestnya this hotel..dia connected wit mall...so kami lunch KFC di situ je...beli mineral water..siap ada giant ke apa tah..x ingat! hahaha...not big mall la..mcm ala2 giant besar ala2 jusco wangsa maju tu je..not bad la kan..leh cuci2 mata jgk..

Petroleum Museum
The Grand Old Lady
Canada Hill

Above pic tmpt yang kami tuju dulu after we had lunch at KFC...and amazingly..rupanya drg sebelah2 je..ciss...after i came out from the museum..tanya la staff tu..where is canada hill located ye..n dia cakap..sebelah ni je puan..ppffftttttt....nothing much there...just museum tu best..beside petroleum ada arkeologi and ada plk "Perak Man"..Canada Hill pn ada 1 cafe utk orang melepak smbl tgk pemandangan yang..ermmmm...

Btw...the museum closed at 4.45pm..so better come early! 

Miri Seahorse LightHouse
Pasar Tamu : Tamu Muhibbah & Tamu Khas

Next we went to Pasar Tamu...itu gmbr farouq makan pisang..sendiri nmpk sendiri mintak mama bayar n atok suap! and beli belacan kt sana..yang my mum cakap sedap smpi kena beli blk bila i repeated my trip to miri earlier this year...and baru perasan aritu yang situ jual ayam katok kepala..hahahah...sbb situ pasar Cina...nk beli buah mcm salak smua pn ada..

Then we went to the Seahorse Lighthouse..agak konfius perjalanan nk ke sana! kami SESAT...yang pusing2..all the way ke sana..akan nmpk statue seahorse tau..kt roundabout la..kt simpang2 tepi jalan la..but i knew that was not it! n setelah sesat barat..akhirnya jumpa jgk! LOL....after asked around the local people..

Nothing much there...just ada that seahorse yang sangat besar..and bila as lighthouse..harus la ada laut or pantai kan..harus la..n surrounding tu mcm just tmpt private bkn attraction places pn...

Dinner
Bintang Megamall

For dinner...we were looking for Nasi Lalapan..mcm orang giler...because ingatkan ada restauran yang special but selepas kecewa just nk pergi je makan seafood..tgk menu ada nasi lalapan..LOL...so any proper restaurant akan ada jual kot..and what is nasi lalapan? from my observation, set yang mengandungi nasi + sayur or ulam +sambal + tauhu + main menu...main menu tu can be ayam, ikan, daging rendang n so on...tu je pn..

and since ada masa...ke Bintang Mall yang berada berhampiran ngan hotel kami...pusing2 n belikn bola utk farouq..yang di bawa ke mana-mana smpi ke Labuan..n we left it there sbb nak naik flight mana leh bawak bola...nothing much n just jalan2 je...and then balik tido!!!

Breakfast
E-mart
Restoran Haji K.K Koya *brunei*

So since kami stayed at the Hotel without breakfast..and En Suami suggest makan nasi lemak sedap kt miri which kami xjumpa lepas pusing2 area tu..so end up makan je kedai2 yang ramai orang...n as ddk sarawak..harus la makan...MEE KOLOK!! ahaks...n mum ordered mee jawa n bubur utk si kecik..but this year pya trip ke miri dpt makan nasi lemak sedap tu...hehehe

and on the way back..kami singgah ke E-mart..ada pasar basah n pasar kering di situ...beli terubuk masin di miri...beli udang galah utk babah..tp last2 busuk sbb our hotel kt brunei fridge dia xsejuk sangat..n en suami keje n xsempat anta ke rumah dia...huh!

n as usual..kalau ke miri or banyak masa if everytime my visit to brunei..kami akan makan this rojak sotong..n mmg ia adalah laluan miri brunei pn....so harusla berenti n we stayed outside of the kedai while smua orang plus my father solat jumaat...

bersambung with 2nd part...brunei or trus ke Labuan..coz i terpikir nk compile smua citer Brunei in 1 story..bcoz every trips ada benda baru yang kami buat or lawati...so kita trus ke Labuan la ek..hehehehe...stay tune!
