What-a-Wonderful-World

Ini yang di katakan malang tidak berbau. Apa yang kita rancang lain jadinya. Tapi perancangan Allah lah yang terbaik. Yang penting kita sabar dan redha. Aku dah puas jalan jalan di Brunei and now is the time to go home to Bintulu. Lepas check out kami terus pandu ke Sarawak. Tiada lagi tempat nk singgah. Langit pun semakin mendong dan gelap. Perjalanan menuju ke Telaga Tujuh memakan masa selama satu jam lima belas minit. Setiba di check point kereta penuh berbaris. Weekend ramai yg nak balik kam pung ke arah yang bertentangan. Selesai sudah kami bertolak ke kedai mamak. Ingat nk makan nasi beriani tapi tak menyelerakan. Aku dan Hadi order mee goreng ang Shamim order maggi. Alamak tak sedap. Nandy pergi cari surau untuk dolat jamak. Cuaca semakin mendung. Sepanjang perjalanan ke Bintulu hujan lebat. Dengar berita Bintulu banjir. Aku tak angkat pot sangat. Rasanya rumah aku ok kot. Aku terus gonyeh kuaci sambil borak dengan Nandi. Anak anak aku kat belakang dah di buai mimpi. Hajan ma

Kami check in kat hotel dalam pukul 2.00 petang. Rehat kejap kami pun pegi jalan jalan. Datang Brunei dah banyak kali tapi tak pernah tour pakai boat. Sebab nak bawa anak anak aku jalan jalan naik juga lah boat ride ni. Dia minta $60 tapi udah di tawar baru dapat $50. Oklah..... Dia bawa kami pusing di pinggiran istana dan kawasan sekitar. Di terusnya perjalanan sehinggah ke tempat monyet belalai gajah. Aku pun dah lupa nama sebenar monyrt ni. Bila balik pula kami mengikut arah ke sekitar kampung air. Inilah uniknya negara Brunei.

Pagi pagi lepas breakfast kami keluar kejap untuk shopping di bandar. Shopping apa tu?? Mesti korang rasa kwlakar bila aku bagi tau. Hehehe..... Pertamanya aku bwli dvd player yg harganya cuma $B39.90 brand phillips. Aku rasa ok lah tu. Kalu nak beli kat Bintulu pun mahu rm100 gak walau brand chap ayam. Secondly aku beli beras basmati satu paket 5 kg dlm harga rm28 je. Pastu beli beras poni cuma rm20 utk 5 kg. Org kata beras sini murah, tu yg aku beli tu.... Finally amik gambar dgn anak anak aku di sekitar bandar. Cuaca redup dan nyaman jadi seronoklah sikit.

Rasanya depa doh seronok setelah lama asyik terperap kat rumah. Yelah dpat ambil angin dan santai. Aku pun sebenarnya mati kutu mana nk bawa.

Firstly we thought that we were never made it to Niah since the rain started showering last night. I knew that my children were getting bored staying at home doing nothing. Their holiday must be fun, isn't it?? About 10.30 I said to them lets go who knows that the rain might subside when we were reaching Niah. I drove using the old road and the vehicles towards Miri not that bad. But you need to watch out for the potholes! I have been there once and I didnt really remember how long to reach the National Park. I just drove until we met the sign board to the left leading to Niah National Park. It was 12 noon and not many people around. Tickets for three of us was rm16. Adult was rm10. Then you need to pay a sampan man to cross the river for rm1 each. Now we started to walk through the jungle. I fid not wear my snikers. So did Syamim. Ok....we walk until the big cave and we came back. It took about 30 minutes with a brisk walk. I took few photo of flora that so amazing. Love the tri

My children Hadi and Syamim having their vacation in Bintulu. Hahahaha....I got headache to manage the plan where to take them. Oooo....I got the idea to bring them to Similajau National Park and Niah National Park. I myself dont really know where to take them since I am engross with my work. But I would manage my time for them to enjoy their stay. I would sure they easily getting bored staying in rumah bujang with basic furniture and entertainment. You know lah....balik rumah untuk tido je. First day i brought them to Tanjung Batu. I was only a short period since the weather was not promising. Today it is raining heavily and our plan to Gua Niah is little bit delay until the rain stops. Now we just waiting in the house watching a cartoon. It is a boring day!

Our time together in Jakarta was marvelous. This was the chance that we could break away for a while from my children. If not my wife always stick to my children especially the small ones. It seemed that Sarah and Yusuff already understood how ummi would like to have a short break. I love nasi padang. Especially when they lay down all the dishes on the table with a spakling orange and red colours. Oopppsss.....they have yellow as well. You can feel the scrumptious of its delicacies. We were at the Plaza Indonesia and the ambient and surrounding was so poche and made you felt so comfortable. It was a lunch time and we started to walk slong so many restaurant. Then we found an authetic nasi padang restaurant that made our stimach grumbling immediately.

Today is the last day in Jakarta. No need to stay longer unless the traffic really smooth. Not really reliable coz I have to deal with a taxi driver that refuses to take us anyway unless without meter. Since I need to check out ftom the hotel by 1300 hours, we went to Sarinah for final shopping. I thought there were many shops in the building but a departmental store. As we entered the building I went to the music section to buy Opick latest album. We roaming aroung and went through the lady's area. Bought my wife blouses and not the cheap even made in Indonesia. Finally we went upstairs for Muslimah boutique. Wow, the design were very nice and my wife insisted to buy for Balqis. I was contemplating because the design and clothes were not cheap. Hhhmmm.....what would I do? Since Kizz got an acceptable result for her matrix, I present her the jubah and few tudung to share with Shamim. Hope she really like it....

I never know this singer but looks like he plays a good music. I was at Plaza Jakarta yesterday and when we were roaming around at the basement, we saw a music lounge. I thought of buying javanese gamelan music instead I add another collection of mine. Hope the music and the song soothing and mesmerizing...

Now it is time to say good bye to Jakarta. We have been here for two days and it is just enough to know Jakarta. I am not exagerating but it is only the traffic. Everywhere seems to stuck in the jam! My wife is happy to be here and we enjoy the shopping of local muslimah boutique and nasi padang. When we were at the hotel, my wife feel restless coz nothing to do. I said to her now is time to relax and free from hustle.
