The Tiring Journey (Sabah) - Part 2

This is the continuation from the bottom....

I reached at home around 1.00 am...so tired...

14 June 2009

My flight to KK was 12.00 noon. I am unable to get direct flight. So, I am stranded one day in KK. Staying in Promenade hotel for one night. So, I arrived at KKIA around 2.30pm. My friend, Hanafiah waiting for me at KKIA. Having a drinks at a restaurant, located in the 2nd Beach, Tg Aru, he passed a car to me.
One of the nice view taken at the restaurant...lot of beautiful views taken by Rizan at this area, but i am unable to release here as we have a planning to develop our own photography website very soon...

I drove to Bongawan first to see my parents. On the way, I stop at my brother 'kebun' for ayam kampung shooting...hehehe...few nice picture captured by Rizan using Nikon D80...here some of the Kampung Malay Chicken and some Ayam Benggali (ayam janggut) dan beberapa jenis lain....

Ni sedikit gambar yang aku kami ambik...selebihnya boleh lawat ladangmas.com
Cun kan ayam abang aku tu...baka Melayu asli...teringin nak dapatkan baka ni...

On the way to Bongawan, we stopped at Beringgis Beach Resort...taken few pics including this....
Teringat masa pi Keningau tahun 2007 yang lepas...one of friends, Sarawakian girl, tanya aku.."Apasal lembu sini hitam2, suka mandi lumpur lepas tu tanduk panjang?" Sambil dia tunjuk pada segerombolan kerbau yang sedang berkubang....masa tu kami 3 orang yang lain pecah perut ketawa...bising lam kereta masa tu...seorang kawan aku kata, "bukan setakat besar, hitam, berbulu lagi dan selalu basah...hahahaha" Aduiiihhh...masa tu aku yang tengah drive tak tahan sakit perut geli hati....aku kata, "tu la kerbau...bukan lembu la ngok!"

Sampai kat kampung di Bongawan, aku sembang dengan parents aku till 10.40pm...having dinner with them then I saw this Gardenia bread...hmmm..mana nak cari Gradenia tulisan jawi...kat Sabah je ada....ntah apa reason diorang letak tulisan jawi ntah...
Then around 11.00pm, I managed to go back to KK. Some of my forex friends awaiting me nearby Promenade...tu dia...we discuss till 5.00am in the morning and I have to rush cause my flight to Sandakan is 7.00am!

Ni la kerja diorang...tak bagi aku tido...

15 June 2009

tak tidur hari tu...lepas geng2 forex balik, aku berkemas dan go to KKIA. I cant wait to sleep...while waiting the plane. Funny...dah masuk dalam flight aku terus lena...setengah jam kemudian aku terjaga...aku pelik sebab aku tengok macam kat airport KK lagi...Aku tanya Rizan, "Dah sampai Sandakan ke?" Dia jawab, "dengar announcement tu..." Sh*t! The stewardess announced "We are having technical problems at the moment. All passengers are required to bring the belongings and move to the transit area..." Half hour dalam flight...ingat dah sampai rupanya tak terbang lagi...so, semua orang ambik beg masing2 dan keluar....ishhh...dah lah aku tak tido2 lagi nih...setengah jam kemudian kitaorang dibenarkan masuk semula lam flight dan menuju ke Sandakan.

Aku masih takleh tido...kerja perlu dibereskan. Tgh hari tu kawan bawa ke gerai Ikan Bakar Sim-Sim...tu dia..pelbagai lauk-pauk...sedap...kawan suruh aku pilih ikan...so aku pilih Ikan Putih (Org Semenanjung kata Nyok-Nyok), Ikan Tambak, Buna & Baulu. Tiga ikan ni aku pun tak tau orang semenanjung panggil apa, sebab ikan2 ni takde kat Semenanjung...
Aku stay kat Hotel Sandakan...I asked the receptionist for not to give me room with *15 at the back. Dia kata, "Wah boss, kau tau juga sejarah dia ah...". Yes I know the story, long time ago...apa story dia aku tak nak cerita...ini dah ntah berapa puluh kali dah aku stay kat hotel ni...so aku taulah...

Kawan bagi kereta Mazda Fighter untuk kami. Apalagi...petang tu kami ronda some Philipines squatters around Sandakan and took some nice pictures with Nikon D80. Nampaknya aku masih tak dapat tidur lagi...but I think that I still strong to walk celah2 kampung to find nice shot for our memory...balik dah nak malam dah...

This is how our friend Rizan, acting as professional photographer in Sandakan...repeated "as professional" only...not 'really professional'...hahahaha....sori Abg Zan....hehehehe
Malam tu my friend come again, ajak makan seafood kat Pasir Putih..around 15 munites from Sandakan...all fresh! We took few pictures of food and especially the live groupe (kerapu), lobster, etc..dan special food that night, siput cungkil...

Aku lagi pro sebenarnya...hehehehehe...ni masa kitaorang kena belanja kawan kat Pasir Putih Seafood...see at the back...ada gambar Tiger...mostly in Sabah, Seafood serve by Chinese, but do not worry, cause it is normal in Sabah, that is why they put "SERVE NO PORK"...but I always making jokes..."you see, that restaurant, SERVE NO FORK"...so, when you order, no fork given to you...just a spoon....when you ask them "why no fork?" Then they say, "of course la...no fork maaa.." When you ask again.."This restaurant serve pork la?" Diorang jawab "Ya la...babi ada, garfu saja talak..." Hehehehehe...just joking!...tengk aksi aku ambik gambar...
Suddenly my forex friend call me, Paramgmulau, from Kinabatangan. He came to Sandakan just to learn my technique, Teknik Penjejak Pips (TPP). So, that night, we stay till 2.30am...and I teach my friends how to use basic TPP...gila...sebab aku tak tidur2 lagi nih...esok aku kena bergerak awal untuk pulangkan kereta. Flight ke Tawau around 10.00am..so by 8.30am aku kena pulangkan kereta kawan...hmmm...penat...

The Tiring Journey ni tak habis lagi...ikuti sambungan seterusnya di Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kunak dan Semporna, kemudiannya bersambung semula ke Sg. Petani dan Teluk Intan...

By the way, tak banyak gambar yang aku akan attach dalam ni sebab, aku dan Rizan akan buat satu website koleksi gambar2 menarik dan indah yang kami tangkap menggunakan Nikon D80....nantikan kemunculan website photography kami....

Sambung nanti....wait!!!
