We used two cars and a van to Lundu. Miss Jenny and Miss Iris, Liew Jiek and Liew Shuen, Eunice and Delyse, Morgane, Rhiana and Imogen, Adeline, Karen and me were using the van there. The van has got a teeny weeny air conditioner which is hopeless so we had our windows open through out the whole journey. The van driver was driving fast and furiously, and the van wasn't that stable, so I was quite worried. ==
The ride was about one and a half hour so Morgane, Liew Jiek and me were singing in the van. XD My phone became their radio.
In the van. Look at the air conditioner, don't you think it's too petite?
Liew Jiek and Morgane.
Let me just breifly describe how our rooms were like. We were separated into 3 rooms, each room with less than 8 people. I don't know about the others but my room mates were Miss Jenny, Liew Jiek, Morgane, Eunice, Delyse, Yi Xin and of course, me! We had 4 bunk beds in each room and the room is very simple. No toilet and bathroom in the room because it was the 'Hostel Room'. So practically, we had to go to the restroom near our room to get cleaned or go to pee. It was troublesome I tell you!
The worst thing is, we had to use only cold water to shower because no hot water was provided. Every night and morning when some of us showered, we'll scream our heads off because the water was icy cold! Me and Morgane were the loudest, because people outside can hear our scream. ==
The view from the window of my room.
Renovation going on just outside of our room.
We dominated this hallway. XD
Bunk beds. Not to forget that the beds are very noisy. It squeaks whenever you move, turn, touch, lie, sit, stand, shake or do anything on the bed. Staying still is the only way to not make any noise.
This is where we pee and shower.
The toilet with 6 sinks. It was so fun brushing our teeth and washing our face together.
We used this to dry our plates and to warm our body.
The hotel.
The pathway to the chalets.
The baby pool which is very shallow. The slide there is also too small for me.
When we reached there on Tuesday, we went swimming straight away after they settled everything. It was a hot day. I went swimming despite my heavy period. Nothing happened actually. :D
Group photo. :P
Miss Jenny, Liew Shuen and Miss Iris.
I love this photo!
Me, Miss Iris and Yi Xin. Wth am I bending my legs?
Look at them... Tsk tsk tsk....
Morgane and Rhiana.
After we showered and changed our clothes, we went to Miss Layna's room for steamboat. It was prepared by them grown ups. Us kids helped to wash the raw food, cut stuff and etc etc.
Look at Derrick, so hardworking... XD
Preparing stuff.
Steam boat. :P
After we finished, we killed time by playing games. I was taking photos and looking at them playing.
Oh and, I did packed my multi-purpose radio and carried it all the way here just to realized that I forgot the freaking cord that connects the radio to the switch. GAH! How stupid am I? So my multi-purpose radio is now a useless item. ==
Until Morgane wanted to charge her camera's battery that I realized the cord was the same. I did my happy scream. :D Now I can listen to my iPod with my radio because it is multi-purpose. ;)
Sakai people. ==
Later on, Russell's parents booked the KTV lounge and all of us went for karaoke. Yi Xin. Morgane and me sang Bleeding Love. There weren't any new songs, most of them were the really old Chinese song and the really old English songs.
Teacher Layna singing.
KTV lounge. It was my first time.
Miss Jenny and Liew Shuen.
We went back to our room at about 11pm. We brushed our teeth and showered and wash our face together at the toilet. It was fun. :) I went back to the room and got ready to sleep while the others wanted to watch movies. They were using Russell's laptop to watch. The first movie was Princess Protection Program. The laptop was opposite my bed so I peeked. But I unconciously fell asleep. ==
I woke up at around 8am and Morgane said she slept at 6am. == She watched three movies. Whoa. We had toast for breakfast.
The younger ones went swimming already. :O So after eating my toasts, I went to the swimming pool to look at them swim.
Toasts.
Nice shot. :)
Having fun jumping into the pool over and over again. ==
Imogen, Rhiana, Liew Shuen, Morgane, Hui Hui and Delyse.
Jump of joy.
Morgane and Imogen doing back somersault.
The 'Annie' pose.
Imogen and Morgane. Imogen is half Australian while Morgane is half French.
Another somersault.
And another....
Until they started throwing people into the pool.. It's Delyse.
At noon, we watched movies again in the room. We ate a lot of junk food. XD My big bag of junk food was already half empty... ==
We put matresses on the floor while watching the movie and it feels like we were having a big slumber party. ;)
In the afternoon, we went to Lundu town. It was so small and it doesn't have any shopping mall, just grocery shops and a market and a lot of coffee shop. We went into one of the coffee shop and had a drink there to replenish ourselves. We've been walking under the sun for 15 minutes if I'm not mistaken. We were touring the town. 15 minutes is like enough already.
Failed promoter I suppose...
Candid.
It's a small small place.
Morgane and Liew Jiek.
We went back to the hotel and started swimming again.. :P
In the evening, we had our dinner at the hotel. It was a buffet dinner.
Teacher Layna and Miss Jenny.
Hui Hui and Miss Jenny.
Morgane and Rhiana.
Dinner time.
Russell, Jia Le and Derek.
Do they look like sisters?
After spending some time watching people playing snooker and singing out loud to songs on the loudspeaker, it was time for karaoke again. This time, Morgane, me, Yi Xin and Miss Iris sanged quite a lot of songs. We sang Unfaithful, My Heart Will Go On, Dancing Queen, Lucky and so many more... My voice went all husky after that.
Yi Xin and Miss Iris singing Forever Love.
We were bored when they sang the old songs.
We went back to our rooms at about 10.30pm. We got oursleves ready to sleep. Miss Jenny even insisted on listening to Classical music on my iPod using the radio. So we listened to Classical music until all of us dozed off. It was a night to remember.
The next day again, we had toast for breakfast. I didn't get to swim because it was already hot. So, most of us packed our luggage and get ourselves ready to go home. I took a few random photos while walking in the hotel's premises.
We didn't use the van to go back to Kuching because it was hot. Instead, we used Teacher Layna's car, Russell's dad's car, Jia Le's car and Derrick's car.
Reached Kuching at 1.30pm yesterday.
That is a summary of our trip. Hope you enjoy reading them. It took me a few hours to write this post because I had to upload so many photos... Now my neck hurts.
P/S: After all the junk food, I'm gonna look fat in my dinner dress for the Leo Anniversary night tonight. So many performances are cancelled. :(
