Delhi on the metro = frantic

I'll elaborate about what happened today next time.....not so keen in relieving the experience I had today....

memang tak putus-putus mulut berdoa tadi....

Hopefully esok semuanya berjalan lancar.

We're taking the A/C super luxury coach to Agra. Hopefully it will live up to its name....

nak naik train, confirm ramai orang....train kat sini pelik, even though ko dah beli tiket, kalau seat takde, they'll just refund your money....maka terkapai-kapaila ko cari jalan pulang sendiri....

kalau naik kereta (with driver), harga dia Rs11000 (almost RM800) untuk kitorang berdua.....after our experience today, I realize the value of comfort in this overpopulated place, but I don't have RM800, even though pagi tadi aku sudah berjaya keluarkan duit dari HSBC,,,huhu

so, bus it is.....please pray for my safe journey ya....

P/S: macam mana la agaknye kesesakan orang pada musim haji ek?

broke in Delhi

lintas langsung dari Pahar Ganj, New Delhi

a long story to tell...but right now I just nak cerita pasal kisah beli sari...

kain sari yang murah² takde yang berkenan di mata saya

kain sari cotton colour dia agak dull

saya rasa sangat bodoh semasa membeli kain itu....tak tau betul ke tidak...

and I don't buy things that I don't like for my loved ones...

resulting in overspending.....darn....

if the money transfer doesn't get through by tomorrow....kempunanla aku nak gi Agra tengok Taj Mahal

duduk diam² dalam bilik jelah jawabnya since me and my brother only have about USD120 between us to last until Sunday....

puh puh...harap² CIMB jangan lembab sangat...

saya rindu (I'm missing something)

The thing that I really, really miss the most since I started going out of Miri during the weekends is....

ROAD TRIPPING WITH FRIENDS!!!

This picture is taken from Rush's blog, Tepak Sireh.....we went for a road trip/camping to Loagan Bunut (but we stayed in the National Park's hostel).....ala-ala Camel Trophy...to those who want to go down the memory lane with me, click this link to Rush's entry.

P/S: there's a lot more things that I miss actually, like lepak-lepak at the beach doing nothing...

what a day!

we set out for Brunei around 10.20 am after exchanging currencies in e-mart. we thought the haze around permyjaya/senadin/miri town is bad...little that we know it gets worse as we go towards the border...

it's like driving through a tragic movie where disaster had strike....except for the fact that people in the car were a bit too cheerful and excited singing to the hits from the 80's...

happily posing with red fire engine....

one of the volunteers giving us the thumbs up (maybe for surviving the disastrous ride)

the view from the comfy car....it was drizzling and hazing outside...

at the Sungai Tujuh border, one of the custom officers pointed out that one of the tyres is flat, we decided to pump air at the nearest Shell station, however once we get there, we found out there's a tear on the tyre itself and air is wheezing out of it...so, we decided to drive as slow as possible to kuala belait where we can get new tyre...unfortunately, the situation worsened and we are forced to stop in the middle of a bend...

we needed a manual to figure out (first of all), how to get the spare tyre out of its place....THAT took us almost 30 minutes...

the flat tyre...

up-close...

the driver positioning the jack...

"sikit lagi...sikit lagi!!!" we cheered on....which did not help much, judging by the look on his face...

this is what we call teamwork...in total we got the deed done in 52 mins!

the manual reader....

so...how many engineers does it take to change a flat tyre?

THREE - one to read the manual, one to photograph the whole process (that person is yours truly), one to actually change the tyre and one geologist which did as much work as the 3rd engineer.

after that, we couldn't wait until we reach Gadong to get lunch...we had it in KB since there is also a tyre shop there....I only remembered to take the photo after we finished our meal...

Then, off we go to Madang, for the soft launching of Ikmal's CROCS shop.

Ikmal's sis took some pictures of us in the shop, however I didn't remember to take any...

I only managed to take a snapshot of Ikmal in front of his shop as we're leaving... each of us got something from the shop...even Anura was initiated to his first pair of crete canvas Crocs...

I got myself a turqoise Malindi and a Mardi Gras jibbits...

Then, we're off to the Mall in Gadong..

for some retail therapy....that white snake skin patterned heels from Charles & Keith look like a Jimmy Choo's... the only difference is the latter costs 4000 pounds and this one is 47 Bruneian Dollars...unfortunately, this is the last pair and a size bigger for me... :(

then, we watched GI Joe...one of the main agenda of this trip...I so wish that Miri's cineplex is going to be upgraded soon...thumbs up for this movie!

reached Miri about 9.50 pm and had dinner at Muara 2. ZZzzzzZZzzz

P/S: walaupun penat, tetapi kami rasa gembira
