I came back a couple of hours ago from Sibu and am drained of almost all vitality from the flight, bus and taxi rides. We left on Saturday, the 19th, to Johor Bahru to catch a 2.25pm flight & we totally missed it. First, poor time management. Second, crazy jam at the customs. Third, taxi driver's fastest speed was 60. Three & a half, it had to rain heavily all of a sudden and the driver, who was probably in his 70's, couldn't see much (or at all) and drove at like, 20. It was so maddening when we realized we missed our damn flight.
We didn't have much of a choice and headed to a budget motel near the airport for the night. Though, we did have delicious Indian food at the store beside the motel for dinner and went there again for roti prata the next morning. Hated the motel & was really glad to leave for the airport at noon. Feel great to be on the flight to Sibu which should have been the previous day affair. Anyway, Sibu was good fun and relaxation.
Went to feed fishes and turtles at a park and ate yummy local food such as kampua and laksa, which in my opinion, is very different and nicer than Singapore's version. Slept in as usual but not as late as when I am in Singapore. Made a few plans for the future and people we know kept asking when we get married, which is not in any of our plans though.
Kinda regret the trip was so short(4D3N) but there ain't so many 'leave'(vacation days) to take. Our next trip will be in December for the wedding and time flies, so it'll be sooner than I think.
