Another day trip

yesterday, i went to Marudi, my old hometown, after 5 long years. haha. i was originally from there, then after form 3 my family and i moved down to Miri.

Marudi is a small town, very peaceful and quiet. not much happenings there. well, one thing special about this town is, u get famous very fast if u did something out of ordinary.either you score good results, or you score very badly. both also will get the same fame. every single little thing happen in the town everyone will know. so, in a way people know each other well in the town. like this time i went back(my mom was with me), we walked on the street and every few steps someone will greet my my mom and asked "eh, when u came back?aiya, so long nvr see ad. this is your son ah? wah, grow up so much liao"...so i have to smile all the way through cause almost everyone on the street we know one(at least my mom know, some i nvr see b4 also....)

about knowing each other, another special thing(from my opinions..) about Marudi is, people here, especially the elders know the youngsters by asking "whose son are you?" or for youngsters, "are you the so and so's brother?"...they dun really remember your names though, normally they will remember your father or mother's name. sweat...haha...

well, anyway, again, i took some pics. after so many years, the town is still the same. haha, not much changes.

the park

some random pics, the street that i used to go to my church last time.

the library, mini one beside the hill. the hill is called the royal hill, there's a fortress up there, now is a museum. this time din get to go up and take pic. maybe next time.

hmm...the road in marudi, quite ok though. the building on the right is the Foo Chow Association, still remember last time i always had my english tuition up there...

another random pic...

the famous Marudi Kue Teow. very different from west malaysia or miri one.taste different too, nicer i think.haha...

the express we used to come back from miri. we went up using car. actually can use plane also, but expensive.

inside the express.

the miri jetty. just under the Asean Bridge.

another view. that's not my car...

the Asean Bridge that we used to cross the Baram river to Brunei. haha...the river water very yellowish hoh? a lot of mud inside. on the way back can see crocodiles(or alligators, they ran away too fast, cannot see properly) somemore...

it was a nice trip though. Thank God. haha, but then now realize i miss the town a lot. haha...i guess humans are like that, we only treasure something when we are no longer having it. lol...
