Island Life..is not for me!

Owh! I miss writing here. I miss bloghopping. yes! I miss you! (err.. even if nobody miss reading me here haha)
But anyway, I 'm currently out of the office and have been on Labuan island since last week. All I can say about Island life is : Boringgg! haha. Seriously, for an island this size, nothing much to see and definitely not many places that you can go too! so it's strictly work, work & work for me and the other 2 colleagues of mine. But if you think that I only thought of 'work matter' all the time, then by golly, you don't know me well, my friend.
I made a quick trip by ferry to Kota Kinabalu via (Menumbok port) last Friday with my colleague. We followed a local staff who was going back to KK to visit his family and we spent 2 nights at a hotel in KK for a short shopping trip & managed to met up with old friends there. The ferry ride on Friday night was smooth (it's a huge ferry - one where all sort of vehicles can came on board) and very stable. You didn't even feel the waves the fact that we bought and swallowed seasick pill (Novomin) right before the journey made us laughed! (and drowsy to the point where we fell asleep even before the ferry take off). After 1 and half hour, we reached Menumbok (a very-very small town) and continue the journey by road for 2 hours to reach KK. Luckily our friend is driving a cool and very comfortable car, so I didn't feel the hours at all. By Sunday afternoon, we were back in Labuan. and here I am. Dreading the next few days before I'm off to Peninsular Malaysia again.
p/s: The only comfort being here is that : Prices for (imported) chocolates are dirty cheap! and Liquor & ciggarettes too.

Shue,
Hey.. but I miss you! Been wondering where have you been these days, and now I know.
Tak suka pulau ek, tak buleh masuk Survivor la kalo gini. Hehe!

Well on the seasick pill, better be safe than sorry, eh? At least buleh gak tido atas feri. Hehe!

Did you shop lots of chocs then? Take care and try to have fun (hehe) while you're there!
