Christmas Eve Mass at CMI
Christmas Day Mass.. Patrick 2nd time as Altar Boy
On the 30th Dec, we fly to Sandakan with AA early morning, then we boarded a bus to Lahad Datu to attend the Presbyteral ordination of Deacon David Geraman which was celebrated on the next day (31st December 2010) at St Dominic Church.. on the road, me and hubby was looking at the scenery outside... a lot of Palm tree which is for us is like wow banyaknya.. hee hee... when we came closer to Sukau, suddenly we heard a sound of stone throwing and the Bus windshield was cracking!!! the bus driver stopped the bus at the side of the road and calling for backup... huhuhuhu... we were transferred to a mini bus and it take us 5 hours to reach Lahad Datu.. the mini bus permit was only works at the area we stopped and unfortunately there was a JPJ checking so.. we have to wait until the JPJ checkpoint is remove... we stayed at Hotel Silam.. not bad.. and it is situated at the town, which is easy for us to go Jalan2 and cari makan... we ate seafood as dinner.. it was tasty and consider cheap... after Dinner we went back to the Hotel and going to bed early... hee hee... cos very tired of the 5 hours journey..
Mum and Patrick at Lahad Datu Town
31st, woke up early... Patrick and my mum having breakfast at the Hotel ( free voucher ) me and hubby went to the town searching good breakie... and we found one.. taste good... after the breakfast, we are getting ready to go to church.. and we had called a taxi to take us there... after the Mass, we called a taxi again to bring us to the Hotel cox we are going back to Sandakan and fly back to KK the next day.. we not even going to the fellowship lunch.. huhuhuhuhu... we booked a bus seat, and guess what? is the same Bus which windshield was broken yesterday.. they fixed it.. cox they was booked by a Catholic woman League from Sandakan to the Celebration... the bus picked us up and bring us to the Church again ( hahahaha ) to pick the Woman League and Sister... Mum and Patrick went to the church again to find food hee hee ( although we have ate a proper meal before we boarded the bus ).. when everybody aboard , we were on the road again... this time with a smooth journey.. at Sandakan we were staying at Tyng Hotel which is far from Sandakan Town.. we planned to rent a car.. but due to the busy NEW Year countdown, the rented car was fully rented :P.. so we called for taxi again... and we went to Ocean King Seafood Restaurant for Dinner.. Tasty and Expensive... hee hee... after the dinner the same taxi came to pick us up.. and we told him ( the taxi driver ) our plan to visit Sepilok next morning... and he offered his self for bringing us to the place.. which is good... fare was set and we went back to the Hotel.. it was a tiring day, we not even have the mood to see the countdown in the TV nor at the outside of the Hotel.. I barely heard fireworks at the Midnight, and said Happy New year to my hubby.. and I doubted if he heard it... hee hee...Zzzzz...
1st Jan.. HAPPY 2011 NEW YEAR... we woke up early again... we went to the shop nearby for breakie.. after breakfast, we went back to the Hotel to pack, cox the taxi driver offer to pick the bags up, when he go to Sepilok to fetch us and direct to the Airport.. around 8 am, the Taxi Pakcik arrived.. and we go to Sepilok.. seeing orang utan been feed, slide show and a very expensive ice cream ( it was tourist price ).. and it still early for the Airport.. we ask the Pakcik driver if we have time to jln2 at town? and we were brought to Pu Ji Shi Temple, to Tanah Merah seafood Bah Kut Teh for lunch... and sightseeing of Sandakan Town.. huhuuhu than we off to the Airport..
