Category: Going Places

After Eastwood Valley, my friend brought us to a very nice place, there’s an old golf course there, further up there a place where they known it as the middle of the sea. Hmmm… Many poeple like that place lot. It’s a place where the anglers like. The view is quite nice. That explains why I have so many photos of it hehehe… It’s not excatly a beach, don’t know how to explain. I saw it from my hotel room everyday day and I told myself that I should go there but hahaha… It’s quite far and have no idea how to go 😛

When we reached there, then I realised this is the place that I’ve been seeing everyday! Finally… The surrounding isn’t very nice but when you are there you can feel peace… I don’t know how to explain, it’s like the whole load of your stresses and burdens just gone away.

What is that small building? Hehehe… I have no idea…

View of South China Sea.

The city can be viewed from here.

Another view… At the far end, see the right end of the photo, there’s actually a place for seafood and there’s a very big seahorse there. You can climb up and view the sea from there. It’s too far, can’t capture it with my camera hehehe…

Left: On our way to Taman Awam Miri, we passed by Pelita Tunku. According to my friend, this is the earliest shopping complex in Miri.

Right: Taman Awam Miri(Miri Public Garden), it’s fondly known as the “hanging bridge” as there’s a hanging bridge there.

Left: Part of the garden.
Right: The bridge.

More of the bridge hahaha…

Left: See the slides below? It’s a public pool for the children to play in the evening.
Right: The walking path for evening stroll with your love ones.

Left: After the garden, we went to the airport. This is the departure hall.
Right: We were the 5th and 6th to check-in. WOW! My first time sitting at the front row of economy class hehehe… Too bad… No window seat this time… Sucks…

Manage to take some photos as the leg room is quite big in the front row, so could take some photos using zoom without distracting the guy sleeping at the window seat. The ride was quite bumpy due to the clouds and because of that the landing was delayed. We’re circling the sky for quite a while before getting the permission to land.

DONE! Phew… My 3 days in Miri…

The last day in Miri. My friend was supposed to go to work but he was “chased” home by his manager because they said that he’s not fully recover yet and don’t want the chicken pox virus to spread to other people in the office as he was infected by another colleague of his that went back to work four days after his chicken pox hahaha… He has nothing to do and decided to bring us around before sending us to airport. I thought I will be ready by 10.30am but apparently there are some packings that need to get done. He was there before 10.30am already, I didn’t know and told him to go to the hotel at 11am -.-” Finally checked out before 11am.

He drove us around Miri. We have to reach the airport before 1.20pm. So we still have few hours to tour around. First stop, he brought us to Canada Hill where you can see the Grand Old Lady up there hahaha… Funny name right?

The view from Canada Hill. Other area rained heavily already but not Miri city center yet. Actually it’s drizzling already. So… This is the place that I’ve been seeing all these while from my hotel room. I was wondering what was that place and I wanted to ask the room service people but hehehe… I didn’t ask at the end.

The first old well in Malaysia. The grand old lady that is! Hehehe… Does it looks like the an old lady? Hehehe… I guess so… The top is like the hat and the whole structure shape is like a lady wearing the victorian style gown. 😛

Left: This is… What? I have no idea, something to do with oil drilling also.
Right: The fountain, it depicts the molecules of petroleum. Remember your Chemistry? I don’t really remember, they’re called molecules or atoms? Hahaha…

The Petroleum Museum, you need to pay RM2 per entry. We didn’t go in after hearing that we need to pay to go in *LOL* Also we dont have the luxury of time, there are few more places to go before we catch our plane. If we had the time, I might consider paying the RM2 and took my sweet time there.

I didn’t know that there’re actually restaurant there operating at night. You can see the night view of Miri city centre. Very romantic place but at the same time you are feeding the “vampires”. 😛

Then, my friend brought us to Eastwood Valley, a place for golfers.

Golf course and the man made lake. You can paddle the boats there 😛 I think you have to pay, nothing is free. They also have accommodations there. People like to use this place for seminar, meeting or conference.

The platform. They are making new platform or they are repairing it? Not so sure.

Left: More view of the golf course.
Right: You can dine there while facing the lake.

The last part of Miri trip will come soon… I had to split day 3 into two parts as there are too many photos.
