I am feeling sad today because I have lost a good friend. A faithful friend and companion. She tottered up to me and Mrs BB, looked at us before she left us. The whole family is in grief. I let Benghui blog about it to ‘let go’ a bit of his grief.
The house is so silent and quiet without Oopi. I feel the loss so much.
To not think about it, I will blog about my trip to Mukah and post some pics.

The road was very bad. Really bad not just some stretches but almost throughout the journey from Selangau junction to the Balingian junction. I was just praying aloud and thanking God I didn’t drive and chose to use the bus instead. The bus was half an hour late and we arrived in Mukah at about 2030. First thing I did was to look for the WC and guess what? It was locked.

Some blogger friends arrived soon after and took us to a place I don’t know what or where. There was a crowd there just enjoying the Pesta Kaul atmosphere.

These boys were selling colored sticks for about a ringgit each. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

We were hungry and had a chicken wing each, some noodles and a drink for a grand total of only RM5.00 each.

We stayed at Kingwood Mukah Resort. It is by the South China Sea.

The lobby was spacious and there was a nice ambience about the place. Definitely not a budget hotel.

We didn’t have much luggage so moving around was easy.

Our room had a sea-view. Very nice.

Spacious too.
( To be continued )
There are just so many festivals at the Borneo states that i’m not really aware of.
Road to Mukah from sibu is terrible. My sis give up in the half way because she afraid her lovely car broke down.
I been planning to make my maiden trip to Mukah for some time now but was postponed due to the bad road as I don’t want to damage my vehicle
Losing a good friend is really painful and sad.
What is Pesta Kaul?
Me, too, I ask the same question, is it some kind of a holy feast?
I am sorry to hear about your losing.
My WS entry this week : in HERE. I hope you have time to visit. Thanks

* What is Pesta Kaul?
> oh gosh!! what a question?? ….what u know about malaysia culture?
Geez…the room looks spacious and clean.
The pain will stay! But you guys have to move on right? Oopi want you guys to be happy too.
The room looks very big. Hmm, I don’t know where Mukah is, have to check with my friend, google map.
I am so sorry to hear about Oopi.
I really feel for your son. Grief and loss is a hard lesson for a young child to learn, but learn it they must.
He’s lucky to have 2 very supportive parents though.
Sorry about Oopi. Lovely snapshots though!
Mine’s here.
Good highlights about the Pesta Kaul, please keep them coming. It’s a pity these festivities aren’t highlighted in the peninsula, I just think they’re great.
wow! the ambiance indeed looks great. ahhh… vacation vacation!
your hotel looks nice, and the bad road looks just like some of our bad roads here.:D
I’m sorry about Oopi
!
The trip sounds like it was a great one.
Glad you seem to have had a good Hotel and a good time!
I thought the road is better than that in West Malaysia..?
it was a rough ride. for big vehicles i suppose is alright but most cars will suffer long term damage if the driver is not skilled
It looks like you had a fun week-end! Did you buy one of those colored sticks?
Happy Monday!
The road to Mukah is terrible. I think that’s the reason why I had only been to this town twice.
