How I View Sandakan... PART ONE

Time really flies. My progress in settling down here has somehow gotten really slow by the day. Transportation has somehow is the biggest culprit in holding me down from conquering Sandakan. I've managed to make a couple of friends here, but since i dont really have a car to move around, my socializing with the society halted. Not that i am complaining but it's killing me knowing that i have limitation in moving around. However, I've resort myself to mini bus. It's called a mini bus, but in actually it's a van. This mini bus will go from village to village. I dont wanna use bandar as i feel it's an inaccurate depiction of the reality. Why call a pekan..bandar?

Sandakan has dozens of bandars. Altho.. the definition of bandar here is an area with 3 rows of shopshouses. Haha

Anyway, I'm already here about a month and 4 days but i havent felt like ive settled down here. I dont know.. there are still quite a few unresolved issues that i left behind. in KL i mean. After a month i'm starting to doubt myself on the decision coming here. Yes, the working experiences here is great but also very stresful, the downside is i dont have the channel to let Go. With no clean karaoke spots to go, i have to resort to karaoke di dalam kapal. There are lots of karaoke longues here though, with GROs around. but the feel is different. And bila masuk macam terpaksa rasa macam nak kena minum pula.

OKay first and foremost, letme bring you to bandar bandar which is located along the coastal highway. Bandar ni banyak jual ikan bakar. Which are really cheap. Siakap bakar can get dalam price rm 5- rm 7. Fish eaters should stay in Sandakan. FIsh are cheap... especially the raw ones. tapi kena rajin memasak di rumah la pulak.


Bayang aku macam darth vedder. Maybe aku keturunan Sith Lord. Erk. That's my transport to work. woohoooo. Actually this bus mini in the pic is among the good ones. Otherwise it'll be a very old van that is falling apart. Being in the mini bus has made me think a lot, like on why actually agreed on coming here. erkkk. remember, no complain! syyyy

I bet this was one of those sarang spots. Tak tahu what actualy happened to this club.

Coastal highway nih actually banyak juga setinggan. It's an eye sore. Sandakan was once said to be the filthiest town in Malaysia. But only at certain areas along this highway. As a whole, Sandakan is developing alot. You can see a more organised construction at the new town, Mile 4.

I focused on a wrong subject. There was this leaking tanker carrying diesel stopped in the middle of the road causing a traffic jam. The bomba was merely preparing for the worse if the tanker explodes or somthin. Finally, i found jam in Sandakan. God, i miss KL so much. hehe

Never entered this ship yard. But it is Along the way to my office tho..

Pergi kerja pun mau naik bot. One of the yard is on an island which takes me about 10 minutes boat ride from the yatch club.

Anyway, That's it for now. Basically the small towns in the pics are old towns. The new town in Mile 4 is a bit more fancy. Especially after 11PM. Ohyeahhh.

NEW HOME ADDITIONS... ohyeahh

Mari memasak. Kamu ingat ada amah mau masak untuk kamu??? Erk. why am i speaking in that tone. I'm catching up fast.
Cheers all. Sorry blog a bit boring. Tengah ngantuk nak tido. Hehe and guess what? I'm leaving to KL tomorrow for one night visit. Friday balik sinih balik. Malu nka ngaku but i declare myself... HOMESICK. There you go.... biarlah tak macho pon.

Best regards.
