Prologue Part 1 of 2

I have my first taste of escape thanks to the long 3 day weekend.  I took the chance and drive all the way to Miri from Kuching.  Insipired by Top Gear, I thought I'd challenge myself racing against time, but since I'd never survive to post about this if I drive at night, I departed at dawn instead.

Dawn! Go go go!
Since people will say that I need a picture to proof that I've driven all the way to Miri, here's a picture of a dog:

Really, this is a Miri dog.

(more after the break)

Right.. I'm quite lazy to type today so here's some random pictures along the way

First stop, I have no idea where this is

My friend help me took some pics while I'm busy driving

No idea what happened too, all I know there's this big truck in a weird position, and then there's this little pick-up truck all smashed up in the drain.

I think this is Sibu...

Some bridge near Sibu

This should be approaching Bintulu

I've failed to reach Miri before Dusk, so I failed to achieve my goal.  Was mighty glad that I made it in one piece considering the downpour just after Batu Niah area.  Had to drive under 40km/h all the way to Miri in the dark.

I reached Dillenia Guest-house but Mrs Lee was out, so I had my dinner at 6000 cafe downstairs.
Over glorified carrot juice, nothing special.

But the spaghetti was the best I've tried in my life!  Eating them with chopsticks and spoon felt a little bit weird to be honest.

Finally Dillenia Guest-house, probably the nicest place in Miri.
