Im back!!! Been very very free lately, so this post is a two-some!! 2 in one!
Today...
it all started out as a plan to go swimming with stella.. As promised, she came around at 8.25 to pick me up for swimming at MBKS swimming pool. When we actually reached there, it was closed, "Swimming pool buka pukul 2 la.. " .. Fine, then we decided to drive all the way to stampark - BDC. The wheather was fine, windy, not hot ... we landed, parked and got out of the car. Then to the notice board. Goodie! It's open from 9 till 11.30, great.. suddenly a voice from afar..
"Eh, miss you swimming??"
"Err... yeah... "
"Sorry la miss, today the contractor is renovating the cafe at the pool.. sorry la.. "
"Er.. really?? Does it take long?"
"It should be done by this evening lah.. But it's a last minute infrom, so sorry.."
From the sight of Nipah trees, Stella freaked, i was speechless... i didnt know where we were. wished i knew, but hey I DONT KNOW WHERE THE HELL WE ARE!! We panicked for like 3 minutes in the car, as each nipah tree passed us, eventually towards a small road with a contruction site at the end.. ZOMG!! We made a u turn, and started retracking.. all the way back.. going pass all the nipah trees.. SCARY!!!
ABout 20 minutes later, we were back at the roundabout, OUT FROM THE LOST WORLD!!! FINALLY, THANK HEAVENS!! We chose another path that *we were supposed to go to earlier on* and landed on KSP!! Yays! Got breakfast, then to the hospital where we searched aimlessly for stella's grannies which later, we found out were not there anymore.. Sighs.. then to Mita, where stel bought blueberry and pandan cake for her grannies... -_-!!
i got back to my house to pick up a few stuff, as stel drove to her grannies's house.. then she came back to pick me up and then back to her house as we waited for the pool to reopen at 2 pm. And as MSN's wheather forecast predicted, it actually RAINED at 2 pm.. so we waited for a while more, then at 3.. the sky was cleared, a sign!! Got in the car, to MBKS swimming pool.. and we had a good swim! Sayang, no cute guys, only annoying ones, trying to show off.. -_-!!
After a good swim, we went to eat at Hong Kong noodles house.. haha.. and that was a WRAP!!
Points to remember;
- always bring googles when swimming -_-!
- always be ready for an adventure when spending a day with stella
- always plan ahead before any outing with stella
- stella has nipahobophobia (fear of nipah trees!)
- any day with stella is a looong day!! heheeToday...

*yeah right, like you can trust a contractor...
Right, with long faces, we left the place and ended up at the road going to tabuan.. We were supposed to go to Kuching Specialist Centre (KSP) *stella's errand.. Somehow this alluring road from the other side of the roundabout drew us into another stream called 'Stutong Baru' - like idiots,we went in, and went on with it.. It was like a 10 minutes drive from the main road when we realised that we were actually LOST!! DEAD LOST!! Houses all over with numerical lorongs all not in order!! And the road leads wayyyyyyy into the unknown area. HELP US!!From the sight of Nipah trees, Stella freaked, i was speechless... i didnt know where we were. wished i knew, but hey I DONT KNOW WHERE THE HELL WE ARE!!
