My SIL told me the Kelantanese made up the most number of Peninsular people here. Just yesterday I found one couple selling nasi berlauk and nasi kerabu in the neighbouring Taman. The couple wont be selling anything today as they were exhausted and wanted to take a rest today. Business must be good then.<BR/>Please write about the Mabul and Sipadan Island trip of yours, it will make an interesting read.<BR/>I have not only hugged Balqis for you but I have also given her a goodnight kiss on that pinkish cheek of hers.<BR/>Hope you are done with your preparation for Canada now.

We were told the sun was rising at 4.45 am, so at that time, we all trooped off, excited to see the sun rise so early...<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, we were 'confronted' by the soldiers who were there to protect us (it was slightly after the Sipadan Abu-Sayyaf kidnappings of Malaysians...Wait, it <I>was</I> Abu Sayyaf, right? Sorry if wrong). They had rifles and they growled: "<I>Nak gi mana?</I>"<BR/><BR/>We answered: "<I>Tengok matahari</I>"...<BR/><BR/>They grinned and said: "<I>Tak leh. Balik tido</I>"... <BR/><BR/>We meekly went (they have guns, you know)...Hehe!<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to share that...Will probably blog about Sipadan and Mabul one day...<BR/><BR/>You enjoy your time in Labuan with little Princess Balqis, k? Give her a hug for me, will you? =)Daphne Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203105761769093793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-30345411853447864232008-06-22T20:56:00.000+08:002008-06-22T20:56:00.000+08:00en_me,Seronok jugala kerana dapat dok lama lama d...en_me,<BR/>Seronok jugala kerana dapat dok lama lama disini.

I have problem too trying to visit evry friends blog and post a comment but we understand each others limitation. <BR/>We have to live with AirAsia whether we like it or not. Thanks to it MAS is now copying the strategy and thus build in some low fare just to fill up seats during the off peak season. At times I get cheap fares on MAS too.<BR/>Hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to post more picturs on Labuan as I have taken alot of pictures yesterday. Please come back in a day a too if you have an interest on Labuan. I think Mrs TA will enjoy coming to Labuan.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-11000457650820740022008-06-21T15:07:00.000+08:002008-06-21T15:07:00.000+08:00kerp,You must set foot in Sabah and Sarawak first ...kerp,<BR/>You must set foot in Sabah and Sarawak first before coming to Labuan. You need to do Saawak Cultural Village and when in Sabah visit the House of Monsopiad. From KK you just take a ferry ride to Labuan and finally fly back to KL. Or you can do them one at a time. I have done all three only that in Sabah I have yet to do the highlands.<BR/>Anyway Labuan is no more a part of Sabah. Its a Wilayah Persekutuan now. That Miniter need more areas to be in his ministry to jstify the existence of his ministry even though is post is utterly unnecessary and unjustifiable.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-81253122630159451532008-06-21T07:38:00.000+08:002008-06-21T07:38:00.000+08:00Hey Zawi ...

Saya akan melihatnya dari sudut yang jarang di lihat oleh mata umum. <BR/>Saya memahami masalah AirAsia as a budget airlines they have to maximise everything to stay afloat. They have to maximise revenue and maintain a low operating cost so that they can maintain low fares. We have to bear some delays sometimes. KLIA is undergoing major reairs to their runway to cater for the super jumbo Airbus 380 and only one runway is serviceable now. As long as KLIA is using a single runway, delays are inevitable as planes have to queue up to take off. What many doesn't know is that planes have to queue up to land too especially during the homing period around 10 PM. Planes are stacked up 'sky high' circling the airports waiting for their turn to land. Things will be better when the second runway is completed as they can dedicate each lane for take off and landing making it more efficient.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-22478844712039052032008-06-20T05:39:00.000+08:002008-06-20T05:39:00.000+08:00jt,It was a lucky shot as I took it on the spur of...jt,<BR/>It was a lucky shot as I took it on the spur of the moment. Lucky as it turned out OK.<BR/>Adorable Balqis has been my model for photography since day one. Now she knows when I am taking her photograph and she will put up a beautiful smile. Akmal has and some experience shooting her. Once when I was so sleepy, Akmal helped out by nannying her while I took my much needed sleep on a lazychair.<BR/>AirAsia tried to give their best service but as with anything, things sometimes go wrong due to reasons beyond their control. Things like the weather, breakdowns (they have the youngest fleet so tey dont suffer much due to breakdown), staff not turning up for work, runway congestions etc can always throw a spanner in the works. During their start up period they will try to fill up every seat before they take off and will delay their flight until that is done. Nowadays they try to avoid delays as it will lead to more delays. If you have a connecting flight on other airlines for your onward journeys, better have a bigger time window as anything can happen. Overall they have given a good service and thanks to them now 'everyone can fly'.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-27302190962780838762008-06-20T05:24:00.000+08:002008-06-20T05:24:00.000+08:00arejae,Keadaan awanlah yang memberikan warna pada ...arejae,<BR/>Keadaan awanlah yang memberikan warna pada langit.
