Yup … I am back from Miri. I stayed for a night in Miri. Went down in wee hours and my first stop had been Miri International Airport. Those who don't know me might think that I am going for a vacation coz the amount of stuffs that I brought had been exaggerating.

Okay … I brought a trolley luggage. On the night before I was due to go Miri, I asked my mom where she put the trolley luggage. She thought I must be crazy for bringing such a huge luggage when I am staying for ONE night only. Hahaha …

Our conversation went on like this:

Mom: How many nights are you intending to stay in Miri?

Me: One.

Mom: Then why are you bringing such a huge trolley luggage?

Me: I am bringing my laptop and I am lazy to carry loads of stuffs. So, might as well just stuff everything in one big luggage.

Mom: *Speechless*

It took me a while to pack my luggage as I am trying to make sure that my notebook gets the maximum protection from shock. So, I had my clothes stuffed around the edges of my notebook. I even bought a pink toiletries bag so that I could store all my toiletries in there. Hahaha …

My first stop had been Miri International Airport coz Patrick is flying back to Singapore. And I have got stuffs that I needed him to pass to Andrea. He thought that I was catching a plane too coz I had brought quite a huge luggage like I said earlier on. Even his parents were fooled. I told them that I am staying overnight in Miri hence I brought my trolley luggage. And when Alan arrived and had helped me with my luggage, he had also asked the same question like my mom. Hahaha … Perhaps, nobody would ever expect someone to put their laptop in a trolley luggage since it's not something advisable to do.

After we had sent Patrick off, Alan and I went to Morsjaya to have breakfast since it's near to the airport. And guess what happened? We got a fine ticket for not displaying parking coupon as we only intended to check whether there any seat available. What a day to start! The actual amount needed to pay for not displaying parking coupon was RM20 but since he paid right after he got the fine ticket, RM10 was being waived off.

Since there's no seat available at Morsjaya, we went to the town centre to have breakfast. We bumped into my colleague and chatted for quite long. And when we got back to the car, there's another fine ticket awaiting us. *duh* What a day!

After breakfast, we went to collect my newly made glasses from one of the optical store in Mega Hotel. Initially, I planned just to change the lenses but I got a whole new rimless spec in the end.

Later in the afternoon, we went to Bintang Mall for window shopping. I've bought a new pair of heels from S.O.S. It was RM49.90. It was cheap compared to the ones that were sold in Brunei. It has got about the same design just different brand name. And the good thing is that it's quite comfortable for a start. I love the shoes' shops in Bintang Mall. It's a paradise for shoes lovers like me! Hahaha …

And bought some hair accessories from Princess Club. The sales lady in the store kept on following me. Well, that's the typical "service" they give in most of the shops in Malaysia. It took me about 30 minutes before I made my payment. She must be thinking how much longer do I need before I am paying. In the end, I bought about five pieces of items at RM28.50.

Anyways, I bought two new books from Popular Bookstore. Lucky that I did not get Sophie Kinsella – Twenties Girl from Best Eastern. The price at Best Eastern was horrendous. Bloody $42.90 when Popular was only selling for RM32.90 for the same thing. *sweat*

I invited Lina for dinner at Citrus yesterday night. It had been great and fun. The food was really nice. The ambience of the restaurant was not bad as well. It's a great place to celebrate Valentine. Lina told us that she had been there for about three times. And there was one time when she came to celebrate her friend's birthday at sometime before Valentine or on Valentine Day itself. Then I teased her that they must be singing Happy Birthday to the birthday guy or girl when the other couples were murmuring "I Love You" to each other. Hahaha …

And they had not remove the Valentine decoration despite Valentine Day was more than two weeks ago.

We were extremely full when we finished our dinner. We even had desserts. Surprisingly! Initially, we thought that the portion for their main course wouldn't be very big so we ordered dessert. In the end, we had trouble finishing our food. Half of my food was left untouched coz I was too full. But we did manage to finish our dessert coz it was really nice despite being overly sweet.

1. Garden Salad (RM6.50)

This came out pretty fast as there's no need for frying, baking or whatsoever. Lina looked a bit disappointed when her food arrived. I think she hasn't been expecting that her Garden Salad would come out like that?

2. Chicken Baked Rice (RM9.90)

Lina recommended Alan this dish. The proportion was kinda big. And surprisingly, Alan did not manage to finish even though he's a big eater. And the most surprising thing is that even a fussy food eater like him said that his food was nice.

3. Linguine Carbonara (RM14.90)

I love it! The pasta was cooked just right and the beef bacon was nicely done. I am pretty sure that the pasta would taste even better if they use pork bacon but pork is banned in a Halal restaurant. Initially, I wanted to try their lamb chop. But once I saw the portion of it, I decided not to order. It took me quite some time to decide. I had also thought of ordering Marinara Linguine. But since I was wearing a white shirt cum black tube, I don't think it was a good idea. I will be having a hard time trying to get the stain off if I accidentally spilled some sauce on my shirt.

4. Apple Crumble (RM12.90)

At first, we requested the waitress to cancel this item. But then, we were being told that they had finished preparing the dessert so we had no choice but to continue stuffing ourselves with more food! Frankly speaking, the apple sauce is even sweeter than the ice-cream itself. The only thing on the dish which was not sweet was the apples. Hahaha … I love the waffle on the bottom of the ice-cream.

In overall, my rating for the store was 8.5 out of 10. The only thing which I wasn't that satisfied with was the waiting time for the food to come. But since the food was pretty nice, it was worth the wait afterall.
