They arrived KK on the 13th Dec. Leong Koh picked them up from the airport since Syn Koh and family had to rush to Kudat to see Yee Zhong in hospital. These few days, we spent time visiting Gaya Street, finding nyiu chap, visiting Gemak's grave, shopping etc. Our must-visit place was Tg. Aru Beach, which we visited almost everynight. We craved for fresh sotong, appetizing sate kambing and refreshing fruit juice. Admiring waves lapping against the shore was never in my plan but the fact that Tawau has no such 'recreational' beach is understandable. We used to 'devour' tonnes of sweet corns while observing the wave activities.
Visiting Gemak's newly completed tomb was one of our priorities. I had the privilege to drive Nah Nah Jye Jye to the grave on the second day. Just the two of us, quite intimidating - not becoz of the little2 frends there but we were afraid of our safety. We briefly cleaned Gemak's grave and placed a decorative plant there - hoping it will grow without daily human care. On the same day we visited 1Borneo and in the evening, had a dinner with Leong Koh & fam + Min Fui Sau them. Syn Koh & family had returned home by the time we reached home. Wei Zi, who was not feeling well joined us but Yeh2 and San2 stayed on in the short-term theology course.
Nah Nah Jye Jye's visit is summed up in the following chronological list of activities:
Day 1 - Arrival, dinner. Visited Tg Aru beach + supper
Day 2 - Visited Gaya Street, Likas Sqr, Gemak's grave. Afternoon, visited 1Borneo, to bus terminal 2 buy tickets and had dinner with Leong Koh them at home
Day 3- I returned to work. To Tg Aru at night + ate 2nd round supper in a mamak shop at downtown KK
Day 4 - Looked for nyiu chap in Kolombong. Sent Nah Nah Jye2 to CP. I went to Wawasan instead. Then met at CP's foodcourt for lunch. Mee Tzia & kids also with us. Sent them home and santai-santai there for a while. Drove Nah Nah Jye2 to S'panggar Port. View was so beautiful. Proceed to Nexus and puding hawkers near Mengkabong. Tried coconut pudding and roasted clamps. Visited Tg Aru again at night
Day 5 - In the noon, Prajurit and I sent SA7104 to fix its aircond. Managed to solve the problem and it costed me RM90. Then, other minor new problem cropped up. To Tg Aru beach at night
Day 6 - They all went to the beach so early in the morning. I just couldn't get up. Supposed to kai-kai with Nah Nah Jye2 but suddenly got diarrhea + not feeling well. Sent them to KK and I returned home to rest. Luckily Prajurit gave ubat. In late noon, Prajurit and I re-visited the car aircond shop. Alas, the mechanic can't help with the car problem - aircond ok but engine volume
not stable. Prajurit tried to fix the problem himself, but not successful. My sakit worsened
Day 7 - Ok a bit, sent them to terminal and bade farewell. Returned to work
