Day 3 Bidding Farewell to The Land Beneath The Winds, Sabah

Slept in on Day 3, our last day on the Land Beneath The Wind. Woke up almost noon. Went out to have some brunch/snacks over at a HongKong Style Cafe (Char Chan Teng) nearby at the same time, to purchase some local goodies for our friends and families.

We bought plenty of Sabah Tea. We had been drinking nothing but this aromatic tea throughout our 3d/2n trip there. It was not only aromatic, but pleasantly refreshing and light too. On Yenny's recommendation, we also bought some local coffee later - Tenom Coffee. The coffee is equally nice.

We checked out at 1:00pm. Yenny came to pick us up and brought us to her house to visits all her doggies - Jade the schnauzer, Ivory the golden retriever and Ruby the mongrel (I think her name is Ruby. Not sure.). Jade remembered me! They are no doubt a "man's best friend". In my case, "girl's best friend". Wait... isnt that 'diamonds'? Girls' best friend mah... lols.. nevermind.

She then brought us to this stall specialised in 'Yu Chap' (Everything to do with fish). It was basically noodles/meehoon/kueyteow that comes with any type of fish you fancy and any part of it - fish eggs, fish maw, fish ball.... anything you can come up with, they have it. We select the few typical fish parts that we are used to and order just one bowl of noodle to share among us. Still pretty stuffed from brunch. I tell you... it was so yummy yummy delicious! Ahhh....... It tasted something like our fish head noodle here except it was much much tastier!

Since we still have lots of time to spare before our departure, Yenny brought us to this place by the beach to look see look see and enjoy the seabreeze.

Ordered some fresh coconuts, bbq chicken wings & satay to nibble nibble....

This boy here works at the stall and happily posed for us. I think he quite lengchai also lor... got potential to be a model when he grow up. Lols... Tried chatting with him. Asked him why was he not in school (it was a school day) and he just gave us a blur look. Over there in Sabah, not sure what language to use sometimes. There were plenty of Filipinos, plenty of natives from the jungle and plenty of locals also. Therefore, many a times, not sure to speak Malay or English or Chinese. *scratching head*


He thought mom some 'cool' handsign to pose with. Whatever it means.

It was really nice of Yenny to take a day off work that day to entertain us. Mom & I had so much fun. After yakking & eating for awhile, it was finally time to head for the airport to go home. Yenny dropped us off at the airport and we bidded farewell till we meet again. I wonder, when will 'again' be. Already missing the bbq seafood, the massages, the coconut pudding & etc... :(

Bought some seafood at the airport for my inlaws - some kickass huge tiger prawns & lobster tails. To say it is cheap, it was not exactly cheap la... but very fresh lor...

It was packed up very nicely and well insulated. Still deeply frozen when we got home about 5 hours later. Havent even start to melt yet. No problem at all bringing it back. Just a little heavy carrying it around though. Like carrying bricks like that cause the seafood are frozen in three big cubes of ice blocks, about 6 yellow pages like that... you go figure it out.

While waiting for boarding, mom asked me to take a picture of her in this blue cap of her's which she loves so much. Lols... She said must take a picture with it. That's why la...

This picture here taken as our plane descending towards LCCT marked the end of our 3d/2n trip to the Land Beneath the Winds. Overall, it was a great trip for both mom & I. We had fun. It has been a long time since we last spent time like this together. In fact, this is our first trip together. Just the two of us and it was good. Really good.
