Land Below The Wind

I was absent again! Yes again and again! Excuses; work, wedding preparations and most of all, I chose to sleep whenever I had time. I have too many outdated posts and I don’t know where to start off with.

Anyway, few months back, my cousin from Johor came to visit. I lived in Sandakan for so many years but have yet to visit some of the main attractions. One of them is the Agnes Keith House. Not much shots, as we were only allowed to snap on the outer of the place. There were more interesting stuffs inside like antique typewriter, old phones, old-styled appliances and a big room with a huge mirror that makes the place looks eerie. Just RM2 and I think is worth a visit.

After the visit, I even bought the book written by the owner of the house. It’s a good book with the writer’s experiences of Borneo.

Borneo’s English Tea House

About 3 months ago I went back to my hometown, Sandakan for a short visit along with 2 friends. I know this is really “updated” but I don’t have a choice. I have been busy la. We arrived early on the first day but I spent some time with my mom as I knew that I will not have much time for her since I have to bring my friends around. Anyway, our first stop was Agnes Keith English Tea House.

Friends seemed to be very interested in the place and so we decided to try out their food. While waiting for our food, as usual, we took some pictures.

It was so HOT that day. Those pretty huts are all taken by ‘ang mohs’. So we had to sit under some big trees and so afraid that the birds might give us some little presents.

Proud Pretty Peacock

English Croquet! I did join in the fun. Boring game though.

Today’s Special menu! It was right beside us. Nothing to do so just snapped.

Food finally arrived. This was my order. Does it look like Caesar Salad to you?! It didn’t look like one to me. It was quite expensive also. It cost about RM23 which I think is not worth at all but I must say it was quite nice… hehe!

Not bad but the fries sucks!

Malaysia // Sandakan // Travel Log

Lankayan Island

Location: Sandakan, Sabah

I have been to many places the past few years. Took quite a lot of pictures from these places.

Since I haven’t been blogging for so long, I guess I will start from this new island I visited during year end of 2005. Nothing much is there during the time we went. I only see a few tourists. I think by now it should be fully developed.

So we have to board from Yacht Club, Sandakan and it took us approximately 1 1/2 hours to get to the island.

Upon arrival…
