I'm So Glad


I'm so glad to finally be back home, after spending the weekend in Bintulu to check out the Borneo International Kite Festival 2011 which was held at the old Bintulu airport strip. It was fun. I was there last year, and in my humble opinion, this year's festival is merrier than last year.

We left Sibu at 1.45p.m. Friday, and arrived at Bintulu at 4.30p.m. It drizzled around Tatau, a half an hour's drive from Bintulu. The evening was still, and the breeze was not strong enough for kite-flying. So, most of the huge kites were not airborne. The sun sets, and we headed to Buenas Filipino Lechon for dinner.

Next day. Morning spent on reformatting the PC and laptop with Windows 7. Had tom yum for lunch. Around 3pm, when the sun is not too hot, we set out for kite-flying at the festival.

The art of playing a kite. Like me. LOL.

People from all walks of life, whether young or old, join together in playing this dying sport
The world, gathered in one place, for one sport.

That's me, flying the kite real low.
The flags of nations participating. Can you identify all?

I did what it asked.
Later that night, feeling very exhausted, we went for dinner at Ipoh Town Kopitiam, next to Tune Hotels Bintulu.

Next day, after church, we headed to San Fransisco Coffee Co. for breakfast. 

Cup is kinda cute.

Muffins.
Pancakes.
Coddled egg set, coffee and iced chocolate. 
After all was done, we went back home, pack our stuff and went back to Sibu. It was truly an enjoyable trip, and pictures had helped me telling the story because a picture is worth a thousand words. Now it's back to books, and SPM is near. Memories would be there to remind me how good life is.
