Dad is back for 1 night only on transit before flying back to Brunei tomorrow morning. Just found out that he is leading such an amazing life that I have to blog about this piece of news I just heard.
Apparently, he was supposed to be in transit (though theoretically, it's not really transit-and-wait-in-the-airport per se) as he was in Jakarta (for what purpose, I don't know) But here is the juicy part. I was asking him why he went to Jakarta and he gave me a totally blank look. He acted as if I was spouting nonsense from my Cadbury high cos I was happening to be munching on them.
Well, turns out that I was wrong. He did not go to Jakarta, but rather, he went to East Timor. Yes. East Timor. Gosh, what the hell was he doing there then, I proped further. His reply? For fun and to check out the place.
I don't know how some of you choose to interpret Fun, but for me, certainly the words 'Fun' and 'East Toimor' do not fit together.
New York, Barcelona, London, Tokyo. Yes.
East Timor. No.
Anyways, I had decided to make a trip to Borneo this June with Mum since I cannot get any internships. Besides I cannot let Mum have all the fun in Borneo while I was away for the past holidays. So come June, I will visit Kota Kinabalu in East Malaysia with Mum after years (on my part) of not been there. Maybe we'll hop over to Brunei and look Dad up at the same time. Just hope he'll not be in East Timor again.

Speaking of Kota Kinabalu, it's actually a lovely place (read: boring) but there is good food and great beach resorts set besides the South China Sea. I'm eyeing on the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort and here are some lovely photos!
Now that do not look very bad huh? but here's a place in the hotel you will NOT find me:
The above is hell in paradise, epitomised.
