LONG WAY FROM HOME

It was already nine when we started the trip to Kota Kinabalu.
First was a stop to pick up dad at his house.
The  trip was all the way with dad talking with Andrew ...about everything that comes to mind. A change for Andrew's weekly trip I'm sure.
 -we stopped at mile thirty two for an early lunch
-atTamparuli to chek on dad's tailor - only to find that they closes on sunday
We sent dad at his Likas house around four before droping our baggages at home.
The 'deal' was actually to pick dad later on inorder to bring him to papar.
he was not patience enough to wait for us cos he had left ahead when we came for him later. His excuse was the car he was driving had only one head light working so he didn't want to get caught on the road at night.
 -Andrew friend Amat plus Rocky and Florence came along on the trip.
Being a sunday it was difficult to find a Chinese restaurant open . We ended up at papar's market place.
Not a bad choice as the food they prepared  were infact 'good'.
IT was already eight thirty when we came back to the house...to chit-chat a little about the land we were going to see tomorrow.
They left around ten . Lydia and me spent the night in papar together with moing.

Since bedtime was almost immediately when Andrew left for KK the night before. It was a 'long' night for me.
I think I woke up three times before my 5.30am alarm rang.
Morning view was great...together with the smell of kampong






Whole of the time I was there were spent on holding the broom and sweeping the whole house.
-big house which has not been swept for a long time
-cutting a banana tree and plucking papayas

-around tbree we went out to 'inspect' on kampung's grazing land that I planned to aquire. About one hacter of plantation land in all that was just next to one dad had bought for Atlas a year ago and has been planted with palm oil.
-we were informed that there's another piece that was offered. Will need Andrew's red light to get this on as well. Location was also next to the one offered earlier.

- Went down to KK in the evening. Andrew 'picked' us up at the Likas's house.

- went out to centre point around seven thirty to let Lydia try the lane but none was available . She managed to play three games only after nine thirty.

- it was a 'long' day and was in lala land the moment we got home
