Mukah.... Memories Left Behind

If not because of my daughter, I wouldn't dream of coming here.  Not just here in Mukah, but maybe outside of Peninsular Malaysia.  She got an offer to study in UITM Mukah.

It is the first time for me to be outside of Peninsular Malaysia, first time boarding a plane.... and also a first time to board small plane (twin otter) in both good weather and raining.

A nice experience, considering that I had only four days leave.  Since its not on school holiday, I had to leave my two sons with my brother.

KLIA, here we come!!!

The bus ride from Ipoh to KLIA went smoothly.  Arrived on time at around 3 am.  I purposely booked my flight at around 8 am because I wanted to be in Mukah in broad daylight.  Just to make me "feel good" venturing into an unknown territory.  Just in case anything bad happens..... Well, you never know, right?  The flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching was also smooth sailing.  And so does the flight to Mukah, and to the chalet that my husband booked.  Alhamdulillah.

KLIA.  Well... It's KLIA, what more can I say.

The waiting game....  My husband is getting restless

Couldn't sleep.... by the way, that's not our luggage!

Early morning view while waiting to board our plane - the airport crews busy doing their job.

Safety instruction...

Breakfast on board - "before"

Breakfast - "during", no "after" picture.  I chose nasi lemak instead of murtabak.

Arrived at Kuching International Airport

Another waiting game to Mukah.  That's not my plane though.

This.... is the plane.

Sungai Rejang (I guess) from the air.

Arrived in Mukah.

The airport is small since it can only cater the twin otter planes.  But its so breezy since its just at the seaside!  No need for air-conditioning!  Mukah is going to have a bigger airport and construction has started.  I don't know what's going to happen to this airport in the future.

This is the twin otter plane.

This is where we stay in Mukah.  Petanak Beach Chalets and Cafe.  About five minutes from the airport.  The authority was doing some improvement to the drainage system when I was there. So, its quite messy in the picture.

Petanak Beach Chalets and Cafe

This is our cute chalet.

View from our chalet - can you see the beach?

The cafe - run by its owner.

We went for sight seeing before the registration day.  It's a modern town, contrary to what I've been told before this.

In front of the library.  This is going to be one of my favourite spot if I were to study here!

This is going to be IKM. Just nearby UITM.

Politeknik Mukah.  Also nearby UITM.

On our way back after the registration, I had this ABC Mukah version (forgot its name).  Full of fruits!!!! Heaven!!!!

Wanted to try mee udang in Oya.  Unfortunately, all the big prawns are sold out! Had to settle with normal size prawn instead.  But.... lucky us, there was an MP eating there (we didn't know).  Had a chat with him and his assistant.  Later, we found out that he had "belanja" us!  Rezeki!

It was raining all the way on our way back to Kuching, Luckily, only had slight turbulence during the flight.  Nothing much to look at, just grey clouds...

Lunch on the way back to KL

Hello Selangor!
