through the eyes of a lazy co-pilot

I wish I can be as lazy as a panda, eat bamboo everyday & not worrying about getting fat. 
Cause : "I'm a panda & you will still love me." 

So, today was the day I return back to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah because I have work to do & that semester reopens on Monday. sobs. This time, I did not take the flight from Brunei to KK, instead we used a car to drive from there to here. This means one thing! ROAD TRIP! So I will illustrate the journey from Brunei to Sabah (& vice versa, just read this from bottom to the top then!) with pictures I took. 

Pictures aren't HQ or any that fancy (phone cameras can just do that much) but I took pictures of the places that would be important for those who, maybe, want to go to Brunei or Sarawak (example Miri & further beyond) for a fun road trip. As the title said, I was a LAZY co-pilot. This was because my dad was next to me & he'd give me the eye if I start taking pictures like "dafuq are you doing" or something like that. Pictures taken with iPhone3GS using camera application Camera+




we started our journey from home around 10.30ish? yeah. 
That's the Ministry of Finance's building.


flyover...look at them clouds.


oh the public buses here in Brunei are purple in color!



First stop : Kuala Lurah immigration point (no picture) and Tedungan immigration point (as above)


then it started to rain. Where are we heading to to?


Limbang, Sarawak.




drive some more & you'll be going on a ferry ride to cross over to Temburong, a district of Brunei. 
So yes this is how it is : Brunei - Limbang - Temburong (Brunei)



This is the Bangar (I think) immigration point.



My mind wandered off cause I forgot to take a picture of the town but hey look at the skies.



We set on Labu immigration point. This time to go back to Sarawak, a district called Lawas.



Slow.


Be aware.


This is the immigration point upon entering Lawas.



We're near!!



The last immigration point..phew! This is called Merapok/Sindumin immigration point. 






We got hungry so we stopped by Sipitang for some roti canai.



Daddy had nasi briani.


Welcome to Beaufort.



Very greeny.


& then it started to rain.

& then.....

I fell asleep. *smiling with teeth showing*

We reached my aunt's place at 6.30PM and stayed for awhile cause of the rain. That night, it suddenly began to rain really, really hard! Followed by series of cracks of thunder..it was scary. The weather have been bad lately so please everyone be safe!


reached my dorm at 9.30PM. 

What do you need when traveling to/from Brunei on car :
  1. passport
  2. full tank car (this is true for Bruneians especially, you know what I mean~)
  3. Customs forms (this is available at the customs point itself)
  4. Custom form for your car (also available at the customs point itself) 
  5. food 
& that's just it I think.

have a good day! :)
