Flight to Miri::

Harlem Yu’s Yong Qi (Courage)

[Yesterday]

I flew back to East Malaysia [Sarawak] from West Malaysia [Johor] yesterday night at 18:20.. I took a private car down from my house to Johor for around $50, and then I headed right to the check-in. My luggage exceeded by 2 kg, and I had no Malaysian Dollars, so the attendant advised me to remove some items and transfer them to my hand-carried bag. A fake leather handbag of mine and a box of slippers for my mum did the trick, and I saved RM30.00.

At the airport, I talked to a Korean economics student from the top university in Singapore and her Singaporean friend, who were heading to Bintulu in Sarawak for the holidays. Sometimes I feel ashamed with myself for not working harder enough, but thinking of the stress, I sometimes feel contented being in my current school.

I downed a cup of hot Milo, and had a video conference with Zhilong for thirty minutes while waiting inside the gate for the plane to arrive, at six. I slept until like 19:15 or 19:30 in the plane, then after finishing a hot spicy meal of Vegetarian Bryani (it’s Indian fried rice, I think), I played Chocolatier on my iPod Touch for a while, until the plane was about to land. I rushed through immigration, and then picked up my baggage at the Claim. I almost had a tough time chasing my box that the moving belt was about to whisk away to the other far end, though. It’s funny thinking about it. After that I was done with the airport, and left immediately! 🙂 It’s so simple compared to Changi International Airport, which has countless rules and regulations, and hefty taxes.

[Today]

Finally, I am back in Sarawak after so long. I’ll be heading off back to Brunei in the afternoon. It’s around 1 and a half hour’s drive from here. I went with my niece to the cafe for breakfast, which had limited choices, and after that surfed my laptop in the rooms. 🙂

CHEESE!!

**Edit: this is the first time I have seen CAGE in such a role. (Normally he plays goody-two-shoes or super-heroic characters. Recall the too-good-for-everything guy in FACE OFF, where he replaced the evil guy’s character in the face change. And also in the movie with Penelope Cruz where he was the super-nice German general/soldier who fell in love with the Italian village doctor. I haven’t seen many of his movies, but I do think his appearance in SORCERER suits him well and his character in the movie is a mix of strengths, goodness and feelings. In short, his character has CHARACTER!! Haha.) As for the guy who played the APPRENTICE, I would say Disney had a good pick as he appears to be the down-to-earth guy-next-door part, bland and clueless. A guy who wants to be just normal, but he knows he has the responsibility as he is the one chosen. Love the magical effects. 😉 **
