Emm, but as far as i could recall. Back in USM years, (freshman years) I had a room mate name Sanisah bt Hj Samuri (ermm i think so- but it sounded so familiar right...??but she was not related to the famous satay kajang though). I wonder what happen to her and where she is now? 10 years ago, i had a red headed (of course artificial) room mate from Tawau, my first impression of Tawau rather changed after i recalled how my x-room mate portrayed herself as a Tawau girl. She was quite a babe so i think Tawau will fit me fine.
Hubby had to come 1st, he told me that theres a supermarket (grocery store i should call it) just beside his camp. Just outside the gate perimeter. 3-5 minutes walking distance. There are a few local restaurant around the area too. No need to travel far. No need for me to bring the whole house to Tawau since its easy to get my necessity. That was what he advised me.
My 1st journey to Tawau was a bit chaotic. I stay in Penang. there is no direct flight from Penang to Tawau if travelling by Air Asia. Its the same with MAS (but MAS has a dedicated continuing flight that awaits in KLIA). my flight was at 2pm and it was delayed to 4pm. My next flight to Tawau from LCCT was at 6.30pm. I was lucky that the plane i boarded to LCCT landed just a few minutes before check in closing time. Everything was hand carry so It really save a lot of trouble but i still need to run to catch the next flight. and i actually used the phrase "Excuse me, i have to catch a flight in 5 minutes" and i had a hard time catching my breath too. Huh!!
The flight was delayed (again!!) due to some technical problem..and i have to walk so far to get to the substitute plane..it was so tiring and i really pity those old folks and the kids and parents with babies.. it was such a hassle for them. I must say that Air Asia is only fit for FIT people. i am not sure if they charged us if we request for a wheelchair or perhaps i should check on that too. Well, what u pay is what you get lady.. sigh!
I finally step on Tawau Ground at 10 pm, and i did something against the law (i realized only when i want to leave Tawau). my passport wasn't stamped prior to entering the state. And it was a huge offence i must say. I had a quarrel with the immigration lady officer saying that i didn't know the law as that was the first time i was there. (The quarrel happened during my departure to KL after 2 staying weeks in Tawau as an illegal visitor) By the way, i didn't know how the hell i managed to go through without getting the stamp? But i remember that there was no immigration people around upon my arrival only to know that i had used the wrong entrance door. (And why was there supposed to be another door without any authorities in charged?) Silly wasn't it?
Yay!! At last i could see hubby's face. waited for me at the airport arrival gate. Enough of a day journey. The day after was when hubby being conferred his Major Rank. So, Tawau is a blessing in disguise i should say.
