My Paradise in Celebes Sea 2011 - Day 5 , 8 June 2011

Today I have a big breakfast.  We went to have breakfast in Mei Xiang, unfortunately our old kancil key curve a bit as my sister close the door.  We have no choice as we had to go to Feng Ling as they know us so they can help us up.  The shop to fix it will only open in 2 hours time, so we lent a hammer from them and we fix it ourself.  After that we go to Mei Xiang, I have the 10 Butter Prawn as my breakfast, 1 to my sister and 1 for Ching.  After that we went to a shop to buy seaweed and salted fish. Later we went to Turtle Tomb Restaurant to have my apple fried squid .  Off course we order the cheap fruit juice too.

After packing, we drove back to Tawau.  We went to the 猪肉包shop for lunch, they still not open, we had to eat 菠萝包,we order 油条, not nice.  Sandakan 油条 better.  After that, we went to Sin On market to take our seafood and went to wet market in Tawau town to buy dried sea cucumber for Aun Chee.  Only we know that the salted fish and seaweed we bought in Semporna is too expensive.  Seaweed in Semporna cost RM 12 per kilo, but Tawau only RM 9 per kilo.  Just can't understand the place produce seaweed sell the product more expensive than other places.

We fetch the rental car personnel and we are on our way to the airport.  While we are about 800 m from the airport, the car broke down, I think no more fuel.  We put more than RM 60 for fuel, we only drive for 300 km, I think there is something wrong with the car.  Luckily we are ahead of time to the airport and we manage to hire a taxi to send us to the airport with RM 10.

We shop around for the T-shirt, and we check in.  The personnel in Air Asia said cannot check in cold parcel and ask us to hand carry.  Luckily we manage to check in another cold parcel .  We met an uncle and he told us the Air Asia people is making fun with us as they asked him to cut his box smaller and he had to pay extra RM 10 to the store downstair to do it.  When we enter the departure hall, they told us our box is too big, so we need to make the box to the correct size.  So, we went to that shop, we saw lots of people is doing the same thing.  Air Asia really help that store to make profit as they only cut the Styrofoam into the correct size and charge us RM 10.

We have an eventful journey back to West Malaysia.  Brother in law is waiting for us at the gate, and we went to Kajang to eat satay before went back to sister's house in Serdang.
