Tawau Trip: Part 2
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
The last time I landed in Tawau was like 2 years ago, and it boggles my mind that I couldn’t recall the airport at all! No sense of deja vu or any recollection that I've been there before. Is my memory going mush? Huh I’ll need to take gingko biloba before long then.
Our SO in Tawau, Sulaiman, fetched us (me, Cin & Dave) at the airport around 11am last 16th April. Uniform palm oil trees decorated both side of the road as we zoomed out of the airport compound. Took 25 mins to reach town area by which I was yawning profusely. Something about the motion of a moving car rock me to dreamland faster than a lullaby hehehe… That’s me, I can sleep at a drop of a hat. But not when I’m the driver ya.
This is where we stayed.
Me fascinated with …
The hotel awning railing... so flowery...
Our room toilet wall paneling (^_^) Love the lil' flower detail.
Then we were ready for business… the exhibition.This is where the exhibition was held.
Exhibition underway.
Crowd at our humble booth… 
The market closes around 5pm++… the same time the exhibition ends on each day (17 & 18 Apr). Cin & I had to steal a bit of time and rush for the goodies-buying-spree on Friday… Such a colourful market… with lots of snacks to choose from and fresh raw food galore...
At last, it was time to fly home… during the long wait to board, we were entertained by a lil’ bird who seems to skip-skip-skip and scavenged for crumbs on the floor. Ketara keboringan hehe...
